im not gonna include nickelback, hinder and the like in this, or good charlotte, blink 182 and their babies, because... yeah that stuff is self-explanatory. no need to mention winger, poison and stuff either...
anyways on with the list
Iron Maiden! - I just don't get it. they do have a couple of songs that I can listen to ironically
Motley Crue - once again they have a few songs that are okay as background noise while at work, or in the car with several people talking, but they just have no lyrical substance. Every song is essentialy the same "I'm badass, I fuck girls, I drink beer". nothing to set them apart from the countless 80's glam metal bands that came before/after them. bland and generic bullshit
Pearl Jam - I kind of feel bad for saying it but i tend to agree with most of you guys on pj. they have some good hits, and a decent overall sound but... i dunno their albums all sound plain and contain a lot of filler
Five Finger Death Punch - another band that I just don't understand their success. throwing some double-bass and a few growls isn't enough to turn another breaking benjamin wannabe band into a hardcore metal band. lyrically, some of the most rediculous bullshit out there right now. they think they are soldiers in the army or something and the tough guy "break your face" stuff comes off as completely cheeseball.
Rush- nothing matters here except that geddy lee's voice is the most annoying thing there is cant possibly get past it to notice any redeeming qualities in the band. plus is there a worse song than tom sawyer?
others: creed, limp bizkit, kiss, cadle of filth, anthrax
