Title: Bands that Suck
Post by: Dave Gray on January 18, 2006, 08:47:11 am
You know -- hate on John Mayer all you want.  He may be a sensitive pussy, but at least he doesn't masquerade as a hard ass.

I hate:
Staind
Nickelback

This genre of rock -- I'm not sure what the name is -- I call it suburban angst rock -- sucks ass.

I like Stained. The only music I don't like is country and new Metallica.

Well most of today's music is corny. I listen to mostly old school stuff. Does that mean i'm getting old ?

You are getting old when every song by the same band sounds alike to you, and you feel that newer bands that kids listen to these days suck.

The reason why Staind music gets old quick is this:  you are a recovering addict.  You fucked up your life.  Everyone hated you.  You're sorry.  We get it.  Stop writing songs about it.  "It's been awhile" pretty much covered it, you don't need to write album after album about the same freaking thing.

The bands that were pissing me off for a while are the Green Day clones.  Blink 182, Sum 41, etc.  And now Green Day themselves are pissing me off.  Is there a more boring song in the world than "BLVD of Broken Dreams?"  You walk alone.  Thanks, we get that too.

The Black Eyed Peas used to be GREAT.  They were progressive, much like Outkast, and had something to say about the world and society.  "MY Humps?"  Are you fucking kidding me?  Go away.  Sell.out.

People like John Mayer and Howie Day are what they are.  Acoustic based performers that sing decent songs.  At least they aren't getting you drunk off my hump, my hump, my lovely lady lump...check it out.

Gwen can Holla Back herself right back into nothing as well.  God her solo stuff SUCKS.  No Doubt was such a good band.  Thanks for ruining that, Gwen.  Go away.
Rack 'em ! Encellent synopsis.

I'm with you most of the way, Maine, but I like the new Greenday stuff.  I don't agree with their politics, like this little vignette from "Holiday":

"Sig heil to the president gas man / bombs away is your punishment / pulverize the Eiffel towers / who criticize your government / bang bang goes the broken glass man / kill all the fags that don't agree"

Their music is really quite good, though, so I put up with their "I never graduated high school" world view.

I hate all the Greenday imitators, can't stand the rap/rock phenomenon (pick a genre dammit!), still dig Metallica, whom I think have earned the right to experiment a bit.

I don't mind a few of their songs, but I wouldn't buy their albums, either.

I've always felt that Green Day and Offspring were watered down bubble gum versions of old school punk bands like Social Distortion and Bad Religion.

Interesting you bring up offspring - Their old stuff like Smash used to be good.  Even their Ixnay on the HOmbre album was OK.  But, since Americana, they've gotten soft and pop-ish, I think.  Some people might call it progression, others might say they sold out, but I thought they were much more unique back in the 90's with stuff like Self-Esteem, and even Ignition before that.  But its tough to like them any more when all their songs all sound the same now.

99% of the rap artists out today totally suck...and 99.5% of all the country artists. Other than that, I like most of the music out there right now.  ;D

I can agree on Mars Volta...I thought they sucked live in concert just as much as they do on their CDs.

I agree with Dave - Nickelback, Incubus, Stained, and all these "pussy" bands suck.

I also hate this "scream loud into the mic" rock crap that I keep hearing.  I don't know the names of any of these bands, but just turn to the regular rock channel to find out what I'm talking about.  Like "powerman 5000" or whatever - total shit fests with no talent.

Nine Inch Nails sucks.  Any hack can go on their computer, download a software program called Sound Forge, and make some shit up.  These assholes have gotten away with it.  Their new song "The hand that feeds" is quite possibly the worst song in music history.  It's corny, cheesy, and "regular" in a way, and the lead singer sounds like an idiot with that synthesized voice crap.

Another band that 100% sucks is Rob Zombie.  Rob Zombie is a 3-day Halloween music special.  The rest of the 362 days of the year, he's utterly useless.  His songs OVER AND OVER AND OVER again are about the exact same thing - vampires, blood, ghouls, and everything that's only "in" from the day before Halloween, to Halloween day, and that's it.

I love NIN and Rob Zombie...though I do agree that "The Hand that Feeds" is definitely one of NIN's worst singles.

Pretty Hate Machine is still in the top-25 all time on my rock albums list...

Here is a list of the top 50 from our biggest local rock station.
http://www.buzz103.com/modules.php?name=Buzz_Playlist

Out of 50 songs / bands I could only list the 8 below that I find to be on any quality. That is pretty sad:

King Without A Crown    Matisyahu
Bullet With A Name   nonpoint
Falling  Staind
Hypnotize  System Of A Down
Dare  Gorillaz
Out Of Exile   Audioslave
Upside Down   Jack Johnson
Twisted Transistor    Korn

However, below is a link to the biggest rock station in Columbus, Ohio where I grew up. You'll notice the top 10 is very different.

http://www.wbzx.com/charts.asp

Notice Nameless by Slipknot at No. 10, which wasn't even in the top 50 on the buzz. That song freaken rocks.

I just think puss rock is very prevalent down here in South Florida. There isn't much of a market for rock really. It's all rap, spanish music and of course oldies.

Amen, brother Beavis.  If not for my i-pod, I'd go insane.

Great thread guys.  I agree with you.  I don't even know the names of most of the bands, but they all scream into the mike, and all sound the same.  I call it ass clown music.  

They all suck !!  

And you ever notice how a lot of them have the same type of name.  Some word and then a number:
Blink 182
Matchbox 20
L7
Maroon 5
I'm sure there are about 10 others.  These guys are so lame they can't even think of an original name anymore.
