Whoever said art-rock is pretentious, is just stupid.
I can dig some pretentious art rock............there are those on this board who complain of excessive "noodling" in this genre.........but I love it anyway.

I question a lot of the comments on this thread....some of the bands listed are great, even if not to your liking, but LIVE? wow, they are a solid band
The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!
And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key
Beck (not a band, but he sucks. All he does is put random words together and idiot journalists call him a genius)
he did that with one song, which did make it one of the most brilliant songs ever. His music has meaning...his last album rocked. If you think there is no meaning behind girl or e-pro, then you really don't think about music at all.

sorry man I cant stand them...they make my skin crawl....I admit that I have only heard their singles on the radio but IMO they are really really TERRIBLE....lightning crashes is soooo bad I have to shut it off immediately....in fact the amount of Live fans on this board has always shcoked me - I dont know a single person who likes them even slightly, in fact everyone I know detests them....they were the butt of a great many jokes back when they were popular

Sleater-Kinney
and, the band that I hate more than anything....THE BLACK CROWES
HOW COULD YOU HATE THE CROWES, PROBABLY THE HARDEST WORKING TOURING BAND THESE DAYS. THESE GUYS ABSOLUTLEY RIP. GOING TO SEE THEM NEXT MONTH IN PROVIDENCE.

"Radiohead sucks" is one of the stupidest things a human being can udder. It's right next to "Zeppelin suck" and "Pardon me while I go poke myself in the eyes".

"Zeppelin suck" - my sentiments exactly.....sorry guys - not a fan at all, Plants vocals drive me CRAZY
In my world everyone is a pony,
and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!
Geddy Lee plays the bass(better than you ever will and most musicians do), sings(excelently), and plays the keyboards with his feet. And Dave Matthews is awesome, and I dont care what other people think, when you can play the songs he plays and sing them perfectly live, and write great lyrics, I'll accept your criticism. And Sleater-Kinney is pretty good. The Black Crowes are great. Audioslave isn't that bad, did you hear Cochise and Show Me How To Live?!
EDIT: Did you hear Dave Matthews on #41? Now that'sa great song
"Zeppelin suck" - my sentiments exactly.....sorry guys - not a fan at all, Plants vocals drive me CRAZY
You know how much Zeppelin ripped Blues players off right. I enjoy all their albums but it kinda bothers me that most of their catalogue is lifted from blues players that I like even more.
This thread is rediculous, some may not like audioslave, rush or the rhcp's but seriously, all of these bands are very far off from the top 10 worst bands in the world (at least I think that was the point of this thread).
I agree - I think a difference must be made between bands that truly SUCK and bands that people DON'T LIKE for whatever reason such as chemistry. I think there is somewhat of a consensus that Limp Bizkit sucks in terms of the quality of just about everything. However to say Radiohead sucks, wow. I don't particularly like Radiohead. I gave them a chance, bought a couple albums, and it just didn't do much for me. Same with Coldplay. Just not my type of music. (Basically too mellow) But neither of those bands are bad quality, you know? ie. just because someone doesn't like Zeppelin doesn't mean they suck; it means that person doesn't like them. 2 different things.

To say that half Zeppelin's catalouge is ripped off of old blues songs a big exageration... there are quite a few of them.. but at the same time, they perform the hell out of them and most often the original works they've done are far better than those old blues standards. (The Rain Song is a good example).
Personally I think Radiohead is better than Zeppelin.
And Bob Dylan is still the best songwriter of all time.. but Zeppelin in their own right are still one of the best bands in history.

It can be, but that is true of all musical genres. Depends on the band and fans.
the bad idea or me befallen by it?
Yes but "art-rock is pretentious" is a blanket statement.

It most certainly is and couldn't be further from the truth.

I'm damn surprised Radiohead hasn't been mentioned yet..
Being one of the greatest bands in history hands down garners a lot of hatred... but some how some schmo hasn't named them yet. keep it up guys.
