Kinda like Chuck Berry. I don't like him, I think most of his songs are rudimentary and derivative.
Some people think he's great.

Not exactly what I said. In music categorization vernacular garage or grunge means shitty or without polish ie sucks.By saying they suck you mean "they don't fit my personal taste". I mean, its like tall women. They don't suit your personal taste. You like short women But that does not mean that tall women are not highly fuckable for the rest of us.
Blues means something else.
Perhaps you've heard my theory anyway and that is if a kid has the headphones on listening to Guns and Roses and the music is moving him it is no more or less valid than anything Beethoven ever did.
Make sense?
And to clarify gipper read the sentence just before the one where I said I think they suck.

You said "what a load of shit". How is that illuminative?

I don't see how "rudimentary" is disparaging. Simple and pure may in fact be the best compliment one can make. And there is no music out there really that isn't derivative, fair to say?
-
Yer correct Gipper. I think it's a load of shit, can't stand to listen to it.
but...
If that music or Chuck Berry's music or any other music brings happiness to your soul then great. Don't know what you guys want me to say.
Derivative in the sense that he is credited with creating a new sound in rock music but swiped many of the signature licks from t-bone Walker.
And yes all music is derivative of something in some way or another. Nothing is created from a vacuum.
For that matter I'm not a big fan of Elvis Presley or Johnny Cash either.

But, of course, the best band of all....you know who....were also highly derivative.

Actually, I was referring to The Button Box Band.

I think the Black Keys are OK. they are not great by any means. IMO
But then again, I think Aerosmith is the WORST band of all time, but a lot of people love them.
-
Yeah I despise Aerosmith
-
I really like Aerosmith:
-
I especially hate early aerosmith
-
That's cool. They suck though. I hate Stephen Tyler
-
I went to a concert in 1988? It was Aerosmith with Guns and Roses as the opening act.
We left 2 songs into Aerosmith's set
Steven Tyler can't sing live
-
For that mater Guns N Roses puke set up a lot worse than Aerosmith. In my opinion. As always.

The concert I saw GNR was WAY better then aerosmith
The music was tight and Axl was a 1000% better singer then tyler
but that was in 1988 when GNR started and aerosmith was washed up
-
I really like GnR and The Black Keys. I really really don't like Aerosmith.
-
I like Santa Claus. He was the first rock star.

I think the Keys are uneven... Some of Auerbachs' stuff is just brilliant while other, often the next track, is just meh...
I have three CDs (Rubber Factory, Brothers and El Camino) and could easily whittle them to one very full disc. Mostly it'd be their stripped down, two-man efforts like...
But then I'm a known "homer". Be it a group from Akron or a QB from Lakewood, that's all it takes to win me over...
