so, i thought i would start this thread in addition to the NOTING thread.

my vote - any record by the greatful dead is worth nothing.

ringo star's solo albums are worth very little

john frusciante's solo albums are absolutely worth zilch.

dammit i spelled albums wrong.

Anything by Phish. No offense JC, but Phish sucks.

A little off topic, but anything by:
Train
Creed
Emo, in general
Pink Floyd: Anything post-Wall. Though I don't even like the Wall much, it is worth more than crap.
Hives: Pre-Veni Vidi Vicious
Grateful Dead
Cher - Any era
Aerosmith
Scorpions
2nd Ace of Base Album
Dave Matthews - Everything but the 1st album.
Recent Hootie & the Blowfish
Jam music, in general
Lynyrd Skynyrd after the first death
Molly Hatchet
Creedence Clearwater Revival, or any band with Revival in it's name, for that matter. Hurricane Mills Revival, blah!

This is an excellent topic.

(Edited by richarddawson at 5:39 pm on Jun. 11, 2003)

agreed. To Record Only Water For Ten Days or whatever the hell he called it was regarded as a comedy album in my last apartment.

my picks:
Metallica after the black album (i have debated whether the black album should be included in this, but I tend to like the black album alright)
anything by Tantric
Creed after My Own Prison (i like My Own Prison for the most part)
Snoop Dog presents Tha East Sidaz
the new incarnation of The Misfits (Jerry Only should be shot.)

I'm also gonna agree with RD and say that Jam Band music is horrid.

i, too, like the black album by metallica.

but after that, pretty crapfully.

paula abdul. worth zero.

In context, I enjoy those occasionally...especially my favorite song from it all, "Your Pussy Is Glued to a Burning Building"

I agree largely with RD's list.

I was listening to the first album, The Sign, today after a certain lw and I talked about how we wanted to cover "The Sign" if we were ever in a (another for him) band (or in separate bands...whatever) last night. The 2nd Ace of Base album was a let down, I'm afraid. I do own it, but that's b/c I worked out to It's a Beautiful Life the summer between 7th grade and 8th grade. That song helped me lose 25 pounds, so it is relevant while the rest of the CD is irrelevant.

And, Creed fucking blows. Let me get a list together, and I shall return.

I traded my copy to a girl in seventh grade for the first Weezer album. Looks like the joke's on me.

i hate david gray
sugar ray
melissa etheridge
and de novo dahl

how can you even put those 4 in the same category?????

david gray, while he may not be everyone's favorite, is an undeniably good song writer.

de novo dahl is a fucking awesoime band and god knows how many people on this board will back me up on this, if only in their hearts...

even the middle two can't be compared to each other...i mean, sugar ray sucks ass, and mellissa etheridge doesn't put out my kind of music, but she IS a good songwriter.
not to mention the fact that she is an open lesbian which has paved the way for many show business dykes to make music freely.
. . .

which makes me happy.

Sugar Ray's first album (Lemonade and Brownies) is bad-ass-- which just makes me hate their more recent albums even more.

And good call on De Novo Suck.

I don't know, SoS, De Novo Dahl is pretty bad. Terrible songs, not to mention that they're all jerks...

my mistake. i didn't know they were jerks. "fucking awesome band" is a little extreme; i was drunk when i posted that. but i still stand by that i dig their music.

Yo, I'm just kidding girl! I can't go on demeaning someone's character like that, not to mention muddying the water and giving people wrong pre-conceptions - the people in De Novo Dahl are some of the nicest I have ever met, no joke. I was kidding about the songs, too. I'm such a softie and a bad liar.

(Edited by jamiecarroll at 11:51 am on Jun. 15, 2003)

i would just like to say FUCK YOU to limp bizkit.

the reason i put them in the same list was to show the deversity of suckiness. as far as paving the way for music dykes - well there are plenty of others who actually make good music. if martin luther king had been in a shitty band i would give him props for the civil rights movement, but he still would be in a crappy band

david gray is not a good song writer

and as far as de novo dahl goes - to each - their own

good call.

as far as de novo dahl goes, im sticking to my "they're great" philosophy and i am still in retraction of my "fucking awesome band" comment. i do tend to get extreme when i get drunk. and im not a poseur. just fyi.

Albums worth nothing but for which i paid something:
Billy Bob Thornton -My Private Radio (I knew it would be bad but i just had to know what kind of bad)
Psychotica -Espi'na (Their first album is still a guity pleasure)
R.E.M. -Up and Reveal (Actually I tried to find virtue in these but to no avail)*
Duran Duran -Pop Trash (Classic eighties to....I don't even know)
White Zombie-Astrocreep 2000 (Instant regret)


*edit-Up and Reveal have ceased to suck.

Welcom to our ranks, R.

I didn't know Billy Bob released an album. I'm always curious to hear things I know will be terrible, and I am intrigued about this.

There is stuff that is bad. Then there is stuff that is so bad it is entertaining. Billy Bob actually goes beyond that level and goes all the way back around to just being bad again.

I hate to do this, but I have to... The black album is my least favorite Metallica album. Why, you ask? Because when your mother likes it more than you do, there's something wrong. Granted, my mom is young, but holy shit.

I love the early thrashy stuff, and I love the Load-era stuff. It's great if you can accept it for what it is: a heavy (not double-bass, weedily deedily solo heavy), riff rocking punch in the face of those who think they have this band figured out.

That said, Re-Load was a disappointment, because it didn't really take the listener to a new place like Load did.

Sorry for the rant.

Signed,
Johnny Thunder, Metallica fan since 1985.

Billy Bob Thornton is playing at The Trap soon.

Thanks for the welcome, YDDD.

Keanu reeves band dogstar sucks..

As do The Bacon Brothers, in my opinion. But, you know, I'm not a bacon fan.

I'm a pretty picky person when it comes to music, so I could name quite a few....anything by Justin Timberlake, Creed, Staind, Nickelback/creek or whatever they're called (and the like of those awful bands that all sound the same), and Van Halen ( I know there will be some arguments on this one, but I just can't take that junk).

Oh, yes. Good call. I cannot stand to hear one word of that junk. Oh, how I hate (among eveyr single one of their songs) Proud Mary and Susie Q, that cursed song.

I want to take this opportunity to mention my hatred for anything soul or motown related. Specifically, anything involving Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, and all those women. "Respect" is in my top three most hated songs of all time.

My ears weep for this blasphemy. You know, as much as much as ears can weep. I demand you take this back in the name of Marvin Gaye, god rest his soul.

Oh, and "R. Salvatore", tell me you're not named for J.R.R. Tolkien plagiarist R.A. Salvatore. Please

(Edited by Ceeze at 2:20 am on Jun. 19, 2003)

there are some records and/ or artists that are so badd, they don't need mentioning . .. ie justin timberlake... however he WAS mentioned. so i guess that blows that theory.

it seems to me...bands like creed, hootie and the blowfish, new kids on the block (despite their sentimental value), ya know, why bother.

its a well known fact that ace of bass sucks. 'tis also a well known fact that pretty much any solo career launched by someone formerly in a highly successful boy/ girl band is going to suck. the only exception being michael jackons of the jackons 5, and honestly, look what hapened to him . . .

Creedence I can understand. I can take them in small doses.

I think your soulful hatred of soul (I am still the pun KING) is interesting. Any reason that you feel this way?? I'm not really an Aretha fan, but I like the vast ajority of it.

Sadie, nooooooooooo. Please, take that back. I know you don't mean it.

Whoa, people, don't get your panties in a wad. But, I mean it. Ray Davies can tell you how much I hate that stuff. I don't know why I dislike it so much. Maybe the word "anything" was an exaggeration. There might be two or three songs I can tolerate. I think the reason I hate "Respect" so much is because it's used as a female anthem, and stupid females try to use it to get across the "Women rule, Men suck" idea that I completely disagree with. If there's one thing I cannot take, it's the idea that men have to have a song sung to them to show women respect.

I believe my hatred, or extreme disliking, of motown stems from a second grade performance where I had to sing backup for the entire thing. I had to sing all of those songs over and over again, and I hated them all by the time it was over. Every time I hear "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay", "Dancin' in the Street", or any song in the genre, I think of the second grade...and of course, I hated school then, like I do now, so I don't like to think about those times.

I don't know why I hate soul so much. But, to confront Ceeze's comment, I have no problem with Marvin Gaye. I guess I should restrict my extreme hatred for soul to the female sector of it.

And, I'm sorry, Stalker, for mentioning the obvious. When someone mentioned Limp Bizkit and the like earlier, I figured it was okay for me to mention the obvious since they did.

that's a lovely story. it's all clear to me now...or should i say, i can see clearly now...

yeah, sadie, youre on my bad list now. and im putting the beatles on it too because it seems to be the only band that you like and now i just associate them with you and your hatred for motown. see how irrational that was? its almost as irrational as calling "sittin on the dock of the bay" motown.

sadie, you really need to watch "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" when it comes out on video. If it doesn't change your mind, you might want to question your sanity. Listen to that rhythm section!

shadows of motown is out on video
diana ross is one of the best female recording artists ever (supremes era)
smokey robinson is one of the best song writers of all time
and the motown band is the most accomplished band in recording history, as you will find if you watch the movie mr. sadie

i will agree that ccr is crap, but i would also like to add post beatles mccartney - excluding his production work for badfinger, and the songs he wrote with elvis costello

soul rules!

Before I saw that documentary, I had no idea that the same guys were playing on all of those records. I had always said that Motown had some amazing bass players. But after watching it and realizing that it was (mostly) all one man, James Jamerson instantly became my favorite bass player of all time.

i'm afraid of what might happen when sadie sees all this...

Who claimed rationale was even an issue in this case?

Sadie is entitled to her own opinion, just like everybody else. To me, hearing Motown is like drinking a cold glass of lemonade on a hot day. For others, it obviously is just not that way. In my opinion, the Doors suck, and a lot of people would call that blasphemy.

the doors suck half the time and are bad ass the other half. jim should have stayed away from the blues

Well, this is nice. Excuse me while I go question my sanity and listen to The Beatles, since they are the only band I ever listen to...oh, except for post Beatles McCartney....I guess that makes two bands I listen to.

dear everyone,

later i'm going to string sexy sadie up from the old oak tree and stone her to death. with really big stones. the stones will have the names of great motown and soul artists written on them. aretha franklin is guest speaking. the official name of the event is "the stoning of someone that doesn't like all the same types of music as you do." see you there!

me?

Well, who cares what you think?

It is a completely rational reason. I can't listen to certain songs without recalling a time period in my life. If said period wasn't a good one, the song is tainted. It's perfectly logical and happens to a lot of people.

So

Hey can we stone a few Rammstein fans as well? pretty please?

did i mention that the beatles and the stones would have never even happened had it not been for soul music, but stoning someone for their lack of taste, that's a little much.

you misread what i said.

I misread what you typed.

i vote for some new more animated smilies

like.. one beating his head against a wall. that one would get used a lot.

yes, i was thinking the same exact thing yesterday when i stumbled into the white stripes board (if you can even stuble into such a thing) nonetheless, they have prolly 20 smilies to choose from and strangly enough, they weren't all slightly different variations of the walmart smile.

but you can say something in writing.

Okay you two. Sit down, take a breath, read what you've said to one another, and just try and imagine justifying it to anyone as legitimate discourse...

Will

I'll "discourse you", you son of a bitch.

Dern fancy colige guy usin all dem biggun words, like i dern no what a dern discourse is. Makin' me feel all dum dum...

why?

neither of us were even worked up, i think.

That's what you think...and it's what I think...

Wiyum's just noticed the lack of controversy on the board lately and is trying to stir some up I bet...

i thought thats what you were trying to accomplish by being pointlessly nitpicky with her post. now i know you knew no good could come of doing that.

pardon the sass, i get cranky when theres nothing to talk about.

(Edited by rachel at 10:21 pm on Jun. 22, 2003)

Is HeyLulu back?

Will

Fair enough, but that was coming. In either case, both of you were being so nitpicky I couldn't believe that the two of you were both over the age of four. I mean, arguing over the semantics on "said" versus "typed"... Is the summer really this boring?

Will

What is this? You starting over Rach? Not happy with the top ten?

Will

Geez, I was just joking.

Of course, now we're arguing over whether we were arguing or not. Screw this! Everyone go see "From Justin to Kelly" right now! It's amazing!

1 - i love when people call me rach
2- yep. top ten was just fine. ive always hated the numbers so when i made this to try to log on i kept it.
3- theres no way im spending 8 bucks on that movie. however, if youd like to sneak me in.. i might give it a shot.

Yeah, I have to clarify that I DID NOT PAY to see it. The people that did pay to see it were very odd...an elderly married couple, a middle-aged couple and their extremely rambunctious daughter, and two pre-teen boys.

It is worth renting on VHS for, like, $3 if that's possible.

Okay, so its I that need lighten up...

Summer boredom... an amazing thing.

Will

Wow... It seems that the everyone in the population who went to see this movie attended your theatre, DS!

god, we were just joking. it seems like everyone but you knew that digsy and i are best friends and we like to pick on each other because we are secretly in love.

I would like to thank everyone involved in this conversation (or I am I allowed to call a transcribed dialoge a "conversation"?). It has been very entertaining.

Hey, that's Sina's little man you're talking about !

yesss now i have a reason to fight her!


pick me digsy! pick me!!!

ooo la la. a love triangle! we are one step closer to the message board soap opera!

Who says I have to pick? I can get up to 3 people into the movies for free, meaning I can have 3 ladies. Oooh yeah...

soul rules and so do the beatles
..im torn.

part one of sadie's tragic army of MB mmbers

I'd love to oblige you, Ceeze, but that's exactly what it is.
