Nickleback (punk, genre, albums, quote, song)

That song's alright. Definetely Maybe and Morning Glory were probably the only decent albums they released.

He basically has the worst taste in music on the planet.

I wouldn't say he has the worst musical taste but It is pretty ****. Dont worry he'll discover real music when he 'grows up'.

I used to be into Oasis a lot when I was younger but since I discovered Neil Young and the likes I left them behind ages ago. The thing about Oasis is that they have no creativity/diversity to their music and they basically bore the arse of me with every duplicate album they come out with. I really dont understand why they still get so much regonition as to me they are nothing special at all vocal wise or music wise just really quite bland. Also this talk of Noel Gallagher supposedly being a 'genius''?? I mean his lyrics dont even make sense + he can hardly play, his best solo is 'Live Forever' which even my gran could probably play. Also I hate how the slag everyone off obviously just to get publicity and press because their music is too **** & the reasons they come out with when they slag people off are totally offtopic such as 'hes a knob' or 'he looks like this...'.
I recentley saw an interview where he had slagged off Bloc Party(whom I aint too keen on either) and called them a 'band of university challenge' & 'indie ****' or something which is pretty much irrelevant & more based on his personal opinion (IMO).
“I think Oasis are the most overrated and pernicious band of all time. They had a totally negative and dangerous impact upon the state of modern music.
“They have made stupidity hip. They claim to be inspired by The Beatles but, and this so saddens me, they have failed to grasp that The Beatles were about constant change and evolution. Oasis are repetitive Luddites.” - Kele Okereke (Bloc Party).
Asked about the University Challenge remark, Okereke continued to Uncut Magazine: "Well, It’s quite funny. It probably would have been a lot more funny had he not used exactly the same words to describe Travis a couple of years ago.
"Having said that, it’s probably a very sad indication of the state of his mind. Why is it bad to better yourself? It’s all about the weird way in which this country chooses to view the working classes.
"It is really daft to reinforce the idea that there is something cool about being dumb. The idea that your ambitions shouldn’t extend beyond getting pissed and watching the football really irks me.
"It’s this idea that to be authentically working class you need to be untainted by the airy-fairy ephemera of education. And it seems to be pretty unique to this country." I couldnt agree more.

especially these parts "They had a totally negative and dangerous impact upon the state of modern music" & "They have made stupidity hip"

As for your comparison you are comparing two totally different bands (Mudhoney & Oasis) from two totally different genres, both songs from two totally different decades/periods in music. I havent heard the 'Touch Me I'm Sick' song but I think your 'comparison' is uncomparable (IMO).

Also dont get me wrong I will admit Oasis was the reason i picked up a guitar in the first place & Britpop was the first kinda music I really got into.
I still like a lot of bands from that period and would rate Cast in particular as a long forgotten gem of the 90s. I loved everthing they did even the 'Beetroot' album sheerly because of the experimentation involved. Also Kula Shaker are a great/forgotten band. Pulp are very good and Jarvis ****er is a very clever/witty lyricist.
Anyway as usual if you agree/disagree with anything I have posted here.....

Hey now don't get me wrong, I'm am NOT a big Oasis fan. But I do think they succeeded in making defeating both the American and UK grunge scene at the time.. no matter how irrelevent and minor that victory really was.

I made the comparison half-way serious as I view both bands at about the same level:

Mudhoney = One of the first Grunge bands. Good, not great.
Oasis = One of the first Britpop bands. Good, not great.

And this is the song by the way:

I suppose they did in terms of popularity but in terms of musical ability, lyrical abilities they have next to none compared to the grunge bands. Also Noel Gallagher is the most overrated 'guitarist' of all time. Just a happy-go lucky strummer.
Also that doesnt sound like 'Grunge' music to me, not a bad song though.

In your opinion Grunge is rubbish but that is only down to your personal taste- I could say the same it doesnt sound like grunge because it isnt 'great'. What a mindless comment to make.

It doesnt sound like grunge because It is from 1988 and grunge had hardly started yet, It sounds a bit punk-ish to me but not like obvious grunge music.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 04-25-2009, 05:42 PM

it's from 1988

And I don't hate grunge , just most of it.
