Anyone remember Snot?

That is the best name a shitty band could ever have.

"Snot! You roll over and let Uncle Clark scratch your belly!"

They were ok I guess. I keep wondering how they would have evolved because they quit when their singer got hit by a truck or something. Confused

Pink Floyd they are the worst band, but if you're stoned they are the best because their music will make sense.
I'm sorry bet if you can't tell "blues skies from pain" you are:

1. A complete moron.
2. So fucking stoned that you're not lying and you can't actually tell them apart.

I have nothing against this band I just wish I could listen to their music w/o getting stoned.

I've never done drugs...but I'm a huge Floyd fan. Every album is like an adventure.

Yeah you have to be stoned to understand music with blatant drug references. This Is A Joke

Can anyone tell me the difference between blue skies and pain?
I'm just saying Pink Floyd can't

I'm not referring to their drug references, I'm referring to their weird lyrics that don't make sense to me.

Maybe my problem is that I analyze their songs too much and act like a smart ass because their lyrics give me an easy opening for doing so.

led zeppelin had some weird lyrics too and i enjoy pink floyd + led zep immensely

I remembered the name. I just couldn't remember anything else, so I looked them up. Then I went and downloaded a couple of their singles. I thought best case, they are awesome, worst case, I can play it when my friends around just to make them go WTF. They actually weren't that bad. They weren't great, just okay. Maybe they aren't as good as I'm giving them credit for because I had low expectations. But I thought it wasn't bad.

I read about the guy getting killed in a car crash and how his dog was with him. That sucks. I did find this quote about not going on without him.

"We can't go on without Lynn, it's just bullshit when bands do that."

Don't forget what decade zeppellin and floyd are from. It was a time involving alot of experimenting. It wasnt weird, it was original for its time and its still original today. I would be surprised if someone could compare these bands with any modern bands.
Besides, if i wanted to listen to generic shit i would listen to the radio. aka Nickelback
Pink Floyd is definately NOT the worst band ever.

If you read the rest of the lyrics they make sense. You are taking it too literally. Blue skies is a paradox to pain, being as blue skies are considered the epitome of euphoria. The lyrics consist of juxtaposing polar opposites. It doesn't take a stoner to figure this out, nor does it take a stoner to be capable of writing these sort of things. Many an artist speak in similes and metaphors without the use of drugs.

I fucking hate Coldplay, and I think Floyd is overrated. Don't get me wrong, I like them, but the way people kiss their ass is fucking amazing. Also, fuck ICP, Nickelback, and whatever popular choices were in this fucking thread.

I do not like Coldplay.

Seconded. They bore me. I also detest Radiohead. I mean, really detest them. Almost as much as I detest screamo and deathcore.

As for the Snot comments, I've heard worse.

In a severe black hole like 80's recurrence 'New Kids on the Block' are back! I hardly listen to the radio so much to my surprise I am turning my CD player off and going to the ESPN AM channel when I hear New Kids on the Block are back with there new single Summertime.
Shocked

Did we cover ICP yet? They're pretty terrible and all their fans are retarded.

ICP = Redneck people anger music.

they're making millions off of the walmart nation.

Coldplay - I don't like them, but they are far from the "Worst Band"

Pink Floyd - Come on, this is about the Worst Band. Not a band you don't like.

Nickelback - I really do not like them at all. In fact I enjoy this video a lot.

Ashlee Simpson - She is definitly up there among the worst.

ICP - Yeah they are bad, but what they do isn't even music, so are they even a band? I tend to consider them a terrible choice in entertainment, like the loser on a comedy competition show.

So who do I think the worst band is?

CKY - Camp Kill Yourself

They fucking suck. They are trying damn hard too. But they just suck.

my friend actually tried showing me that NKOTB video 'summertime'

but he did make a good point, it wasnt as annoying as a lot of other crap out there (i.e. soulja boy, rihanna, all those emo bands et. al.)

Why is ICP not music? Don't get me wrong they suck ass, but your not going with that rap isn't music nonsense are you? It has a rhythm and melody, the very basics to qualify it as music. The rap isn't music argument is tired. It may not be complex, and it may not be original, but it is still music none the less.

ICP isnt music cause they have no talent.

music is something you want to listen to. ICP is not something you want to listen to.

music can calm you. can help you relax. can pump you up. can be there for you when you need it. ICP just wants to make you go "HULK SMASH"

Fine, if the sound of me taking a piss into a urinal is music then ICP is music too. Ok? Happy?

Talking isn't singing. Banging on a wall isn't playing the drums. And ICP making noise isn't music.

Rap is definitely music. ICP doesn't even count as rap.

We're on the same side of the fence... Yes I agree ICP sucks, and they are not pleasant to listen to. But not liking it still doesn't change the fact that it is in fact music.
I don't know, maybe I'm taking you too literally, after all you did say rap was music, and that's usually what bugs me.

Quote:

An often-cited definition of music, coined by Edgard Varèse, is that it is "organized sound" (Goldman 1961, 133). The fifteenth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica describes that "while there are no sounds that can be described as inherently unmusical, musicians in each culture have tended to restrict the range of sounds they will admit." Michael Linton, took the definition a step further to add that the form in which music is organized is an important element of the music itself. His definition of music is "the organization of sound and silence into forms that carry culturally derived meanings, cultivated for aesthetic or utilitarian purposes".

"Organization" also seems necessary because it implies purposeful and thus human organization. This human organizing element seems crucial to the common understanding of music. Sounds produced by non-human agents, such as waterfalls or birds, are often described as "musical", but rarely as "music". See zoomusicology.

Don't put ICP on us rednecks and Wal-Mart shoppers. You can blame some of us for buying 'Git R Done' merchandise (not me, I'm only half redneck). The ones responsible for ICP are the street thugs who steal from Wal-Mart.
