Zathras Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Interesting comparison.... Strangely enough I like the mix better than either of the songs individually.... Makes me wants to double up random stuff to make it better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 That's funnier than all hell....and yet another example of what's wrong with "popular" music today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 "today"? I remember having this kind of complaint about R.E.M. years ago... this is nothing new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 And yet I enjoy the occasional song by Nickelback. I remember labeling each song released on the radio from the first Bush CD as "Smells Like Teen Spirit #X" where X was an incremental number. Until Glycerine was released they all had the same chord pattern with slightly different tempos. You could apply this to many different groups, but Nickelback seems to suffer more bashing than most. I decided long ago that I would allow myself to enjoy a plethora of different musical genres, regardless of the talent an imagination that went into a song, so long as it was catchy and fun to listen do. Pften times the magic wears off quickly and I move on, but I still can enjoy hearing that song later down the road. So it is with Nickelback for me.

Calvin Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 I also happen to like a couple of Nickelback songs. So what? I remember when people were complaining about Green Day playing the same 3 riffs on all of their songs. What gets my goat are all the "sampled" & remake songs that become big hits. I don't care what anyone says - IMO Jessica Simpson's version of "Take My Breath Away" doesn't hold a candle to the Berlin version. But her version is treated like it is the original one. Blech...

Well, with that attitude pretty much everything we discuss on this forum is pointless, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberwoo Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 *shrug* Bands have been doing this for ages (especially "3 guys with guitars and a drummer" bands). This is why I haven't listened to the radio in years. It all sounds the same after a while. I'm so out of the loop when it comes to top 40 stuff.
