GeddyRulz Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, John Mellencamp, Bon Jovi. Don't know how "respected" they are, but I also can't stand George Thorogood or Ted Nugent. All the above bands are certain "channel changers" for me.

GeddyRulz Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 How could I have forgotten ACDC? I've never liked them, and always wondered what the big deal was. Angus has very little talent - certainly not a "guitar god." The lyrics are always stupid, the music is usually three chords, and every song sounds alike to me. The only Angus guitarwork that ever impressed me was the beginning of "Thunder Struck," just because it sounds like cool two-handed tapping.

barney_rebel Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I wasn't much of a fan of DD, but I was dragged to a show back in 1997 with that Electric Barbarella tour. It was a decent show - they put on a pretty good performance. John Taylore is a VERY good bass player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so maybe he wasn't all that respected to begin with. But I had to throw him in, because I can't stand him! Nothing will get me to change the radio station faster. I mean that. And he had more songs than you probably think at first. I'm sure you know these as well: I Drink Alone One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer Move It On Over Who Do You Love? ... and of course, Bad to the Bone.

feelingwithyourskin Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 look, i'm not saying that people aren't allowed to hate them just... you know, do your homework. they weren't a boy band, or anything close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I agree with Barney and FWYS on the Duran Duran thing; they're better than most give them credit for. I also agree about John Taylor being a great bassist. And now that the 80s are long over, we can actually look back at their old pop songs and see that they were well-crafted tunes. Pop music, granted, but still good songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slime Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 I'll add yet another voice for the "so what?" opinion of Aerosmith. It keeps me from buying their compilations, because I'm sure that I'd tire of even the few songs of theirs I like. I'll also put a pin to the balloon of the Beach Boys. I may be horribly ignorant of their music, but did they ALWAYS write such fluff as ends up in their hits collections? Even the Beatles hits collections have some serious tunes. Wilson was right to be wary of the Fab Four, simply because they were writing better music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
