Don't forgot Jerry Lee Lewis and his 13 year old cousin.

Woody Allen had a similar affair I think too.

Couldn't agree with you more about AC/DC and Bob Marley. While I do like some songs, I don't understand people citing them as these great artists, I don't really get why they are praised as "one of the best".

I was shocked to see a Led Zeppelin article that talked about that topic. It was pretty disappointing, since I have been a fan of them since such a young age. The fact they don't even credit the artists kind of disgusts me.

Tend to agree about muse, that kid does have a bit of an annoying voice. i like the pistols though.

Nosferatu Man

I think a lot of bands in that era were playing heavily blues influenced music and not crediting artists. I am not condoning just I don't think the same legal systems were as developed as they are now etc.

Thom Yorke

I wouldn't say there's any band I hate inexplicably; there's always a reason. There are a couple bands like The Rolling Stones and Nirvana that I somewhat like but don't care too much for that I guess you could say is inexplicable though.

I like The Pistols as well, but think they get entirely to much credit. Plenty of other bands from that time and scene who seemed to be ignored who were doing great things. UK Subs, Anti-Nowhere League, The Vibrators and on and on. They were basically no more than a punk boy band assembled by Malcolm McLaren. Sid to me was just the poster boy for f*cked up youth who served no purpose other than to just be a bloodied face. Couldn't play, couldn't do anything.. Just added to the band to give them more danger. Do I think they are an awful band though, not at all. Just not one of the better ones.

I know many people also like Pink Floyd, but they do not do much for me either... Though I enjoy the pre-Darkside era, and especially "Piper....". I find "Darkside..." to be just average and "The Wall" to be one of the most over hyped albums ever. I think the songs work well in the context of the movie, with the visual accompaniments.. but as a stand alone album, to much filler and gets dull to me in a hurry.

Explanation:

The Who. Started as a decent Mod band with great hooks and a balls out attitude but then decided to make thematic Prog albums that were over indulgent unfocused pieces with the odd glimpse of a band that were dying to get to back to basics if it weren't for an ego on guitar. Who Are You and You Better You Bet are just 2 examples of a mediocre band making music that is akin to pub rock. Such a shame from a band that gave us My Generation, 5:15 and I Am The Sea.

Deep Purple. A genuinely talented band that rode the scene like some dock ridden whore. Whatever is is en vogue the purps followed. We shall start off as a bad psychedelic rock band, branch into Heavy Metal (even though 4 out of the five members in their strongest line up hated the genre) and then just end up splintering, playing what we can to survive whilst not having any identity other than Gillan and Blackmore.

Speed King is a phenomenal track and showed how intense they could be but then Mr Gillan started warbling on Child Of Time. No wonder Heavy music got a bad rep. Oddly enough Gillan (the band) made some great albums with many influences and melded them together. They were a band that were at complete odds with each other and just don't do anything for me.

Led Zeppelin: when the Zep kicked arse, they really kicked arse. Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You, Dazed & Confused, Communication Breakdown, Trampled Underfoot, The Battle Of Evermore, No Quarter are brilliant tracks but they never made one single fulfilling album for me.

I cannot describe adequately why they just don't do it for me but I can say that their greatest tracks far surpass their their albums as a whole and anyone who tells me that Rock N Roll is a great track is deaf quite frankly.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

CHCl3

AC/DC - Whenever I hear them I think of trailers for ****ty family comedies while I was growing up. The vocals are also complete ****.

Insane Clown Posse - I've hated them even before Miracles (that song just intensified it over 9000). The combination of stupid gimmicks and rabid cult like fans turns me off instantly.

Brokencyde - This needs no explanation
