WERE from Detroit. I went to wikipedia to fact-check myself and found out the White Stripes broke up in February.

everything else from detroit sucks.

Wow I can't believe you said that! Over the last 50 years Detroit has spawned more incredible bands than ANY other city I can think of anywhere. Dagnabbit, now I'm gonna have to open up a Detroit - Rock City thread. But not tonight.

kid rocks sucks
eminem sucks
mo town sucked
bob seger is tolerable.

???????????

Disagree quite forcefully here. Mo Town had its cheesyness, but it was black music's path to the mainstream. Rock, funk, and hip-hop would not exist as they are if it weren't for Motown.

Bob Seger on the other hand is about a step away from later Sting, or even Kenny G.

I'm picking on you a lot tonight Mike.

I just read a post someone made about liking Nickelback. I was able to do so because someone I'm friends with commented on their post. And then, someone defended this, saying that anyone that hates them is just following the bandwagon of it being "cool" to hate on them for having a bunch of pop radio hits. And that they are one of the best live bands in the world. And that active music fans are 'too insecure' to give them a chance.

I felt helpless. This post was spiraling out of control. I was hoping that they were just being a troll but it was just...too serious.

They don't have a bunch of pop radio hits because people really think they're awesome - they have a bunch of pop radio hits because some higher-ups thought they were 'marketable' and good businessmen. Marketable - of course! Chad has the most picture-perfect top row of teeth I've ever seen. Great for the lead singer. But honestly they're kinda distracting when he sings.

I have heard live recordings of Nickelback and, ya know, big surprise - they're not that great. The airwaves are drowned in their songs that stations are *told to play* whether they like to or not.

I've always casually disliked them, even though some of their songs are admittedly catchy. However, I've full-on hated them since that song that said in the chorus: "The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap/we'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat."

I'm sorry, what? THIS got popular? I say this specifically because it's a huge part of the song...the chorus.

First of all, cheap and eat is a pretty forced rhyme. Second of all, oh, the hell with this! If your lyrics suck, you damn well better put a sweet riff in there somewhere to make up for it. I mean, just look at Rush(would ya just look at it?). They turned their songs into nothing but sweet riffs because their drummer was the lyricist.

I've already spent way too much time on this. There's no reason I should have to be drinking ALL the Haterade right now...I have to save some for you!

No need for violence, just tell her she's got a game misconduct and show her the door.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.

Last I knew lyrics didn't need to rhyme in songs... Or do they now?

If your lyrics aren't going to have any meaning or at least maintain a flow, you should have rhyming, or else your music ends up like Lil Wayne and sounds like a 2 year old experimenting with words.
