I know that. That doesn't mean the song is a story. The lyrics are just vague references, and allow the listener to attach whatever meaning to them they wish. Half the lyrics are completely irrelevant to the song anyway, just thrown in because Kurt Cobain was an idiot and couldn't come up with anything better.Quote:

most overrated band TODAY: Fergie. I know she's not a band but she still sucks bad. And I think she was even nominated for a Grammy.
I also don't think The Tragically Hip is as good as most people think they are...
I love coldplay though, someone mentioned them as being overrated. I would have to agree with the U2 comment tho- I just don't understand their appeal.
I know exactly what I'm talking about. I was an avid Nirvana fan, I've heard every song...when I was 13 that was deep to me. I'm sure you find deep meaning in those lyrics, you seem stupid enough, so enjoy it. I honestly don't care if crap your pants.Quote:

if you knew what you were talking about you wouldn't have said all the story related shit... it was about a specific event, it was made just for that specific event.. it wasn't just some coincedence... so no, you don't know what you're talking about...
and i've decided to not start in with insults (i realized about a week ago i went back to insulting people for no real reason) and i'd appreciate if you didn't either... this is all opinion... why can't some of you seem to realize about that? there is no fact of the most overrated band... there is no way it can be fact, so there's no reason arguing over it... the band you think is overrated, will be thousands of other people's favorite band...
it's not something that can be debated it's opinion... maybe i angered you with the beatles statement, maybe you just have a stick up your ass, i don't know and i don't care to know... but next time you feel the need to result to personal insults, just keep it to yourself... please. thank you.
oh yeah, more on the story part.... there's like hardly any bands that write their lyrics based on a story or event, and even less songs by the bands that deal with this.... so that's a completely irrelevant argument... real lyrics are wrote about feeling, not experience... they may sometimes refrence events, but far more often then not, it's about the feelings at the time....
so, please, just grow up and move on... i have no desire to sit here and argue about something like this with a 14 year old.. and if you're not 14, you still hold the mentality of one.... insults as responses to arguments go out at about that time... 15 year olds are usually learning to how to debate without resorting to personal insults...

your basicly saying that in order for music to be good it has to have deep meaningful lyrics??
Or better yet if they dont have meaningful lyrics there overrated. well. i seem to recall you arguing for mozart or bach w/e and as far as i know they contain no lyrics whatsoever, anyway.
You say, "The lyrics are just vague references, and allow the listener to attach whatever meaning to them they wish. Half the lyrics are completely irrelevant to the song anyway"
Idk how you interpert that but i think you just majorly contradicted yourself. If the lyrics are vauge and anyone can attach whatever meaning they want wouldnt that mean that more people can accualy relate to the music?
polly was a bad example also, why dont you re-listen to Sappy (verse chorus verse, w/e they call it now)
I dont consider every band with "vauge lyrics" a great band because most people can relate. I love all types of music, with lyrics and without, i feel that dismissing a band based souly on their lyrics is a tad narrow minded. Lyrics are the most meaningless part of a song. unless your into some mainstream, but i wont even go there
and btw, you dont need to argue with personal attacks.
slip: idk what you were talkin about before but i wasnt tryin to portray any bad feelings either.

^^^ that whole thread lol... and i didn't say you were trying ot portray bad feelings, i was just saying, i think there was a misunderstanding and i had none...
lol i didnt forget about that, no doubt tho, i dont got enough time to hold grudges.
uhh was that an oxy moron???
kind of? lol..
Any band that got more famous after the band broke up or a member died is obviously overrated. . .
