"What I'm getting at is this: the basic problem of rock fans is that they're a bunch of lazy tin-eared babies who would gladly gobble up whatever some circle-jerking hype-rag like Spin or Rolling Stone tells them to like (or worse yet, maybe they take the advice of Pitchfork Media, if they fancy themselves hipsters or are to cheap to buy magazines)"

1. Radiohead is terribly overrated, however, they spent a good decade in obscurity while other British bands like Blur and Oasis got all of the hype (I actually happen to like the latter two bands more, btw).

2. It's "too," and someone jumping all over rock journalists damn well better edit their shit better.....

Radiohead was a fucking great band plain and simple. People who dislike it are just fucking morons who couldn't understand brilliance if it hit them over the head with a sledgehammer. That article was painfully unfunny, because the author seems to think ever single Radiohead is a Radiohead fan to be cool. Well, guess what? When I'm sitting around listening to Radiohead on headphones, it's for my enjoyment, and not to impress some dimwits.

There are far more worthy targets for his argument than Radiohead. He just sounds like a bitter failed muso anyway.

He did an article on Tool today. It's funny, tho he just complains about the fans more than the music.... tho that works.

Wether you agree with him or not, they're still totally humourless articles that shouldn't have been put up on a site like SomethingAwful in the first place. Christ, even the hate mail is boring.

Truth Media, on the other hand, was hilarious.

The whole point to "something awful" is to make fun of things that large amounts of people like with a pation. By getting pissed off your just doing what the author wants you to do.

... and you can pick on Jamband fans rather than Tool fans (or any other dumn ass band fans), but at least they listen to better music.

I would like to hear somebody say something intelligent on how bad jamband Music is, without refering to drug usage or the fanbase.

I don't care about their fans, other than the fact that they think their favorite music is some how the greatest artistic "experience" EVER. Why are they good, because they are so "diverse" and can withstand 15 minute long solos...? Where they over-compensate in music they severely lack in writing, which is a key part of the music for me....

It is true that most Jambands lack in songwriting(except for GDs lyricists Robert Hunter), but thats why they are more known for there musical compositions and there ability to turn a concert in to an actual "event" rather than some promotional gathering for band to sell overpriced crap and promote there music.

People also think JamBands are great because of there ability to improvise and the vast amount of talented musicians in the scene. Which is something rare In todays music. Whats so wrong with 15 minute solos and half hour songs anyway? the concept of songs being under 4 minutes comes from the time when record companies were trying to make money off of singles and throw crap on the radio.

Grateful Dead aren't nessecarily a Jam band. American Beauty and Workingman's Dead, their two best albums, are both folk and country albums. But, jam bands do usually suck, unless they focus, and write some great tunes. GD has done that.

Jam bands bore the ever living shit out of me. That's why they suck.

i know someone, and their brother writes all this stuff.
it can be funny sometimes, it's just used to piss off the radiohead board people though.

i guess the funny part of this is that the writer likes all of these bands.

First off, The Dead are the godfather of all jambands. American Beauty and Workingmans Dead were folk and country albums. Im not sure what jambands you have listend to, but the genre pretty much covers every type of music you can listen to. Yes a lot of jambands suck, but a lot punk bands suck, a lot rock bands suck, alot metal bands suck, alot of jazz bands suck, alot of country bands suck, alot of fusion bands suck....you can go on for years about how many bands suck.

Plus if you honestly think WD and AB are the best Dead albums you either haven't listend to Wake of the Flood or Blues for Allah or your just one of them dumass writers for the Rolling Stone.

IF jamband music bores you you are a very sad person.

No, they are fucking great albums. The only other Dead album I could give a shit for is Anthem of the Sun, and I guess that would be prog-jam or something.

Im not denying they are great albums, Im just saying that they don't nearly represent what the Dead had to offer.

Edit: If Anthem, Workingmans, and American Beauty are all you know the Dead by than you really need to do some more listening. Download a show Buy a Dicks Picks or something. Any dead head will tell you that you haven't heard the Dead until you have heard LIVE dead.

And worshiping Joe Strummer and Tom Waits is good taste? Whatever, i give up, you can go on and live with your musical snobiness.
