My kind of [EDIT: off-]topic... [EDIT: :D ]

 

Too bad this BB limits you to only something like 8000 characters a post. :D

 

 

This is gonna take me a while... I'll be back.

 

But right off the top, I'd say any band where the male members of the band wore spandex.

Oh come on! surely you realize Cherry Pie by Warrant is an allegory for racial injustice.

 

Swing it in there cause she wants me to feed here

So I mixed up the batter

And she licked the beater

1. Dave Matthews: I have no idea how this guy got a recording contract. Is this music?

2. Alanis Morrisette: You can only sing those simple melodies, annoying falsettos and stupid lyrics so many times. No real musicality here. She was interviewed on "Tavis Smiley" last month and said she wrote 22 songs in 20 days in the studio and said that songs "just keep coming out of me".

3. Sting: Biggest mumbler of lyrics.

4. John Mayer: One of the worst "singers". Pretends to be a significant guitar player. Shameful.

5. Sheryl Crow: At best a satisfactory singer. Poor/weak tone in her voice. At best a satisfactory songwriter. She got her recording contract thanks to her old boss Eric Clapton.

6. KISS: Not rock-n-roll, not music, just a Halloween party + ego.

Bruce Springsteen: When he sings it sounds like he is taking a {censored}e. And that born to run song sucks, and everyone thinks it's like some classic, brilliant song.

 

Kid Rock: Just a {censored}ing dork, and his songs suck. I don't know how he is still making music.

 

Linkin Park: Every song is the same, Beats in the beginning, Rap the verse, Loud singing chorus, back to Rap again... Repeat.

 

David Bowie: Creepy guy. Hate his voice, sounds too 80's for me. Can't stand him.

I agree with Bruce Springsteen. He sounds like a guy who just walked off a 12 hr. shift at the loading docks and his range is pretty poor. He's tried to fool the public that he's walking in Dylan's footsteps.

Tom Waits: I haven't listened to enough of his music but what I have seen makes me wonder. I saw him perform (and interviewed) on Conan O'Brien last year and it was extremely surreal. He had white powder poured on the floor and he stomped on it and kicked it into the air.

Have you heard any tracks off this album yet?

I had trouble getting into him until I listened to these three discs.

HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! I LOVE it!

 

How about the ENTIRE "Teeny-Bop" and current "R&B" industries?!

 

I know, let's have a drum machine and MAYBE ONE keyboard, and have some chick or dork just sing (or talk) over it and call it music?!

Oh, oh! Let's have them DANCE on-stage, since there's really NOTHING else going on!!

 

"Music" is dead, "musicality" is its victim, and the industry itself is to blame. :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse:

To go off topic in this kinda off-topic thread (but to embroider on my first post):

 

I don't get music where grown up people have to act like teenagers on stage long after that looks utterly ludicrous. Nothing wrong with old guys (I'm an old guy) rocking. Just leave the silly clothes to people who still don't know how silly they look. They're the only ones who have the clueless grace to pull it off.

Coldplay--I don't hate them. They've got a few good songs, (that song from the iPod commercial is exceptionally good), but an entire album of theirs will put you to sleep.

 

Nickelback--I actually have a sort-of fascination with this band. The fact that they can create such dull, dreary music, yet be one of the most successful bands around with a ton of hits--they've got to be doing something right. I hope to someday figure out what that is.

 

Led Zeppelin--I don't know. I suppose they were great in their day, but one of my band mates plays them in his car sometimes, and I just find them sort of boring. I suppose I could say the same about Pink Floyd or a lot of those artsy '70s rock bands with really long songs.

you got it all wrong mate. I really enjoy quite a few of the Nirvana tracks, but he sure did make it cool to be a greasy depressed loser.

Nickelback actually seem to be decent musicians but they're content writing disposable radio rock and making millions. hey.... I'd sell out for a few million :evil:

That's part of the reason for my fascination. They don't apologize for "selling out" (if there is such thing nowadays) and making loads of money, and they don't pretend to be "artists". Their music is purely product, and that's fine with them. It's kind of refreshing, actually.
