The "I don't get it" thread

[gutter]

Alicia Keys
Nelly Furtado
The Corrs
Jennifer Lopez
Creed
3 Doors Down
Radiohead
Sheryl Crow

Please feel free to defend any of them. I consider them below average, a few average at best, but hardly 5 time grammy winners. Utter nonsense.

I like Nelly Furtado. It's not hard core music but not everything's dedicated to headbanging, same with Sheryl Crow. It depends on the song, of course, but there's a lot from both that are good.

Nelly actually is interesting partly because it's just new and different. It's pop I can listen to without having to think it's bubblegum or prefab. It might be, but I like it regardless.

Alicia Keys isn't put out there for you. You wouldn't get that anyway. She's talented, but they overplay her stuff and soul/R&B in a slow format just doesn't have a long shelf life. She needs to put out a decent song to funk around with or she's going to fall off the face of the earth.

Nelly Furtado - hot (downside - she's Canadian)
Alicia Keys - hot..sortof (downside) - seems like a stuck up biatch
J Lo - nice ass (downside - P Diddy Railed her)
Coors - hot (Downside - the dude in Coors)
Sheryl Crow - inconsistently hot (downside - duet with Kid Rock)
Radiohead - The Bends(95)is a great CD (downside - the rest of their music blows.)

Alicia Keys - I'd do her
Nelly Furtado - I'd do her
The Corrs - I'd do the women
Jennifer Lopez - I'd do her
Creed - get lost bozos
3 Doors Down - allright but not great
Radiohead - fuck off
Sheryl Crow - I'd do her

dudes, you are too funny! gutter asked a legitimate Q. so here's my response to that.

i dont get j. lopez! i agree with you on that j.lo call, gutter. alicia keys, i dont know bout her. that diva type voice gives me goosebumps and i dont like it. all that wailing is too show-offy!mtv used to play her alot. maybe they still do, i quit watching.

to each his own, i say. corrs are alright. but not enough for me to actually spend money on.

three doors down: hmmm, too much cliche's on the lyrics. way too much. however, "loser" is good, and so is "kryptonite"

just rediscovered sheryl crow...and that canadian chick. i like their stuff. dont know enuf to critique.

creed, i can listen to. actually bought both their albums. i think they only have two.

I think Creed was needed because there's not enough rock out there that's without white boy rap influences. I can deal fine with rap and honest tweaking by r&B artists of rock, but not rapmetal.

I don't like the way Creed got big but some of their music was allright. The problem is that there just isn't anything else in the rock mainstream that appeals to the general public. Since there isn't, there's saturation of Creed, and that gets old quick.

Who spends money? I haven't bought but maybe 2 CD's since Napster came out and now I steal all my stuff from Morpheus/Kazaa and make my own CD's.

I HATE LED ZEPELIN. OVERPLAYED AND OVER-RATED. AND MAG, IT'S NOT ALL HEADBANGING FOR ME. YES, I LIKE METAL AND PUNK ABOVE ALL ELSE, BUT I ALSO LIKE DIDO, CCR, FLAT AND SCRUGGS, BLUES TRAVELERS, EDWIN MCCAIN, AND OTHER STUFF. IT'S JUST THAT THE DAMN MTV, MEDIA, WHOEVER WILL OOOH AND AHHH OVER PURE CRAP. THE GUY FROM CREED CAN'T BE ANY MORE ANNOYING TO WATCH PERFORM. THEIR MUSIC IS SO GENERIC. IT'S BEEN DONE A MILLION TIMES. THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE LIKE THEM IS BECAUSE THE BAND HAS INNER TURMOIL AND HE'S CUTE. IT JUST TAKES A LOT MORE TO IMPRESS ME MUSICALY THAN P DIDDY RIPPING EVERYONE OFF.


OH, AND TO PISS SOME OF YOU OFF, THE DEAD SUX, PHISH SUX WORSE, THE ROLLING STONES NEVER MADE A DECENT SONG, AND NIRVANA MAY WELL BE THE MOST OVERRATED BAND ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET. THERE, I SAID IT.
