Topic: Kerrang's Top 100 Rock Bands EVER Posted: April 30 2009 at 23:48 |
Please, it's natural, the bigger the number of voters in a magazine, the smaller the percentage of Prog listerners you will find (Unless it's a Prog magazine).
And at the end....................................Who cares?
I like the music because of my taste, not because millions like it or because only me and other two lunatics know about them and i can feel superior, i love Fleetwood Mac, Meatloaf, Factor Burzaco or Abbhama, the first two extremely popular and the last two, are underground even here, but that doesn't affect my opinion, the four are outstanding to me.
Prog is not popular.......Learn to live with that.
Iván

Why does it list a song by them next to the band? Could it be perhaps,the top 100 rock band songs as in the guitar game or something? Just made me wonder seeing people couldn't find this list.

She just looked at me for a second and then kept talking to the other person. I saw her a couple more times, she didn't seem to hold it against me. I don't mind people listening to Fall Out Boy (hell, I used to like freaking Linkin Park), but I think at some point you should outgrow that. It's like an adult reading Twilight.

Oh no, a stupid reader poll, let's all waste time being upset because that will surely accomplish something! Next let's make another thread about the Rolling Stone Best 500 Albums list! MAN, WHY ISN'T ITCOTCK RATED HIGHER?

Well I think it's pretty clear that MCR, 30 Seconds to Mars, HIM, Paramore, Evanescence, Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, etc. are not good music. I once unintentionally laughed out loud when a girl at college said she liked Fall Out Boy. It was an awkward moment.

Seriously, am I the only person that finds it ridiculous that people care whether these lists have prog bands on them or not? Can't people just enjoy GOOD music, and not give a sh*t if it's prog or not? I like a fair number of the bands on the list, because I think they make GOOD music. Who gives a f**k if it's prog or not? People need to get over this attitude that prog is somehow inherently superior, it's a sickening attitude. And this is coming from a Collaborator of Prog Archives, no less.

NIN at #4, not bad. I'm impressed by such a, as you say, 'sellout' magazine.

I was hoping Black Dahlia Murder or Cattle Decapitation would make the list, at least Hinder...
I'd say there maybe 10 bands on this list that I listen to or would consider listening to, I must be behind the times

I'm... speechless. This only enforces my suspicions that Kerrang! own no real musical knowledge at all.

Why do people have to like what we do? Why is their musical taste so... "inferior"? "You like what you like" friend. I think that while most don't buy into it, there are still quite a few of those "holier-than thou" progressive music listeners. Not that it is much of a big deal either way. I suppose it is that way with all things.
