Overrated: REM, Stone Roses, Nirvana.

There's nothing wrong with them .. I just don't believe they deserve their status as musical royalty, above criticism.

― Jez (Jez), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:30 (twenty years ago)

Wow, this thread is turning up some crazy, far-out thinking. What visionary genius!

― Amity Wong (noodle vague), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:36 (twenty years ago)

hey i got an idea - this is new - let's list bands & artists that are overrated - WITH ONE MISSING LETTER!!

the rolling stoes
elvis preley
bob dlan

i'm sure you'll think of more!!!

― Yawn (Wintermute), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:44 (twenty years ago)

lets rag on pink floyd and led zeppelin. maybe we could bash kelly clarkson too.

this thread could go a few ways. it could plummet to the bottom of the board and die its rightful death. it could turn into making fun of robin. someone could post a million images of pikachu shitting. Or it could turn in to a thread making fun of robin in which robin helps by thinking of more gems like "shit me a sandwhich".

― jmeister (jmeister), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

it won't plummet anywhere if you keep on po-... D'oh!

* jest: activity characterized by good humor
* antic: a ludicrous or grotesque act done for fun and amusement
* tell a joke; speak humorously; "He often jokes even when he appears serious"
* a triviality not to be taken seriously; "I regarded his campaign for mayor as a joke"

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Thursday, 8 December 2005 06:12 (twenty years ago)

This thread is JAPETASTIC!

Also, Alex is correct re: Patti Smith, but I disagree w/Michael Jackson (at least at this point in history) and substitute Aretha Franklin. And prepare for the resulting indignation.

Alex is correct re: Patti Smith

NO, ALEX IS NOT CORRECT RE: PATTI SMITH.

I AM TYPING THIS IN BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS FOR EASE OF COMPREHENSION, AND ALSO BECAUSE (AS ALEX KNOWS AND MAY EVEN HAVE BEEN THE FIRST TO DISCOVER) ANY STATEMENT APPEARING IN BOLD CAPITALS IS AUTOMATICALLY TRUE, MAKING ANY AND ALL EFFORTS AT ARGUMENT FUTILE.

anyone else think bob dylan's lyrics are sometimes OBSCURE FOR THE SAKE OF IT? who's with me?

― That one guy that quit, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

You learn things at the EMP Pop Conference. For instance, I did not know that rock T-shirts and posters were full of significance and meaning until I attended a panel this afternoon on "Iconography." Also, not being a mallrat, I had never heard of Hot Topic before but found out at the same panel that it's a mall retailer despised by the rock cognoscenti because it's not really punk, dammit!

In keeping with the general tone of the panel — i.e., finding deep meaning where there is none — there was also a paper on "American Idol" which postulated, shockingly enough, that all the contestants oversing! Who knew?

Of course, being a highfalutin intellectual talk-fest, the word "oversing" was never used, because it's too understandable. Oversinging was referred to as "melisma." Upping the intellectual quotient even more, Machiavelli's "The Prince" was cited because Idol "is political," according to panelist Katherine Meizel, a Ph.D. candidate on ethnomusicology at UC Santa Barbara. "It's an election, after all," she explained, to titters of laughter.

Michaelangelo Matos, a local rock writer who sometimes freelances for The Seattle Times, read his paper about Bob Marley posters on dorm room walls, without ever saying what he thinks of Marley's music, or its significance. His point seemed to be that "wasptafarians," or white college-age Marley fans, deserve to be sneered at because the only reggae artist they know is Marley, and they only like him because he smoked pot. It didn't seem to occur to Matos that maybe white male college students have Marley posters on their dorm-room walls because they actually like his music. There's probably an academic word for it, but I call it "good taste."

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

melisma != oversinging. melisma is very specific and quite well defined. i can't find a good definition of oversinging, but i suspect it contains melisma and other vocal 'tics'.

― Alan, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

They might be the greatest poetry ever written for all I know, I can't get past his awful voice and generic, repetative strumming.
