As far as I'm concerned, they don't even count as a band. The moment they "split up" their existence will be wiped from the collective consciousness. They're not just disposable; they're already half-disposed.

I'm no fan of disturbed, but I'd hesitate to judge a band on a festival performance.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Stained definately sucks. The couple of Disturbed songs I've heard aren't bad.

Leif Garret sucked.

The Final Countdown, along with Don Johnson's Heartbeat, is the worst song ever.

I'm convinced that if you play those two songs together, you will bring about the end of existence.

Some thoughts......

I'm a female, and I really like Rush. But I understand what Lucimay means about the vocals.....take Camel for instance. I've really tried to like this band. Great lyrics, terrific musicianship, can't get past the dude's voice. (Sorry, don't know his name.) I like some BOC, too.

ZZ Top lost me with Eliminator.

U2 lost me after Achtung, Baby.

Brian Setzer's stuff post Stray Cats is great. He is one hell of a guitarist. Check out Malaguena if opportunity presents.

I never ever understood the attraction with the Stones. Sympathy for the Devil, great song! But other than that.....

ELO.....heard one, ya' heard 'em all.

I don't dislike Nirvana but compaing Kurt Cobain to John Lennon?!?!?
Courtney Love truly sucks.....look up "white trash" in the picture dictionary......

Some songs were good but suffer from over-exposure and that can be very regional. I got sooooo tired of hearing Lake Shore Drive when we lived outside of Chicago. (Of course, I never was enchanted with it to begin with!) Sometimes I think if I hear Sweet Home Alabama one more time I'll puke. Sunbaneglasses, how bout you? But then with a couple of exceptions, I was never a big Skynard fan anyway. Someone mentioned 38 Special being Allman Brothers wannabe's.....so was Skynard in my opinion.

Edit

Someone mentioned Rod Stewart. Every Picture Tells A Story was such a terrific album and still one of my favorites but it was all down hill from there. I read somewhere (Rolling Stone?) Do Ya' Think I'm Sexy was the first "death knell of classic rock"

duck : glad to see you here?
what do you think of the band Boston?

Lisa Marie Presley: I liked the one song about her father, after that she has been disappointing. and covering Dirty laundry was uninspired. maybe she needs to find a song writing partner?

It's hard for me to contribute to this thread as I've never heard of most of the people mentioned here (I listen primarily--read: 90%--electronic music). But there are two bands I can think of:

Eifel 65
The Crystal Method

Both make terrible and/or simplistic techno and both are oddly popular--seems most non-techno fans know of Eifel 65 and CM. If those poor lost souls had only heard van Buuren or Tiesto, they might have been saved...

Toby Keith : simplistic drinkin' songs and jingoistic anthems. not a good combo.

Peter, paul & Mary: simpering folk music sucks. angry folk music is good. and the song "I Dig Rock n Roll" needs to be buried in a landfill.

drew: i love music, i don't have the talent for singing or playing an instrument. i wrote songs and i can hear them in my head. but it doesn't translate. i believe it is a gift and for people to use it for such horrible music burns me up. and folk bands should be protesting something, not making sappy tripe like PP&M.

do you all realize how much NEGATIVE karma we're tallying up here with this thread??? 8O

ya'll KNOW that drew's intention with this thread was to disCUSS something. why doesn't everybody hop on back up to the drew's original post and figure out what he was trying to get at here? hmmmm?

Thanks.
Let's look at PP&M (sound like sandwich doesn't it?)
Did they have talent? or where they hacks?
I'm not a very good source for info on them, as I only know the song Puff the agic dragon. BUt if all those people who think that song is a metafore for somkin' up; then lyricaly, they're pretty good.
If not, then I'd guess they were just one step away from being children's entertainers.

The poem that formed the basis of the song "Puff, the Magic Dragon" was written in 1959 by Leonard Lipton, a nineteen-year-old Cornell student. Lipton was inspired by an Ogden Nash rhyme about a "Really-O Truly-O Dragon," and, using a dragon as the central figure, he came up with a poem about the end of childhood innocence. Lipton passed his work along to a friend, fellow Cornell student (and folk music enthusiast) Peter Yarrow, who put a melody to the words and wrote additional lyrics to create the song "Puff, the Magic Dragon." After Yarrow teamed up with Mary Travers and Paul Stookey in 1961 to form Peter, Paul & Mary, the trio performed the song in live shows; their 1962 recording of "Puff" reached #2 on the Billboard charts in early 1963.



and just because you don't like a musician's choic in material doesn't mean they "suck" as musicians.
PP&M DIDN'T suck. they were competant musicans.

they didn't do material that I could relate to so i didn't listen to them. i found their sound somewhat "canned" and their harmonies not very complex...melody, third and fifth, every single time on every song...arrangements also predictable. therefore, i didn't care for them.
but SOMEbody did or we wouldn't know who they are! right? if it works for kids then it works, right?
