Hell, you could add almost any Canadian band to the list, starting with Loverboy. But leave The Guess Who off the list. They were a good pop band.
now now!!! I dont think Loverboy is fair! Most Canadians dont even know they are Canadian. What about Rush and (you mentioned The Guess Who), dont forget Neil Young, Tragically Hip, Men Without Hats, Anvil (haha), Platinum Blonde, BTO, and Paul Anka. Gordon Lightfoot, and Rufus Wainwright,

ok, i will stop…..and i think Our Lady Peace is damn good as well.
You Canucks have no sense of humor! ;)

look, he admitted to liking our lady peace. There is no surer sign of a sense of humour.

No one has mentioned Ryan Adams, Barenaked Ladies or Alannis Nicorette.

ahhh. . .the hipster backlash against 70s rock and anything from the 80s that wasn't "indie."

and hearing critism of american rock bands from 2 brits is quite amusing (not to mention quite grating), although def leppard was british. all i have to say is that "pyromania" is one of theeeee best albums of the 80s.
Don't take it to heart V. Bede. Most of my friends over here in England like American bands as much, if not more, than the British bands. I feel like such an outcast!

This thread is incredible…

50 worst in Music History?…Wilco and Ryan Adams?

When did becoming media darlings make somebody an awful musician? You have to admit that Ryan Adams and Tweedy and company are incredibly talented. I am sure most people on this board raved about Wilco and Whiskeytown five years ago.

I didnt know that. My wife bought me season 1 already, I thought most of the BBC DVDs were all regions?

the new season is on BBC America right now, but I only saw one episode.

I've found that many of the people on this board were not musically savvy enough to have heard of Wilco, and especially Whiskeytown, five years ago.

Or maybe we just have better taste in music.

I've come to the realization Rhett is more of an arrogant obnoxious elitist little prick than GGW….sorry GGW, you're #2 now.

I had heard of wilco because of Billy Bragg. I have still not knowingly heard whiskeytown. Ryan Adams album was horrible.

I wasn't referring to anyone in particular, and I stand by my statement. Who here had heard of Whiskeytown five years ago, and who had not heard of them? I would guess most had not.
