Oh god, you really had to push me, didn't you?
Jazz is the epitome of shit as it relates to frequency traveling through the atmosphere. That said, my defense is that I typed this 3 times in my last response but managed to delete it.:D
You may want to visit New Orleans if you're a huge fan of Jazz, our group went to a Jazz concert and I left after the first 5 minutes to go bar hopping alone. JAZZ MAKES MY EARS BLEEEEEED:mad: :(
Funny that, I like jazz way more live than on record, because it's amazing to see a proper big band work together for example.

But saying that jazz sucks is exactly the same as what's-his-head saying that rock sucks.
There's just so broad of a spectrum covered by both genres that you'd be an idiot to say either of those things.
True true. I don't enjoy classic rock and have no interest in delving into it any more than I already have, since there's so much other, more interesting stuff to check out, but it's silly to say the genre is all bad and horrible.

I wouldn't quite second that, but it still makes me chuckle. And I got my fair amounts of jazz records by Miles, Bill Evans and ehm... Miles.
The pinnacle of melting jazz and rock by still staying clear of the dreaded spheres of Fusion (as they point out their fear in the album's liner notes and I think they managed quite well to do so) is the record "Roadworks Vol II - The Motorsource Massacre" by Norwegian rockers Motorpsycho and jazzers The Source (I think they're descendants from the group Jaga Jazzist) and the noise generating Deathprod (also known as Helge Sten from electronic freaks Supersilent). They more or less play along each other in their styles and it gets very weird, sometimes odd and dissonant but remains accessible and interesting.
80's were dark times for jazz. There's so much garbage and Miles proved that even he can come up with absolutely horrible stuff any Led Zeppelin record would beat. :p
Dunno if it's just me, but I can't enjoy keyboard/synths in jazz usually. They always sound shite.

They sure did fuck up. But I guess not because of lack of talent or big egos, but because they never held back live. They knew they might fuck up but why not trying? Some call it self indulgence, others call it artistic freedom. I'm no fan of weeklong drumsolos and stuff, but as long as the artists keeps some humour about it, I'm fine. I dunno, Zep never bore me like other classic rock acts do.
As a bassplayer, I'd always prefer Jones to Glover. Ever heard his "Elements" solo album from around '78? Weeee that's pretentious. But I actually liked it once. Jeeez. Which brings me back to topic for once. I can't think of anything overrated. But there's lots of pretentiousness and annoyances. And tons uf underrated stuff.
Haven't heard Elements, but I do enjoy Jones as well as Glover.
Anyways, I didn't think this would spread to such big discussion, but I guess Led Zeppelin is quite a major band for lot of people, so it should have been awaited. Me considering them overrated doesn't compare in any way to the acts you mentioned...

this is way too serious.
here's overrated (as in overrated by the uninformed but you all know that):
red hot chili peppers
linkin park
nightwish
adam green
amy winehouse
michael bay
no country for old men (i love every other coen film)
fallout 3
far cry 2
bioshock
oasis
that new band whose singer looks like an 18 year old adam green
the fifth element
star wars original trilogy (meaning not better than the new trilogy)
the dark knight
ok, that's still serious.
...here, especially Oasis. That's a band I won't hold back bashing at any given moment. Urgh. They should fully concentrating making themselves look like arses in media (if they aren't doing it already) than music, since that's at least somewhat hilarious.

6 posts, seriously? WTF
Anyway, as good as Tool are (and I've seen them live, err, too), I don't see how they would diminish anyone's appreciation for RATM. Ah, well, to each their own, I guess.

annoying and extremely unsexy hags:
beyonce
I saw a Beyonce video on YT lately, don't ask why. The last comment read something like
BeyonceFan35632: "
Beyonce is the greatest!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ I listen to her music all day!!"
I was in a snotty mood and answered:
Kolya33: "
That's why no one likes you."
k, nothing surprising so far. A few days later I sign in on YT and after a while I notice that tiny icon flashing that looks like a letter a honeysucker would bring. I click and read:
BeyonceFan35632: "
Why are you so mean? Why did you say that no one likes me? You are stupid."
I had to sit back for a moment and contemplate my internet karma. Then I wrote back a very nice message to this apparently 13 year old girl, that I'm terribly sorry about my comment and while I don't know her I'm sure she's really nice and has lots of cool friends.
Went back to commchat and fortunately forgot all about it, until just now. :(

you are a meanie, kolya. no longer bff.

I don't know about Beyonce and Aguilera being hags, but I do know that if the chance came up to have a crack at either of them I'd do it in a heartbeat.

probably, but that doesn't change anything. it's their seizure inducing screaming that defines their haggyness.
