Jagger and Tyler have talent.I don't know about Manson and Zombie.

You also have to remember that, in the old days of the sixties and seventies, bands wrote, played and sang their own songs.  They also put out an album every year or two and went on tour every year.  The Grateful Dead was on the road six months out of the year for the last thirty years.

A few years back, the Spice Girls were on David Letterman.  And for some reason, they had backup singers.  They didn't play instruments; they didn't write their own songs; they didn't do their own choreography; the SG only sang... and they needed backup singers.

Go figure.

Quoted from guyjackson That chick from the Black Eyed Peas has some single about London Bridge even though she is from California.

Haven't heard the song, but isn't London Bridge in Arizona now?

Here's mine.

"Strawberry Wine" by Deanna Carter.  Country song from the late 90's.  I was on a cross country car trip when this song first came out and was at the height of its poularity.  I must have heard it about 15 times a day that entire trip.  I truly hate it, and made certain to put it on the "do not play" list on my wedding, just in case one of my smartass friends got a bright idea.

Secondly, "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger.  For some reason I just can't stand it, although I will watch that scene from Boogie Nights.  The quality in that scene far outweighs how miserable that song makes me.

Any EMO crap. It's basically all the same. If you put all emo songs together in the world, it'd sound like one massive track.

And some metal or death metal stuff is just embarrassingly pathetic. The screaming is just... urrghh! Still, stuff like System of a Down and bands like that are good and the shouting in their songs are pretty cool.

I hate any country songs. They're so depressing.

Quoted from michel I can't presently stand James Blunt's "You're Beautiful".

I can't stand this little whore.  First off, the song doesn't make any sense.  He starts off by saying "I've got a plan" but he never explains it.  Why?  Because he's trying to make his stupid song rhyme.  And nobody hears the fact that this loser is high the entire time.  You hear on the radio "She could tell from my face that I was flying high" but the real lyric is "She could tell from my face that I was fucking high."

The guy is a stoner!  James BLUNT.  BLUNT!  What a stupid song.  He's some reject trying to get women to feel sorry for him for being such a loser.  

I was like, what the hell are you talking about Greg? But after listening to the song after downloading it, I found you are right. That's so weird. True stuff, true stuff.

There was one of his songs that started "my life is brilliant", but the chump was saying brilliant really fast and it sounded like "my life is bread".

As for country, well lets just say i like Kris Kristopherson acting more than his music. Although i didnt know he was a musician till i saw Taxi Driver.

Quoted from Alex J. Cooper There was one of his songs that started "my life is brilliant", but the chump was saying brilliant really fast and it sounded like "my life is bread".

Yeah, that's the song we're talking about.  The guy is an f-ing moron.

He sure is. I dont like bands with Gimmicks.

Quoted from The boy who could fly Country is the best.  Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Patsy Kline, Kris Kristopherson, Gary Allen, Garth Brooks.  Not all Country are sad songs.

You're right Jordan. Even for a French guy like me, Country songs are talking to me. Far from being depressing, they (mostly) tells a story and touch the heart. Sometimes very funny (i.e. Alan Jackson - "I don't even know your name" ).

Quoted from michel I can't presently stand James Blunt's "You're Beautiful".

I agree.

"I saw your face, in a crowded place, and I don't know what to do"

Well godamnit, just walk up to her and be like "Hey, I'm James, can I be blunt?"

Quoted from Higgonaitor I agree. "I saw your face, in a crowded place, and I don't know what to do" Well godamnit, just walk up to her and be like "Hey, I'm James, can I be blunt?"

Wrong.  He does know what to do because he clearly says at the beginning that he's got a plan.  Oh wait, he's just trying to get crap to rhyme because he's a moron and the song is about getting stoned.   Whoopsies!!!

Yeah, it is a song about him being high. One part of the lyrics is "flying high" but in the CD version or some sort of version that line's changed to "fucking high". The song makes hardly any sense at all. And his voice... uuurrghhh.

Just to clear things up about my avatar. It's Halloween...
