Battle of the Bands. You Suck Edition.
The Beach Boys thread caused me to recalled a song I hate with fire of a thousand suns; "Kokomo." And Kokomo led me directly to another one I hate; "We Built This City."
The Beach Boys were always bubble gum anyway. Good bubblegum in many cases but bubblegum nonetheless. But "We Built This City?" From Grace Slick? The same Grace Slick that was gonna dose Nixon and gave us "White Rabbit?" Both of these songs were awful but which is worse? |

Both suck, but the biggest loser in the history of music, iMO, is the black-eyed fools.
All there songs suck, but igaf could have been written by a kindergartener. Nothing gonna stop us now is equally bad compared to wbtc. |

The Jefferson Airplane and Starship had some good tunes, 'We Built This City" was the worst tune they ever did. I can't imagine a cover band based on that song.
But then, I never figured out why people like Europe, Dio, or Iron Maiden, either. And Pink Floyd sucks balls. They sucked then, and they suck now. And don't get me started about Rush. Jesus. Total crap. |

Starship sold out with "We built this city", nothing more than a pop promo piece.

Foreigner is the worse bad of all times, everything sounds overproduced and the same. Same with the Dave Matthews Band. |

At the end of the day it all is…meh.
Yeah, some of it is incredible musical talent. And I can appreciate that. I admit that often I’ll hear a song and it may remind me of a time in life from the past. But I’m not spending any money or investing any effort on any of it. At this point in life it’s just background noise. |

As to Jefferson Airplane and their subsequent iterations, they had plenty of material that was way better than "We Built this City," which wasn't a horrible song, but was so overplayed, it became friggin' annoying as heck. And of course White Rabbit stands the test of time, too. The Beach Boys are fine for a nostalgia trip, I wasn't ever a huge fan, didn't hate them, either. |

And that's all before we get to Foreigner 4 Foreigner 4 was one of those albums EVERYONE was listening to....the stoners, the rednecks, the bubblegum pop kids, the football team, band geeks...EVERYONE. Foreigner 4 is right up there with the first album from Boston, Asia's first album, Def Leppard's Pyromania etc. Foreigner WAS AOR (album oriented rock). They literally were the genre. |
