Bands that should not have been as big as they are or were

[broganreynik]

This may seem like sacrilege to some, but I'll say Nirvana.

[StPaulHusker]

Dave Matthews Band

A few years ago I would have agreed. Now I am starting to like them more

PInk Floyd. I know I'm gonna get ultra-flamed for saying that, but I cannot stand their music and I honestly don't understand how people enjoy it.

Yes and yes... Nirvana wishes they were half as good as Tad

 

I forgot the Grateful Dead and Phish...

[MLB 51]

Almost anything in the current top 40. And a number of others already mentioned.

 

Radiohead. I have no idea where the rabid fan base comes from.

Bon Jovi.

 

Thanks, forgot about those idiots

Bon Jovi made it easy to get laid back in the 80's.

Play a little Bon Jovi on the car stereo and the women took their panties off real quick.

White Snake and Def Leppard were pretty popular with ladies back then as well.

[Moiraine]

There are way too many to name. 95% of what's on the radio (well, the "80s, 90s, and Today" stations at least).

 

and walks... you weren't paying attention when listening to the last 8 Beatles albums (if you've even done that). Just because they were popular and people screamed at them, doesn't mean they weren't great. Even their early albums were great when compared to other bands of that time.

 

 

Anyhoo... I have to agree with Nirvana. A huge part of their appeal was that they weren't a hair band.

[Decked]

Nicki Minaj or w'ertf her name is. Talk about nails on a chalkboard.

 

You can add Lil Wayne, Drake, and Bieber to that list as well.

[HuskerThor]

The Doors.

+1,000,000

 

Every time I hear one of their songs start, its an immediate radio station change.

Whitesnake rocks. Def Leppard sucks balls.

Saints & Sinners & Slide it in, great albums, and "Still of the Night" great song, the rest of it was kinda crap...

I have listened to the Beatles records, then I heard Led Zepplin and Sabbath, and realized how garbage the Beatles really were...

 

edit: Not too mention, the Beatles aren't even on the same field as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf

How to enjoy Pink Floyd-

1- Get the good stuff

2- Fully load the bowl

3- Wander across campus to the planetarium in Elephant Hall

4- Watch laser Floyd totally baked

5- Enjoy

 

On another note, went to Roger Waters The Wall concert a couple years ago. It was awesome- by far the best concert I've ever been to.
