Jamboross Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 They are a stupid wee band who have only recently released their first album. I had the misfortune of seeing them support Fall Out Boy last year (yes I know, Fall Out Boy aren't exactly rock gods themselves) and they were terrible. Just noticed Jimmy Eat World languishing in 77th place, these kids wouldn't know a good band if they whacked them in the face with their guitars.

frankblack Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I am ashamed to admit that I used to read that rag along with Metal Hammer. I stopped reading it about 10 years ago since it downgraded its standards (and target readership age) to **** pop-punk bands like Fall Out Boy and crap Emo like MCR. I have Virgin TV + Broadband and used to watch the music channels like MTV 2 and Kerrang, but there is only so many times you can watch Smells Like Teen Spirit or Sweet Child Of Mine before losing interest. That poll that must have been compiled by 12 year olds, as the music taste shows clear immaturity and lack of knowledge of decent rock music. As a previous poster mentioned, you would expect a band like the Foo Fighters, who have just played Wembley Stadium twice, headlined all the decent rock festivals, and sold out the UK Arenas would be high up there. Obviously the people voting are too young to go to gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I'm now glad I dont listen to Kerrang if that is what it has come down to. So many EMO bands in the top 10 it is depressing, Evanescence for goodness sake is apparntly better than Led Zepplin, Queen, Metallica, Nirvanna, Guns' n' roses, The Who, The Clash etc. It does make you dispair. I think these top 100 lists should not include anything from within the last 3-5 years as most of these best ever include an over the top number of recent things which aren't that great. I remember channel 4 did a top 50 of comedy sketches and too many of the top 10 were little Britain sketches because it was big at that momment and tbh they were funny but not classic.

Jamboross Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Is this what your average pimpled youth aspires to in call centresall over the land? SAD! You're giving them a bit much credit there! Pimples? Most of these Kerrang kids haven't even reached puberty yet! What confuses me even more than MCR being first is 30STM being 2nd. This is a band that has released two albums in their 10 year existence, the first of which pretty seriously bombed, the second of which was released 3 years ago yet they still continue to tour the hell out of it, musically they are crap and if they weren't fronted by Jared Leto they would be no-where. To be fair though, the people who voted on this will probably discover better music as they get older. When I was 12/13 and started listening to 'rock' music it was the likes of Nickleback, Sum 41, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and so on, now 8 years on I wholly appreciate bands and artists who truly are the greats of their genres but I would never have discovered them if it wasn't for the popular bands at the time.

I met them after the gig where they supported Fall Out Boy, at least one of them was at Edinburgh Uni and was talking of dropping out just because they had a single in the charts, they were basically just your typical English yahs but slightly emo'd up and a bunch of tossers to boot.

Like shedloads of music myself(most if not all would be considered dubious by your "average" KBer nowadays) but takeing "rock" music as an example i think personally that guitar driven music was at its best when the "artists" had to innovate and engineer thier own specific sound without a heavy reliance on production(no pun intended) eg. AC/DC,UFO,Van Halen. Sure the production was there but this nearly always took a backseat to the guitarists talent, natural or otherwise, and his unique style of playing. Then you get freaks like Hendrix who could do both with ease but there is not many exceptions. Just get depressed knowing that these upstarts have been stuck in a studio riffing away till something passables "in the can" and the execs are happy. Did i mention im an old git!
