Worst rock bands

[luiz]

I think the best way to describe the Black Eyed Peas is "entertainers". They certainly don't play rock, and I'm reluctant to call them a band.

 

[classical_hero]

BEP are a pop group of some description.

 

[Borachio]

Hmm. Black-eyed peas. I can't honestly remember. Rock band or not? And do I like them?

Wiki says they're a "hip hop group". Genres: "hip hop, R&B, pop, dance, alternative hip hop". Not a rock band, then.

But do I like them? Yeah. They're OK. I've got no argument with the lyrics, that's for sure.

Spoiler :

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK

But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah

Madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practise what you preach?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love, the love, the love

It just ain't the same, old ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace are so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong?

Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone

So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practise what you preach?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love (The love)?
Where is the love, the love, the love?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema

Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?

Sing with me y'all:
One world, one world (We only got)
One world, one world (That's all we got)
One world, one world
And something's wrong with it (Yeah)
Something's wrong with it (Yeah)
Something's wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah
We only got
(One world, one world)
That's all we got
(One world, one world)

Their music is no better/worse than Creed/Nickleback/etc..., but the WORST band name of all time has got to be "Hoobastank".

 

[Borachio]

Never heard of them. (Means nothing.)

Ooh look, they're popular:

A band that isn't good is not a rock band, by definition. They do not rock.

 

[warpus]

A band that isn't good is not a rock band, by definition. They do not rock.

Yeah, but among all the bands that do rock, the rocking happens on various levels of rockness. So out of all those who rock, there will always be he or she who rocks the least, or at least a group of bands who rock on an equally unsatisfactory level. So there will always be one who rocks the worst, no matter how you define rock.

 

[Zack]

Then it's not rock, it's mineral.

I do not pick and choose among bands that rock. I have no favorites. There are those that rock and everyone else.

 

[Zack]

I do not pick and choose among bands that rock. I have no favorites. There are those that rock and everyone else.

But warpus raises a good point. Say there are n "bands that rock." Wouldn't the difference between 1 and n be far greater than the difference between n and n+1? So why does n rock and n+1 not rock?

 

[JohnRM]

You are assuming that they can be ordered.

 

[bhavv]

All rock bands.

Would rather listen to Justin Bieber or Britney.

I would rather stab myself in the ears.

 

[warpus]

You are assuming that they can be ordered.

If they can't be ordered then they all rock at the same level.

However, from my experience it is usually possible to rock more than the amount of rocking that may be going on at any one time. So in the end various bands rock at their own unique levels of rock, among all the bands that do indeed rock.

 

[JohnRM]

They rock differently, but there is no level of rock'ness.

Think of it this way. For me, rock is binary. It is either off or on. You rock or you do not rock. 0 or 1.

 

[warpus]

No way will I ever accept that it's not possible to outrock somebody who rocks. That's not a world that I want my kids growing up in.

 

[bhsup]

A band that isn't good is not a rock band, by definition. They do not rock.

But do they roll? Rock is only half of the equation.

 

[Borachio]

Isn't it a euphemism for something else?

 

[caketastydelish]

Not that I even like Creed, but I hope the haters are happy.

The IRS has frozen his assets multiple times due to a "clerical error". Uh huh. Sounds like somebody may have been a little naughty on his tax returns.
