If you could unplug them...

Name a band...any band...a band whom you think should not be allowed to play or record anymore.

My pick: Matchbox Twenty.

vsp · 05-20-2003, 09:50 PM

I could mention any of a dozen boy-bands, but that's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy due to their short half-lives.

So: Goodbye, Aerosmith. And take Creed with you.

Agreed with the Aerosmith comment...please make it stop!

xoxoxoBruce · 05-20-2003, 11:16 PM

ANY rap group.

Tobiasly · 05-21-2003, 01:11 AM

Is Everclear still releasing stuff these days? God, their one-trick slop got old quick.

05-21-2003, 05:30 AM

Gotta go with Creed here. There's never been a band that annoyed me as much.

Undertoad · 05-21-2003, 08:46 AM

Sugar Ray?

05-21-2003, 08:51 AM

True, Sugar Ray only had one or two decent songs, but I can only remember one Creed song that wasn't like fingernail clippers on my teeth.

perth · 05-21-2003, 09:18 AM

radiohead.

(kidding! dont hurt me!)

actually, i have to go with aerosmith on this too. i love their early work, but it started to go downhill with crazy/amazing/that other song that sounded just like the first two (didnt snl even make fun of this?), and became a train wreck the moment they appeared onstage with britney spears during a superbowl halftime show.

ugh.

All the unplug suggestions are good, although Aerosmith gives me hope that there is life after death, albeit in some strange, Las Vegas, lounge lizard sort of way.

If the sound coming from my radio sucks, I turn it to somehting I do like, or shut it off and listen to a CD or my MP3 collection. The high burnout rate of the boy-girl-lemur-band de jour is entertaining.

What, just because Steve Tyler died in 1988 and nobody's told him yet?

xoxoxoBruce · 05-21-2003, 04:48 PM

Aerosmith was good until Steve got straight.

elSicomoro · 05-21-2003, 07:44 PM

I'd say the official downhill slide began with Get a Grip and has picked up steam since. Don't get me wrong, I love Aerosmith, and I understand that bands change and evolve over time. But I ain't diggin' Aerosmith's slide towards outright pop.

juju · 05-21-2003, 08:13 PM

But, I really dig One Way Street and Seasons of Wither.

     I got my wish Kurt CoBANG pulled the trigger. Of course, now I have to hear all these whiny bastards talk about how great he was. No, he was a weak loser. Once you have a child you lose all right to end your own life. Up untill then do what you want, but giving your own child the trauma of having his/her parent kill themselves is the act of one incredibly selfish bastard. Oh, I hated their music too.
