Here we go again, the Definitive List 'O Top Six #3! While trying to understand why the #1 band on this list is popular at all, we came up with idea for this post. Some bands just shouldn't ever be anyone's all time favorite. While we have no problem with music fans having diverse taste, but there has to be some standard on what bands are "favorite" worthy. And these bands are not worthy:6. Weezer: The "comeback" albums are kinda shitty, but the "Blue Album" still crushes. Can't believe how heavy that album actually is. Dig the loud drums on Pinkerton, but not enough solid material to warrant favorite band status.
5. Foo Fighters: Every other project that Dave Grohl has been involved with outside of the Foo is better than the Foo. Look it up.
4. Red Hot Chili Peppers: Their best song? "Magic Johnson." Not favorite band material if you ask us. Frusciante has some nice tone on "Scar Tissue," though. Break your t.v. screen!
3. Rage Against the Machine; We only listen to "Renegades" and it's all covers. That album is raw and powerful, while the rest of their records sound too rigid and overwritten. Doesn't help that Audioslave sucks and Zach pulling a "Chinese Democracy" with his solo disc. On this list mostly 'cause most fans who say Rage are their favorites have no idea what Zach is rappin' about.
2. The Pixies: Seems mostly revisionist history on this one. Cobain says they're gold, so they are deemed indie gods. We bought "Surfer Rosa" after seeing this, and we haven't listen to it since. Crank some Dinosaur Jr instead.
1. Sublime: The other bands on this list we like, just don't get why anyone would call them their "favorite" band. But not this pile. What's so special about them. Ska-punk reggae white-boy bullshit, if you ask us. Only fun if we've grabbed a couple fish tacos and we're headin' to the beach. The only tune we kinda like is "Santeria," but it's probably because he's in the video.

ReplyDelete6. Don't know why they're so favorited. Blue Album ok and fun, but nowhere near great. Pinkerton has a decent feel, but little else. When Green came out I dug it how Weezer had a defined schtick. The subsequent stuff sucked out loud. "That's it?" I ask myself when I hear the Rivers Cuomo.....see also entry #2.
5. Awesome when they perform on tv. Songs are boring. A shame since Grohl seems like your friend.
4. Chilis. Some terrible stuff next to some pretty good tunes. Keidis is so unbelievably horrible that he alone warrants this band's presence on the list.
3. Rage Against. Not as revolutionary as they think. I'm biased cuz Guitar World drooled over Tom for filtering static thru a Digitech. Fuck you. Two good records.
2. Pixies. Don't get it. Why the accolades? A fun song here and there, mostly sloppy and hackneyed crap.
1. Sublime is horrible. The band on this list that is waaaaaayyy too many people's legitimate favorite band. Brad was a drug addict douche. These guys are morons. "Date Rape" has some okay leads. Paul Leary produced that album. Remember how they were flaked on two BooBoos instores back in, like, '94? Get high next to your bbq somewhere else, Sublime fans.
If I think of bands you shouldn't live for I'll post them soon....
HEAVY DUTY IS YOUR LIFE
ReplyDelete6. Have always sucked.
ReplyDelete5. I just don't understand. I mean, at least he started doing something after Nirvana, but jesus...
4. Possibly the only band in history to be played on every radio station in existence at the exact same time. Utter shiite.
3. Not my favorite, but I don't think these guys belong on here. My only comment to the contrary.
2. *yawn* So booooring.
1. Sounds like the Beach Boys, only more pussy. Makes me physically ill to listen to, and entirely boggles the mind as to why anyone would suffer their happy-go-lucky, "I get stoned", retarded surfer boy anthems of butt-piratedom.
I concur.
