You deal with a larger group of people on the internet thats why. Its cool to hate when your a teenager, if its not what they like then it sucks.

I liked a few of their early songs. But then they all started being extremely repetitive and similar, and hence annoying.

Better than Limp Bizkit or Nickelback, granted, but how much is that really saying?

Exactly. All too often, the internet serves the purpose of a form of communication for millions of people who hide behind a monitor and a keyboard and talk trash...they can say whatever they want without any real fear of retaliation (other than someone else's words on a screen).

Angus plays the fiddle in ack-dac. You must mean dave evans, bon scott, or brian johnson.

I wonder how many albums back in black has sold to this date. That is one really good album IMO

Maybe, it's not the singer. Maybe, you just don't like that vocal style.

Hm.. well you insulted Linkin Park (which won't get you too many enemies around here) - but Radiohead is a different story - duck. And stay out of the music forums!

Hi,

I like all of the bands mentioned, and have a lot of their CD's. However, I do find AC/DC can grate , you have to be in the right mood. We all have varying tastes which is what music is all about.

I personaly don't like a lot of Hip Hop, but I wouldn't say it was crap, it's just not to my personal taste.

Incidentaly, Robert Plant rules.

John

Nope, you're wrong Actually, I find them pretty difficult to listen to. Nothing particularly memorable aboout the vocals (either the Stabbing Westward-ish screaming or the extreeeeeemely mundane rapping, which always uses the same three or four generic phrases). Guitarwise, no original tone at all, and the keyboard parts are getting lamer with every song that's released.

Well, I'm not saying that their use of vocals or guitar is groundbreakingly original, but if you listen to some of the songs of 'hail to the thief' for example, it is a style that you will not find elsewhere - which for me at least is originality... but I respect your opinion...

Agreed: I'm actually quite a big fan of Billy's work, but his voice can be extremly tedious on times. I compare it to Headphone Fatigue - enjoyable for a while once you've gotten used to his special 'whiny' style, then it gets annoying again...

and imo the last linkin park album sucked big time.

 

[phlippy22]

+1 Radiohead
+2 Thom Yorke (hes just awesome AND british)

+1 Billy Corgan

-5 Linkin Park

I'm with phlippy.
But I think Linkin Parks music is very trite at this point, the whole numetal thing or what not isnt up my alley. But even though i dont like the music i will agree that some sampling and DJ work on the latest album is superb and the only reason i give them any credit as a bad...also, does it take like 7 people on stage to make music that is that mediocre?
