I seem to be the only one who agrees that every band on that list deserves it. Well, here's mine..
1. Jason Mraz
2. Jackson Browne
3. James Taylor
4. Dave Matthews Band
5. Linkin Park
6. Atreyu
7. Fall Out Boy
8. Fleetwood Mac
9. Insane Clown Posse
10. Any band that doesn't involve Brendan Kelly, Paddy Costello, Jello Biafra, Joe Strummer, Bruce Dickinson, Dave Mustaine, Jason Shevchuck, Matt Canino, Tom Gabel, or Stza.

Seriously where are they on that list. You people must have forgot.the Jonas Brothers don't fall into the rock genre, they just suck in general

Lol agreed, but the the thread never stated the genre.
i know, someone above posted something about the rock genre and Jonas Bros
Your least favorite bands that you've only heard a few songs from, you mean?Bloodbath_87Haha, exactly what I was thinking.
[QUOTE="xboxplayer1990"][QUOTE="skullkrusher13"][QUOTE="Matt-4542"]While I dont like them, they had to have some measure of quality to get noticed and start selling.skullkrusher13
Image, having lyrics that appeal to the band's target audience, etc.
That's not musical quality. ICP has not one bit of talent when it comes to music which is instruments and vocals and that is what my list is based on. Image is for the eyes not the ears.
Never said it was musical quality, dude. I'm saying a band's image is the reason why bands get big. If you look like an archetypical rock band, you have the hot, sexy and egomaniacal lead singer, shredding guitar player, etc. and can play generic rock music with catchy choruses, etc. you probably will make it big. Record companies pray on anything that will sell albums.
Most mainstream music appeals to both male and female, and of various age groups. Yes, you need basic skills as a band to become big, but you don't need too much.
I disagree strongly, take a band that I listen to a lot and is certainly mainstream, if not "Jonas Brothers" level of popular
Heres Thom Yorke, the lead singer
Most would agree, he is not your stereotypical "studly" lead singer, I mean, look at my avatar, he's pretty damn freaky looking. He is short, has bad teeth, balding, and has a paralyzed eye.
HEEERREES Jonny
He's not a "hawt" guitar player, just look at him. His hair flops around like a muppet onstage, and he definitely is not a shredder, yet he is considered one of the best guitarists in the world.
Image=/=Popularity instead, Skill=Popularity, at least with any bands worth mentioning in the same sentence as music.
I think you fail.
Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and Panic! At The Disco have HUGE fanbases.
Linkin Park is probably a top selling artist of this generation.
Slipknot has legions of maggots
Korn has a huge fanbase
Disturbed are unstoppable in their fan count.You fail, again.
I do agree about Insane Clown Posse and Cannibal Corpse though. Judging by CC's albums covers, theyre a joke of a band and I dont see how anyone could take them seriously but w/e

You have no idea what you are talking about :(
The crappyness of a band does not correlate with how many fans the band has.
Cannibal Corpse are not garbage. I wish everyone would realize that. All you have to do is get past he lyrics. Althougth they do have some songs with good lyrics.That would be a good list for "10 worst bands of this generation"
And lol @ everyone defending the bands that they cherish so much.

"They're not garbage! Just ignore the lyrics!"
You're assuming that they even understand Monsieur Corpsegrinder's raspy "blaaarghs!" and various other ear-shattering ejaculations.

Gutteral vocals are very hard to do and to sound good at doing them. I like the way They sound. Just like you like whatever music you like.[QUOTE="darksword1123"][QUOTE="airg6"][QUOTE="peeviness"]Cannibal Corpse are not garbage. I wish everyone would realize that.

Gutteral vocals are very hard to do and to sound good at doing them. I like the way They sound. Just like you like whatever music you like.Congratulations, you like it when grown men growl. There's nothing wrong with that, but the second you argue that "[they] are very hard to do and to sound good at doing them," your argument is worthless.

Try it. Look up a song by Cannibal Corpse and cover it. Then ill agree with you.

ome on. Do it if its so easy. Next time, know what your talking about before you post.You're being thick because you assume that I've called Corpsegrinder and his death grunting friends talentless.
airg6
Your argument was essentially this: "Cannibal Corpse isn't garbage because it's hard to do gutteral vocals! I like Cannibal Corpse!"
Who cares about how hard it is to play the music, if the music is garbage?
[QUOTE="the4got10one"]huh?[QUOTE="wrlyy"][QUOTE="TheFlameProof"][QUOTE="wrlyy"]Queen, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Lynard Skynard, The Who, Iron Maiden, Disturbed, Black SabbathTheFlameProof
Are you serious?
if it weren't for those bands (minus disturbed) rock music wouldn't exist as it does today.My thoughts exactly.

That proves you wrong. You did in fact say that they're not hard to do. You we're at the least implying it.
