Modest Man From Mandrake Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 QUOTE (liquidcrystalcompass @ Feb 14 2007, 01:39 PM) The Dixie Chicks. Five Grammy awards? What have we become as a society? I will say they are not my taste in music at all. I will admit to like a couple of their songs though. Talking strictly about talent, they are very talented ladies. Their vocal ability is not shitty. Their playing ability is not shit. I just don't really like the style music. So I wouldn't say they deserve being the most overrated. Just my two sense.

"Nobody's Fault" is probably my favorite Aerosmith song, but "Last Child" is up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, AC/DC, KISS, and about 99% of metal groups are ridiculously overrated, I agree. And Bob Dylan's voice is God-awful and he isn't an instrumental virtuoso either, but...the man's a master wordsmith. You can read his song lyrics like poetry. They're incredible. So even though I'd never make it through a Dylan album, I have a healthy amount of respect for him as a songwriter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco I was into a bit of conteporary music in the 90's. I went through a major shoegze phase, ambient phase, trip-hop phase, and then it kind of fizzled. I don't listen to that stuff too much these days, but I still have a bit of it. I tend to stick mostly with 60's and 70's, but occasionally I'll listen to some more modern stuff. We're talking maybe 1% of the time, but that's better than 0%! P.S. - Portishead did have some success here. Moreso with their 1st album than their 2nd, but they were pretty known in the States when they were active... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all it's a RUSH forum, that can be expected. But theres many out there just want to ride the hate wave with the Dixie Chicks because of the 03 incident. Without being familiar with there music at all.(And like was said earlier in thread theres been many times worse things said about this president) Just seems to me a bit hypocritical. I love there music have from the start, And I'm not ASHAMED to say. Seen them play very early in there career at our Stark County Fair . They were awesome and yes there very good musicians and vocal harmonies secound to none. Rick Rubin did a masterful job with Taking The Long Way. And a list of talent that jammed with the Chicks on this record John Mayer ,Mike Cambell of the Heartbreakers, Keb'Mo,Bonnie Raitt Chad Smith on drums from the Chili Peppers. Btw folks they have won a total of 14 grammys which includes the five they won this year. I agree the grammys are lame, I hate these award shows, But every once in awhile they get it right, I felt the same way when Joshua Tree won. Putting aside all of this political crap I'm a FAN I thought they deserve to win because It's a great album. If there was a agenda why the DCX won all (perhaps) Don't care I like the MUSIC.

I haven't heard much of them, although I suspect I would from what I know of them, even though it's not the kind of music I listen to as actively these days. I have one cd-single of theirs, Teardrop, and that ONLY because it guest stars Elisabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins and I used to be a HUGE Cocteau Twins fan.

You know...I can't really call myself a "Floyd" fan. In fact, I would say that I'm a surface fan at best. There are songs and albums that I really DIG and have and listen to...but honestly, most of it really makes no sense to me. Not denying they are known as a serious powerhouse band, and I give credit where it's due, but with the exception of the 1 or 2 albums I have, one of which is "The Wall", I really have never been able to filter them in... I really like "The Trial" and the music of "The Wall"...then just the hit songs really...sorry Floyd fans...but I do recognize them as one of the very best!

thedoorsdk Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I'm a huge Allman Brothers fan. I see Skynyrd as a poor man's ABB. Even the Allman's are at their best as a blues band than a country-rock band, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roddy Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'm afraid, after listening to a fair amount of their stuff, I have to add Porcupine Tree to my list. As I've said elsewhere, I like progressive music that goes to extremes, and PT simply don't. While bands like Opeth and Dream Theater's heavy stuff is extremely heavy, their light stuff is extremely light, such seems to be far from the case with PT. They never seem to extend themselves either way. Their music just seems to plod along without really reaching any kind of climax, to my ears.
