Songwriting ability over technical prowess every day of the week

*Insert Malmsteen Picture here... what a douchie musician

Hate Malmsteen.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Because you say so?
"A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My libido
Yeah, hey, yay"
Yeah...okay. That's credible

He also penned things like "Teenage angst has paid off well, now I'm bored and old" I friggin' love that line... come at me

 

[I Dont Care]

Okay let's see where you're going with this...



lolle



loooollllleee



You could maybe argue this if they weren't the biggest band in the world while he was very much alive.

Duran Duran were too at one time.

 

[Dylan8]

I get that you could attack his technical ability but his songwriting, lol.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Duran Duran were too at one time.

That's fine.

Nirvana's status was at it's peak before Cobain suicided. The argument that they became more popular because of his death is stupid because they were already insanely popular.

The argument that Pearl Jam were better is more stupid but I guess it's subjective.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I hate Pearl Jam.... But prefer Alive to anything Nirvana has done.

Didn't one of Pearl Jams albums break records when it was released? I don't mind hearing Nirvana songs or Pearl Jams once in a while, I personally felt that those songs mentioned were better, that is a personal choice. I did not state in my original post that they became more popular than they were after Cobain's death, I wrote that it 'enhanced their status'. you know...the punk thing?

This is what I am getting at

 

[Papa G]

Ten and Vs are good albums. Lost interest rapidly after that.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

The Eddie Vedder soundtrack ruined Into The Wild for me

 

[El_Scorcho]

If Eddie Vedder had topped himself in the early 90s and Cobain was still alive today, Nevermind would still be head and shoulders above anything Pearl Jam have ever released.

I like Nirvana but Nevermind is actually the album I avoid.. hate the commercial over-produced sound

 

[I Dont Care]

Neil Young head and shoulders above both Pearl Jam and Nirvana IMO

 

[tribey]

Alive is a fantastic song/film.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I know m8

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

[I Dont Care]

1965-1975 is the most fascinating period in music for me

 

[Magpiespower]

Wa Wa Nee or GTFO...

It was the dawn of time as we know it

 

[bomberclifford]

There's good music in every era, you just need to open your mind as well as your ears and not get blocked by your prejudices.

Having said that, I fcuking hate both the Foo Fighters & Pearl Jam.
