Anyone who listens to Simple Plan and Green Day hasn't listened to Green Day's earlier work.

[laurita_21]

Err Im pretty sure I have...

[NeverTooLate]

Nirvana :P

[BOBBY HILL]

Err Im pretty sure I have...

list some stuff then

[Amnesiac]

Metallica and the Beatles are tied. Neither of them will be #1 on their own.

Definitely Avenged Sevenfold, used to be Metallica but whatever to that.....AVEGNED SEVENFOLD FTW!

Avenged Sevenfold is good... but not THAT good.

[deadpie]

Everyone's favorite bands are mainstream or dadcore. How sad.


Porcupine Tree.

[Perseus]

My favorite band is Iron Maiden, with a close second of Machine Men.

[Amnesiac]

I'm just getting into Maiden, can you (or anybody else) recommend any good/essential albums?

I don't think popularity changes how good music sounds. No, AutoTune and computer generated instruments do that.

Music can still be good even if it's not underground :rolleyes:

[Sugaree]

porcupine tree.

Certainly. Try Piece of Mind and Somewhere in Time. If you like those, you can then try Dance of Death. All of their albums are good. :P Their newest album has blown me away because of how amazing it is.

Kurt Cobain is no genius. He didn't do stuff like this.
YGxboHo-cL0
This song is better than any Nirvana song combined. True, this song is not revolutionary, but Nirvana wasn't.

[deadpie]

Ok, Kurt Cobain made really good music, but he's not a "fucking genius". People think his music is original, but that's such bullshit. He was inspired off of Noise Rock and musicians like PJ Harvey, Jesus Lizard, and Swans. He didn't start anything that wasn't done before by a hundred other bands before Nirvana, you just don't know that because those bands were underground.

And define "real music".

[Obscene Eyedeas]

A toss up between porcupine tree and NIN. can't really pick

[Perseus]

Wah? Huh? Where did the posts go?

Porcupine Tree.

YEssss porcupine tree. BUT John Butler is neither mainstream or dadcore and he and his trio are by far the best musicians listend

[deadpie]

Steven Wilson kicks ass. He's a multi instrumentalist and has six different projects - Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, No-Man, Incredible Expanding Mindfuck, Blackfield, and Bass Communion. The guy is a musical genius and always comes up with more amazing shit.

[Rutherford The Brave]

I know that for sure, but as much as I like him he just can't compare its a whole different level of musical prowess that seperates the two. Dont get me wrong Steve Wilson is a genius, I fucking love him.

[deadpie]

That's cool I guess. It's just Steven Wilson plays a various amounts of genre's - Avant Garde, Psychedelic, Progressive Rock, Ambient, Drone, Art Rock, Shoegaze, and Dream Pop.

Toby Driver of Kayo Dot is another really good multi-musician I appreciate (Kayo Dot, Tartar Lamb, Maudlin Of The Well, and Gregor Samsa).

Trent Reznor was my favorite musician growing up. He's still one of my favorites, but Steven Wilson has been replacing him for the moments.


Of course I'd throw John Zorn and John Coltrane for my favorite saxophonists.

[Ender]

tieeee

Metallica, Beatles, RHCP, Foo Fighters

Actually I have, I own them both. They both suck. Green Day is not good. As much as you argue it. They play with heavy distortion, They mess up frequently on live shows. Their lyrics are shit. Honestly, I could probably think of 50 bands off the top of my head who could put them to shame. Note to you. I have over 100k songs... I have listened to Green Day and my opinion is based off having listened to them.

I'm not the only one too. They are so bad they are on a list of artists I've removed from my ipod. Along with Journey.

Journey is just bad... Always have been, always will be.

Avenged Sevenfold is good... but not THAT good.

I used to listen to Metallica hard core....really hard core. I even ended up buying all kinds of posters and DVDs and such, I just listened to their stuff so much I wore it out lol. They are still good though, no doubt about it.

Yeah, I don't wear out on bands easily though. Before Metallica I'd been listening to the Beatles for YEARS, without getting tired of them. Now I listen to twice as much Metallica as Beatles, and I'm getting into other thrash bands like Slayer and Megadeth, as well as prog rock bands like Muse and Rush.

[Rutherford The Brave]

Trust me, I'm not comparing Iron Maiden to Green Day, they're both different genres, Iron maiden focuses on Guitar Solos and shit. but Green Day has a lot more experience then Paramore does. Paramore formed in 2004, Green Day formed in 1987, Green Day has been releasing music since 1989, Paramore releasing music since 2005, Green has sold over 70 million albums, Green Day has more experience, it's just not debatable, I'm not saying Green Day is the best band in the world, but yes you have to admit that they are at least some what good to be as successful as they are.

[josh93]

Yes, has been releasing albums since the late sixties. I can come up with band that still releases after a long time. Oh yeah they are twice as good as green day too. What a suprise.

I know you're not comparing I.M and G.D. It's just Greenday is not good. They do not have experience. Your guitar skills should improve, not stay on powerchords like Greenday does. And just because they're successful does not mean they're good. I will not lie, though. Some of their stuff is catchy, but Paramore is better than Greenday because their riffs, if you want to call them that, are more ear pleasing, if you will, and so is their singer.

[BOBBY HILL]

I know, but im talking about Paramore and Green Day and yea, Iron Maiden is prob more musicly talented then Green Day

Comparing Green Day to a band like Iron Maiden, well yeah, Green Day doesnt really stand a chance, but if you compare Green Day to some bubble gum pop punk band like Paramore, Green Day wins.

Neither win, since they are so bad. In comparison to other great bands.

Okay ive learned the fact that you dont like Green Day, but whats songs have you listened to by them? Cause Green Day has some incredibly catchy riffs like One Of My Lies, Welcome To Paradise, Android, etc

[Perseus]

My friend loves them(not as much now as he used to). I've heard Welcome to Paradise, Wake Me Up When September Ends, American Idiot, that Jesus song, and I can't think of what else. He made me listen to a whole album once, too. 1 21 Guns, a song despise because of its lack of creativity and Know Your Enemy is the same with 1 21 Guns o'er there.

Ahh, all those songs are either singles or off of American Idiot, And 21st century breakdown, and those 2 albums arent their greatest. Albums like Dookie and Kerplunk have complex guitar riffs and strumming, but i give up trying to convince you tbh

[I.J.]

Oooh hard one... well I guess right now my favorite band is Interpol..:)

[Aves]

Rise Against

[Vandaar]

they'll prob wont even be on the billboards or mtv a few years from now

[Triceratops]

Why is Paramore bad? Give one legit reason.

Oh, I can reel off a list of legit reasons, but since you asked for one, I'll give you one: her whiny voice is so sickeningly average (if that), there's nothing particularly special about how they've thought out and performed their instruments (to me, it just sounds like rhythms from a mundane pop song), absolutely nothing interesting or exceptional about their lyrical content (my 6 year old cousin writes much more appealing poems about racing cars than Paramore writes words to their generic songs). They are not influential (if you think that then you must have a neurological disorder) in the slightest, and their supposed "musikal [email protected]!!11" don't outshine any of the GOOD bands that've crafted their music and lycial content extremely well.

Oh wait, that's - let me count - 5 legit reasons, in the form of a paragraph.

I agree with you on the everything but her voice. I like her voice, but their music isn't inspirational or anything. They're a fun band to listen to. They are no where near exceptional status at all.

All Time Low's up there with Rise Against for me now. Same with Pink Floyd.

[Ghost_Hunter]

My favorite band is definitely Blessid Union of Souls with Nickelback and Simple Plan close behind. I like Blessid more though. Most people don't know of them though. They're pretty underrated. They did play the song from the Pokemon movie when the Pokemon were fighting their clones("Brother My Brother").

[Daniel_]

I love Nickelback(:

[Patchy]

My all time favourite band would have to be Queen.

I have a lot of favourite bands that are more recent like Kings of Leon though.

[pageplant77]

Led Zeppelin! hands down. Although I like a lot of bands.
The Beatles
AC/DC
CCR
Aerosmith
Metallica
SOAD
Rammstein
RHCP

I love Nickelback(:
