I don't know if it's pretentious or not but I certainly don't find it boring. I think it's a well-written, rousing pop song, the kind of thing that makes Joshua Tree such a great album. Sounds like we just look for different things in our pop.

John Mayer is overrated, as is that Skrillex guy. How the **** he ever got a grammy nomination is beyond me, then again, the Grammys are overrated as well.

Faith No More is fairly underrated, especially for pioneering most of todays music. They were way ahead of their time. King for a Day and Album of the Year are most definitely underrated albums.

I wouldn't say nobody. :-p Plenty of idiots on youtube. Though I've had people on there telling me Linkin Park didn't rip-off NIN, even though their newest song shows they still are 'til this day, imo.

I'd also say their(FNM) influence reaches maybe a little further than just nu-metal. Maybe not quite inventing other genres outside of nu-metal, though I wouldn't be surprised.

I don't think they are highly underrated, I know there are tons of fans that respect them and know what they've done for music, but I just don't think they are as celebrated and credited as much as I think they should be.

Mr. Bungle was pretty cool, but I never quite got into it as much. Much, much more experimental, that's for sure. I liked Peeping Tom quite a bit. There are even talks of a new Peeping Tom album. That would be cool.

...and you chose to concern yourself with the opinion of people you already recognize as idiots, why?



Where you post like another Patton fan, have you checked out Fantomas or Tomahawk at all? I know you said you liked Peeping Tom, I thought it was kind of crap but whatever. The first two Tomahawk discs retain a lot of the straight ahead rock intensity that a lot of FNM fans felt was missing from the various side projects. Totally worth checking out, especially if you think FNM was underrated.

The above 5 posts are something I never thought I would see on this site.

I liked Limp Bizkit in the 8th grade because I thought I was badass by listening to "Nookie". Then I realized I was just being stupid.
