OK, try Pantera then.

Pantera
For all the gushing that goes on over this band, people neglect to mention that they only actually released two good albums. That's really all you can say about them. Oh, aside from pointing out the fact that they weren't selling any records as a shitty glam metal band, so they changed their image and sound to try and move product. Then, after their breakup, they formed a bunch of shitty bands like Superjoint Ritual and Damageplan. Nice job, guys.

Tenacious D
Their show was good, their music wasn't that funny without the show to accompany it. 'Nuff said.

Horrorpops
For a band that claims to be more than a regular psychobilly act, they sure do play a lot of psychobilly. Sure, there's a faint hint of ska or pop here and there, but when your music is riddled with standup bass slapping, it's pretty difficult to pass yourselves off as anything more than a psychobilly act.

Wesley Willis
What is with you people and trying to get me to pick on the dead? Wesley Willis is a novelty act. He had some underground success because people thought he was funny. Where the critical acclaim and "OMG SO AMAZING" bullshit from people like Jello Biafra came from is beyond me. I own but one of his CDs, and I don't think it's seen any play time for about three years now.

These whiny nu-metal idiots do a pretty good job of making fun of themselves.

Please refer to comments regarding Reel Big Fish.

Pantera is a Metallica rip-off...

Skillet
Christian rock isn't something that I keep up with. There are cotton balls in this world with more edge than most Christian rock bands.

Five Iron Frenzy
Look. What do you people not fucking get? This is the third time someone's brought up some shitty ska/punk act. I'm going to say it again, and this is the last time I'm even acknowledging any of this crap: Ska/Punk is horrible. The one reasonably acceptable band to emerge from this miserable genre is Operation Ivy, and even they weren't as great as everyone would have you believe. Stop bringing these horrible bands up.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Are you joking? 60 piece orchestras? In a rock setting? No, okay? Just fucking no.

The Prodigy
Rave + brief and uninteresting goth phase + hype = The Prodigy. They're one of the most over rated electronic music acts of all time next to the Crystal Method.

Styx
I'm not even going to bother. Anything you can say against Styx has already been said time and time again by thousands of music critics the world over.

The Decemberists
There isn't much you can say against the band except for the fact that they have a tendency to rip off Neutral Milk Hotel a bit. That and the fact that I get tired of folky tomfoolery pretty quick most of the time.

The Postal Service
When Ben Gibbard is done moping with a guitar, he mopes with a laptop. Wonderful. "Give Up" was okay, I guess, but the project has yet to produce anything else even remotely interesting.

Demon Hunter
Let's look at the artists listed under the "Similar Artists" section on their AMG profile, shall we?
-Testament
-Slayer
-Sevendust
-Nothingface
-Saliva
-Linkin Park
-Deftones
-Slipknot.
Now let it be known that any artist who has anything to do with Slipknot, Linkin Park, Saliva, Nothingface, or Sevendust is not worth bothering with. Their discography reviews scream "MEH!" in huge capital letters with two records holding three star ratings, and a third album that they haven't even bothered to review yet. The third one of course being some miserable looking affair that I saw advertised in a magazine showing three "collectable" covers that are available. So they're a sub-par, extremely average metal band who still thinks people will fall for that "Collect All The Covers!" bullshit. Sounds like a blast.

Ok, Dinosaur Jr. and the Misfits.

[Spoon Poetic]

Skillet went mainstream :-P

[Heccubus]

Dinosaur Jr.
Yet another band from the "grunge" scene that put out one or two decent albums, and then kept slogging along churning out unlistenable crap before finally breaking up. Imagine my disgust when I heard that they reunited this year.

The Misfits
Two things:
1) None of them could play their instruments. I know that this is what made bands cool back then, but it still pisses me off.
2) Glenn Danzig is really annoying. All of that "OOOH I AM SO EVIL" bullshit can go, but his voice can stay. He was the only guy in that band with any musical ability whatsoever.

[Wayne]

The Melvins. I'm having alot of fun with this.

[Spoon Poetic]

Me too. Though I wish you wouldn't limit yourself, and would do some jazz or classical... :-P


How about The Cure, Daft Punk, Hopesfall, Stratovarius, Malice Mizer, Gaelic Storm, Project 86, Orgy.

It's cool that you guys like the Pogues so much, but honestly your schtick has worn thin. Now that we have dozens of bands ripping off the Pogues, your particular brand of unoriginality isn't all that interesting, you know?

BAM! I beat you to the mention. (glad to find someone else who likes them, though)
