Kasier chiefs rubbish? na they where great for a while ..punchy tunes,no great albums granted but some quality songs,i predict a riot is iconic and sure to played wherever there is social unrest for decades to come... and judging by this performance a band who can still give a compelling live performance..
Club in Washington DC on 9 March 2012.

Interesting to see how they end up now with the drummer gone. He was their key songwriter.

Would need to give their first album a listen again but pretty sure it was a staple of the playlist for a few years. Critics were mad for them when they first came out. Releasing the likes of 'Ruby' etc helps them lose their bite it must be said

I have no love left for pop punk, although younger me loved the stuff. Silly younger me.

I wonder how many bands are actually based around the drummer writing?

Don Henley from the Eagles and Neil Peart in Rush are two anyway. It's rare enough.

The bad stuff would include
the farm
shed 7
Cast
echobelly
embrace
gene

I think echobelly were more for the guys with the asian fever

because that girl was stunning, same can probably be said for sneaker pimps I mean just look the girls out front cooing away with their suggestive lyrics yet other members of the groups contented in being non-entities! Still, at least if thats what was going on then the eye candy there wasn't as musically disposable as it tends to be

Gay Dad of course. I've not given it any thought....

downonthefarm · 31-07-2013 10:43PM

the offspring
the fugees
that whole 'madchester' thing

Cienciano · 31-07-2013 10:49PM

I reckon in 5 years a lot of people will say "Mumford and Sons"

Cienciano · 31-07-2013 11:05PM

Just looking at my music collection, not so much "rubbish", but a few artists I loved 10 years ago and would never ever listen to now:
Bjork
Coldplay
Fatboy Slim
Groove Armada
Marilyn Manson
Mogwai
The Prodigy
The Streets (come on! just the first album!)
U2

Stuff I can genuinely say is rubbish that I liked and might as well delete:
Embrace
Scooter (yes

, but might keep it for comedy value :cool:)
The Lightning Seeds
Paddy Casey
Blink 182

I was out with 2 of my mates last weekend and I was saying how bad they were. Both of them looked at each other and told me they liked them. They actually thought the banjo going mental was brilliant.
At least in a few years I can embarrass them.

I agree its a bit Amish, but the folk revolt may be the most punk thing going in a climate of non musical veritable illuminati. Having said that, I think they were rich boys to begin with but is encouraging to see a bunch of guys throttling their banjos with gusto.

Oh my god, Picturehouse just popped Into my head there. "There's a sunburst, whenever you're near me...." One-hit-wonder-tastic. They've released a new single which iv heard once on 98fm a few months ago, probably got shelved after that

I use my iPod 5 or 6 times a year now as I mostly use spotify etc now. It doesn't get much updating much so I need to scroll through **** music that went on 6 or 7 years ago. Atleast with cd's you can stash away the **** music, whereas on an iPod they get as much precedent as the good stuff.

seachto7 · 01-08-2013 10:26AM

I don't know who was buying Picturehouse singles to get them on the radio, but it wasn't me!

lil'bug · 03-08-2013 10:07PM

red hot chili peppers I used to love them but the last few albums have been stale and jaded
I actually can't stand the lead singers voice anymore

Their first album is a great album, full of catchy tunes and they produced one of the best live show's I've seen at Dublin castle. Second album had a few tunes but just lacked the depth of that amazing first album.

Looper007 · 04-08-2013 01:33PM

Music I loved at the time but hate now

Blink 182
Limp Bizkit
The Thrills (still think Their Debut album was great but everything after was very meh, taught HAL were the better band)
Relish (A few good tunes but nothing special)
Stereophonics (great debut album and decent second album but god worse as they went along)

Hunchback · 04-08-2013 01:48PM

The yeah Yeah Yeah's first album was a gem. Second was good too, I spose, but now they're crap.

G'way outta that. I had the pleasure of seeing them play an intimate club date recently and it's up there among the best performances I've seen in near 20 years of going to gigs.

Sounds like you think little of the genres of music that seeped into their sound in later years if anything. General consensus would be that they're a remarkably consistent band and one of the few bands from that early 2000s NY scene that are as regarded as highly today as they were back back then.

They're metacritic scores reflect how I'd rate all their albums:

Mosquito 75
It's Blitz 82
Is Is EP 78
Show Your Bones 79
Fever to Tell 85

I don't think I would describe any band I liked in the past as rubbish, plus you're bound to insult someone by saying that.

Certain bands just ran out of steam, for example Delays. They were a good band, I wasn't a huge fan but I liked a good few of their songs especially from their second album You See Colours. But after that they just seemed to lose it.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Tbh I'm not even sure why I still have that debut album. That guy cannot sing, end of. Pure torture listening to him. His voice just ruined all the songs which was a pity.

StaggerLee · 07-08-2013 03:33PM

Ocean Colour Scene, Jaysis they were actually ****e.

Haven't listened to it but I've seen their 1992 self-titled debut panned by a lot of people.

But even their second and most well-known album Moseley Shoals contained some fairly dull dad-rock tunes. They were a band of their time who offered nothing new.

Hear Moseley Shoals and Marchin' Already are great album's. They lost it after that but they are a good live band. Not life changing music but both of them albums still have a place on my Ipod every now and then.

Not every band has to reinvent the wheel Silverscreen.
