re: List of critically acclaimed artists who suck arse

I like Valley Girl,

You like one of his less interesting songs. It just so happens to have been his most commercially successful song because it has a light stupid humor and for him very simplified music that is more accessible to the general public. It's what the person who knows nothing about Frank Zappa would say is his favorite song by him.

Most of his music is too inaccessible for most people. The music itself is too complex. The general public generally doesn't get the sarcasm that he uses in his lyrics. He blurs the lines between satire and absurdity to where it is difficult to tell which he was going for in a given song. His lyrics are too crude. Everything about his general body of work simply was never made for everybody.

He was one of the few true musical geniuses of the 20th century who actually decided to play rock music, and I'm not surprised at all that there aren't more people who appreciate him.

Springsteen was actually quite good but his music hasn't aged well. He died creatively after Born in the USA. There is a spark missing from his music since then.


The live shows is where his real talent lay.

I used to rock out to AC/DC, but now when I hear them I can't turn them off quickly enough. They sound so fricking cheesy it's grating.

I generally agree with you, but I've always liked Nebraska.

Eric Clapton is the most overrated artist of all time. He might be technically brilliant but his songs are a massive bore...

I've been trying to add some other musicians to my repertoire. Could you please provide a list of more artists you don't like?

Nebraska was/is a good album, but it pre dates Born in USA and supports original assertion that Bruce sucks arse post Born in USA.

yeah yeah yeahs

I catch shite for this all the time but Radiohead... I don't think they sucks arse but I can not figure out why so many people worship them.
