Once again, we completely agree....

The white Stripes are beyond simple... There may be an interesting underlying message in some of their songs, but the beat structure, Lyrics, and guitar work are rediculously basic..... I can't see any reason to listen to it..... Now, some of you may say, "It's catchy" or "It makes my head bop", but you just have to realise, I don't look for such things in music... Just my opinion....
So something has to be complex to be good? Some of the best music is very simple. The White Stripes are very good.

I guess it all comes down to taste, so it's pointless in arguing.
 
Shannon
Nirvana - You Know You're Right

Best Nirvana song ever. Period.
Seriously? I figured that was one of the worst songs they ever released.

Heart Shaped Box, now that is a good Nirvana tune.

I'm listening to the White Stripes.
 
Sonic Boom, on Q101 (101.1 Chicago). It's commercial-free techno. (I'm not too big of a techno fan, though, but it is soothing.)
 
more sonic boom, I think it's ben on the same song for like 10 minutes.... 13000! w00t!

IMO, music needs a certain level of complexity..... This doesn't mean the song has to be really complex, or fast, in fact a good dynamic song is deceptively simple...... It just means it needs a certain level of originality, in the music, and/or lyrics..... The white Stripes have some originality in the lyrics (however trite), but the riffs, drum work, and song structures are too basic for my taste..... As I said before... If you like really simple music, then fine.... I just get tired of hearing the same thing over, and over again.....

As you so rightly said,

"I guess it all comes down to taste"

Very true....

I hear "The Reason" by Hoobastank playing somewhere in the background...
 
MXPX - My Life Story

**** me, please. Why did I ever like these guys? They're awful. They sound like a slightly less commercial Sum 41/Blink 182/Good Charlotte.

Delete.
 
Allister - Somehwere On Fullerton
Brand New - The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows
Modest Mouse - Float On
The Killers - Somebody Told Me


My fan.

The best album of all time Hybrid theory by linkin park
Liking Linkin Park is fine, I enjoy listening to a couple of their songs myself. However, saying that their album is the best ever... :crazy:

RHCP - Under The Bridge
 
They Might Be Giants - Bangs

Talk about simple. Nevertheless I do like it. 👍


Edit: Now listening to Tom Lehrer - Smut

:D
