I'm all too aware of people judging music by technical ability, goes back to the classic rock fans i was talking about in that other thread.
Anyways, i have a possibly unpopular opinion: Heathen by Bowie is a brilliant album. Yeaaah. |

I feel bad for the Gary Yudman (the MC who talks at the beginning of Is There Anybody Out There, The Wall Live 1980-81). I mean, he's trying to point out one more thing - and the band doesn't even let him finish before they start In The Flesh? ! Then, they add insult to injury and they mock him during the other In The Flesh! Poor guy, just trying to do his job.
The reason that's unpopular is because most people laugh at him.

They do sound pretty much the same. Interpol sounds like the Strokes mixed with Joy Division.

As far as Godsmack is concerned, they don't have as much variety as the Beatles but that doesn't mean they have no variety. They have straight forward alternative metal, acoutstic, tribal drumming, vocal ballads (the songs 'Serenity' and "hollow") That said, the beatles are just different shades of the same suck. Varied lameness is still lame. Quote:

4. Slang. out of touch with modern fads or trends; unsophisticated. Take into account def. 4, which I never brought up until now. Beatles = lame. Quote:
I have nothing against soul music, not my cup of tea but still more passionate that ****ty pop trash. Also: Nu Metal = Hip hop inspired metal. Linkin Park = Nu Metal Godsmack = Post-grunge, alternative metal. Godsmack =/= hip hop inspired Godsmack =/= Nu Metal |

Oomph! you can't compare Godsmack to the Beatles any more than you can compare Itsy Bitsy Spider to Beethoven. They're different bands aimed at different audiences.
Itsy Bitsy Spider is a child song, and it does its job well. Beethoven composed symphonies, and he did his job well. But a symphony is not a child song any more than a child song is not a symphony. Do you see where I'm going with this? Why are you trying to compare the Beatles, a band in the sixties whose fanbase was more or less screaming teenage girls, with Godsmack, a hard rock band who claims Alice in Chains as one of their inspirations?
