Sunday Afternoon Rant

Here is a short list of bands that I am totally over:
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers - I do not believe it is possible for a band to be more overplayed. I am pretty sure that every radio station plays a RHCP song every at least every six minutes, whether it's a rock station, pop, hard rock, alternative, Mexican, Opera, Salsa, NPR whatever, they're all playing Californication right this second.
  • Metallica - Yes, yes, I know: if you like hard music you have to like Metallica. And even if you don't like hard music you have to respect Metallica. Well, I know it makes me an idiot in the eyes of most of the world, but I'm over Metallica. They did their thing, it was all cool when Enter Sandman beat out Bryan Adam's Everything I Do song that was playing every five seconds on every radio station that summer I turned 14, but hey, I'm almost 30, and I've decided that Metallica is no longer relavent. I can hear you know "What about Ride the Lightning?" Yes, even Ride the Lighting, let's move on.
  • Sublime - This isn't new. I've been over Sublime since day one. My brother came back from a summer in California when we were in high school, where he'd "discovered" this awesome band called Sublime. I was like, all right let's hear it! Which was quickly followed by a "this is it, this is pretty weak" That's how I still feel.
Ok, considering my often admitted to affinity for such bands as Linkin Park, Nickelback and other catchy over-produced crap rock, I know that I am in no position to be critiquing music, but hey this is my blog, so I can rip on any number of people with far superior talent than me that I choose.
