Well yeah, the music is of course very very important, just as importatn as the lyrics, but i find that i tend to not like the song if it has really bad lyrics.
unless of course the music is so incredably good that it doesnt matter

The Foo Fighters quit trying after One by One (and I'm by no means trying to say the albums before that were great.) Maybe it was just Grohl realizing he didn't have to try or maybe he lost his steam but that album showed the beginning of one of the most mediocre and boring rock bands to have gotten hype in the past decade.

They're not impressive, creative, or great. They're poppy and polished even when they're trying to be a 60s pop-rock group or Lynyrd Skynyrd. Every thing they've is essentially this: a standard rock album with 2 or 3 obvious singles, they've been doing the same old shit for a long time. This is what happens when a band realizes they can make money making boring music. They refuse to evolve or experiment and I didn't think anyone would even kid themselves that this bands mainstream intentions weren't obvious with every album they release. They're a radio rock band that makes songs for the radio, that's all the Foo Fighers are. Greatness? christ.

As for the lyrics, Grohl plays the Linkin Park game to much. He uses a bunch nondescript nouns to create some of the most boring lines ever. It strikes me as lazy and inarticulate, but intelligent lyrics go perfect with uninspired music, so power to him.

What is everyone's problem with bands wanting to make money? are they supposed to living on the streets all of their lives with their kids being bums just so they can experiment and create fabulous music for you to enjoy and download?

Theres nothing wrong with making money, but in the FF's case it's blatantly obvious they're barely trying.

Hell, Dave Grohl has got the talent but they're just dwelling around playing out the more vibrant, less serious, not-quite-as-crap-as-Nickelback card though essentially doing the same thing by releasing the same sounding song on the radio for the last 5 years.

The Foo Fighters really bug me, Dave Grohl especially. Mind you, bigger bands have gone pear shaped.

Making music to earn money is a crime against humanity. Money should, in no way, decide how your music should be. I mean I am all for good artists getting paid for their work, but when they throw originality out the window then that is when I have a problem.

I liked them.

They can make money out of their music. The objection is to making music for the SAKE of making money. Which is just what these twerps are doings.
