No I meant those 3 bands should just fade away, not that they went away. Sorry for the misconception.My father in law was telling me over Thanksgiving about this amazing bartender at some bar he frequented who could shake a martini and fill it to the rim with no leftovers and he thought it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen. I then proceeded to his home bar and made four martinis in one shaker with unfamiliar glassware and a non standard shaker and did the same thing. From that moment forward I knew he had no compunction about my cock ever being in his daughter's mouth. -
I'm sure there are some people who hate you for putting Beastie Boys and HipHop or Rap together in the same sentence.Originally posted by genocidalComment

Okay music genius, if the Beastie Boys aren't hip-hop, regardless of your personal opinion of them, then what are they? I don't consider Green Day not rock just because I don't like them. Plus, it's not like hip-hop is all that respectable of a music type these days anyways, unless you're really into fucking bitches and capping fools (which you very well could be since it's like you're under the age of 15).Originally posted by RiesenComment

let's be honest, this was the year to give out awards to washed up rockers.
Anything Post "Dookie" for Green Day isnt worth 99 cents.
And Anything Post "War" for U2 is moderate at best.
The Killers deserved it, flat out.Originally posted by ToneComment

Shenanigans was a good album, despite it being filled with B-sides.Comment

After actually downloading this new U2 album since hearing so much about it I can now safely retract my earlier statement about U2 being a respectable band mentioned at the Grammys. Wtf happened? This shit sounds like gay ass arena-rock to the extreme. Where is Joshua Tree quality material?! But I guess I need to face the fact that U2 lost most of its real talent after 1990, hold a few good songs found on generally sub-par albums. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, however, is not even sub-par.Comment

my dad bought 'how to dismantle an atomic bomb'. he had 'the joshua tree' too. so i listened to the joshua tree. a+. then i started their new album. "vertigo" is pretty good, so i was optimistic. then i heard the other 10 tracks.
2 words: aural holocaust.
their new album is total garbage, u2 hasnt been good in so long, i can't believe people actually like them and that they actually won a grammy.
oh wait, yes i can, people are idiots and the grammy's suck.Comment

Never said I was one of the people who doesn't think they're hip hop, but there are people who feel they aren't, they feel that they're just white boys who can't do anything else. So, just calm down.Originally posted by genocidal
Why does everyone assume that if you don't agree with them you're 15 years old? Is it because that's the only way they can rationalize the argument? I was thinking the same about you, Genocidal. What with all the childish name calling. I mean really, "poopholes"?
Most of it isn't even on Joshua Tree. U2 isn't a great band. High pitched vocals and guitarist that the band doesn't really need anyway isn't talent, it's just annoying. Plus, I thought they were political rockers, where are the politics in their songs besides "Sunday, Bloody Sunday"?Originally posted by genocidalComment

All of these people saying that U2 hasn't been good in a long time, not since Joshua Tree, seem to be overlooking All That You Can't Leave Behind, which I thought was a great album, and one of the best of 2001. While I do think Joshua Tree was their best album with Achtung Baby second, people seem to think U2 hasn't done anything since. People are quick to leap on things like them being too mainstream or too commercial, but I found a couple of songs on All That You Can't Leave Behind to be incredibly earnest.
Maybe it's just because I myself have matured a bit and All That was more of a "grown up" album, and maybe it's a matter of people not liking things that are mainstream. On the other hand, perhaps this, like many other discussions about music on these forums, is really just a contest to see whose musical tastes are the most pretentious.Comment

For me, it's not maturity or mainstream anything. It's just too hard for me to get past Bono's voice. It's like a laid back Axl Rose.Comment
-
Well that's a bit different. You don't like U2 because you just don't like U2. I'm talking about the people who don't like current U2 because they aren't what they think U2 should be.Comment

Bono himself is quite pretentious, I believe that their music has soured over the years.Comment
