The Walrus posted:cake are good, like top 10 90s bands good The outro to I will survive is too long by about a month, and short skirt long jacket has claimed the lives of three power buttons so far. But I'm the same person who defends blind melon's first album from the hate its overplayed single generates, so if you say cake deserve a pass then okay, they do.

Live was a Christian rock band, but not a Christian Rock band, imho. Their most famous song has allusions to reincarnation. Cake was good. Dave Grohl is a piece of poo poo, the Tom Brady of rock. Harald fucked around with this message at 07:35 on Dec 29, 2019 |

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:the worst band spot has to be judged by the gap between the quality of the music and the overblown, gigantical praise from fans, the music press, the culture industry and so on in general I remember having a Tower Records clerk get all pissy when I mentioned after prompting that I thought Lou Reed sucked when I saw him live in the Amnesty International benefit concert. He asked who I liked, and I enthusiastically praised Peter Gabriel's performance. He then started twisting my words to make me seem shallow because I mentioned Peter Gabriel "really put on a show" whereas Lou Reed was boring. I was on my heels because he had brought the topic up and I hadn't been expecting lip from a Tower Records clerk, and so just left the store. When I build my time machine, come back with me so I can unleash you on that smug, wrong fucker.

Glenn Quebec posted:Also: Creed blows. Uhh, Staind, uhhh POD. Basically any numetal from the early 2000s sucks poo poo. They all do. System of a down singing opera shittily to loving Godsmack. It's a generation of terrible, terrible 'edgy' but radio safe music. May God have mercy on me for surviving it ill fight you to death over system of a down but i agree with the rest. pod is basically christian rock that tricked a buncha metal heads. and godsmack has one loving good song and its not even good enough for me to remember the name of but its about a snake bite being like heroin. the worst was slipknot though.

It's not exactly original to rip on nu metal. I will say one thing, when I go back to those bands that I listened to as a young adolescent like Linkin Park, I can sometimes still see why I liked them. The verses are nearly always kind of boring but the choruses are powerful, loud guitars and stuff, and the angst speaks to me. The rapping is usually embarrassing but in their own inept way they were at least trying to transcend genre. Limp Bizkit is the major exception, they really were and are unbearably bad, there are no retro-nostalgic goggles powerful enough to change that, and I should have known better even at twelve years old.

I've never listened to Lou Reed in my life and goddamn this sucks! The way he so energetically counts it out at the start I was expecting something with punch, but no! It's a quiet and generic little skipping bass line and drum beat. So then I thought, based on your post he sounds like an rear end in a top hat, maybe he's saving the rockin stuff for himself? Nope, he pumps his fist then joins in with a limp strumming of literally the first chords everyone learns on guitar, so quietly he may as well not be. The lyrics were trash so I skipped around to look for the solo (it sucked) and saw a couple shots of his band who look like so bored and rear end whipped I felt sorry for them. Like they can dimly remember when playing music felt good. Thanks Brutalist McDonalds, I now know what you know

Linkin Park was tolerable, but Limp Bizkit was quite possibly the worst live performance I had ever seen, and I don’t think I’ve seen anything worse since. And I say that having been dragged to a five finger death punch concert.

half cocaine posted:Sup fans of gin blossoms The story of their guitarist is depressing as poo poo. The guy wrote their two biggest hits, Hey Jealousy and Found Out About You. And right before the band became huge, they kicked him out and completely hosed him over by having him sign away the rights to his music for a pittance. And then he ended up shooting himself in the head. Wikipedia posted:As the Gin Blossoms experienced mounting success performing songs he had written, Hopkins became increasingly despondent. Although he had always dreamed of having a gold record, when he received one (for the song "Hey Jealousy"), he hung it up for two weeks before taking it down and then destroying it. Nine days later, during an intake consultation in the detox unit of Phoenix's St. Luke's Hospital, Hopkins sneaked out and bought a .38 caliber pistol. The next day, December 5, 1993, Hopkins committed suicide.

Am I allowed to hate KISS? They loving suck, possibly more than even Nickleback or Creed. I have never understood why anyone could like them ever. (I'd say worst rock album is Metallica's St Anger an album so lovely the rock station in the area APOLOGIZED whenever they had to play it. Talk about a fall from grace.) Someone please explain Kiss to me. lovely costumes and lame arena rock shouldn't have made it this long.
