tinnitus photography Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Minor Threat???. Just based on Dischord Records alone, I can't see how they are deemed overrated. Social D, 100% overrated.

Winston Legthigh Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 They had critical acclaim???I guess so, I don't really care. Can i just change my answer to "I think they suck, regardless of any perceived critical acclaim"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 DBTThis is a band I want to like, but I can't deal with Patterson Hood's style of singing. Any time I don't care for a band, that's the reason with very few exceptions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Defend them. I'm convincable.I don't think that it's anything that I can defend, per se. It's something that you just have to feel.I mean, yeah, they're basically just a bar band, but they're a goddamn INSPIRED bar band. And, as such, they have inspired not just me, but hundreds of other bands throughout the years, including the one that has brought us all together at this site.I guess the best I can do is maybe quote a lyric: "God, what a mess, on the ladder of successWhere you take one step and miss the whole first rungDreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilledIt beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten We are the sons of no one, bastards of youngWe are the sons of no one, bastards of youngThe daughters and the sons" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I never heard their great stuff. Only the pussy eagles era. I could add to this list: Any current band that appears on an Uncut magazine cd comp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-seven Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Jesus, Westerberg is one of the best song writers ever. That alone is enough for me but there's so much more to them. I understand why some aren't into it but for me they rank very high. They should be inducted but I don't think they or their fans would be shocked if it didn't happen. Replacements fans have learned not to expect much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Not deserving of the critical acclaim that they get:• Any Rolling Stones record post-Tattoo You. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There were certainly worse bands (and better bands). Their fans are aggressive chearleaders and that goes a long way towards overinflating things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
