wirthling October 12, 2003 10:49 PM	I'm fairly sure it's a relatively random list meant to make some sort of point or just to get attention.

choadwarrior October 12, 2003 10:52 PM	Lists like these are meant to be provocative. While there are a few bands on there that I either like now, or liked when they were popular in the 80's, I didn't really care that they were on this list until I saw Oingo Boingo there--I love them!

kramer_vs_kramer October 13, 2003 7:15 AM	It's basically taking swipes at obvious, easy targets. Is there an article to go with the list?

areallystupidguy October 13, 2003 10:29 AM	i actually didnt buy the magazine, but rather read the list on the net. alll i could find was this: http://www.blender.com/articles/article_466.html but that only shows the first 10 or something. ill keep searching.

mmyers October 13, 2003 11:19 AM	I am saddened to see Toad the wet Sprocket on there, but not as much as I am about someone taking a swipe at Kansas. In their time, they ruled, now they're just fodder for the hipsters. As an aside, Whitesnake and Bad English was my first concert.

boorite October 13, 2003 11:45 AM	Saw the Goo Goo Dolls live opening for Horton Heat. The Goo Goo Dolls were unintelligible. No groove. No songs. No... anything really. Just a wall of undifferentiated white noise. Heat blew them to smithereens.

boorite October 13, 2003 1:25 PM	Oh... and the Gipsy Kings do not belong on that list.

Inflatable_Man October 13, 2003 1:38 PM	Live, Paul Oakenfold and definitely the Doors do not belong on that list.

kaufman October 13, 2003 1:56 PM	Celine Dion does not belong below 25 names on this list.

:-(

1993/4's "Sailing the Seas of Cheese" was a slice of zeitgeist for young Jes. Gragh! Ignore their later stuff.

Paul Oakenfold's stuff with Perfecto Fluro was quite good, for commercial trance. Then he sold out even more.

I could name you a dozen bands who suck more than the naked vacuum of space who should be up there at the top of that list. But sure, we could debate this for ever.

mmyers October 13, 2003 5:54 PM	I too must admit some Primus love, mainly just because their drummer Brain is freaking wonderful. His beats are wild yet tight and I love him for it...yet I love umfum too. Come on, guys, don't make me choose.

I liked the Hooters, but then again, I like that sort of crap. Aside from being Cyndi Lauper's backup band, they could tear your head off from the 30th row in concert. God save well crafted, hooky pop.

And the Doors don't belong on that list, simply because they wrote some brilliant shit. Despite Jim Morrison being a self-absorbed drunken twat.

Now, down to business:

The Forgotten Crap BandsÂ®

KISS - Oh, Mother Mary, these guys blow. I saw their first tour when the New York Dolls opened, and you know?.... They never got any better.

MÃ¶tley CrÃ¼e - Blow, blow, blow. Especially live. Walls of suck for days.

Blue Ã–yster Cult - Aside from some great stuff like "Astonomy" and the solo on "Don't Fear The Reaper", PU. Umlaut bands... ick.

Television - Much like their namesake, a lot of baloney in a slick covering.

The Motors - Utter shit '80s synth stuff that's as difficult to listen to as Jim Carrey is to watch.

Steve Miller - The most utterly aseptic, formulaic twaddle ever put to disc. Find this man a job.

ELO - "Mister Lynne? This is a recording console. Sit behind it and never, ever open your mouth again."

Exodus - Shove your 120 dB evilness up your skinny ass.

Elvis Presley - Yeah... I know.. but every time I listen to this guy's stuff, it just gets worse.

Wilco - Roger. Over and out.

Neil Diamond - How in the HELL did he escape this list?

You're lucky this is already in the fight thread or I'd be forced to say "Bunner, get your fat butt in here."

ELO is not a great band? I give you "Telephone line" "Strange Magic" "Living thing" "Don't bring me down". I'll be the first to admit that for every good song, there's two cheesy ones, but man, bands today would beg for that kind of average. Damn, dude, no! Say it isn't so. Even his solo stuff has redeeming stuff to it. And what about the Traveling Wilburys? No bunner, I say thee nay.

And Wilco? Here's band that has pushed itself to evolve, cast off it's alt-country shackles and developed a new sound for themselves. Even if you're not fond of the new sound (what I'd call mixing traditional melodies in untraditional ways) you've got to respect it. Sure, everyone fawns over them and that can get a tad much, but they've got an album for everything. You want alt-country, check AM. You want pop, Being There. Brooding rock, Summer Teeth. Experimental? Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. As the Romantics sang, You've got to give these guys another chance. Do it for the kids, bunner.

And I give you those exact songs as proof. quote: Wilco? Ok. Summerteeth was pretty good, but.... They are mostly a pretty bland, litcrit's darling band and.... they just don't meet the hype for me.

boorite October 21, 2003 11:40 AM	I have not been able to fathom bunner's hatred for Jeff Lynne. Some shit about marshmallows. I'm sure he can explain it better than I can.
Post #105980	link

mmyers October 21, 2003 12:19 PM	I'm hypnotized by Jeff Lynne's "whitey fro". Allright, bunner, I can see that I'm not going to change your opinions on these bands. As ELO said, I'm taking a dive.
