Bands are only good if...

[Kristafon]

...youve never heard of them

...there completely commericaly unsucessful

...there songs have titles which have seemingly nothing to do with the lyrics

...the songs introductions last for atleast three minutes

...the lyrics DONT MAKE ANY SENCE atall

...they merge one kind of genre with anouther

...they have genre names like "60's soulmetal progrorevival acid neuro rock"

...every song is about ten minutes long atleast

...every song is completely deviod of any kind melody

...their fans will personally pull your eyes out of you say the band is crap

...the band is atleast twenty years old

 

[Dalamari]

I would have to say that is how to tell if a band sucks.

 

[f|uke]

...the band is atleast twenty years old

Now that one, that one is usually true.

Actually the best music is generally written by guys closer to 30.

 

[JohnnyBeverage]

I feel that most really good music is written by people who havent become overwhelmingly successful yet. The hunger to be successful seems to bring out the best in artists.

 

[MilkMan12]

Id say pink floyd almost fits all of those, when they were making music they were not making a lot of cash and are still not very commercially successful and not to mention the names of their stuff is very odd, i mean, Pigs? I love pink floyd, just love em

I rate bands as bad/good if they
1. Care about fans and what they want to hear.
2. Dont care about just making money and nothing else.
3. Actually try to sound good, id rather have a band with a few good songs than one with a ton of crap songs.

:thumbs: I agree...although bands do need to make money but hopefully they dont get obsessed (*cough* metallica *cough*)
--> For an "uncommercial" band they do a lot of questionable things...

The past 14 years has been a horrible time for music, pop music in particular. Mostly covers.

if you're being serious than you're an idiot who's no better than someone who listens to only standardized pop music. I listen to whatever appeals to my ear, regardless of whether they're mainstream or underground, make tons of money or not. classifying someone based on something other than their music or lyrics is stupid, unless its their dedication to music or their devotion to fans.

 

[Dynasty]

music nowadays is ****. it just has to be said. i cant think of ONE decent original band. no wonder all the older bands are coming back and being played more often. U2 have been officialy recognised as the best band of all time, and everyone says they're rubbish.

yeah yeah yeah its all a matter of opinion etc, but to be honest no one can see how rubbish music is nowadays (come on that bloody 'come to me' by eric prydz was at number one for god knows how long - all because of the bloody video!!!). what the hell is the world coming to music wise???

That's funny, because jazz and swing fans were saying the same things during the 70s...

Dont worry i was just making an ironic comment about people who are very into music and come up with band you have never heard of and make no sence. Not that im saying thats bad i was basically seeing if anyone felt the same. I wasnt being serious, it was just my really bad humour that only I understand .

 

[MurderScene]

if i see a band live and i like em they are god good

Yes and madden was officially recognized the best game of the year. How in the world can anyone officially deem a band fit to be called the greatest band of all time? Oh and they are rubbish.

[NeptuneUK]

hahaha in 20 years time, we'll be complaining how good today's bands were and complaining about the modern shite
