Bands that you can't understand why they're popular/famous?

[gillywibble]

Effervescence (or whatever their called)

Evanescence?

 

[marscay]

Nirvanna is another one me, amazing what shooting yourself can do for you. Ok they had a few good songs, but no different to a lot of other bands.

Yes because they were just a garage band before that

I can't figure out you're age from that comment ...either really young or really old - they were the kings of this little thing called 'grunge' which dominated the 90's..heard of it?

 

[samir_ansari]

it would be easier for me to list a whole load of bands who SHOULD be famous!

 

[p4radox]

and also:

SCOUTING FOR GIRLS?

anybody who stands up for them on this forum should be hit very hard

That's a good one actually.

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

Morbid Angel anyone? Don't get me wrong Altars of Madness is good, but their other stuff just seems weak... I feel I'll get lynched for that though

Yeah you were who I was thinking of

 

[Morgoth]

I'd agree with you, but they actually put on a decent show at T in the Park last year.

 

[antijoke]

Tokio Hotel

And I heard Kesha - Tick Tock AKA Dolla, on the radio today, oh my what a real pile of **** that song is! My ears were almost sick.

what did I say about the hard hitting?



but seriously, even if they were to hand out solid gold in a show to the crowd it still would not redeem their painful lack of personality

Just like to add that I've been listening to U2's discography on Spotify and it's changed my opinion, they have written some great tracks amid the mediocre/crap stuff.

My opinion of Slayer still stands though, sorry.

I would just like to add to the list:

Red Hot Chili Peppers
R.E.M
Foo Fighters

 

[teh_captain]

Foo Fighters

Er, what? You can't see how they've become famous?

I'm not a fan of their recent stuff, but There is Nothin Left to Lose, The Colour and the Shape and One by One are all amazing albums that everyone should own. Seriously.

 

[Deep]

Girls Allowed - liked by teenage girls etc

I like them and I am not a teenager, or a girl!
They make good catchy pop songs!

 

[Vonhelmet]

Girls Allowed - liked by teenage girls etc

This 27 year old man likes some of their tracks!

 

[Cuchulain]

I've just looked at the current UK top 40, I can safely say with the exception of one artist(s) (Chase & Status/Plan B) that I wouldn't give the steam off my **** to any of them if they were dying of thirst.

 

[Beasty]

Hadouken!

More like Hadouken?

 

[TheCoder]

Black eye peas,
