….the reason being, what exactly?
U2 – Bono

The Ting Tings – ‘That’s Not My Name’
Everclear – just get over your Dad.
Tiki Taane – ‘Always On My Mind’
Disturbed – their logo
Boys Noize – their remixes
Albert Hammond Jr. – please concentrate on releasing Strokes records
Smashproof – ‘wanted to say something real‘
Gin Wigmore – fucking annoying voice / Smashproof
Guns & Roses – ‘Sweet Child of Mine’
Bryan Adams – ‘Summer of ’69′
Nesian Mystic – anything they released / that guy’s moustache
Kid Rock – whatever the fuck his cover thing of ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ is called
Okay, that entire list is totally credible & I agree on pretty much EVERYTHING….
however, you ruin it by claiming to like the strokes
Why don’t you like the Strokes? Because they started out rich?
No, because I have TRIED listening to them (like, ‘multiple records, multiple listens’ tried) & acknowledge that they are relatively talented musicians but their music is just too fucking boring.
FUCK YEAH THE STROKES I AM WEARING A STROKES T-SHIRT RIGHT NOW I GOT IT FOR THREE DOLLARS FUCK THA H8RS
i think you should’ve left conor oberst and the mystic valley band on though. and monsters of folk. because they are both fucking awful. esp. monsters of folk, it’s not even listenable.
ps. i actually came on sleep500 to try make a post for this barren wasteland but you’ve REALLY OUTDONE YOURSELF.
When I was writing this list I felt like I was grasping at straws to get to 20 but after a while of being at work I realised there were about a million bands I could have put on there.
I thought Nesian Mystic were a bit shitter than the Mystic River Band. I actually forgot Monsters of Folk existed because we have this joke where someone says their name and then one of us goes, “I love funk music!”
there are heaps of little nz kids all over last.fm who love monsters of folk and post them all over their tumblrs and i think it makes me hate them even more. i just don’t understand what compelled these four guys to make such overwhelmingly shit music.
I met some fucking horrible girls on tour who had driven from Omaha to Vancouver to see that band. Struggled to figure it out for a while then I was like – oh wait, you’re groupie sluts. I get it now.
