Fun Stuff > BAND
To hell with the canon
Misereatur:
I hate the White Strips, but I think that The Raconteurs are pretty good. When I first saw their single I thought "hey this is pretty good, wait, is that the prick from the White Strips? He can make good music?"
Johnny C:
Upon reflection, I realized something. To reggae and Bob Marley's credit, they produced Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, who melds a lot of genres into his smart, listenable music.
Other than that, still don't like reggae.

I have long said that I would by a Jack White album if he got a proper band behind him. He did that with Raconteurs. So I bought it. I'm now quite happy.
The Hammered:
I just thought of one. Although I adore Fun House and parts of their debut (I wanna be your dog, We Will Fall, Ann, Not Right), I've never cared very much for the Stooges' 1969 or No Fun. They're not terrible, but I don't see why everyone worships them.
Also, I think Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation (and several other albums by them) are really overrated. Sure, some parts are great, but a lot of it gets really boring, particularly later on. However, I'd like to point out that even though the studio version of Eric's Trip is pretty bad, if the Dirty Boots EP is any indication, it is really awesome live.

On Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones - These are bands who I'm very selective with, as some of their stuff is pure shite (Stairway to Heaven needs to die). But when they're totally on their game, they're awesome. Led Zeppelin, "When the Levee Breaks." As for the Rolling Stones, that period in the sixties (Their Satanic Majesties Request, "Ruby Tuesday," "She Smiles Sweetly") followed up by "Get Your Ya-Yas Out!." At least Led Zeppelin broke up... whereas the Stones have made a steady course of producing garbage, with the occasionally good song (Beast of Burden is excellent)...
I agree with Godspeed... and almost everyone else on Constellation... doesn't surprise me that most of the members are also part of Broken Social Scene... all that bores me to tears.
I only like one Rage Against The Machine album, and that's Renegades. It's pure goodness. Their albums of non-covers don't interest me at all.
Most really popular indie acts, such as M. Ward, Bonnie Prince Billy, Cat Power, and Okkerrial(sp) River... It all sounds the same after awhile.
I'm kinda angry at the anti-Reggae posts. But I have to go to class soon. I'll write my response that slams you all at another time.
Sigur Ros not interesting? Oh dear. Someone isn't using their ears at all... again I'll be back on that.
