What makes a band a good band?

(1/9) > >>

kitsunefire:
Does it have to do with their talent as instrument players? There gift as a vocalist/song writer? The fact that nobody has heard of them before?

what makes a band/group or solo artist great?

Everybody here has an opinion so lets here them  :)

Kai:
For me, it's if they happen to bring anything new or special "to the table", if you will. Every single thing they do musically, whether it be the instruments, to the singers, to whatever, influences it. Basically, if a band rehashes what others have done before and doesn't try to do anything different, I don't want any part of it; at all.

Philybe:
I'd say originality is the biggest thing for me. Musical skill is important, and virtuosity is always nice, but if they're just rehashing old stuff then it's not going to grab me.

La Creme:
If a bandwants to be the band it is, and is capable of playing what they want to play and doing what they want to do, they are already 50% to being good. The other 50 is split equal between:

- Appeal to a certain audience (if you appeal to nobody, you are really suck).
- Interesting and original ideas.
- Good songwriting / musicianship.
- Everyone in the band doing their own thing, but contributing to the sound as a whole.
- Fans, listeners, and audience can tell that you enjoy what you play.

practicality:
I think musical ability and tempo is the most important. I don't mind remakes, unless I didn't like the song in the first place.
