boredom! and people are also showing off their music taste. you know how the music you listen to gives you a certain lable in certain circles. that´s also the reason why there are so many "what´s your favorite music" threads on this board and probably in the off topic section of most other boards as well.

AT LAST! SOMEONE ELSE WHO HATES NIRVANA!!!

You are not alone, my friend.
I can't stand Nirvana, NIN or Smashing Pumpkins.

And let's not forget Courtney Love

From his list i have:
Oasis - What's the Story, Morning Glory?
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Now Dark Side of the Moon is a classic, although a classic best appreciated stoned.

I also have that Oasis album, but he has a point about the 'june-moon-spoon' rhyming.

I have Tragic Kingdom. There were a few good songs on there, and a couple that (IMHO) only a person who lives near a theme park can appreciate (like the title track).

Also have Dark Side of the Moon. Great album. Not quite as good as The Wall, but still good.

And I liked the Joshua Tree, Let It Be, Synchronicity, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, The Wallflowers, and the Grateful Dead. *shrug* I think he was just trying to piss people off.

We had a comedian here last year talking about the hardest to understand bands of all time. Nirvana was #1. After "Smells Like Teen Spirit," I don't think they'll ever lose that spot.

Besides, they sucked.

No, I think he's quite serious. I disagree with him a lot, but I admire him for going after overrated sacred cows like Pink Floyd and especially Nirvana.

Yay! Yet more people declare their distaste for Nirvana, although i must say one of the funniest songs i've heard was an Elvis impersenator singing Smells Like Teen Spirit.

I got three on that list. Nirvana, No Doubt and Madonna's.

I don't agree what he said about Madonna's Immaculate Collection. I thought all her good stuff were produced before the mid 90's.

No boy bands and teeny boppers on that list... I think the guy just hates rock groups and 80's music.

It's not one guy's opinion. It's the collected opinions of a bunch of people at that website.

Their criteria:

The entries on this list fall roughly into three categories:

Critically bullet-proof artifacts whose weighty presence on the shelf is complimented perfectly by their perpetual absence from the CD player. Critic-mandated vanity archives should be bundled up and spirited off to the used record store under the cover of night.

Albums by new artists that have only their newness and the marketing efforts of music conglomerates to recommend them. Almost invariably, these recordings pale in comparison to those of the artists they imitate. Alternately, new albums by established artists that are slavishly hailed as the big comeback get high points with us. Like nature hates a vacuum, Jaguaro despises the Next Big Thing.

Nostalgic favorites that maintain their place by tradition and neglect more than actual merit. These are the CDs people never get rid of because they may want to play them some time in the indefinite future (certainly not now).

Naming bands such as N'Suck and the Backdoor Boys would have been like shooting fish in a barrel with a M203.

AAAAAAAAAARGH!!! smite him!

honestly, how can you compare a mediocre second generation ska band like the specials to a punk band like rancid?

Rancid is actually several members of "Ska" band Operation Ivy, this asshole really doesn't have a clue as to what the fuck he's talking about. Rancid, and Op Ivy at least had an originalty and "edge" that most modern punk bands lack. This idiot has NO idea what the fuck he's talking about, he's just some punk with a short memory and an inflated sense of self importance....

Didn't the same guy cover Come as You Are ? That was good, I liked that!

Best ever piss take of Nirvana was Weird Al's Smells Like Nirvana.

Weird Al Yankovic wrote: What is this song all about?
Can't figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go?
I wish you'd tell me, I don't know

Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know

Now I'm mumblin and I'm screamin
But I don't know what I'm singin
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin
I still don't know what I'm singin
We're so loud and incoherent
Man this oughta bug your parents
Yeah

It's unintelligible
I just can't get it through my skull
It's hard to (mumble)
With all these marbles in my mouth

Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know

Well we don't sound like Madonna
Here we are now, we're Nirvana
Sing distinctly, we don't wanna
Buy our album, we're Nirvana
A garage band from Seattle
Well it sure beats raisin cattle
Yeah

And I forgot the next verse
Oh well, I guess it pays to rehearse
The lyric sheet's so hard to find
What are the words? oh nevermind

Don't know, don't know, don't know, oh no
Don't know, don't know, don't know

Well I'm yellin, and we're playin
But I don't know what I'm sayin
What's the message I'm conveyin?
Can you tell me what I'm sayin?
So have you got some idea?
Didn't think so, well I'll see you
Sayonara
Sayonara
Ayonawa
Odinawa
Yaddayadda
Yaaahyaaah
Ayaaaaah

I don't. As long he doesn't list Aqualung by Jethro Tull, Jaktens Tid by Finntroll, or for that matter, ANYTHING by Bal-Sagoth, I don't care the slightest!!

What's wrong with Dark Side of the Moon? I don't know much about popular music, but I think that one is pretty cool.

He seems to judge a lot of albums based on the fact they are too "popular" and overused by people he doesn't like. Well boo-fucking-hoo, that doesn't mean the music is necessarily bad. Just because a lot of unmusical nimrods like to sit through Carmen just to be seen at the opera and because it's considered en vogue doesn't diminish the quality of the opera, which is an absolute masterpiece.
