Mister Gwen Stefani and his gang may not have started the grunge era, but next to STP, they were the best. This album did not have one bad song and I hope that they reunite as well. Everything ZEN..........
Scott finally quit Velvet Revolver and I hear that they are going to announce a comeback tour soon. I wanna pee my pants. The greatest band ever is regrouping. Take all the new rock you want, no one can do it like STP.
The G man is new jazz and he makes some of the most heart wrenching music today. He is well respected in jazz circles and has crossed over to a popular audience. When I'm in the mood to be frisky, I put on some G and it takes me to places that I've only seen on late nite HBO movies. My children were probably conceived because of him. I love you Kenny.
Nahhh... I'm not the too cool for school type. I have some guilty pleasures when it comes to music. Air Supply's Greatest Hits is unashamedly in my iTunes library. But there's nothing redeeming about Limp Bizkit. Here's the difference: Air Supply was just two dudes from Britain who sang catchy love ballads made for easy listening radio. That's all they were. Meanwhile, Bizkit sold themselves as some sort of revolutionary hybrid of rap and metal when all they were was crap. Limp Bizkit took two great genres of music, combined them, and made each of them worse. It's like putting bacon and mint chocolate chip ice cream together and making a shit sandwich.
I'm not "hating" on your list... Limp Bizkit just sucks.
why is everyone a hater on my list. you guys probably liked these bands back in the day and now you're too cool to like them. paula abdul is my daughter's choice and we watch american idol together. it's the highest rated show of all time. ha. and don't act like you don't watch it. you guys seem like clay aiken fans. maybe band of horses is the limp bizkit of today according to how you see it. do you really like those bands or are they just cool, so you like them. remember, the beatles started out as a boy band.
All That Easy by Limp Bizkit
In the clouds, all the grey I'll stay if you go away Concrete, tall as the sky All the movement passing me by And you blush, what a rush Reminisce, cold crush Next door, ear to the wind All the tension made for the core
I wish, I wish, I wish it was all that easy I wish, I wish, I wish it was all that easy
Well, I wouldn't have put it in such harsh terms as the below post but Limp Bizkit truly is a terrible excuse for a band. They have added absolutely nothing to society in general except to drag it down. I remember channel surfing and stumbling upon a video with Fred Durst and Method Man. For those that don't know, Meth is part of the greatest rap group ever. His involvement with Fred Durst (I'm assuming Meth was either high off his ass or Fred has some incriminating photos) was a low point for anyone ever associated with Wu Tang. Yes, it was even worse than ODB getting arrested for being a crackhead. Hell, it was an affront to anyone who ever bought a Wu Tang album.
I am utterly confused how someone who puts Band of Horses' Cease to Begin (which is one of my favorites) in their 2007 list could possibly even listen to Limp Bizkit. If the Limp Bizkit tour bus crashed into the Good Charlotte one and the entire thing went up in a ball of flame, I would start going to church every Sunday.
Look, I understand that favorite10 is about what you like but that doesn't mean we aren't serious about music here. When your list includes Linkin Park, Creed and Paula Abdul and then cites Limp Bizkit as being revolutionary, you're either thumbing your nose at the crowd or you need some serious assistance in the development of taste. Frankly, I can't help but ask how Nickelback got squeezed out. Sure, they're talentless gits but for all their derivative guitar lines, clichéd song structures and impossibly terrible lyrics, they're still easier to tolerate than ridge-browed troglodytes like Limp Bizkit who have made their fame off back-breakers like this:
People in the house put them hands in the air Cause if you don’t care, Then we don’t care 1, 2, 3, times two to the six Jonesin’ for your fix Of that Limp Bizkit mix So where the fuck you at punk, Shut the fuck up and back the fuck up, While we fuck this track up
Fuck this track up is right. Lemme fill you in on something - Aerosmith and RunDMC started the rock/rap revolution and brought it to the masses. But enough history class about bands that have actually contributed to music. What you must understand is that there is nothing revolutionary about Fred Durst OR Limp Bizkit. Christ, there's not even anything good. The only contribution Durst has ever made to music is giving Eminem a rhyme with which to bag on Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. He's is a poseur and a sham that makes a mockery of legitimate rappers by ripping off trends from rap and selling a generic version of it to silly, middle-class white kids that eat it up like skittles. What's amazing (and pathetic) is that this formula actually works and you're fooled into thinking this is a great rock band. Limp Bizkit is aging like vinegar. Hell, they were vinegar out of the gate. Step away from the Paula Abdul cd and clue into the fact that Limp Bizkit albums should be classified as nothing but but hate crimes.
