8/30 Days of Music

[mahogany]

One band or singer whose popularity I will never understand.

This one is fun. Finally, I get to grouse about all of the overrated bands whose music assaults my ears when I turn on the radio. There are a few that baffle me. No Doubt, and Gwen Stefani's solo work, is high on my hit list. Everything about them bugs me. Also, Nickelback. Just. No. Terrible music. Terrible persona on the lead singer. Just terrible all round, and we poor Canadians are subjected to them even more because of the draconian CTRC rules on Canadian content on the air ways. Up until recently, Rush would have been on the list. I just don't get their music. I had always found it a bit pretentious, until about a month ago, I found myself thoroughly enjoying a Rush song. No, I don't know the title. So perhaps, they're aren't so pretentious after all. Either that, or I'm becoming more so :-)

The winner, however, is a band whose leader was a complete megalomaniac. They're no longer together (thankfully), but I still cringe every time I hear their music. It is the completely mediocre, and dreadfully tiresome: Oasis.

I know Nickelback. Like personally. The lead singer's cousin is my mom's accountant. Lots of other connections like that. They're from around our parts. Everyone I grew up with knows them. We thought they were just odd because they hit on girls too young for them. They played a lot of gigs in our town b/c it's a college town.
The lead singer married a hairdresser from my hometown. My primary question is therefore: why is his hair so BAD?
