lizish Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Go grab your top 10 or 15 artists and say something negative about them: 1. The Broken Family Band Enough with the sarcasm. We get it 2. You Am I Three words: Haircuts all around. 3. Deadly Snakes So you broke up. How special. Get over whatever the personal issues were and re-form. 4. Reigning Sound Umm, a forth record would be nice. 5. New Pornographers So one of you sounds like Burt Bacharach, the other like Bowie, and the other like Patsy Cline. How can you agree on anything? 6. Magnolia Electric Company One good album, one Molina solo dirge, another good album, another Molina solo dirge. At least you are predictable. 7. M. Ward Dear Matt. You are an excellent guitarist. Here's a thought - maybe you should play more guitar on your albums. 8. The National Sameyness is not a virtue 9. Weakerthans Fucking Winnipeg. The city is next to dead. Move to someplace warm. 10. Rock Plaza Central Could you please become, umm, a little less, yknow, weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Bob Mould has became too happy to write the kind of music that he was great at making back when he was depressed. Happy for him, but miss the great songs of Workbook, Copper Blue, Beaster, Zen Arcade, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Will Oldham: Your head is huge and strange. (But I actually think it's an awesome head...) Eef Barzelay: Enough with the rhyming couplets, already. Wilco: You guys don't do nearly enough shirtless photo shoots. Stephen Malkmus: ....couldn't come up with anything bad...he's too much teh awesome. Looks like I suck at dissing. I'm not even going to try to have a go at Andrew Bird or any of my other rock star boyfriends. I'm a Miss Nicey Pants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAngerer09 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Wilco- Sky Blue Sky was a major letdown Death Cab For Cutie- Why do you always have at least 1-2 songs on your albums that are just plain boring? Ben Folds- you are getting worse with age. Sufjan Stevens- cut down on the game showiness of some of your songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lynch Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 The Tragically Hip- sorry, but you bore the crap out of me these days, and Bob Rock is producing your new album AGAIN? Bob Dylan- What the fuck are you talking about? James- ever heard of North America? Sometimes people play concerts there too! .....I better stop now. It's Friday, I am in a good mood, and all these are like a little knife in my heart already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCP Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Jason Molina - sometimes I find the songs on your terrific solo albums sound all a little a like.Will Oldham - why do you have to ruin a good song by singing about fucking a mountain?Wilco - plays in the states (specifically Chicago) way too much.

lizish Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Son Volt- Remember that time Trace was better than AM and we all thought you were the future? Then Wilco kicked your ass for the next decade? You must really hate that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Son Volt- Remember that time Trace was better than AM and we all thought you were the future? Then Wilco kicked your ass for the next decade? You must really hate that. ouch. Still, Wilco has never recorded a song as good or as timeless as "Windfall" or "Tear-Stained Eye"(nor has Son Volt, post-Trace) (EDIT: And, of course I say this with a ton of love for Wilco.)

ction Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Drag the River - I like that you guys have such variety in your songwriting. Like, some of the songs are about drinking beer, and some are about drinking whiskey. There's even one about drinking while taking pills!! Ramones - Nice wig, Marky. Hop on Pop - I like ELO too, but you don't see me forming a tribute band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hop on Pop - I like ELO too, but you don't see me forming a tribute band. You really like me?!?! EDIT: And, really, I'm more of a Move guy than ELO, but you're in the ballpark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Bruce Springsteen needs to pony up the cash and fix his underbite Neil Young should have laid off the drugs in the 70's...he's officially fried. Plus...get a hair cut hippy Alejandro Escovedo...ok we get it. You're Alt Country, Folk AND Punk. "I wanna be your dog" with strings...cute. Now go write some more great fucking songs.

Mr. Heartbreak Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I'm gonna go all sorts of old school here. Pink Floyd - You guys never did better without Syd. Frank Zappa - Too many poo-poo jokes, Uncle Frankie. Grateful Dead - Sorry, but most of your studio albums aren't that great. Joni Mitchell - Say, did you notice that your first two albums sound just like Joan Baez? Hendrix - Can you say "undignified death?" Warren Zevon - Dude, I read your bio, and you really were a misogynist. Dylan - Hey, Bob, ever notice how everybody else sings your stuff better than you do? Not a favorite, but I can't resist this last one: Son Volt - You mean "Windfall" and "Tear Stained Eye" are actually two completely different songs?! Now, this is really just for fun, and I'm not going to start a big firestorm like in my comments on rap, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Wilco: You guys don't do nearly enough shirtless photo shoots. Old 97's: Instead of putting out one album every couple of years that is maybe half-full of good songs, put out a really amazing album every 4 years. Also, that live concert video you did at the Troubador in LA a few years back - it has a ton of close-up shots of Rhett. I was at that show and there wasn't a camera close enough to get those shots. Upon close inspection of the footage it's pretty clear that you re-filmed Rhett after the show to get that angle. Cheesy. (Great show, though!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
