Most overrated Musicians

[Dravyk]

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?

[leedsfan]

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.

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."

A girl after my own heart.

and, it's Much Music.

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?

[Nickatilynx]

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

Oscar Petersen
Paul Anka
Joni Mitchell
Hank Snow

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

[MorganGrayson]

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

hardly... Smashing Pumpkins: Power Rock
Rage Against the Machine are Rap-Metal (pretty much the inventors of it)
and Nine Inch Nails is industrial/electronica... (some would say pop-Industrial...)



of course, if you mean "Similar as opposed to Paul Anka" ...than yes, maybe

[Dravyk]

Hey you put down Paul Anka!!






Ok, that's one for you! hehe
