Pet Shop Boys Praise Arctic Monkeys And blast modern pop music...by Scott Colothan on 5/19/2006Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant has blasted contemporary pop music acts like Shayne Ward, saying that the real pop music now lies with guitar acts. Tennant believes that bands like Arctic Monkeys are bastions of pop music’s flame, not reality TV show winners. He said: "We are going through a phase where the term 'pop' is used to mean rubbish. "But bands like the Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs, The Killers and Franz Ferdinand make pop music. ”They like to think they are rock but they are pop and all have a sense of fun about what they do and have a great look.” As contact music quotes, he finished: "It annoys me that pop gets clogged up with Pop Idol and reality TV rubbish. "Shayne Ward has a waxwork in Madame Tussauds - can you believe it?"
