Would that make it Five Minutes to Midnight?

Which is actually a pretty good album

Oh damn. That's unfortunate. I guess I'll just throw away the CD then.

Yes, do. We have to make the world safe for Damnocracy.

Fixed. Ain't that right, Sebastian?

Have we reached the point where punk is somehow profound? If so I weep for our society.

Punk is just a sound of music, despite what people try to say. Any genre of music can be profound. It's up to the writer.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. But in the album they glorify punk to an extent, as in the subculture. And I don't think the subculture is in itself profound either.

Let alone that album in particular.

Yeah, I suppose.

Ohhhhhh let's see what I can finally get off my chest without being killed!

* U2. Right, Bono is our new prophet, that's cool. But where's the guitar? Where's the voice? Just when you think the song's going to pick up a bit of pace and energy, it's over... MEH

* Metallica - Kill 'em all. Don't get me wrong, I like Metallica (until the Black Album), and some songs on this album are great, but KEA still sounds a bit unorganized and "noisy" to me.

* Iron Maiden, the Dickinson Era. Once again, so many classic tracks, but Bruce's way of singing doesn't give me enough variety...

* R.E.M. 'cept a couple of songs they bore me to tears. And depress me as well.

* The Who - Tommy. Nice concept, it has Pinball Wizard, but it draaaaaags a lot.

* Every kind of crossover involving metal. Nu-metal, rap-metal, whatever-metal.... Why combine two perfectly good things to create a bad hybrid that won't satisfy either category of fans?

* Bob Dylan (and his peers, the Poets-Singers). ZZZZZZZZZ

Strapping Young Lad's "Alien"

[Joie De Vivre]

Born To Run (Bruce Springsteen)- I could never get into it, I had a few friends who were crazy about this album and they let me borrow it once but the only impression I got from it was that it was too over produced for my tastes. Except for maybe "She's the one" and "Born To Run", nothing stood out for me.

...And Justice For All (Metallica)- If it weren't for the bad mixing (might wanna kick back on the EQ guys), and the lack of Bass (which is more James Hetfields fault than anything else), this would probably be their best album IMO. Sonically, it sounds too processed (even by 80's standards) and it lacks any warmth compared to their previous albums.

2112 (Rush)- Probably their most recognizable album (besides Moving Pictures). Take away Lessons, The Twilight Zone (well... maybe not), and Tears, and I would hold it in a higher regard. Those songs get in the way of their more consistent moments (The title track, A Passage To Bangkok, and Something For Nothing).

Joshua Tree (U2)- The first 5 tracks are fantastic, but (I hate to say this) the radio singles are the best songs on here. The more obscure material is a too slow and plodding.

[tomass]

1) Metallica - St. Anger and the few equally crappy albums before it. I think no further explanation is necessary.

2) U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. I'm not a fan of dumbasses who make millions tell me that I dont' do enough to help stop world hunger.

3) Megadeth - Risk. Whoops I thought you guys were metal! At least they admitted that album sucked.

4) Any Linkin Park album. Seriously, these guys reak of pseudo-intellectual so much that it's simply unbearable.

5) Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death. Really weak sounding, I know these guys can do better. I liked DoD a lot more.

It doesn't piss me off that anyone enjoys something as long as I dont get exposed to it. With that said, I die a little any time I see someone getting an ignorant rap CD.

And before anyone starts yelling at me, what I consider "ignorant rap"

1 - Anything with a pot leaf on the cover
2 - Anything with someone scowling impossibly huge to show their ridiculous grill off
3 - Anything promoting violence
4 - Anything with skanky hoes on the cover

Beyond that, go for it.

Would The Chronic count as such?
That was a bloomin' onion of a masterpiece.

[The OP]

I'll back you up on that. I'm not much of a hip hop fan, but I was pretty impressed with The Chronic. It seems like he really put some work into it.

[Chucklehead,baby!!!]

hinder
anything by pearl jam(having vedder not give out the lyrics makes it worse)
U2
metallica for lettin ol' lars tell the world "downloading is wrong..................unless you pay us first"
john mayer again,anything by him. people obsess over a guy who doesnt have the looks and is a one hit wonder

[The OP]

I don't like Pearl Jam either. I just don't think they're good. Oh well.

[Brain Of F'n J]

I thought of six. I always have to break the rules, ya know.

1) Beck - "Odelay". For crying out loud, what is so "brilliant" about some marble-mouthed idiot with random lyrics mumbling over a drum machine and a tape loop? Can someone clue me in as to how a Bob Dylan-wannabe can blather on about nothing, and somehow get 100 million critics treating him like he's a musical Jesus?

2) Metallica - "Kill 'Em All". Metallica in the 80's ruled. This is just a fact of life. And as they refined their game in the eighties, the riffs got tighter, the singing got better and the lyrics got smarter. But if all you heard was this abortion of a debut album, you'd never know it. Hetfield sounds like a 7 year old, the sound is atrocious, and the lyrics are so inane, they make Trixter sound like Pink Floyd. Every song amounts to "We're Metallica, we're here to rock you!" Well, that's fantastic, guys. But you'll have to try harder then this generic Motley Crue record.

3) Slayer - "Reign In Blood". Yeah, I went there. Slayer is without a doubt the heaviest band that doesn't have a Cookie Monster singer. Their catalog is filled with classics. But this mess I just don't. Having none of the style of later albums like "Seasons In The Abyss" or "Diabolus In Musica", they blitz through 10 underwhelming songs--in both lyrics and songwriting--in a half an hour, as if they have somewhere else to be. Speed doesn't mean good, boys.

4) Led Zeppelin - "Led Zeppelin IV" (aka, ZOSO). This isn't so much half-baked like Metallica, or unfocused like Slayer. This just SUCKS. Page is VASTLY overrated as a guitarist, and Plant? As Andrew Dice Clay said in The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane, "I've heard cats f*** with more harmony." One atrocious, cheap blues-rock ripoff after another. You can't be an art band and have a song like "The Lemon Song", guys. There's a reason AC/DC doesn't do songs about Tolkein.

5) Justin Timberlake, "Futuresexy/Lovesounds". Memo to Justin: to be the next Michael Jackson requires one thing--an amazing amount of talent. There's a reason "Thriller" sold like it did. You do not have a "Thriller" in you. You'll be lucky if you have a "HIStory" in you. You're a generic white boy singing generic music that'll be forgotten as quickly as Miss Cleo and the MASK toys. Take your version of sexy back under whatever rock you crawled out from, and stay there.

6) Notorious BIG, "Life After Death". I'm sorry, I can't understand a damn word you're saying, Jabba. Quit rapping in Huttese, or stop going down on Puffy long enough to form a cohesive sentence. Oh, wait, you're a fat sack of crap who peddles crack to children? This criminal, this unintelligible Neanderthal, is the next big thing in rap? May hip-hop rest in peace then.

So, I guess you missed the lyric books in almost every single Pearl Jam CD.

~And even the first two had the bulk of the lyrics, minus a song or two.

[Mister Pigwell]

LOL Not a fan of the Zep singing about hobbits Jed?

How about Nimoy singing about them then?

Good lists so far everyone.
