Every band I can think of that I like and have seen have had the vocals sound pretty much the same as on record. Rx Bandits' last album was actually mostly done live (but with great sound quality) so it sounded the same (and they are the most talented band ever, honest). Offspring were the same, Reel Big Fish are the same. MxPx are almost the same except Mike doesn't hold the notes so much

They may not be the worst bands/artists to grace the earth, but they sure as hell get under my skin.


1. Mannheim Steamroller: The only music that has ever made me physically sick. Projectile vomitting is the only emotion that could ever capture how Mannheim Steamroller makes me feel inside. The edition of copious amounts of eggnog never helped dull the pain either.

2. David Sanborn: Smooth Jazz makes baby Jesus cry. I wasted countless hours of my childhood listening to this hack at the mercy of my father's horrid taste in music.

3. The Rippingtons: I cannot stand their brand of inoffensive pop/jazz that every middle-aged halfwit with no musical taste of their own will try to dance to.

4. Jimmy Buffett: I admire his ability to corner the drunken pirate/aging fratboy/beachcomber market, but seriously... its just too cheesy for me.

5. System of a Down: "more like Syndrome of a Down, am i rite? OMFG LOLOCAUST!" Just a buncha no talent hacks.

6. Sarai: She was little more than a musical flash in the pan last summer, but nevertheless was hailed "Feminem" because she was a record producer's dream: a blonde haired, blue eyed white girl from NY who rapped. Well, at least tried to rap.

7. Good Charlotte: I don't think I need to justify this decision.

8. Nickelback: I would like to present into evidence, Exhibit A.

9. TATU: Cripes, man. Just f*cking cripes.

10. Anastacia: Okay, she can sing, but Christ, her songs are as lyrically complex as an 8th grade girl's diary! And I can't walk around town without hearing the local German schoolgirls quoting her like she's the 21st Century's answer to Shakespeare!



Wow. That was cathartic. I don't get to rant like that often.

"Exhibit A" is quite false. One of those songs was sped up slightly to make the joke/insult to the band work.

Yeah bands like that just change lyrics because their fans are to stupid to notice most of the time. And even if it is speed up it just means they played the same guitar part slower wooooow Im impressed.....Its like Slipknot a brain-dead zombie monkey with a used herion needle in its eye could play it, and still find a way to make it sound better

LMAO!!! I'd figure you wouldn't get this... but Shady Records has a DJ on their roster called DJ Green Lantern, who pretty much puts out all Shady/Aftermath/Interscope exclusives. Thanks to D12world's message board, I know all things in the hip-hop world your average joe wouldn't know (not that you're an average joe ). He is also a producer, he does beats and whatnot. So if you hear D12 mention Green Lantern, they're talking about the DJ.

Anyway, I might as well vent my anger on certain artists:

1. Insane Clown Posse - The worst gimmick to ever consider themselves "rappers". They could never be given the opportunity to share the same genre of music as Nas or Royce Da 5'9''. These guys are pathetic, they run around in clown make-up, claim they are from the Murder Capital of the USA (Detroit), and then go on radios claiming that they can beat up anyone they meet. They should've stuck with backyard wrestling. With the tiny audience they have from that, they probably still made more money off of that than making records.

2. Eminem - Before he released The Eminem Show and Encore, I would have given him the title of one of the greatest of all-time. His multi-syllable rhyme scheme, punchlines, and charismatic flow was but pieces that made him great. But then, he became the posterboy for pop rap. His latest effort, Encore, is a pure example of when talent turns to pure dogsh*t. Some good efforts with "Like Toy Soldiers", but nothing can help you out after putting out a song like "Big Weenie" or anything else. He's washed up, and should just hang up his cross-dressing outfits. "Just Lose It" was hip-hop's WORST single ever! I think the hip-hop community is giving Eminem to the pop world.

3. Linkin Park - Pretty much the whole mix rap with rock thing is annoying as hell. It doesn't work... NO!

4. Limp Bizkit - Same as Linkin Park. Leave rap and rock be, let them be seperate. Don't try to mix... only Run DMC and Aerosmith could do it.

5. Big Tymers - Ugh, if I have to hear about "bling" or how much your cars are worth one more time, I'm turning towards another genre of music. Goodness, I can't STAND commercial rap!

6. Good Charlotte - I don't know if it's just me, but is sensitive losers forming into a band popular? I mean, c'mon... you paint yourselves up and pull music out for women to cheer you for. Wow, dressing up as fruits... you're REALLY expressing what the hell your music means.

7. N'Sync - A group of wiggers trying to show that being preppy and ghetto at the same time can work. Didn't one of the guys try rocking braids? UGH! And Justin Timberlake trying to cross over into R&B? I don't think so...

8. Nelly - THE HUGEST SELL-OUT TO HIP-HOP EVER! How in the hell do you start out with something as hot as Country Grammar, and then switch over to collaborating with Christina Augilera, Justin Wiggerfake (I mean Timberlake), N'Sync, and then TIM MCGRAW? Thank goodness someone like KRS-One schooled him in the beef to let him know where his credibility stands to the REAL hip-hop heads as a "rapper".

9. Blink 182 - I never got the idea in the first place about running around naked. I think they realized how much they sucked, and just tried to bring everyone's attention to their naked bodies, so that no one would notice their horrible music and throw tomatoes at them.

10. Slipknot - "Wow... we're blood-drive clowns who can't make music for sh*t, so we decide to just yell random bullsh*t and hope that our gimmicks sell, because if we depended on our music, I can see us sitting next to American Idol winners in the dumpster, due to failed careers." Cheesy gimmick, terrible music.

I know I don't listen to rock or anything, but I've AT LEAST given it a chance. In my honest opinion, that's how I feel. A lot of the bands of rock that I see on television I truly can't tolerate.

Bands I hate? I got a list 10 miles long. Who's number one at the moment?

Puffy Ami Yumi.

F****ck this J-pop bullsh*t. They do the theme song for some awful travesty of a comic book cartoon and all of a sudden they're the flavor of the month for pop rock that's parent-approved. And their cartoon...it just HURTS. One lame cliche after another, it's like someone wrote it on their lunchbreak.

I really hate those two and the whole "asian explosion".

Pretty much every band that Spitfire mentioned. Also Emo, Ska, anything modern that's labeled "Punk", anything top 40 or mainstream, women that rap, modern country, Fred Durst, a lot of foreign music, 90% of all techno, and any rapper that isn't rapping about murdering cops or life on the streets. I loved the early 90s rap like N.W.A, Public Enemy, etc. It was all about killing people and stealing cars back then, in my mind that's what all rap should be about.

Making general statements that all mainstream music is bad, is really naive. Although I would agree that most 'mainstream' music is horrible, there are plenty of good bands/artists that have made it there too.

When I say mainstream I really mean pop. You live in DFW, I'm talking about the kind of crap they play on KISS FM.

By far most of those "artists" suck for obvious reasons, but specificly what are your problems with #s 2, 6, 8, 10, and 20? That makes me want to know what kind of music and artists you do like also?

Since when did Green Day ever complain about their life sucking?

You're thinking Taking Back Sunday. Am I right or am I right?

i don't really have any. but i would really love to kill whoever sung 'California' for the OC. everyone at school who i hate is singing it and i mean EVERYONE! so what that they sung a theme song for a modern day soap opera? i just want to kill them because they just sing the same thing over and over and over and over and over......

and all rap artists who are saying that their lives are a misery and they pulled themselves up from the streets to a crap recording studio and just talked as fast as they could into a microphone

EDIT

okay! i've had some time to think about it and i'm back for more ranting!

1 - Hillary Duff. she has a way of dressing up girls at the age of 5. she influences them to have their ears peirced and try to act grown up when they have a long way to go. also, she just sings what everyone already knows. Conclution? she is just a mindless zombie sent from god knows where to brainwash kids into wearing makeup and proably making some of the biggest mistakes of their lives. i just hate people like that!

2 - like i said before, all rap artists who are saying that their lives are a misery blah, blah blah. cut the emotional crap and stop turning very good music into junk by talking over it! if you want to know what i mean, some examples of this are 50cent, Usher , D12 and that lot

3 - the people who sing 'Californa'. you know why

4 - HiHiPuffyAniYumi (i think that's how you say that). just because they get a gig on 'Teen Titans' they manage to get their own TV show and just give a huge insult to the Anime industry. not only that, but they need a new name. their current one is just to long and....well...complex

5 - wanna be boybands like 'the BackStreetBoys'. they are already over before they start, so why bother?

6 - Blink 182, Good Charlote, Red Hot Chillie Peppers and Greenday. their songs are good and that's the only thing good about them. they are just another form of the wanna be boybands, only trying to look 'Punk' and everything. not only that, but who would be sane enough to play out in public in their underwear? come off it!

7 - Evenesince. even though their one of my favorite bands, people just went on about it for to long. one song was all it took. it just irratates me

8 - Guy Serbastian. he won 'Austalian Idol' about two years ago, making him the first 'Austalian Idol'. he's songs get on my nerves and it sounds like before he sings he's been kicked where the sun don't shine. i'm dead serious! if you want to know what i mean, click here and click on 'Out With My Baby' *shudders*

9 - Christina Agulira, Jessica Simpon, Pink, J-Lo ect. YOU LOT JUST GET ON MY NERVES WITH ALL OF YOUR SAPPY SONGS! Jessica keeps on singing about her hubby, Christina has just pointless songs, Pink is trying to discuse it with rock and 'punk'. i take that as an insult Pink. it's almost as bad as Hillary Duff! and J-Lo, i love animals, i really do. you have an enemy out there along with the animal rights group that hates your guts

10 - Avril Lavine. she just...well...sucks. i used to like her, i regret it much. but that was only for...hmm...lets see...one week. i then hated her guts trying to be so 'punk'. to make matters worse, for my birthday guess what my mom got for me? yep. the first ever album of Avril. i like using it as a dart bord

well, that's all from me and my ranting. if you had read this, you have just wasted serval minutes of your life (couldn't resist )

I hate about anything new...I always wondered why i hated it so much untill i started talking to someone about it and they said something about it sounded like it came from a factory and man if that didnt hit the nail on the head. It is just horrible in my opinion. The only artist who has come out latley that is actually different is nora jones...and you know what??? she still cannot be as popular as the crap singers.

Actually, Puffy has been around for several years (10 maybe) and are Extremley popular in Japan. They are called PuffyAmiYumi in the US because a certain rap artist that used to go by the name Puff Daddy threatened to sue them if they released an album under the name "Puffy"

I don't see how their music is a huge insult to the anime industry.

I've been disconnected from the Music World as of Late...Really only listening to Kanye West (Very Good yet Underrated) and Jay-z (NO NOT THAT DAMN LINKIN PARK MASH-UP)

50 cent's new album i haven't heard yet but im sure i'll probably d'load it later on.

Alot of Music Nowadays sounds the same, Every artist is following the trend of "I don't like the Paparazzi...Im gonna make a song about it! weee!" yet i find being pictured in ANY magazine is a sign that people are still moderately interested...and Paparazzi are People too! Wassupwitdat?!
