College radio is good as long as they're playing music. When they open their mouths it goes downhill from there.

There's one, maybe two radio stations I can stomach in my area out of probably sixteen or seventeen. The ones that elect to showcase one genre broadcast overplayed garbage and the "diverse" stations are exactly what you called them. And then there's the DJs, who act like complete asswipes. |
Completely agreed on Sharon Osbourne. In fact, she'd probably be a little closer to the top 10 for me.
The classic rock radio station back in Whangarei was once better, but nowadays it's completely dull. They have one stale formula they seem to stick to: Play one of the four songs Pink Floyd ever wrote, an AC/DC song, Black Betty, a DP song from In Rock, Def Leppard, some crappy pop metal songs and a NZ rock song (by Split Enz, Crowded House, Th'Dudes, Dragon etc). Their idea of experimentation is to play Smells Like Teen Spirit or Plush and maybe even a Foo Fighters song to appeal to younger people. Sickeningly formulaic... and to think that's probably the best radio station there. |
All the local radio stations here in Houston are shit. All they play is the same 20 songs all day long, except the classic rock station, which is the only half-way decent one we have.
I don't even listen to the radio anymore. :( |
Our rock radio station plays really sh!tty new rock like Theory Of A Deadman, Nickelback, Hinder, and Three Days Grace. What aggrivates me more is that one of their slogans is "the best classic rock, and new rock that doesn't suck!". I think they need to seriously work on the latter. It's all that same constipated-vocals-fused-with-acoustic-guitar-verses-and-heavier-choruses-and-lyrical-content-dealing-with-sex-and-how-some-slut-left-you-mixed-in-with-some-mild-curse-words. They play all right classic rock, though, and a lot of good local/Canadian rock. Unfortunately, the only punk they play is The Sex Pistols, The Clash, and The Ramones, and that's very rare. Thank god for MP3 players.

One of the worst cliches is when radio stations try to profess that they are unique or offering something different from other stations. "We're the only rock station in Jackson that plays only the best of classic rock and the very best of todays rock" *Staind song* |
Oh, come on. You hate grunge and alternative for its pompous overproduction (which is perfectly acceptable). But you dislike a genuine alternative band for being what they intended: a simple, garage rock act? Primus wasn't about being exciting - live or otherwise. But they had decent songwriting. Not to mention one of the greatest bassists ever.
It is your thread, but if you want to make an attack on a widely respected band, I suggest you offer something more concrete. =/ |
I don't see how grunge was overproduced. Just well produced.
And I don't understand why that is such a f*cking bad thing. I like music, therefore I'd like it to be audible, why can't it be that simple? |
Oooo, my first disagreement!
It's no massive secret that a large amount of my love for Primus is based mainly on only a few songs, but hell those songs chug along in a deceptively heavy way, are very infectious and are pretty damn fun. Jerry Was a Racecar Driver, that's how you write a song ladies and gentleman. Quote:

Basically, if it's good music i'll like it despite how it comes across, i like my Songs About Fucking just as i like my Dark Side Of The Moons. |
i used to feel the EXACT same way about primus until about a year ago and it just hit me. . . it's ****ing great!
and the last thing i find their music to be is boring. . . (annoying i can see, kind of) |

The Offspring's 90's stuff kicks ass, though. |

You guys think your local radio sucks? If I hear 'Wicked Game' I swear I'll kill myself or Chris Isaac. But that's why I got XM, satellite radio bitches get it. |

Pop-punk isn't inherently bad. It's just that Green Day and their spawn (Blink 182, Good Charlotte, etc) are much much worse. |
Quote:
I also like Against Me!, no matter how many people here hate them, but I'm not sure how "pop" they are... |

Also, on a separate note, I don't really consider Green Day punk. In fact, they're almost the antithesis of punk. Punk, in my opinion, is about angst (not necessarily anger) and energy. Green Day wasn't at all angsty, they were about middle class, suburban ennui. In my opinion, Green Day kicked off the "adult alternative" movement...bands like the Gin Blossoms, Del Amitri, Toad The Wet Sprocket, etc. Blink 182, Yellow Card and Good Charlotte fit right into that, even though they're called "pop-punk." But I recognize that everyone has a different idea of what "punk" is...the most fruitless arguments tend to be arguing over a definition of it. |
I would'nt call Del Amitri Alternative at all. Just middle of the road dad rock personally.

I will agree. Primus are pretty terrible.

I also enjoy skate-inspired pop-punk such as Lagwagon and Millencolin. I agree with lucifer_sam. Green Day and The Offspring used to be awesome. |

^ As soon as Jackhammer fixes his post I'll talk about my favorite Primus song.

I can play your video in the post, so i'm not sure what song it is.
Is it just my PC that can't play it, it's just solid white. |
