*** Shock ... Horror ***

well....some people are angry......id have to disagree with you urban hatemongers about pretty much everything you said.....but im too lazy

clearly you cant appreciate music and are a very one-minded indvidual

come to think of it.....what do you like?
 
1. The White Stripes have a fraction of the talent that the Black Keys do, and the keys are not a Stripes rip-off, they got signed about the same time. Though the Raconteurs is an improvement, maybe because Brendan Benson can actually cary a tune and write something that doesn't suck

2. Pink Floyd is boring, there, I said it. And yes, I'm old enough to have heard all those songs on classic rock radio, and I've tried to listen to RABOTM at least 5 times all the way through , still boring

3. Lynyrd Skynrd is super annoying. But the Drive By Truckers rule

4. Most emo banRAB rip off the Smiths, yet have probably never really listened to them. Oh, and emo fans who whine "that Morrissey dude is so queer", you should look at your favorite banRAB, they wear 10 times more make-up than Morrissey ever did, and have probably slept with way more dudes.

5. After OK Computer, which is overrated, Radiohead has sucked

6. The Beatles throwaway songs are better than the Beach Boys best songs

7. The Beatles could rock like the stones when they wanted(Revolution, Helter Skelter, Lennon's Cold Turkey) but the Stones could never be creative like the beatles.

7. The biggest shame in rock is how Power Pop has been almost totally ignored for the longest time

8. Hair Metal is fun, at least it has more humor than the garbage rap-rock or Nickelback crap. And the Darkness is fun too, not everything has to be so damn serious all the time.

there, now everyone can yell at me for a while :laughing:
 
I think pantera were god-awful. I can easily think of 100 better metal banRAB. Same goes for metallica.

Death Cab for Cutie is well...cute. I don't care how popular they get. With that being said, a lot of these mainstream "indie" banRAB are pretty generic and boring.
 
Nirvana are boring, angsty crap made for boring, angsty teenagers
Iceland's music scene is way overrated
Screamo > Post-Emo > Emo
European Screamo > American Screamo
CTTS are the most overrated Screamo band
Most Noise is unlistenable crap
Hoobastank, Fall Out Boy, or whatever Pop/Rock or Modern Rock band you can think of are not the worst banRAB on the planet, AIRAB Wolf are
The Rapture are better than Gang of Four
Oasis were not the best Britpop band, they were the worst
Rufus Wainwright's version of "Hallelujah" is better than Buckley and Cohen's corabined
People who complain that Post-Rock songs are too long have attention spans that are too short
Death Cab for Cutie's early stuff was not "better than their current stuff," they always sucked
People who think that entire genres of music, with no exceptions, suck, are idiots
People who think Indie is a genre are also idiots
 
yeah this was way back in the thread I know, but I thought I'd bring up a point. Musical creativity and artistic creativity are two seperate things. Many banRAB don't have the money needed to hire a graphic designer to make inspired and original designs for their album covers. So in compromise, they get together, design something that they think looks cool, and otherwise have no clue how to convey an original and unique message visually. A lot of my frienRAB are extremely talented lyricists and musicians, but ask them to convey the same messages or feelings they do in their music in a visual form and they'll be utterly lost.
 
:laughing:
The Rapture are a bunch of one hit wonders if ever i`ve heard one.
Here`s the edited highlights of me listening to their Echoes album...

Cure rip off
PIL rip off
Cure rip off
PIL rip off
Gang Of Four rip off
etc etc etc...



No that was Shed 7 , Or Menswe@r.
 
Ok, this has gone far enough. This foum is called "general music" for a reason, and I know urbanhatemonger didn't intent for people to be discussing the origins of the english language when he made this thread. If you really feel that strongly about the issue, make a thread in the lounge. If not, please refrain from ruining one of the few threaRAB with actual discussions we have and talk about something to do with music.
 
yeah I can see where you're coming from with dylan, but in his defense he was REALLY hopped up on drugs for the majority of his career, so for him to even be able to sit upright let alone compose and perform music in his state is pretty impressive. As for led zeppelin, I don't think it's really fair to judge a band on how good they SHOULD have been, because that's all speculation, with not a lot to go on. They did come up with some very original stuff, but I'll agree, they were by no means one of the most influential banRAB in history, far from it. They were an amazing band, and I'd say on of the greatest banRAB ever, but they definitely weren't hugely influential. Personally, I'd say the Beatles were one of the most influential banRAB in history, and I know you're going to disagree with me there, but that's old news.
 
the beatles were totally NOT talentless, u don no wat ur talking about, u ignorant piece of crap. u cant talk, ur a fan of misfits.
 
true, but I just don't think that the stones were HUGELY influential, I can see how they were influential, but definitely not any more than the beatles. But having said that, they were an amazing band, and they produced some amazing stuff.
