Inuit music, drum dancing, and throat singing ;-)))

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

I thought I was into intuit music once, but I was mistaken.

It turned out it was all just Aleutian. :unsure:

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

Ok. I dont have time to look now, Im clubbing baby seals...

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

LOL

Ok , smartass , tell us about those Danish super musicians then :)

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

I would rather not.... Denmark´s biggest exporting hit to this date is "Barbie Girl" by Aqua :lol:

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

It's a classic... :rolleyes:

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

:bustingup

Full marks! :rokk:

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

Musical taste is subjective....I would say that at least 5 of those I mentioned are 'great'....many 'alright'.

Personally, I'm loving the new Nickelback right now...(and I'm guessing you're not because you're an old fart.) :rolleyes:


the hip is classic stuff and anyone would be hard pressed to say that Sarah McLachlan isn't talented. :p

The point of the list was to show that the music here isn't "so shit"...it's not just all Anne Murray and Celine Dion. ;)

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

I play an Anne Murray Christmas album every year despite repeated familial requests to stop. It's my damned album and I'll play it if I want to, I say often!

My youngest always watched the Candian version of MTV (it may not have been called that, I don't remember what she called it) because she said not only were the veejays (if that term is still used) funnier and better, the music played was fantastic. I recognized a lot of names on your list because I've bought them from "dear Santa" lists. :) She preferred Canadian television in general. I'd wander in, watch some teenagers dealing with life and mutter "damn, that was good," and she'd mutter back "of course it is, it's Canadian."

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

Nickelback are very good, their style of music isn't one that I'm usually drawn to but I do like them.

I'm a die hard 1980's aceeed house man that likes techno, so a new addition to my tastes is rare. :)

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

I really enjoy Nickelback. Creed also. I think of them in the same breathe because they remind me a lot of each other.

Anne Murray ... well, hmmm ... It's that next to the Maureen McGovern album? :o

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

ok let me dissect canadian music for you:

Nickelback-one hit wonder
Our Lady Peace-no hit wonder
Bare Naked Ladies-absolute Shite with a capital S
Sarah McLachlan-one hit wonder continually regurgitated in "remix" albums
Crash Test Dummies-who??
Tragically Hip-never got why they are popular here.
Finger Eleven-who?
Nelly Furtharder-yeah, she really must a low scrape of the barrel
I Mother Earth-again, a pile of wank
Chantal Kreviazuk-you like her? would you say she's a great rocker? as in "sits in a rocker"
Avril Latrine-i think i get my point across
Amanda Marshall-grudgingly admit she might have made one good song
Simple Plan-who the fuck are they? (i know-but they are a bunch of wankers aren't they?)
Sum 41-sum of fuck all if you ask me

A more 'rock classic' list:
Alannah Myles-how does she qualify as a musician-remembe we're talking about music
Lee Aaron-who the fuck is lee aaron?
Jane Arden-shes a rocker? you must really like your rock...
Tom Cochrane-another tosser
Joni Mitchell-she rocked, thats the only one you'll get from me
Kim Mitchell-who?
Rush-bollocks
Trooper-not worth my insult
David Wilcox-name one song, i bet not even you can...
Neil Young-isnt he dead?


you forgot Leonard Cohen. He was the best you had, and you didn't even mention him. Shame on you.

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

A girl after my own heart. :yowsa:

and, it's Much Music. :)

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

That's it! :)

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

Subjective...........

Crash Test Dummies - Superman's Song?

Finger Eleven - a relatively new band...how old are you?

Lee Aaron - http://www.leeaaron.net/

Kim Mitchell - Patio Lanterns, All We Are, Go for a Soda.........

David Wilcox - Breakfast at the Circus...'bout 2 decades ago...still have the CD

So, you DID say there were a couple who had 'a good song' here and there....

Some on my list I don't know all that well....I tried to take a cross section of music and decades.....

If you don't enjoy any of those bands....I'd love to see a list of the bands you DO like.....

and who's Leonard Cohen?

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

OK... I looked up a few Canadian Musicians..

Oscar Petersen
Paul Anka
Joni Mitchell
Hank Snow

Re: Most overrated Musicians

Re: Most overrated Musicians

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

I disagree, I'm showing a wide ranging knowledge of music.

:)

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

Okay...I'll give you that.....barely ;)

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

LOL

I have been laughed at more often and heartier over what I DO know than what I don't know.

Weird huh?

LOL

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

LOL....I can see that...haha

Re: Most overrated Musicians

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

Notice Sare has stayed clear of this thread after his mention of Bob Dylan..... :p

Re: Most overrated Musicians
 

Paul Anka wrote the theme to the "Tonight Show."
I imagine he's laughing his way to the bank on a regular basis. :)

Re: Most overrated Musicians

Feeling Way Too Good ?
How You Remind Me ?
Learn The Hard Way ?
Someday ?
Breathe ?
