Unpopular Music Opinions (lyrics, indie, jazz, metal, punk)

Well yeah, but I don't consider them nu metal.

I consider them funk metal, along with Primus, Mr. Bungle, Living Colour and early Incubus.

Nu metal is basically a watered down imitation of funk and groove metal.

Nah...

**boo boo** · 05-11-2008, 06:44 PM

Nah to what?

**cardboard adolescent** · 05-11-2008, 06:46 PM

calling mr. bungle funk metal is kind of the epitome of pigeonholing, isn't it?

ProggyMan · 05-11-2008, 06:47 PM

RATM being better than Happ With What You Have To Be Happy...

**cardboard adolescent** · 05-11-2008, 06:48 PM

i'd say both are ultimately dissapointing

This isn't a popularity contest, we all know how goddamned popular the Beatles were but's irrelevent.

I never mentioned popularity once. You are claiming they are better than the most influential band of the 20th century , i'm asking you to explain how this is so.

Come on now i've only asked you this 8 times now and you've still not answered this.

You have a point there. But they certainly have material that qualifies as such. Especially on their s/t.

Uh.......

They are.

Saying that one novelty song is better than RATMs whole discography is pretty harsh. And in this case incorrect.

I don't like RATM much, so not really.

I'm pretty sure the picture of the pillowfight ended this argument 13 pages ago. Any band having a pillowfight can clearly NOT be lame (and for the record, that's the "unemotional" lame).
