TBH I personally could careless how complex/talented music is I care more about how is sounds and what it does for my soul/adrenaline.

I listen to Hardcore/Punk it's not very intricate/technical music but it still gets me going so I like it.

And there wasn't much about the White Strips that was very technical musically but again the complexity of bands isn't what judges if I like them or not. Again I thought they were OK.

That was ****ing awesome.

Nice, as your statement about '90s music being "hilarious" is so eloquent and through that my hyperbolic statement about music today is obviously null. I said the '90s is the best decade (at least for rock and definitely for rap as well) because the popular music was grunge, which is far better than the ******** pop of most eras of music, along with a good slew of metal bands and a strong revival of prog rock/metal. If I wanted to see talentless musicians, I'll go to a local bar; it's really not the hard. I'm not going to shell out $15 for a CD...oh, that's right, you don't buy CDs anymore, you only use iTunes.

iTunes is another good reason for destroying the music industry.

Doesn't mean other decades sucked because there is a lot of good music from the '70s, no doubt about it.

always been partial to The Big Three Killed My Baby

The white stripes are the definition of average. No love, no hate. Just whatevs.

Inorite can't wait for that Creed reunion

my first thought too. instead of "white stripes break up" it should be " meg kicked off jack white's coat tails"

Nifty: The 90's where the best decade for rock because that the decade your (and I) were teenagers/early 20's. Not because it was actually more talented than it is today. Most Grunge is just massively slowed down punk. That has a lot of do with the fact that they were all doing heroin and that was just the vibe of Seattlem more slowed down life style than most major cities.

Its the same reason your parent's/relatives (well at least most of mine) think rock from the 70's/80's is the best.

7 Nation Army would make my top 10 songs of the decade list.

one of my favorite covers ever

"I heard George Harrison say the Beatles used to go to see Blackpool lights. What is that? A different place all together? I'm in the right place at the wrong time? That's how I feel everyday."

lets just turn this into the jack white love fest thread

And actually White Strips is probably the closest band of the decade to come close to reproducing the Grunge sound.

Truth.

False, I'm 19. I listen to all kinds of music. I just know what is good music and what is ******. Everyone else just blindly follows the trend.

Although, I do understand what you are saying. It is natural to like the music that comes from your decade.


Post-grunge, definitely not like other grunge bands. And the '90s wasn't just grunge.

All the hate for Creed is laughable since they have 3 multi-platinum albums, so obviously there were plenty of people enjoying their music.

Both gay times, the 50's and 60's and early 70's was the hight of rock and or roll.I'm a 90's kid and love that stuff but yea..

Anyway let's leave that convo for another topic/thread and let the white stripe love continue

Okay then, this helps explain your terrible posts about music.

Massive early 90s fan, and enjoy the white stripes a good amount too, but this can't be further from the truth.

(that's not implying that any band has really came close to capturing the grunge sound, just that the white stripes aren't really 'grunge' at all persay)

What are you? 25 and a hipster? Just gonna take a guess. Maybe explains your terrible taste in music.

Tell me who you think the greatest bassist of all time since the 1950s is (since we are talking about rock here and not jazz/blues), and then I can see where you are at with your musical tastes.

This explains everything.

DAMMIT CRACKA

this is not true

lol @ u

Yup, that should settle it.

You're right, if a lot of people--especially a lot of dumb people--like something, it automatically renders any opinion or criticism of that thing irrelevant. I will now also stop disliking Jeff Foxworthy and Hitler.

Thanks for helping me prove my point, obviously my opinion is just invalidated because lots of people like ****** bands like the White Stripes. If I were to say MJ was a terrible artist, lots of people would say that he sold an extremely high number of albums. Not trying to defend Creed, but they seem to be a scapegoat when they were a pretty damn successful band. Liking Hitler is a terrible example because you were at risk of being killed for disliking him.

There's clearly a few that are above the rest, and if he names one of them, then he has credibility. No way could I ask for a guitarist since that's basically an impossible question.


I respect Killa's wishes, so I am just going to stop talking. Don't need a bunch of fanbois and hipsters telling me that music today is so good when everyone and their mother can play it because it lacks technicality and originality.
