1. Yes, the people who join this forum and start making half-assed posts on years old posts are annoying. Nothing can be done about it, so there's no point even bringing it up.

2. I'm with you on this topic bro': I find Incubus lame both on a personal level and in the sense that I despise their music when I hear it, but if you are going to make a thread criticizing bands who don't get criticized enough, at-least make it clear to others where your critique is directed. Is it the band? The music? Both?, etc.

3. I didn't realize MusicBanter was biased when there are forums of discussion for all kinds of genres. I mean, sure the mods and long-time members like to flaunt their tastes around and recommend stuff to the people in their little friend-circles while ignoring other people's recommendations, but thats not really the fault of the community on the whole now is it?

4. Give us a few other bands you're glad aren't dominating radio and T.V. anymore and see how it goes. No telling where this thread could go.

I really don't get it, of all the bands to go after, you go after Incubus.

It's one thing to go after sacred cows, it's another to go after a band that isn't particularly well liked in the first place (one that's underrated, of all things), and ACT like you know something that nobody else does, that your opinion is fact and you have to spread the word.

I hate these kinds of threads, really I do, they always lead to disaster and this forum is already loaded with them.

C'mon, you're acting like you're going after a sacred cow here, it's f*cking Incubus, wow, you're a real rebel, you.

no you illiterate clown. I said they were decidedly not a sacred cow. If I had gone after someone that was revered, I'd be a boring attention starved douche.

Incubus is far worse than the Rolling Stones, U2, Radiohead, and Kanye West but we can't say incubus is bad because their not super popular.

Well you know what I think they suck, and I think its high time we stopped giving a band a pass because they aren't played constantly. Incubus sucks and I don't care if their Boo Boo's favorite band, i'm still mocking them at risk of whatever violation that is Big Brother.

No, better than all of those actually.

You think most of my favorite bands suck, I also think the same way about a lot of the music you listen to, you don't see me making threads about it.

Oh my god, I can't believe you, you really think you're fighting the system don't you?

Also, not my favorite band.

First of all, i think you can believe me.

And it isn't a system. You felt the need to come in here and rant about how this thread and my opinion sucked because you liked a band. How egotistical is that?

And by the by, what bands that I enjoy don't get played on your stereo?

I love how Boo Boo is white knighting for Incubus. This thread delivers the lulz.

Also, my turn. I choose Rage Against The Machine. RATM managed to (dis)grace the radio waves for years without much complaining yet spawned lots of die hard followers. I, on the other hand, believe Rage Against The Machine to be one of the worst bands to ever exist. My reasons being...

1. Their music was half-assed radio safe no risks nu-metal. Rage Against The Machine played what everyone was playing at the time. Ultra generic guitar riffs, annoying rappy vocals, and simplistic beats that teetered between hip-hop and rock.

2. Zach De La Rocha had one of the worst voices I've ever heard. He sounded like he was dead centere of puberty and his constant angst filled whiny screams didn't make things better. He was also a notably bad rapper.

3. Tom Morello, while slightly innovative in the way he played leads, is a terrible guitarist. The way he over used pedals made the guitar sound very unnatural and not very guitar like. I get what he was going for but it honestly sounded like a guy who had no clue how to operate a synthesizer was getting terrible feedback.

4. The lyrics tried hard to be political but fell short of actually making any political statements. "ALL HELL CAN'T STOP US NOW!" isn't exactly impressing anyone, and it doesn't make you sound like a rebellious badass by any stretch. On the other end of the spectrum they had nonsense lines like "I give a shout at to the living dead who stood and watched the feds cold centralized" which has absolutely no meaning at all. Not to mention most of the songs were nothing more than childish slogan shouting. I don't imagine any other band will ever fail so hard lyrically.

5. Even when not failing at politics they failed at politics in real life with their super leftist hugs-n-kisses approach to politics. Being anti-capitalist is the same as being anti-freedom. If you're against allowing people to fail and succeed on their own merits get out of America, kthx.
