Popular albums that you don't like?

hi
i was just explaining why 'my generation' likes Malakian, the same reason 'your generation' likes Lennon. they are both great guitarrists, sure they come from opposite ends of the world but they play music that people liked.

i never said Malakian was better than Lennon or vice versa, if you wanna start a thread on the be my guest, i was merely using an example.

and if we could stop using the word 'hate' the world would be a better place, why dont we start on these boards.

For myself, I've often wondered how music can elicit such negative and heated emotions in those who do not care for a particular artist or style.. Even I have been a victim of it. Country music does have the power to irritate me beyond what is reational. After all, it is just music.

At the TalkBass boards, Creed, Fieldy, Limp Bizkit, Korn, newer Metallica and other bands and songs have drawn extensive fire from their critics. I like Creed, but don't mention it often because the band certainly does have a vocal group of haters who don't hesitate to throw every written barb at the band. Yet even Creed doesn't attract the venom "boy bands" like N'Sync and Back Street Boys draw.

Discussion of controversial music does often get quite emotional, but I do suspect that is more often true of younger members. By the time one reaches the late fifties as I have, one has more perspective on the importance of investing energy in detesting a genre or artist (except for country, of course. :D )

When I've been involved in arguments over whether a certain band is worthy or not, I often feel that some fans have almost a blind loyalty to some bands which prevents them from appreciating music or bands that do not follow their preferred band. It is similar to the blind loyalty some fans have for their favorite sports team or NASCAR driver or even for their religion. Their zeal is almost fanatic. Such fans can and do feel hatred for the perceived enemy or rival music or bands.

i agree with all of the above except system. how can you diss them when they are using cultural beats and scales/modes to create a 'new' sound, they sound nothing like the other fudge packing bands you mentioned. they are bringing something new and exciting to music, if you dont like it, fine, just dont diss them.

System is WAAAAAAYY overrated....and its not that "new" of a sound :rolleyes:
although, given their competition theyre not THAT bad...;)

DanNowhere, ratm, soad and bands like that are the new rush or beatles. Darron Malakian is my generations ( bad limp bizkit pun there, not intentional ) John Lennon. think about it......'

Please tell me you know My Generation is a Who homage.....
Limp Bizkit and Rage are not anything like rush or the beatles. the soad guy is NOT our generations john lennon....at best hes a mediocre guitar player who can write catchy tunes....hmm...wait, nevermind then :D

seriously though, no nu-metal bands will have the social impact the beatles had....

also, mtv and its control over young ignorant minds, no nothing like that. you only think that, mtv only brings the music out so more people are offered the chance to like it, if i could hear every band before they became famous id probably still like alot of them, when they did hit mtv and stuff id be able to say ' yeah they been around for ages, you should listen to or try this band aswell' and stuff like that. mtv's like a gateway to music, not all good music i agree but it just presents the music to you instead of you having to search for it.

that is true, if youre a rapper or a pop singer maybe! theres no way in hell you can consider mtv a gateway to the rock scene...maybe in the 80s yes, but not now.


just my opinions...

Cripes, I bought that Weather Report "Heavy Weather" album, because it was supposed to be one of the best bass albums ever made. Boy, is it awful. Elevator music, that's what it sounds like! I don't care how man freakin' 16th-note grooves Jaco can play, it sounds cheeeeeeeeesey. When I think of all the wankery that band inspired, it makes me sick to my stomach. "But," you say, "you have to respect Jaco's talent on the instrument!" No, I don't. It's awful, awful music, and he's a big contributing factor to its suckage.

Frankencow-

The reason Minor Threat and The Ramones are so popular is that they were the basis for most of the punk music you listen to. I think I can say without hyperbole that half the punk bands working today would not exist if those two bands did not put out records. That's how important they were.
