Am I Really The Only One? (country, metal, album, pearl jam)

Metallica: I honestly can't stand them.
Nirvana: Big fan obviously. For the time they did something different.
Oasis: Not bad, I like listening to them every hear and there.
Modest Mouse: After listening to their music I just have the urge to "Float On"....Yes, I was trying to say I like them. They make me mellow.

Metallica - I liked until Lars came out as a flaming homo.

When was he not one?

lets think about this for a bit,

Metallica = everything from 80s sounds exactly the same, everything after is just plain crap. very very bland.

Nirvana = Bleach - Decent
Nevermind - Amazing
In Utero - Good
Overall they really werent anywhere near as good as people think.

Oasis = everything sounds exactly the same after Definitely Maybe and WTS(MG) and even those albums arent that great, just good.

Modest Mouse = also another very bland band, everything besides their 2004 release was not good at all.

agree about all 4 bands

Recent Metallica is just not good. I've never followed Modest Mouse enough to comment on them. I've never liked Oasis so I won't comment on them either.

Metallica in the 80s does not sound all the same. Yes, some songs are similar but most do not. the Ride the Lightning album is amazing.

um...you do realize that exactly zero of the Albini mixes ended up on the studio version of that album, don't you?

I thought not.

I agree for the most part with that. I do not think though they are even close to the level of Nirvana, Metallica, and all those bands. If you go ask the everyday average music listener the only song they will know is Wonderwall.

Therefore i don't think they are that highly overrated, but still definitely given to much credit than they deserve.

This is a band who put out a B sides album and had it sell over 2 million copies. I think their other stuff is a bit more known that you give them credit for.

It's probably been said before but any band who gets even half a decent sized following will be called over-rated by somebody. It's all about taste. I for one don't care for any of those bands.

That may be true, idk.

Tomorrow i will go out and ask 10 people to name as many Oasis songs as they can. Ill report my findings back here.

Plus, record sales do not always mean people are well informed about a bands members or song titles.

Like if you show some one the Pearl jam album Ten, they will for every song be like..."ooooo thats who this is by"or "oo i didnt this was the name"
