Doesn't have to be good/cool by you, but in terms of general population. Now these groups are fucking

now.

I'll start.

Linkin Park
Coldplay

I NEVER liked Linkin Park but I'd imagine them going platinum a few times, quiet a few people did.

Now it seems very uncool to like them. That whole band seems extremely homo'd out.

I'm not a fan, but LP is far from the worst offender in the inexplicably-popular bands category.

Their most recent album has sold almost two million copies, by the way.

Coldplay is definitely one of those bands that could do no wrong, but lasted 2 albums.

basically everyone started mimicking thier piano rock and they couldn't even solidify themselves as the best doing it with that shitty third record.

had great videos too.
i don't get why rappers who are on top of the world, would collaborate with a man who hasn't had a hit single in two years? let alone a good album in 3 to 4?

Because no one on the planet has worse taste in rock music than rappers.

Neither of those bands were ever good.

I'd say maybe U2, Modest Mouse.

The three greatest offenders in the used to be amazing, have long since sucked category are Metallica, RHCP and the Beastie Boys.

Oh god how could I have forgotten that one.

i'm pretty sure all of the bands mentioned can/will still sell a million records again..
and if not they could all easily live off touring for the rest of their lives

what the hell is modest mouse doing in this thread??

they are probably my favorite touring group right now... they have mastered the live set.

and their albums are still fucking great.

it hurts to agree with the RHCP, Metallica, Beasties statement... but its beyond true.
all of these bands should just stick to touring every two years.
and only play old material

To be fair... St.Anger and Stadium Arcadium are decent albums and better than most shit that's major label today. But... To The 5 Burroughs? I'm still scratching my head about it's 5* review in RS.

They aren't terrible by any means, just no where near what they used to be, as far as recorded music goes.

I thought St. Anger was horrible

DLG · Post by **DLG** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 9:34 am

linkin park and coldplay still sell a lot of records.

never liked either though.

st anger was horrible. I hated load and reload when they came out, because it didn't sound like metallica, but I kind dig some songs on the records now.

st anger from any perspective is a hot garbage.

I'd agree that RHCP and U2 need to call it quits, not because they are less popular or good live than before, but because they keep recording the same album over and over.
