PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2004 The only two bands I consider to have done no wrong, or the least amount of wrong imaginable are The Smiths and Sparks. Tom Waits comes close but you could argue the point about repetition of lyrics and culling lyrics from elsewhere. But he's had an extremely consistent career. I'm not too keen on the categorisation of 'greatly exceeds hype' cos the bands I would rank after those I've mentioned rarely have any hype, they're just good.

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2004 Laz, how can you say that Eminem exceeds hype? I'm not knocking his music (although I do think that he sucks) but with the amount of smoke that's blown up his ass, it's physically impossible that he'd exceed the hype. Just my $.02.

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2004 Eminem also gets rather excessive negative hype, so it balances out.

And shame on you, agent, Mr. Bungle over Primus? I know which one I'd rather listen to a whole album of. It's a tough call, really, but I've been on a major Bungle kick lately, and Patton is a thousand times the vocalist Les is, and they're way more diverse. At this juncture, I'll say Bungle, but mainly because they're fresh in my mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiny norman 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2004 Not only did he put Frank Sinatra as Exceeds Hype, The Beatles are pure crap apparentally. No wonder he got banned. BTW, this message goes to all those who put The Beatles as anything other than perfect. Perfection: The Beatles Bob Dylan Bruce Springsteen Greatly Exceeds Hype: Metallica Nirvana Exceeds Hype: Michael Jackson The Eagles and any of those 70s easy listening rock bands who sound the same Blink182 and any of those 90s punk rock bands who sound the same Stevie Wonder Black Sabbath Rolling Stones from 1972 onwards. Acceptable: Madonna Prince David Bowie Elton John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2004 Whilst his opinion of the Beatles is legendary in its awfulness, I think Sinatra is too high on his list. Nothing special. I would agree with you Agent that the one criticism you could make against Primus would be one of diversity, but then the one criticism you could make of Bungle would be one of focus. Course, I'm all for fucking shit up, as they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
