What makes a band a good band?
TrueNeutral:
What makes a band a good band isn't something that can be described since it's different for everyone. I mean, most of us hate it, but to emo lovers, emo bands are probably really good.
If my ears think their songs are pleasant, that's what I consider a good band. It all comes down to the music, afterall.

--- Quote from: Kid Modernist ---Man, everybody screams "Originality!" Does anybody here like just listening to a tune you know was really easy to write? I mean, there is a place for cerebal cutting edge stuff (I know I like it, at least) but there should also be a place for ".. man, this is simple and groovy and traditional."
What I mean is Bob Dylan relied on some old stuff, and he still kicked ass. Grateful Dead played stuff that I'm sure has been played before, and they still kicked as. Stephen Malkmus still plays Pavement, and he kicks ass.
Sometimes relying on the past kicks ass.

Originality doesn't necessarily mean really easy to write. You can write something that is interesting and awesome in a good four minutes or forty years. And Bob Dylan brought stuff to the table, namely the fact that he can take simple chords and arrange them in a way that is intersting, and the lyrics are bitchin. The Grateful Dead bring certain little things that distinguish them from others. And I can't really tell you anything about pavement, but that's because I've never listened.
Thrillho:
There is absolutely no criteria. It is entirely subjective.
I don't even care if the music I listen to is good any more, it's about whether I enjoy it.
