The Red Hot Chili Peppers. And they're highly overated, too. I just find them incredibly boring, always sounding either chronically self-pitying (especially as they milk their drug pasts, pretending to be sorry about it while actually transparently trying to glamourize it) or trying excruciatingly hard to be exciting.

Me too. And what's really funny is that about 5 years ago, I made a compilation of all their songs that I could stand (for DJing school dances, which I do on the side). I figured that the occasional kid would come up to the table and say "Got any Chili Peppers?" and I'd at least have somethig tolerable. I designed a cover for it, and I named the compilation..."Way Overrated."
True.
True.

Celine-bloody-dion!!!
Don't forget - I live in the city where she sneezes and it makes the front page. And it's not just her. It's the entire Dion clan. Her mother has a cooking show on local TV. Her 13-or-so brothers and sisters had a Christmas sing-along show at the Montreal Casion last December. Can't go shoping without hearing Celine over the mall PA system. My friend is in middle management at Cabane; they recently had to close down the store for half a day b/c Queen Celine was coming to shop. My profs start their sentences with "when I went to school with Rene..." It's a plague. Gawd. If I hear one more thing about her frozen embryos I swear I will shoot somebody.

Typical Rush Lyric:
"Gather the Celestial Movement to Turn the Other Age
The Age of Mystic Life Ascending Upon our Lonely Place"
At least I knew what Jon Anderson and Yes were 'trying' to say. After the first RUSH album, which was virtually unpretentious and great rock, the follow-ups became so stifflingly pretentious that I couldn't listen.

Early on, they made some really cool records. Particularly liked "Real Men Don't Kill Coyotes"...and I have a real soft spot for "Under the Bridge", but there's so few good sincere songs about L.A.....bambooneedle wrote:The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

(I love gambling there -- it's actually against the rules to tip the dealer! And that Canadian money makes you feel like a real high roller! And then there's all those warning about not gambling too much. Kind of sweet.)

Three Doors Down is pretty icky.
And fuck Daryl Worley. Up the ass. Sans lubricant.
