I can see how they can be considered pop music based solely on the fact that they are popular, but their sound is hardly pop. Just because they have a huge amount of success and are liked by the general public, doesn't make them any worse of a band. I'm waiting for their new album to pass judgement. If they take a route that betrays their musical talents so that they can continue to be liked by everyone, then I'll agree with you.

i think it does make them a worse band. you know, bands just dont accidentally get popular, it takes alot of pushing by the record label, etc, and if they were in on it then they are sick soulless pigs, and if they werent in on it, then they are ignorant idiots for putting their careers into the hands of their record label.

<< Creed
Limp Bizkit
Most rap
Blink 182
All boy bands
All teen girl singers
Green Day
Linkin Park
Papa Roach
>>



I more or less agree with that, except Papa Roach is good sometimes. Creed is terrible, and Limp Bizkit would be great if Fred Durst would leave. Blink, Green Day, and all other punk is crap IMO.

i hate any band which foregoes the love of music for the love of money!

And Dave Matthews Band gets listed twice, cuz i hate that guy twice as much as any other band. Hey Dave, try going sober for a day!

That's funny...when I read the title of the thread the first band that popped to my mind was Disturbed. To see them at the top of your list was great!

2 Bands without a doubt make my list:

311
Collective Soul

And how some of you can even list Saliva perturbs me... they play some of the best raw rock that I've heard in a long time. Have you even listened to &quot;Your Disease?&quot;

I know its cool to have a band that you really like that no one has heard of, but how would you like being on the road for months at a time, coming home to crusty apartment and having no money?! I don't like teenyboppers or MTV, but I can't blame a band for wanting to make some cash. Besides, there are many great bands from days of old that sold millions of records and no one cares about that now, they remember those bands for the great music. Also, when they signed a record deal, promotion is part of the package. A record company isn't going to spend thousands of dollars on a record, and then just sit there and watch it do squat at sales. They need to make their money back, and to do that, they have to promote the band, even if the band doesn't want to be a teeny-bopper favorite on TRL. Finally, if you don't like teenyboppers and TRL, don't watch it! I never watch that godawful show, I just listen to what I like and don't worry about who else is listening.

I hope very much that someone new comes along and shakes things up, because rock at this point, as a mainstream art form, is basically dead. Nearly everyone popular is borderline useless, and will be totally forgotten in five years. IMO Radiohead is the only big band doing anything remotely interesting anymore. There's lots of good underground rock and rap, but it seems much more difficult to find than it used to be.

So, heh, rather than listing poor bands, let's just say that if they're on the radio or MTV, chances are very very good that they suck. All the crap-ass metal (Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, 8 million other faceless bands), crap-ass pop (Britney, Christina, the usual suspects), crap-ass mainstream rap (Nelly, Puffy, etc.), crap-ass Pearl Jam-wannabes (Creed, 14 doors down or whatever, etc.), crap-ass pop punk (Blink 182, etc.), and crap-ass jam bands (Dave Matthews, etc.)...it's all worthless. Worthless, I tell you!

Joey Ramone dying was the last straw. I wish all you damn 18-year-olds would get busy and produce another Kurt Cobain. Except without the suicide. Get crackin'!

I like all kinds of music, but the one band that makes me change the radio station quickest has to be Creed.

It's between Limp Bizkit and Matchbox 20. They are both outright repugnant.

I can tolerate most rock... however I absolutely HATE POP. God almightly please kill them all. UGH! :| I hate the whiney bitchy voices and the gay uptempo beat. The woman dragged me to Moulin Rouge and I was nawing on my arm the entire time.

I could stand staind (ha) but not when they play Outside every 20 minutes on the one of the few decent radio stations in cincy.
