I have a friend who's a huuuge Primus fan and her favourite album is the Brown Album, so maybe it's a grower that just hasn't clicked for me (or most other people) yet. imho Frizzle Fry is the one that's most consistently good – Seas of Cheese and Pork Soda have great moments but also a lot of skippable stuff.

In spirit of said debate: Gaga and Bizkit are both waaaaay more credible artists than LP. Sure, they're both oafish – Bizkit particularly, of course – in ways that LP wasn't, but they've also at one point or other made music which sounds new. (While he's obviously the weakest element of the band and the main reason…

That's the real tragedy here – while everyone's debating whether or not Linkin Park is worse than Limp Bizkit (which it is, btw), Papa Roach is quietly sucking even worse than any of them, and getting away with it too.

CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES

I'm ashamed to have gotten the reference after a moment or two of squinting at your comment :/

nah, not really. Knowing that about 100 people died in the Tay Bridge disaster doesn't make McGonagall's poetry any less awful.

Yeah, that's a weird attempt at 'tribute'. Trying to absolve anyone else of any culpability, maybe? I've seen a few pieces/comments speculating that the critical response to their fuck-awful music pushed him over the edge (someone else can make the song reference), so maybe they're reassuring fans who hated 'Heavy'…

Upvoted because I agree in principle, but for some reason I'm more forgiving of G'n'R than I am of any of the bands I've listed. For some reason the handful of mildly enjoyable tracks by G'n'R (Welcome to the Jungle, You Could Be Mine) make me more forgiving of crimes like Sweet Child o' Mine and November Rain.

Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Queen…

If the Thanos horde is going to be CGI'd and voice-acted, then it's time to bring Tim Curry into the MCU.

I've seen Future of the Left nine times, was set to see them a tenth time before an abrupt break-up put paid to their double-figure status. Given my High Fidelity-esque assignment of emotional baggage to music, I listen to them barely-to-never now, and would much rather another band overtake them. Statistically Faith…

“Mama, here comes moonlight with the dead moon in its jaw”

F'real! I'm afraid I can't back you on that one, although my hatred is not so much of Nardole as it is of Matt Lucas (but seeing as Matt Lucas is incapable of playing anyone other than himself that's kind of the same thing…)

The best that can be said of it is that we're hopefully now shot of Matt Lucas.

This is true – RTJ2 starts off pretty great but I lose interest about halfway through.

Actually, the first one's probably the one I'm most likely to listen to, due to Mike's jaw-dropping verse on Job Well Done and the banging beat on Get It. I swear there's at least one track on both later albums where the beat is comprised mostly of El saying 'RTJ'.

Tali-Band on the Run?

Haha cold. (But fair…)

Granted, if anyone can come up with creative ways of stating that repeatedly, it's those two, and their guest spot on 'Nobody Speak' just last year was a pretty great example of that. I just miss the old El and his PKD-referencing raps.

Afghan Whigs' and Vince Staples' are the only new albums that I've given repeat listens to this year, although I need to give Jidenna's another go soon. The Whigs album was sorely underrated by the AV reviewer.
