Music artists you just aren't impressed with - Page 2

BlackWolf · 06-18-2007, 11:45 PM

Oh, no, I just forgot.

They did stateside, they were the talk of the indie scene for a while.

wonderboy · 06-19-2007, 10:40 AM

I like Kelly Clarkson a lot because she brings out a lot of herself in her songs and I think Fergie's songs are just fun sometimes.

These are the people I don't really care for:

Justin Timberlake - Overhyped
Fall Out Boy
My Chemical Romance - These two bands just annoy me
Avril Lavigne

Oh, okay. Well, good to know.
All I know is that their new album is crap. I keep getting disappointed...

watashimokomi · 06-20-2007, 08:43 AM

I cannot understand how can anyone like Daniel Baddingfield. His voice is so girl like.

I've never witnessed a band take a more awful turn into the crapper than KoL. Their new stuff makes me sad.

Cat · 06-21-2007, 05:06 PM

Two words; Bloc Party.

BTW, hi BoredJen! Loooong time no see.

Metallica...

It's really sad that their last decent effort was an album full of cover songs.

watashimokomi · 06-22-2007, 11:10 AM

but that doesn't mean you have tosay that Metalica is not impressive at all...

SilverSpoon · 06-22-2007, 11:29 AM

But they're not impressive anymore. The Black Album, Load and Reload were mediocre efforts, and St. Anger was complete garbage. They also sound terrible in live performances now.

watashimokomi · 06-22-2007, 11:47 AM

agree
But I still remember them from Ride the Lightning, Metallica and Load albums.
one of my fav songs is For Whom the Bell Tolls......but I do not remeber which alnum is that

Wow....forgot about them....but how could I? You're 100% correct.

This should be a seperate topic: Bands that took the biggest turn into the crapper. Metallica takes the #1 spot, but I'm sure there are plenty more.

The question is, which album put them in the crapper? I disagree with many Metallica fans that it was the Black Album. I think that's a fantastic modern rock record. It was different for them and certainly more commercial. But still an excellent album filled with classic songs. Load was definitely the all time biggest crap turn for a great band in more ways than one.

Hey Cat! Yeah, I forgot these boards existed. HAHA!

Kashie · 06-24-2007, 08:19 AM

Oh I'm afraid this list is loooong.

I'm not too impressed with most dance-music making people. But I guess it's just because I like instruments... and having people sweat and work and bleed and cry and laugh and be there, to create music. Most of the times I don't see the artistic element in the lyrics or the sounds... maybe it's just me, I don't know.

Hmm, who could be on this list?
Jojo
Hilary Duff
Lindsay Lohan
Pussycat Dolls

Ok, there are many but I really don't feel like listing them. Those ^ are just obvious ones, really.

watashimokomi · 06-25-2007, 11:57 AM

Kashie, I am so not impressed with those bands that you named that I only know the names and remember no music.

BoredJen · 06-29-2007, 03:56 AM

I never really responded to the topic of this thread so I will now. Obviously there are tons of "music artists" I'm not impressed with and can barely call artists. But one person that sticks out for me is Justin Timberlake. I just think it's funny that people's expectations for him were so low after N Sync that all he has to do it show up on a stage sitting behind a keyboard or holding a guitar and people are shocked into thinking he's some kind of musical genius. I have to roll my eyes when people say he really changed from the N Sync days. I don't see what the difference is between what he's doing now and what he did then besides the fact that he hired some pretty creative producers to help him.

watashimokomi · 06-29-2007, 04:18 AM

definitely - everything is there to help him out to become what he is now, BorderJen, but chiks do like him and I guess if he even couldn't sing he would have been popular.
That is exactly what makes Enrique Iglesias popular thoug he is real bogus.

Gumby · 06-29-2007, 04:39 AM

I agree that Metallica took a major downturn after the Black Album, which only had a few decent songs to begin with. Anything after that sucks.

But not liking Teh Sabbath? That ain't right...

watashimokomi · 06-29-2007, 04:46 AM

I just like Metallica and the major idea why is about James Hatfield - though I am not really found of James Newstad leaving the band....that was sad.

BoredJen · 07-04-2007, 06:01 AM

A couple of other highly touted acts I don't get at all are The Arctic Monkeys and Mike Skinner AKA The Streets. I think what Mike Skinner does from a spoken word stand point is interesting, but I don't find his music to be very...musical.

Oh, oh! I so agree with The Arctic Monkeys. They're okay and all, but I just don't understand the hype. They're not that great, and they are definitely not the best and most influential to come out of Britain since Oasis...or whatever it is they're saying.

BlackWolf · 07-08-2007, 11:21 PM

Right, we've been over the Arctic Monkeys, you know where I stand. But I don't see your argument as far as The Streets goes, it's Hip-Hop and rather "grimey" at that, the beats are supposed to be like that, it isn't meant to be some glossy club sound.
