Hey Walter you're missing two years! Damn now you're becoming too fascist... ![Tongue Tongue](smileys/smiley17.gif) |
They never made it past 1987. The godawful faux-rootsy "Rattle and Hum" from 1988 signals one of the biggest creative nosedives ever. From then on, it was bad techno, bad rock and loads of awful posturing.

Nickelback is the worst of those I know...I've never heard ICP. Their first song was ok and then they recorded 30 more times with worse lyrics. Groan...
Creed actually has more than 1 song I enjoy. It's extremely derivative and yes Tremonti is a shred fan. But they are one of the most vanilla bands out there...except of course Nickelback.
I loved Phil Collins and pop Genesis when I was an early teen. I think I liked Transformers then too. We all grow up but it was fun at the time.
Sting solo is reasonable adult pop. Not my cup of tea, but it is what it is.
U2 was a good band that just got old. It happens to all of us.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

In this case I think Walter is being over generous - it was all over by '84 for me.

Creed, because I do enjoy Mark Tremonti work, it's a lot more than most Christian-mainstream haters see when they heard Scott Stapp singing... Creed is pretty much great in comparisson to Nickelcr*p and all the bands alike.
U2 is the worst band in mankind history, f*ck them, and f*ck Bono, I'm a hater!!!
Sting and Collins actually are cool, if you want to fall asleep soon, so, I don't hate them, I actually like a couple of songs by them and I admire Sting as a musician, but the two of them are boring as hell...
So, Creed, all the way and for a huge distance...

I love the line in the ICP where they say scientists are
lying to them. Yes, universities around the world are full of students
listening to the top liars in the world so they can learn to lie to hide
the fact that every stroke survivor given TPA (clot buster) was a
miracle and not a scientifically tested and proven medical intervention.
Yep, clowns. Oh, and in medicine, ICP also stands for intra-cranial
pressure....usually from traumatic brain injury. Coincidence?

I like what I've heard of Sting's solo material more than any of the other groups here.

Creed is the most fun to mock-sing
ICP has the saddest fans
The rest are pretty generic crap
Might have to pick Phil Collins solo as it offends me less than Genesis' music, actually

Yes, but the post you made before that in the "browser" thread wasn't - two post in a row looks like a trend to me.

It's not swearing when you use ** or #% or something like that

I think their best work was the first 3 albums-Boy, October and War. The next 2 albums-Unforgettable Fire and The Joshua Tree are okay, but they were already getting away from the raw, guitar-driven post-punk that made them so great. Unfortunately, once they started working with Eno and Lanois (who are both talented) their sound softened and started heading down the commercial highway and into a sell-out car wreck.
