That is so super awesome. Too bad it didn't result in any music that's worth listening to.

I don't see what point those comparisons make other than "here is a band I think sucks, now here is another band I think sucks"

Except that they both took genres before them and watered them down to make music palatable to the greater masses. Especially Oasis.

Pretty sure plenty of critics said the same things about them. Plenty of people in the know hated the band at the time.

Plenty of people also like at least a couple Nickelback songs. I like "Animals" and "Rockstar", and yet that doesn't make Nickelback a good band.

I understand, but I don't see that as any worse than liking Britney Spears. And I love Britney Spears. It's all garbage, but it's fun garbage.

I can understand why others would like what they do. I'm not saying that anybody who likes their music has no taste whatsoever, and if I did then I was just trying to be funny. But to me I hate them.

And perhaps I was just in the wrong mood to give them even a ghost of a chance with that review. I'd just created an anti-Smashing Pumpkins thread, and earlier listened to most of the first disc off of Mellon Collie... as background music, so I probably wasn't in the best state of mind to be open-minded about them.

But I was definitely honest in how I felt about Siamese Dream when I was listening to it. The songs I liked I liked less than what I remembered, most of the rest were impossibly dull, and the longer songs were an endurance test. I was not just trying to hate them for the sake of hating them. Or at least I was trying not to let that color my opinion as much as possible.
