Re: Popular Rock & Alternative Bands You Never Liked

2002-2012: ALL OF THEM.

Even The Strokes. After the 5th single it was all over. But especially the so-called British Indie lot. Some disgusting shit from those.

Franz Ferdinand did one cute Wire impersonation in 2003/2004 but nothing after that.

People like Klaxons truly gave the word "overrated" a new meaning. They're now in the Marriam-Webster.

The Classic British Rock revival of Coldplay and Keane. The pox and HIV of Brit music. Disgusting.

Two words: The Darkness.

And the kitchen sink: Kaiser Chiefs.

America on the other hand, apart for some half decent new folk and a few nearly acceptable imitations of Brian Wilson, contributed 0 to the history of contemporary rock music, or even ABSOLUTE 0 considering all the auto-tuned pop, fake clown rapper shit, reality tv shows winners and runner-up. And now even their own brand of fake clown EDM. The US are currently an almost culture-free country, a wasteland. Goebbels would be proud.

A TRULY BAD one: Katy Perry.Gorgeous girl apart, the most insulting pre-cooked, auto-tuned by Satan, loud (11), brickwalled. overproduced and over-written by 16 ghost slaves guano ever released.

2 girls 1 cup is classier than those^.

I forgot one: not rock ok but incredibly relevant in the 00s. Simon Cowell. He was able to convince two continents that anyone cool, rich, decent, well-groomed, scabs-free can only listen to Five or the contestants from his formats. Five=normal, rock=forever alone. The fact that he's a millionaire doesn't make it right. Berlusconi is a millionaire. Hitler made millions: by selling MEIN KAMPF!

Re: Popular Rock & Alternative Bands You Never Liked

Genesis. Coldplay. Slipknot, well pretty much anything too screamy. This pop rock revival I am not too favourable of.

#1651346Post 12 of 37

Re: Popular Rock & Alternative Bands You Never Liked

Yah I agree with most all of those bands, especially Coldplay and the indie Brit rock bands. In the US the truly unique and talented bands end up being offered exorbitant amounts of money and ccommercial deals to the point where they end up doing what worked the first time and lose their originality after 100 bands then quickly follow suit.

Adding to my list:

Muse Smashmouth*** Sigur Ros

Thought they were ok... but that's just me.

Re: Popular Rock & Alternative Bands You Never Liked

And P.S: Fuck there are so many bands these days. Everyone's in a band. Is this due to the release of Rock Band/Guitar Hero?

every band in the latest new-british-vintage-rock wave (the strokes, jet, and all those bands that want to be like The Who or Zeppelin), beastie boys, Megadeth, sex pistols, Deep Purple.

What's going on with coldplay ?? they have very good songs. I like.

#1655321Post 18 of 37

Re: Popular Rock & Alternative Bands You Never Liked

Coldplay does have a few good songs, imo.. I'm just rarely in the mood for them. But fair play to anyone who's a fan, my sister is a big fan. I saw them live at Coachella and they were pretty good, just not my personal cup of tea :lol:.

Never understood the appeal of Dave Matthews.

Re: Popular Rock & Alternative Bands You Never Liked

I love DMB, specially their live recordings. Excellent performances and they are great musicians.

#1655386Post 22 of 37

Re: Popular Rock & Alternative Bands You Never Liked

I used to hate on DMB until I saw them live. They are fantastic musicians and write songs that make you feel happy.

Never really liked The Beatles.

#1655419Post 23 of 37

Re: Popular Rock & Alternative Bands You Never Liked

I'm willing to be converted if I saw DMB live. And I will say they do seem like musicians that are skilled. Again, their style just isn't my first or second choice.

#1655425Post 24 of 37

Re: Popular Rock & Alternative Bands You Never Liked

DMB are great musicians no doubt. Just dull as fuck.

Look they were pretty amazing live. We were really shocked more thananything at their concert for a good show they put on. Some songs are ok but I think it's just the fact that Chris Martin just makes the band so.. so...

[QUOTE=res0nat0r;1068083]Never really liked The Beatles.[/QUOTE]

+1/2. Really respect Lennon/Harrison as individuals and musicians. But as The Beatles as a pop product; not a huge fan of. No wonder why music is pretty average these days if everyone was influenced by The Beatles.

One more to the list would be America. Cannot hack that band,

This. I also think they are not "that" big. It´s the main example for: it´s better to have a great marketing than a great product.
