Worst band ever: REM or Chili Peppers? - Page 14

BauerAlmeida · 12-09-2012, 02:34 PM

Muse is a great band. One of the best of the last decade for sure.

RoachTennis · 12-09-2012, 03:55 PM

Any hip hop is easily the worst **** ever to hit the airwaves!

Well, I think we've settled that one. Thanks, fellas.

Now what's up with this other haircut band that's been touted, Radiohead? Equally bad, or worse?

radiohead is so ridiculous. In rainbows is one of the most amazing albums i've ever heard. Miles ahead of everyone. They will stand the test of time.

By the way, Murmur was one of my favorite albums ever, and I listened to Mothers Milk when it came out probably a hundred thousand times in a row.

So not sure why this thread exists

Radiohead makes beautiful music, but they're no Sophia Loren . . .

Radiohead is still the greatest band in the world. So much so that when they release an album that isn't very good, that album will get automatic 5-star critical treatment . . . because the Radiohead "brand" is that strong.

Are you suggesting they should have been included in the poll?

Bowtiesarecool · 12-15-2012, 05:38 PM

Worst band ever is a strong claim. You could have at least made it more entertaining by being less serious.

Example: Poll; Who is better, Eurythmics or Ace of Base? Why?

slice bh compliment · 12-16-2012, 02:12 AM

^Funny.
Eurhythmics are critically acclaimed because Dave Stewart is smart and it is basically illegal to disparage Annie Lennox. But I can give them the nod...as Ace of Base isn't even a band.

So, I heard an REM song at a party on Friday. Next 'song' was some awful noise by a band called Limp Bizkit, making the likes of Radiohead, REM and the Chili Peppers sound like virtuosi. The pairing made me think about this thread, and heycal's frustrations, haha.

EDIT:
THat said, I really liked the Bends and OK Computer. Then they started to lose me.

On solo trips, I used to listen to The Bends all the way through. Their successes on those two 'albums' are why any noises they make are certified 'hits'. Thom York farts while his iPhone indicates an incoming email...and the critics swoon. That gives me an idea.

Bowtiesarecool · 12-16-2012, 03:25 AM

What do you mean AoB isn't a band? Ace of Base is something like, the third most successful Swedish band, dude. 30 million+ album sales, 9 times platinum for the Sign.

Bowtiesarecool · 12-16-2012, 03:42 AM

One of the more interesting things I find about today's music is just how disposable the artists seem to be.

The pretty pop girls get replaced as soon as someone younger and prettier is found.

People listen to so many different music delivery systems now that real bands actually get [i]less[i] exposure.

I remember specifically when Simon Cowell formed One Direction. Bands like these are the real winners because the kids only need to be attractive and know how to follow instructions. How easy is that job? Ride around in the bus/plane, smile, sign some autographs, get blowed while your stylist makes you pretty for the show, go out and dance in front of 30,000 screaming 13 year old girls who want nothing more than to marry you and have your babies, go to the studio where the music is already there, written by experts who know how to write a song specifically designed to target the hearts of said 13 year old girls, record the whole album in one take bc auto tune will do most of the work anyway, go home, spend your paycheck as quickly as possible before you're replaced by the next boy band.

That begs the question... I wonder how many of these pop singers/bands actually just get a plain old paycheck while someone else collects the royalties.

Great stuff, Swedes know their pop, for sure, and...Flight of the Conchords were New Zealand's 4th most popular comedy/folk duo, haha.

Yes, bow ties are indeed cool.

I meant that Ace of Base is not really considered a band in the traditional sense. I'd call them more of a studio act, which is a step above a boy 'band'.

Bowtiesarecool · 12-16-2012, 04:01 AM

Fair enough. I honestly can't stand both them AND annie lenox but that's just my taste... growing up on guys like Chopin, and Hendrix.

slice bh compliment · 12-16-2012, 07:04 PM

Chopin was a hack and Hendrix was a no-talent poseur.
Kidding.

Fredi Chopin and Jimi Hendrix? Wow, your excellent taste puts this thread into perspective, iLaughing. Thanks.

Worst composer of the 19th century, Chopin or Lizst?

Wagner's bloated, caterwauling self-aggrandizement ranked him as Musical Director of Hell. This inflated posseur could be described as the Jon Bon Guido of classical music while Berlitz was really only noted for his chain of language schools.

Chopin & Hendrix ain't no Seals & Croft.

Dedans, what is the source of your long obsessive hatred of Jon Bon Jovi? Is there an interesting back story there perhaps?

Don't get me wrong: I know he sucks too, but I never think to post about him or even think to think about him at all. But he's sure on your radar...

Enjoy, and remember, good boys don't impregnate their sisters......(ie; be careful where you are sticking that blade Siegmund).

DP, yes...I cannot believe Looney Tunes devoted so much time and space to him. Wagner, not Bon Jersey.

So, in this thread...
bon jersey : DP's radar :: REM and RHCP : heycal's radar
