Jack_Bauer 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2003 I don't see them as being great or anything it's just the fact that what they do, as bad or good or whatever it may be musically, just sounds good. I think the lyrics can be shawdy at times from these people but there is also a level of bounciness and catchiness from GC that I like. The whole Metallica thing is definately debateable, as people will always argue that Metallica arent overrated and shit like that. People always tell me how overrated Manic Street Preachers and Metallica are and I don't see how. Metallica are a very talented band and believe all the hype they get. Manic Street Preachers just rock full stop. MSP came into this because they are an example of a band that are called overrated. As for the Sum 41, what can I say, I'm a sucker for the blatant cheesiness that drips off of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2003 Like I said, I have no problem with people liking what they want. All that matters is whether you feel it or not. Hell, half the stuff I listen to to relax would be too hectic for most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2003 (edited) Even I have given some pop punk a try and some of them, if they play to their cheese factor and make it entertaining like Bowling for Soup or something like that, then I can get into them. Good Charlotte is like every annoying habit or attitude of today's youth all rolled into one. Now if it were supposed to be a parody of today's youth then maybe I'd understand, but sadly they seem to be serious. Sum 41 I used to hate because of the whole "anti-conformity" attitude that is so idiotic, but they really showed me something at the Metallica Icon concert and I atleast think they have some talent that could be harnessed if they ever grow up a little and move away from the dumb kid attitude.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2003 Manic Street Preachers just rock full stop. Is that the British way of saying "they rock, period."? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2003 Sum 41 are gonna become a damn good hardrock/metal band once they start losing the skater audience. They have a lot of playing ability, and they seem to have a genuine love of the music to. Hell, they could probably do metallica better than Metallica can..

Spicy McHaggis 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Some people just do not like easy listening British music. That actually brings me to a point, to the US actually put out these bands ? Ive heard of Dave Matthews and heard he's a kinda easy listening but I aint heard him myself. Please, for my mental health, don't put DMB anywhere near the same thought as Coldplay. I can see why Dave fans might like them, but Coldplay is absolutely inferior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiny norman 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 I like Robbie Williams loads. While yes, he's not Elvis in terms of voice or Lennon in terms of songwriting, I think compared to the rest of the current artists around he would be in my top dozen. At least what he's doing is different. And yes, he is a prick, but I still think he's musically good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Whilst I should be above hating people simply for their taste in music, I'm afraid that when somebody's justification for liking things is 'they rock' and nothing more, you wonder if humans shouldn't just give it all up to the insects right now.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted September 1, 2003 What's with the Sum 41 blowjobs? They write and play lousy annoying music, when they might actually be capable of doing something decent. I don't see them ever doing anything different, aside from maybe going the way of Green Day, playing trite ballads and songs trying to harken back to when their lives were fun and worthwhile.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 I'll just look at the last three concerts I've gone to and the one I'm going to Wednesday night to show me I'm a well rounded music fan: The Drifters at a small local fair last October SR-71 and the Exies at a dinky ass club last November (Could fit 350 people max) Paul Rodgers and Kansas(I swear I went to see Paul Rodgers) at a huge club(3000 people) this June ZZ Top and Ted Nugent at the local hocky arena. Not only a wide range of bands but a wide range of venues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
