The "rate this band" game

[noctuary]

Here's a very simple idea for a game, so I hope everyone has fun with it. The rules are easy: just name a band, and the next person to reply gives it a rating of 1-10. Don't complain if someone bashes your favorite band! Here we go, I'll start it off.

Radiohead

[urgeok]

my wife would say 9,

i say 3 (never got into them)




Kiss

[newb]

I always thought they were overrated.

I'll give them a 4



Black Sabbath

[noctuary]

Black Sabbath: 8

Sonic Youth

[Elvis_Christ]

Sonic Youth gets a 10 from me

Fugazi

[urgeok]

but i have another i like ..

i think they are a band for musicians ,,, who can appreciate them for different reasons
(which I'm not ...)

so i'd have to say 5



Talking Heads

[newb]

Talking Heads

Now that was a great band, gonna give them a 10

The best concert DVD your ever gonna see..."Stop Making Sense"



napster issue aside...Metallica

[noctuary]

Metallica: 5

I just can't get into them. Even the early supposedly great albums fall flat for me.

Sisters of Mercy

I too died a little bit inside form the ATDI statement.


The Mars Volta ( Good job on recognizing my avatar)

[knife_fight]

6/10. I like em better than ATDI, but I still think they're just barely above average (that's a taste decision, not based on their talent or anything).


the oak ridge boys

Big Black

9.5 because Songs About Fucking turned me into the bastard I am today :)

The Sonics

If you ever saw Cedric sing live and how the rest of the guys play, you wouldn't think they were overrated. :(

Someone should start an ATDI appreciation thread.

[knife_fight]

I saw ATDI play a few times, but I still think Mars Volta is better, and I don't like either one of them too much.

I wouldn't say they were overrated, I just didn't care for ATDI's style too much. I think it was mainly the guy's voice that grated on my nerves.

[noctuary]

I'm not a big fan of ATDI either...

Bathory: 7

Frankie Goes to Hollywood were a manufactured band - they put out a killer album (the follow up wasnt bad either)


Bow Wow Wow never grabbed me too hard but they had some good tunes ..

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Heh heh. I do not like the Pistols at all, but you know, to each his own. I understand their importance as a band, but their music has always seemed lackluster to me. For first wave Britpunk, the Damned and the Buzzcocks do it much better, for me.

I can't deny that John Lydon, at least, is talented, though. Public Image Ltd. were a great band.

would you like them in a box ?
Would you like them with a fox ?

[urgeok]

ps .. i'm a huge Buzzcocks fan - but there is no way of comparing the 2 bands - they each had their own unique energy.

all i can say about the pistols is for years i blew them off because of the hype ..

then i heard bullocks and it knocked my socks off ...
solid perfect album (for me)

still love it as much today as i did then ..

Amazing fucking band. They injected depravity and death into the scene. Along with Sabbath they are perhaps one of the most important things to happen in music. Really turned music upside down..... and spawned a bunch of great bands.

Are they one of those bands you can't find their cd at a local store, or are they pretty popular?

they're a little old now - so you dont see their stuff around a lot - but it's all available.

Yep. Should be easy enough to order in. Most of the big stores over here carry their stuff. There's some nifty coloured vinyl editions that were brought out not to long ago if your down with spining the black circle.

Some of their albums were very spotty, but as a singles band, they were dead on. I agree with you about JMC, by the way. After Darklands, I think they went straight to hell.

Ooooh.... 0/10, corporate music. Lil' processed, lil' formulaic. One man's opinion though.

I think we all should state our reasons for the ranking. That way people can't just rank bands they've never heard of just to put their own bands on next.

Alexisonfire

And I think that's a good idea. The only problem with that is with people like me that haven't heard half of these. I've been putting 5/10 for bands I haven't heard. So if I haven't heard them, I'll give them an even score and state it.

4/10...never heared of them before, but I just listened to some stuff on their site, didnt much care for it. IMO vocals are the most important part of a song, so intrumental stuff doesnt really do it for me. On top of that, the 3 songs I listened to all sounded exactly the same...all three were really repetative, too.

Arena rock served them well.... they never pulled off the goth thing for me. Electric is a pretty cool underated rock album of the era, and another Rick Rubin produced gem.

I give the Cocteau Twins a 4 never was really down with them but heard they were pretty dop live from a few people I know.

Hows about those Dictators?!!!!!!!!!
