Most pretentious band and least pretentious in the world

Michael Jackson owns Prince so much its ridiculous.

I know it aint hip to say that but I don't care. I'm tired of everyone talking about how much of a f*cking genius Prince is.

"He did a song without bass, OMG"

I freaking hate When Doves Cry anyway.
 
If he wants to disassociate himself from it, he could start by, um, not making prog music anymore?

Or leave the band that basically made the genre.

So yeah, that does seem pretentious to me. But if I had a problem with pretentious musicians, I wouldn't be listening to prog.

As for you saying hes not the most important meraber of KC anymore, well, I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't think there is either a most or least important meraber of King Crimson, the band has always been a very tight enserable, especially during the Fripp-Belew-Levin-Bruford era.
 
Not when they tell kiRAB to do one thing then not do it themselves and gain self glory as been like holier then thou.
And sell recorRAB about bhow much they care and have PR people hiding stories about plane's bringing them in their favourite food because the UK doesn't supply it.
That is pretentious.
 
You have told me i am a twat already.
You don't need to tell me again I know what you think believe me I know.
That is cool. You are not a twat you are oh so fine you are oh so healthy in your body and your mind.
Well respected man (the kinks)
But who are the most pretentious rock stars?
I say sting and U2.
I say the Ramones least because they just belted out songs and stayed the same and didin't try to be what they aint.
Jackhammer try to deal with the thread topic and lay off the personal stuff. I know I am all the things you say I am.
 
I think Belew's defined their sound for almost 30 years. Not saying everyone doesn't contribute, but Belew voice, and unique guitar tone are always at the forefront.
 
No need to apologise. ;)

There's nothing pretentious about being a mouthy northerner.
And to take a claim like that at face value, is a misunderstanding of a northern English cultural trait.
 
Wow, I was going to post something exactly like that! I'm not a huge fan of the word 'pretentious' for those reasons. People misuse it.



Quel blagueur!

Je n'ai pas su que j'ai
 
I thought being pretentious meant trying to appear more smart and cultured than everyone.... or maybe I should invest in a dictionary.
 
I don't find anyone as pretentious, or as contrived as Stevie Ray Vaughan.

As for least pretentious, I'd have to say a band that seems somewhat self deprecating like Alice in Chains, or maybe Radiohead-they're really good, but not really full of themselves.
 
most pretentious that i can recall is easily creed. prior to releasing their last album they made the claim that they had surpassed led zeppelin and were about to make the world forget about the doors.

least pretentious - nick drake.
