Top 5 most unoriginal bands you've ever heard

You'veGotRedOnYou · July 2007

Whoever said Alice in Chains is unoriginal needs to be put down Old Yeller style. That had to be a joke. Anyways, who cares if one band sounds like another. Tons of rock and roll songs have the same vibes to them. It's fucking part of music. This thread sucks.

yeah those are some really unoriginal bands. especially radiohead....give me a fucking break. are those really in your opinion the most unoriginal bands you could think of, or do you just not like those bands and you feel the need to trash them on a thread somehow some way. either way you lost all credibility by making such a ridiculous statement.

anyway how about these.....

Okay. Tell us why. And shit like bands coming five to ten years after radiohead are the reason they're unoriginal doesn't fly.

1) The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and The Who all say hello.
2) Who the hell is David Gray?
3) I'm not a big fan of Coldplay and I haven't listened to many Oasis songs but I don't see how anybody could confuse a Radiohead song with Oasis and vice versa.

beatles were overrated.. i never liked them
rolling stones have always been garbage.. can't stand them.. there is not 1 RS song i can honestly say i enjoy..
Zeppelin were good for their time.. but i never liked them
The Who - am i required to like them because they're friends w/ Ed? the who covers PJ does (baba, love reign, and everything else) all sound better then the originals

Yet, saying TFF is better than any of them is a big, big stretch.

I could care less who you love and enjoy, but saying every other English band sounds the same is a big stretch. Just because you don't like a band, doesn't mean they aren't original. I really don't care for Pink Floyd all that much because I don't find some of their meanderings enjoyable or awe-inspiring like some people, but I would never go as far as to they were unoriginal.

The only thing that makes that funnier is the fact that you are a proud member of the "BoyHitsar masked street team."

I think I just peed 3 drops from laughing.

i am done with this. it is a fucked up thread because not enough people have any idea about music history.

i am seeing a number of bands that blew people away when they first came about and created a number of copy-cats because they were so original but people are putting them in the fucking list because they have no context to draw from.

fuck, i hate run-on sentences.

anyway, i guess someone is going to put the beatles on the list because they think muse sounds like them.

shit, are you all 15?

thank you.

bullshit. name 5. or one.

radiohead are compltely original. if you don't like their music, fine, but don't claim they aren't original. no one had done ok computer or kid a before them. no one.

Led Zeppelin.

you're being sarcastic right? how is led zeppelin not original? they are like THE basis for heavy metal. sure, they covered some established blues songs but they made them completely fresh with their arrangements. jimmy page on guitar and john bonham on drums are two wholly oriiginal artists putting their spin on those established songs... plus the led zeppelin originals are classics. what do you mean they are unoriginal?

no way man.

alice in chains were not unoriginal at all. i don't know how old you are but at that time nobody sounded like layne and the music was very fresh. you can hear such a transition from facelift to dirt which is what became a very standard sound for the 90's but they were part of the crowd who invented that sound. just because the became generic doesn't make the originators unoriginal.

i agree with everything else, although i could argue korn and slipknot as well, but i don't care enough about them to get into it.

I totally agree with you on the Alice In Chains!

Remember how horrible music was when Facelift came out?

Unskinny bop bop.... she's my cherry pie...... then out of know where came .......I'm a man in a box........

That was huge!!!

I love Tears for Fears

but quite frankly Depeche Mode, Roxy Music, Spandau Ballet, and the original Human League lineup, echo and the Bunnymen, all preceeded the TFF synth pop sound.

I wouldn't call them original...but The Hurting is an awesome underrated album
