Ultimate Rock Bands Elimination: Round 13 (8/21/20)

[_hi_water._]

who the f**k is trying to eliminate zz top and van halen?

 

Do you think every single rock fan has to like Van Halen or ZZ Top?

 

This.

 

I tire of this forums sheep mentality sometimes lol

I am gonna keep immuning Van Halen cuz they are my personal favorite band

 

That's definitely fair though.

It all comes to personal taste..

 

I love Def Leppard but there's lots of other bands that I would prefer over them. Not sure about it topping Whitesnake, Fleetwood Mac, Kansas and Aerosmith's early stuff

It actually tops Fleetwood Mac and Kansas with ease. Early Whitesnake and Aerosmith before the 90s? Those are tougher calls.

[zepphead]

By the nature of the poll they are all good bands but something's gotta give!! Starting to get interesting now!

Thoughts of voting have pushed this song into my head ....

You didn't include Scorpions in the original poll (list of rock bands in the first round). Forgot them?

Agreed. First 3 Def Leppard albums are good (Hign N' Dry is probably the best), but Hysteria is a commercial cheesy rock I can't stand, siimilar to Bon Jovi stuff.

Compared to Kansas, which is K-Tel compilation crap? Fleetwood Mac is far superior to Kansas, but Def Leppard's first 5 albums are still better than anything from them other than Rumours.

[Nova Carmina]

Fleetwood Mac is a tale of two bands, innit? The early bluesy stuff with Peter Green (RIP) is worlds away -- and, to my taste, worlds better -- than the later '70s soft rock crappo (though "Tusk" is fun).

 

Early Fleetwood Mac > Def Leppard > later Fleetwood Mac

Def Leppard and Whitesnake have nothing on Rumours, Tusk, Point Of Know Return or Leftoverture

 

Nothing

 

Anyone who says Whitesnake or Def Leppard easily surpass Fleetwood Mac and Kansas are ridiculously misinformed.

 

Sick of this egotistical Rolling Stone journalism level elitist tone so many have on this forum.

Make up your mind. Are people entitled to their own opinions, or is your taste in music objectively correct?

 

You like Toto for Christ’s sake. They’re a joke. I’m hoping you realize which of the two choices above benefit you.

Yes, everyone is. To borrow from someone above, I'm sick of hearing people rip a band someone else likes with zeal, only to retreat to the tired "But it's my OPINION" complaint when a band they like gets bashed. Unless they are an insipid moron, everyone on this board realizes everyone else is stating their opinion. If you don't agree with mine, by all means tell me why you don't. You can even say a band I like sucks, if that's your pleasure. But please, if that's how you conduct yourself, don't whine about how someone isn't respecting your opinion when its a band you like in the cross hairs.

 

We're strangers on a message board talking about musical taste. Get some perspective for Christ's sake. That's not directed at you hiwater.

Stop it. I voice my opinion. And respond when others do the same. I try to be respectful of opinions that are voiced respectfully, and less so to people like you. Try some self-reflection. You're the first one to be critical in the most caustic terms, and the first one to whine when anyone you like is on the receiving end. That you think someone talking about their opinion on music can make them "stuck up" speaks volumes about how important you think your own opinions are. Not that I needed to hear more to confirm what I already knew. Your schtick is old. Get over yourself.
