Not a band, but does anyone even remember any of the winners of American Idol?
It says something about American Idol's actual relevance to music when Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson are pretty much it and no one even likes their boring music that much. I'll bet half of the people who watch shows like American Idol only do it to laugh at the terrible auditions. Though, Weird Al did a pretty good parody of Taylor Hick's song so it's not all bad.

My brother brought their album because he liked Remedy. Boy, was he in for a disappointment.

Whenever anybody mentions Seether I pretend they're talking about the Verruca Salt song and it makes it a little better.

Remember when Mitch Hedberg said that wearing a turtleneck is like being choked all day by a really weak person? That's what Jack Johnson sounds like to me. Like a terminal-stage cancer patient is trying to choke me out.

kelly clarkson has had some good songs, and quite a few top 10 hits, so i'd say some people like(d) her

you'd have to know like five bands in all of music to unironically called AC/DC the most overrated ever

like loving seriously?

"this band that's basically only listened to by people over 40 who ride motorcycles, most overrated ever in the history of music"
you raise a good point, i'm being too kind on AC/DC by calling them "overrated"

a better term for them would be "a glorified Nickelback" because all of their music is the same

When a band takes out commercials on TV to sell albums alongside Billy Mays ads (RIP), I think it's safe to say they suck out loud.

the only worthwhile musical thing lenny kravitz ever did was the guitar riff in "are you gonna go my way." only the riff, too, because the rest of the song blows

Kravitz is a master of copying the most popular songs from literally any decade. Robin Thicke should apply for an internship.

Also what the gently caress is Dream Theater?

the main difference between AC/DC and Nickelback is only one of them takes themselves seriously as real artists and that's what makes them suck

I just read an interview with Chad Kroeger to prove my point, and he actually seems like a decent person, but he also talks about how much time and thought he puts into writing his songs and the ~*~deeper meanings~*~ behind some of them

all of AC/DC's songs are about drinking or loving or being a bad rear end, which is okay and why they aren't Nickelback tier

AC/DC is like the proto Andrew WK, and no one would say Andrew WK sucks because all of his songs sound the same

I mean, I feel kind of bad for Chad Kroeger since he seems to be sincere in his drive. BEP are completely devoid of talent and artistic drive. you cannot love music and BEP at the same time
