[kj] [Bulk] Re: Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

Yep, I've never really worked out why everyone seems to think they're so great.  They've always seemed pretty average to me - better than to listen to than most of the crap that's around, but not something I'd actually seek out / buy.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that I think White Stripes are over-rated. Not bad, in fact quite good at times. But over-rated. Meg is god-awful on drums, the link posted to disprove that did nothing at all for me. Jack sounded fine, she just has NO TALENT and can’t even keep a beat. As far as being hot – she’s not. And If you’re gonna listen to music for that, you might as well go whole hog and listen to the Pussycat Dolls J

 I saw them back in 2007 or something and she couldn’t come close to keeping a beat. Probably the most shitbox drummer I’ve ever seen.

For my money, Meg does quite alright for herself .... and looks damn good doing it.

I think the reason I never bothered with THE ARGUMENT was because END HITS was kinda a snore.

But let's get started on my list again, please. Hell, someone recently cited AFI -- that's just as bad (if not worse, in my book) than My Chemical Colostomy Bag.

Meanwhile, I have to say that I'm entirely loving the new Whie Stripes live album.

_End Hits_ and _Steady Diet_ were Fugazi's weakest LPs. I think their strongest LP was _In on the Killtaker_, followed by _Repeater_ followed by _The Argument,  followed by _Red Medicine_. "13 Songs" is a collection of two EPs. If you want to call it, however, an "LP," then I'd place it in 2nd place behind _In on the Killtaker_. Not every music lover would agree with this. Certainly not every Fugazi fan would. 

Compared to crap like The Vines and Be Your Own Pet and also (sorry) but a lot of the stuff, on for ex., Alex's Top 50 list, _The Argument_ is, IMHO, pretty damn great. It isn't someting I chose because it, hey, it's Fugazi, so, well, gotta give 'em props, regardless of their output. Because I honestly think their _End Hits_ LP from 1998 sucks.

I said this before and I'll say it again. The Arguement: A good album. Good, not great. Probably their weakest and definitely not worthy of a Top 50 that comprises an entire decade. A glaring omission? Only if they are being included simply because they put out any album at all, rather than an awesome album.
