Milli Vanilli is right-rated. They are widely regarded as a musical
train wreck that also turned out to be an artistic fraud*, and that is
exactly correct.

Green Day gets graded on a curve, and of all the post-punk bands, they
are far and away the least horrible.

I'm still trying to figure out the point of this video, unless it is
meant to suggest that if the ASO just eliminates a few more riders,
Boonen may be able to pull the Merckx Triple of Green, Yellow, and Poxy
jerseys all in one year.

*In retrospect, the whole controversy over Milli Vanilli, which was
probably the main reason why Milli (or was it Vanilli**) killed himself,
seems grossly overblown. They were the pretty faces that fronted for
actual composers and singers who were, apparently, perfectly happy to
have them do it. The outrage seems to come down to the fact that Pilatus
and Morvan were identified as the actual singers in the US liner notes,
and they accepted a Grammy for it. This seems only slightly more silly
than worrying that Roderick Jaynes didn't really edit "No Country for
Old Men." Indeed, there's a case to be made that Daft Punk has been more
artistically bankrupt*** than Milli Vanilli:

http://www.pliink.com/mt/marxy/archives/2007/02/daft.html

**Rob Pilatus died in 1998 after a pills-and-booze mix. LIVEDRUNK cannot
recommend this particular cocktail.

***Well, it's not much of a case, but Daft Punk has always been more
highly regarded as a creative force, so some people took the revelation
that they were sampling their way to glory pretty hard. Milli Vanilli,
on the other hand...it's hard to believe that anyone ever took them
seriously. It's like taking Ace of Bass seriously. BTW, Ace of Bass is
over-rated: people think they are a crummy ABBA knock-off band, when in
fact they are an astoundingly terrible and downright infuriatingly bad
ABBA knock-off band, as if your stupid kid sister was making fake ABBA
songs using GarageBand.

Billy Joe Armstrong can actually write a pretty good hook when he feels inclined
to. You're correct, Green Day is far from the worst band out there. Very far... I'm
sure one could find many worse ones in the Hall:

Today, that's true. In their time, they were horribly over-rated. If
you're talking about after they "turned out to be", I agree.

1. You're just wrong. Jesse Malin (or DGeneration) is actually good.
2. "least horrible" is not the same as "least over-rated". When I turn
on the radio, the annoying band I hear most is Green Day.

"The Killers" might compete with "Green Day", but first their vocalist
has to get throat cancer and whoever writes the lyrics has to have a
lobotomy. Then the radio will have to play them twice as much as they
already do. At that point, we'll have a contest.

Some people react over-emotionally to having been misled.
Having over-reacted and blamed everybody else for their
own plight, they have nothing left to work with.
Result: they get fooled again.

It's the Ace of Bass of power rock bands.

And you see, rbr is why I don't get anything done. Because of the punk
music discussions.

Dumbass -


A couple of buddies and I had an argument about the worst song of all
time. Mine was "We Built This City". I ended up getting some backup:

http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2004-04-18-worst-songs_x.htm

Starship wasn't half bad, but the lyrics in that particular song were
the ultimate in cheese.

Yep, "City" is pretty awful. But worst song evah? "Achy Breaky" is like a nursery
rhyme (and Billy Ray gets many points knocked off for wearing that haircut - the Achy
Breaky Big Mistakey). What the hell, why wasn't that Lee Greenwood song on that list
(all of which are awful)?

Sometimes cheesy lyrics transcend their own vapidity - check out "Sand" or "Summer
Wine" by Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra.

To a degree, they are. Cobain had a fairly predictable style - after you heard a
couple of his songs, you knew the structure of almost all of them. Having said that,
he (like BJ Armstrong) did write a few good hooks.

Their main accomplishment was how many bands followed them into the
grunge rock thing.

Other than that, what do you expect from heroin addicts?

"Achy Breaky" is an extremely cheesy rhyme, but everyone gets their
heart broken sometime.

No one ever "Built a City on Rock and Roll". Well, no one except for
the self-important subsection of the musicians who think they're gonna
"change the world" with their music. A few years ago I accompanied
such a singing specimen at a late night session and even in my drunken/
crunked stupor I thought, "what the **** is this guy's problem?
thinking he's gonna change the world with that singing?"

Gag me!

dumbass,

the purpose of lyrics is to be evocative. when lyrics only lend
themselves to a very literal interpretation it sounds ridiculous. like

Syphilis has been known to improve composition too.

Dumbass -


Scott Joplin started the evolution of Western Classical music into
what we have today w/ his syphilis-infected mind.

It's a good excuse to go out and have sex w/ women who have "been
around".

paging heather!

Schubert's unfinished symphony isn't bad either, and some allege Beethoven
and Haydn were fellow sufferers. Apparently in the early stages, the ears
are irritated, leading to musical hallucinations at least according to
references in:

Here is some heroin music that has really spoken to me:

Whipping Post -- Gregg Allman

I been run down, I been lied to,
I dont know why I let those mean primates make me a fool.
They took all my money, wrecked my new car.
Now they are with one of my goodtime buddies,
They're drinkin in some crosstown bar.

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Good lord, I feel like Im dyin.

My friends tell me, that Ive been such a fool,
And I have to stand by and take it baby, all for paying your bills.
Drown myself in sorrow, and I look at what youve down.
But nothin seems to change, the bad times stay the same,
And I cant run.

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Good lord, I feel like Im dyin.

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post,
Tied to the whipping post,
Good lord, I feel like Im dyin.
