    Top Bands that Music Snobs like to Bag on

    Thread in honor of Guiss;

    What are the all-time top musical acts that "discriminating music afficianados" love to publically hate on. I'll go ahead and throw out the low hanging fruit (asterisk* denotes bands that I will admit to liking/owning cd at one time):

    -Coldplay
    -Nickelback
    -Hootie*
    -Creed
    -Warrant*
    -Winger
    -Pat Boone
    -Manilow

    Eminem, when he is actually probably one of the most talented guys to come down the pipe in over a decade.

    Limp Bizkit (they're horrible)
    Linkin Park (WORSE than horrible)


    I really want to start another thread for bands that got the reputation of being great even though they sucked, like U2, Foo Fighters, and Bruce Springsteen

    dude, i don't consider myself a music snob (anymore), but that dude is nothing but a gimmick (and an annoying one at that).

    Do you really deny that Eminem is extremely talented?

    What was the gimmick? That he was white?

    no talent whatsoever. his gimmick was basically the same as marylin manson's, just targeting a different demographic.

    Wow.

    Em is easily one of the 5 best lyricists of the 2000's, with Immortal Technique, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and, yeah, Kanye.

    You either don't like rap music or don't understand good rap music if you can't recognize the guy's talent.

    No objections yet.
    Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
    “It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”

    Does that include Five Eight, Old 97's, Deltron3030 (okay, that's not a band, per se...), Tennessee Two/Three, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, 39 Stonybridge? ...Just off the top of my head/in my collection...:icon_wink:

    I am the only Five Eight fan I know. It's nice to see them mentioned. (and they should not be bagged on by the snobs... they are pure passion and psychosis... and they would never claim to be great musicians).

    Dave Matthews is not a very good singer, but they are great musicians! DMB is definitely a musicians band.

    The Soggy Bottom Boys are pretty damn good, too!!

    Trent Reznor is one of the most overrated dudes in in the industry by the music snob sect.
