Tenacious D

... So, lucky me, I get to listen whatever the hell I feel like at work. That democracy ended up with someone else at the office discovering his love for that hideous Tenacious D band. I crave for elevator music now... I already can't stand Jack Black as comedian, ¿but singer?... horrible beyond believe. Michael Bolton sounds great compared to this band, wich is nothing but a torment. I can't complain though, wich makes the whole situation more and more ironic each day (co worker -a great guy- loves Jack Black and knowing that he also has a band was like when I knew Magma had a new release for me, pure joy). So, ¿does anyone know Ketih Emerson's address, email, whatever, so I can writte to him saying that Jack Black said he sucks, so Emerson can go to their place to kick them to death?...

i actually kinda like tenacious d. some of their songs are kinda funny but i agree it does get a little boring after a while.

Some of my friends like Tenacious D,  it was ok for a while, but the humor faded rather quickly for me. Not terrible music, but nothing to sustain any interest really. I'd give them 5/10, which I think is a fair rating.

Man, some people need to lighten up.  It's just funny!

Admittedly the 2nd TD album wasn't that funny, but the first one has the unbeatable combination of Tribute, Wonder Boy and f**k Her Gently. 

I don't know, it's still funny to me everytime.

I never really thought it was any funny. I understand how you feel, cuncuna. 

Uhm... I like humor, wich means I like things to be clever and unespected. Those Tenacious D albums (wich by no means I try to understad, having lyrics in a foreing language for me) are just obvious. I can writte 100 of those and then find some guitar player to make another obvious contribution by choosing obvious chord progressions. I can't say the same thing for Frank Zappa albums. That takes a genius.

Go right ahead ... let me know when you've written just one track which is on the same level. It's not as easy as a non-musician might think.

I'm probably the only person on the archives who actually thought the pick of destiny was a good movie.     You're not alone. Although the movie is amazingly silly, it's funny as hell!   As for their songs, they're quite good!

Agreed.

Yes, steve howe is definitely an abomination of nature. Actually, Rick might be the hottest member of yes, which is kinda worrying.
Strange, if i were to choose one to start a family with in the early 70's, Bill is the one i would have picked last (apart from Steve howe, but hey, i don't even want to think about that), and nowadays he's quite the babe for his age. Relative to the other proggers, of course.
