There's the gay group called Lambda at the local college, and they had an amatuer night. All the lesbians that went on stage either sung a Tori song or an Ani Defranco song. There was no variety whatsoever. Then the black guy with a bad perm kept telling this asian guy he was hot when the guy wasn't even remotely interested in him, and this guy I used to have a crush on but realized is a jerk kept talking to me and I wanted to him SO bad.

GangstaFam said:

that's a little harsh - at least *I* dislike tori for all the RIGHT reasons!

What - no Tracy Chapman?

My pick:
1. Radiohead (alltough i like 'Creep', the material that comes after that 'creeps'me out. I cant stand mister Tom Whiney, and their pretentions are toecurling irritating. I just dont understand people who think that OK Computer is a masterpiece).
2. Janet Jackson (thin voice, irritating girl in general, good dancer, but no talent otherwise, alltough Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis did a good job to hide that at Revolution 1814, or what that cd is called).
3. Kid Rock (just a a bunch of red-neck trash, humourless, irritating, makes Eminim appear like the New Mozart of white trash...lol)
4. Celine Dion (the technical ability to reach certain notes DOESNT make you a good singer, lacking everything a good singer should have: a nice timbre, emotion, spirit, soul, good music behind the voice, and she just is not a good example for teenage-girls on the edge of aneroxia)
5. Korn, Papa Roach, Staind and all that other Nu-metal bozo's (they cant write good songs, there riffs are unspired and flat, there lyrics are horrible examples of fake / blown out of proportion teenage-angst. Musicwise Tool is a trillion times better, when it comes to the lyrics they should steal the notebook of Billy Joe from Green Day).

Rhythm Nation.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis did a good job to hide what?

DynamicSavior said:

Good Times!

Krytonite,

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis did a good job to hide the fact that Janet Jackson cant sing and has no charisma, vision, attitude, whatsoever....

CinisterCee said:

true true...though i gotta admit i liked the Ja Rule/Charli Baltimore joint (can't remember the title)

1. Ashlee Simpson (sucks the fat one)
2. Hootie & The Blowfish (when they were all the rage in 9th grade...uugh)
3. Avril Lavigne (Sk8er Boy...I can't even think of words...)
4. Dave Matthews Band (can't stand that shit...no wonder everyone at their shows HAVE to be stoned)
5. The Beatles (that's RIGHT! I SAID IT! BAM!)

Krytonite said:

Her nipples.

Riverpoet31 said:

how you going to say say somebody has no charisma, vision, attitude,and you never even meet the person or know the person if you ever even bothered to listen or see her interviews you would no that she has all thoes things.
that's just absolutly ridulous . and I don't care what anybody says she can sing sure she might not be a mariah, or a whitney but she can carry a note,and is alot better than some of people out today like Britney, Ashantit,Ciara, and Jlo. give her a break geesh

RN1814 was in fact janets idea, they wanted her to do "control 2" or more of an "escapade" concept album. You shouldn't really comment on things you know little about, it makes you look ignorant.

James Blunt x 5

badujunkie said:

I know that's right. What's so fucking great about them? Really? I have yet to have someone explain the greatness of the beatles and madonna to me.

1.Korn

2.50 Cent

3.Usher

weepingwall said:

Hey, I like Weezer...Their first three albums were fire...(LOL)...For real..

DynamicSavior said:

If someone has to explain to you the "greatness" of an artist, then the point is mute, null and void, basically it doesn't matter. You either like it or you don't.
If on the other hand, you can't respect an artist for their contribution to "popular" music and their impact in the bigger scheme of things, well I don't want to tell you but to "Keep on Keepin' on".

Bfunkthe1 said:

Fine then. What EXACTLY is their contribution to popular music. I'll pretend to care in this case, since I don't listen to "popular" music. Please explain. They're just a boy band. And there's nothing great about John Lennon either.

DynamicSavior said:

Their "contribution" to "popular" music IS "popular" music! But in a good way, I.E., good songwriting.
If you have to ask, then you don't know...And if you ask somebody, then listen.

Bfunkthe1 said:

That really didn't tell me anything. Someone else wanna try?

DynamicSavior said:

You are on a Prince fan site and don't listen to popular music?
Even though I wasn't around back then, isn't The Beatles influence more than obvious? Songs, harmonies, production technics...

1. Britney Spears
2. Geraldo
3. Poison
4. ABBA
5. Bee Jees

The Beatles were the first teenybopper boy band to actually PLAY INSTRUMENTS and WRITE THEIR OWN MUSIC. They were also the first "boy band" to transcend bubblegum pop music (which, at the time, was actually a bit edgy) and experiment with the way they wrote and recorded songs.

Now, they weren't the FIRST to do what they did with pop music. They were influenced a lot by Bob Dylan and by The Beach Boys, who were growing out of the whole surfer thing and getting more into experimental music with "Smile" - but nobody expected this group of silly British boys to start writing crazy shit with sitars and backmasked drumming and absurdist lyrics about walruses and eggmen and whatever...it was kinda like Prince back in the '80s when he was at his commercial/creative peak. You just never knew what was gonna come out next. It could be anything.

Paul McCartney's a great pop songwriter. Lennon was a great bluesy rock songwriter. They had a good vibe together. George turned out to be a really good songwriter, too.

I think The Beatles were the first pop band to really truly take chances with their music and have it still be successful. I think that's why so many people love them to this day, and why they influence so many artists.
