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

super talented at what?

I'll admit I've only heard parts of one song, but some things are so bad you don't want to take a chance at more awfulness you can't unhear...The really scarry thing is she wears makeup too much like a girl I dated for 6 years...And I don't even like trannys.

Lady's got talent. Performing two of her original compositions at NYU, before she adopted the pop icon personality and was just Stefani Germanotta.

What are you, Some kind of Word Snob?

My Dad was ~37 years older than me and there were at most..probably less than half a dozen bands that we both liked..(Benny Goodman, Chicago, Buddy Rich, Spike Jones...).

I was a couple of weeks shy of my 41st Birthday when my Son was born..And good or bad, we seem to like the same bands... which my old college buddy who now seems to like Johnny Cash even more than he liked Fleetwood Mac back in the day started saying my Son was probably just being polite.

But I was able to point out that even though I might like a couple of Linkin Park's songs, I really don't like most of their music..And even though I usually object when my Son puts in a Linkin Park CD, he defends them and still likes them..I'm glad he's comfortable enough in his convictions to not be swayed by my objections..We even usually joke about it.

This is a discussion board and I'd hope nobody would get offended by my posts / opinions...I'm really no expert in music, but in my mind, I've rarely come across anyone that has as good of taste in music as I do..Hopefully everyone feels they have the best tastes in music.

My main concern is if Lady GA2 or Gene Simmons reads Huskerboard and gets their feelings hurt..Sounds like they take WAY too much criticism from untalented hacks as it is without me piling on.

My musical tastes have changed drastically since I left Nebraska..And it seems like a large number of people from my past have also changed quite a bit in their tastes...I miss being able to have the friendly banter/ribbing with each other to try to straighten each other out... eyeswear2allthatsholy .

Now that makes a little more sense. I am not trying to start a fight. I just don't see why people feel the need to say something is inferior or so and so has no talent just because they are not what you like. There is lots music I don't care for, but I know you don't get anywhere in the music business without talent.

My father was 40 when I was born. I grew up listening to Big Band music.

I thankfully grew up on CCR, the Eagles, Zep, Sabbath, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Hank Sr, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, the Ramones, Yes, Rush, and if you can believe it, Chuck Mangone

I used to LOVE when my parents had friends over and they'd pull out the Big Bands..

I still cringe though, at the memories of roadtrips listening to 8-tracks of Ray Conniff and his Singers or having to watch Laurence Welk and Hee Haw...

I wonder what my Son will think of bands like Tool, Alice in Chains, or Slipknot when he's my age..

Throw the Stones in there and were pretty much the same. Less the Chuck Mangione.

I'm not sure if it's a need as much as a useful tool...I really wish my Ex would've let me know during our 4 year engagement that she actually liked Rap Music..Which (I'm sure will be pointed out that I'm wrong) requires no talent..except the ability to recite Dr Seuss or just rhyme naughty words.

I liked Chuck for a girl once...Not sure who Hank Sr is though...And never could talk my mom out of liking CCR..Wish I'd been introduced to Muddy before college.

ALL Pop Country. You have to be a complete moron to not understand a country song written in the last 30 years. How many damn songs do I have to hear about tractors, trucks and Jesus. Really inspiring and artistic...

Another thing, it seems you can't make a P-Country record these days without ripping off someone else's work. Old Crow Medicine Show did Bob Dylan's, Mama, Rock me, (Wagon Wheel) 10 years ago, and did it well. Now I have to hear this Wal*Mart p.o.s. version every 15 minutes on the radio.
