Reasons why I dislike Avril...
1. There are other Canadian groups/singers that are better, and don't get even half of the recognition she does.
2. She's all you ever hear on the radio in Canada.
3. She's NOT punk. Hello? Yeah, if she's punk, then punk music has gone down hill. Big Time.
4. Ever heard her early stuff? It's Gospel. Gospel. Punk. Sand and water.
5. She's whiney. Now, normally I like whiney singing voices (Raine Maida, Billy Corgan) but her's is just annoying.
6. When I state that I don't like her, I get flammed. Apparently I'm "jelous" of her talent. WTF? I know I can't sing. My voice is nails on a chalkboard x ten.
7. Even seen any of her interviews? She seems kindof full of herself...Maybe I'm interpretting her wrong, but that's how she comes off.
8. I know all of her bloody songs cause it's blasted through my house at least once a day.
9. Her whiney voice can even drown our Raine's.
10. Her a$$ hangs out of her pants. J-Lo NoNo.
And finally,
11. does she ever smile? I think I've seen her smile about 10 times. Is she trying to give off that "Oh, I can't stand the attention, I just want to sing.." deal?
Please don't flame me for this, I understand that there are a lot of Avril fans out there, this is just my opinion. Don't go all Kung Fu on me. Just please, try out some other Canadian music as well. I'm sure you'll enjoy other artists just as much! 
I think I'm listed many canadian bands in hopes to spread the awareness of GOOD canadian music.
Mudmen, OLP, Nickelback, Default, Great Big Sea, Grindig, The Salads, The Tea Party, Bif Naked, Moist/David Usher, I Mother Earth, Edwin, The Bleeding Heart Massacre, Left Pency, Finger Eleven (formerly known as The Rainbow Butt Monkeys).....and the list goes on.

Some people were talking about Avril covering songs last night. She covers basketcase and chop suey. I didnt know whether to laugh at avrils pitiful attempts or shoot myself.
You know what's really scraping the barrel? I think she's done a cover of "Knockin' on Heaven's door" for a charity album. I heard an ad for it on the radio today.
I can only say

Ocyrrhoe Trazere was listening to Cher while typing:
Alanis Morrisette.
Bahahahahahaha.
I have her CD I happen to like her, because she sounds more old school rock that I grew up with than most of those crap bands out there today. At least she has a different sound then every other damn bad on the radio. There is NO originality in the music industry anymore. Every band sounds like half a dozen other bands. In the 80's and 90's that wasn't the case. There were similarities and it was a genre, but your own sound is what got you sold, not your image potential.
I play Avril on my SHOUTcast, and most can attest its like old school rock like back in the 80's and 90's.. They just overkilled Complicated on the radio, but Art and Batty have had to sit through it. She's actually a lot more talented and more retro than most people give em credit for. In general she doesn't fit with today's style.
Complicated drives Batty nuts, it's a good torture device.
And my god, don't even get me started on Alanis Morrisette being good and or better. She was the ultimate whiney bitch in rock history. I liked her at first, and then I just wanted to slap the fuck out of her, cause I bought the CD and all she ever DID was whine and bitch and moan.

Trent was naked while typing this:
Somehow, I think I'm very lucky I've never heard any of her stuff.
I actually like her first song.
Yeah, she sucks, but she sucks on the same level as Birtney Spears, boy bands, all that crap sucks. Sucks, but dosen't bear thinking about.
I just focus on the good stuff.

Rush was and is probably the best band to ever come out of Canadia.
Suffice to say not much good has come from Canada...

Everyone forgets the best canadian singer: William Shatner, his contributions to music are unmatchable.
hehe, he does a kickass job doing a song with Ben Folds.
The Guess Who.
Best Canadian rock group, hands down.
I'm sure you've all heard the song "American Woman", since most people don't recognize the band.
Other Canadian groups, BTO, Barenaked Ladies, Sum 41, Treble Charger...
Okay, I'm stretching it here. *snickers* Treble Charger opened for OLP and they are really good live. Not really my music, but they keep you entertained to say the least!

Ezvien impressed everyone with:

My sister downloaded one of her Chop Suey (Or was it System of a Down.. I think it might of been them actually..) covers, and at the end, one of her bandmembers says even says that she ruined the song. I forget the exact quote.

If I like something, I'll listen to it and probally nothing else from that band.
Fae has it right. Back in the now "dark ages" of rock, you sold yourself on what you could do. You could go buy a CD/Cassette and listen to most songs on it and be happy. Now you're lucky to get 3 good songs per disc but you have to buy all 12.

Not entirely true. Before, it was just the bands that gave you such a bitter taste in your mouth with their songs weren't the "mainstream." But they were there. And there are a few CDs/cassettes I own from mainstream bands back then that I still didn't like that much.
Now, those CDs are still out there, you just have to look further than Britney Spears and N'Sync to find them. Whoever these artists may be will vary for everybody, but they're there.

Suddar had this to say about the Spice Girls:
Music is impossible to overrate.
Not really.
quote:
How do you feel when a critic says your music is shitty?First of all, I dont care enough about what he thinks to feel anything. Who the fuck is he? Who is a critic? If he's so fuckin' good at music why dont he make the shit? Look, this is what I believe and it you disagree go fuck yourself! The Spice Girls are the shit! Why? Cause they sold 10,000,000 albums bitch! Sure, me and you might not like their music but fuck us! 10,000,000 other people love it! How can we say they suck? How the fuck can we say they have no talent when 10,000,000 people love there shit? They make all those people happy with their music yet I'm going to stand up and state it as a fact that they suck?? Who the fuck am I? I take my fuckin' hat off and say "You girls are the shit! I might not dig it myself, but that's just me You girls are definitely the shit". Besides, I'd fuck the shit out of all of them if I could! Check this out. I've rocked 3000 Juggalos in concert and every last one loved the show. They would chant ICP for 15 minutes after the show wanting more. Then I get up the next morning and read the paper and here's some dick head critic reviewing our show and talking about how much the show sucked! What??? What about the other 3000 that loved the show you fuckin' asshole? What are you trying to say? That they are all wrong and you're right? Fuck you! I cant believe critics even exist in this world. I thought the fun about life was judging shit for yourself. I dont need some bitch ass critic judging for me. If a movie sucks, I'll be my own judge of that. I dont give a fuck what Siscle's fat ass thinks. I Dont need Ebert to tell me it sucks! I Could give a fuck less about what Ebert likes! I'm Violent J! I'll tell you what I like and dont like! Fuck what somebody else thinks is the shit or sucks! Fuck critics! Siskle and Ebert both said the movie Crimson Tide was a great film and they gave it two thumps up! Well I saw it and I say it sucked!! So Siskle and Ebert can go fuck each other! How's that? And every other critic can eat shit and die? Even if you loved our shit and you gave it a good review, who gives a fuck what you think!? Keep our name out of your shit, cock suckers! Fuck off!
He likes the words "fuck" and "shit" a little too much, but still.

Canada's gonna have a lot to answer for, what with Shatner's singing and Alex Trebek's....just being Alex Trebek.
But on the plus side, they also gave us Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and most of the really funny folks in Second City. [ 04-19-2003: Message edited by: Callalron ]
