Bands that went to hell....

[iamwhatiseem]

Styx.
A band I thought of as legendary until Mr. Roboto on the Kilroy album.

And no one could convince DeYoung of this fact.
He had the idea to produce 30 minute long acts during concerts and even when the crowd was loudly booing and throwing objects he still maintained it was awesome.

BLASPHEMER!

They never went to Hell!

Rolling Stones, IMHO, is the greatest overrated band in history.
I say that with their album Some Girls is one of my all time favorites.
If people hear Rolling Stones on the radio, to this day, virtually all of it is off of one of three albums...
Some Girls 1978
Black and blue 1976
Tattoo You 1981
Other than those three albums, everything else may have had one minor hit with the rest of the album - pure junk.

The Stones have produced some great stuff but unless you're up there in age & remember what they were doing going back to the 60's you don't hear it because FM radio sucks to high heaven with a playlist that hasen't changed practically in 20 years & a good percentage of it is overplayed crap from the likes of Boston, Aerosmith & Journey. I do a lot of driving & I never listen to FM anymore because it blows.

Our local classic rock station suffers that. It's like these bands all had three songs since that is all the radio will play.
Those same songs will play several times a day also.

Sorry to the Queen fans, but if I hear Bohemian Rhapsody one more time, I just might lose my shit.

We Built this City...

Crap. Not too long after Slick got canned for being out of her mind most of the time shitfacd on booze.

 

[Clipper]

Ooh ooh ooh

Can't forget Jefferson Airplane...

The best thing about the Airplane was Jorma Kaukonen & Jack Casady forming Hot Tuna. Casady was one of the greatest bass players who ever lived.

Personally, to me Queen sucked.

Lol, the 80s where music went to die. Good romcoms though.

Van Morrison said it best- "it's all been done before".

but they never recreated Toys in the Attic and Rocks.

Why on earth would you want them to?

If I want to listen to an artist rehash their old music on new albums I'll listen to Nickelback.

I want to hear something that sounds different, even if it's not the best a band has ever done. Being critical of Aerosmith for not "recreating" "Toys In The Attic" is silly. It's one of the greatest rock albums ever produced. A relative few albums ever get referred to as such.

Is "Janie's Got A Gun" as good as "Walk This Way"? Yeah, probably not. But that doesn't mean it's a bad song...

 

[Canon Shooter]

Grateful Dead had some good songs, but the "Legendary Status" they have - yeah... no.

Their "legendary" status comes from far more than their music...

Janie's got a gun is a horrible song. If Tyler wanted to make a song that highlights his aging voice - this was the right song for that.
It is also too poppy and corny.
And when I said recreating Toys in the Attic etc. I thought it was pretty clear I was referring to the QUALITY of the music, not rehashing the same stuff, with half the song singing the chorus lines over and over and over.
In Jamie's got a gun - they said that line 16 times. Toys in the Attic - 8. Last Child - 6.
Modern Aerosmith is like filler songs. Throw something together and repeat the tempo 12 times.

Well, it hit #4 on the Billboard 100, so there's no shortage of people who disagree with you...

Yeah and loud orange/yellow plaid wallpaper use to be very popular in kitchens. Didn't change the fact it looked like hell.
Also... the Kardashians have some of the highest followers in the world on social media... so what the majority likes is, in no way, an indication of quality.

Absolutely.

But we're talking about nothing more than opinions here, and the fact remains is that your opinion seems to be a bit outweighed...

if I hear that one crappy eurhymics song again I will throw up...ban it

 

[Devils_Advocate]

Queen.

Freddie Mercury was the voice of that bad. When he died, that was the end.

I mean... Adam fucking Lambert? Really? What a fucking poseur...

There is no Wueen without Freddy!

When Rose stepped in for AC/DC I almost took pencils and punctured my ears!

Ever listen to their Swedish wannabe’s?

Roxette!

Janie's got a gun is a horrible song.

Why?

What makes it a "horrible" song?

If Tyler wanted to make a song that highlights his aging voice - this was the right song for that.
It is also too poppy and corny.

What makes a "good" voice?

I say he sounded fine on "Janie's got a gun."

And when I said recreating Toys in the Attic etc. I thought it was pretty clear I was referring to the QUALITY of the music, not rehashing the same stuff, with half the song singing the chorus lines over and over and over.

LOL

What makes music "quality?"

If you're looking for musical quality, you might try "Yes," or "Kansas."

KISS

But KISS sucked right from the start...
