WTF why is Slayer on that list?

Oh hey Ethan, I figured out why Bon Iver is better than Elliot Smith. Smith is boring, kind of like Nick Drake. Iver have a bit more energy. This is just my opinion, so dont destroy me. Not saying any of them are worse than others, Iver just fits my musical likings a bit more.

Nirvana i like them but they are overrated.
Led Zepplin
Blink 182
Jonas Brothers
Beatles

lucifer_sam 05-04-2009 11:31 AM

who actually rates Jonas Brothers that highly? prepubescent girls?

i don't understand the connexion between 'overrated' and 'teeny bopper boy band'.

Oh hell yes on Nirvana, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles. I don't like Blink 182 or the Jonas brothers at all either but I'm not sure overrated is the word I'd use to describe them since neither seems to get much in the way of respect. They're both still pretty crappy though.

:offtopic:

Since when have anyone (who matters) actually liked Nickleback? Sure they are still at the top of the charts, but surely thats thanks to some voodoo magic or something right?

Never mind...

Nickelback are cool if you are a preteen... but look for some substance and all you'll probably get is some lyric trivializing substance abuse... lets face it, we all went through that stage of lyrical prowess in the late eighties...

The end.

Yeah the problem with your snide summary is you're treating it like popularity is subjective; it isn't. You can say Britney Spears is obscure and Karl Blau is incredibly popular and then back it up by saying "it's just my opinion" but you're objectively wrong.

We aren't talking about popularity though, we're talking about how "well regarded" someone is, which is much more vague than simple popularity and as a result is pretty much entirely subjective.

I wasn't intending to be snide by the way, I was just making a joke about the fact that you won't even agree to disagree on this subject.
