The voting system is back (for me at least?) - are we allowed to retroactively go back through this thread and enact justice?

I think an amnesty should be declared. This thread is a safe space.

I hated every minute of Dolly Parton's set in 2014

Picked the perfect time to go in on Dolly, didn't I? I even had a go at Nick Cave at the same time on the roast thread. eFests royalty, right there.

U2 and Coldplay have done some actually-alright albums - U2s weird period (Achtung, Zooropa, Pop) and Coldplay's debut (Parachutes) are all genuinely interesting/decent pieces of work.

[Mellotr0n]

Now on the more negative side:

Pearl Jam - Eddie Vedder's voice is SO cheesy, and paved the way for a load of absolute toss - Staind, Nickelback, Creed.

Nirvana are a BIT overrated. So are The Pixies.

Radiohead - Quite a few songs on The Bends are shit and cheesy, and have dated horribly - Bones & Sulk, to name two.

 

Duck and Cover!!!

I got AROBTTH on vinyl for Christmas and it’s been on pretty heavy rotation ever since.

Also decent. Started to slowly go a bit silly after that, even though the next 2 albums still had the odd banger.

I love Radiohead and that album, but yeah, it’s absolutely soaked in pure 90’s cringe, and although it’s held up by some incredible songs, I agree that some on there are a bit crap (although I’ve got a huge soft spot for Sulk).

That vocal style even has a name: "yarling"

This may be accurate, but you can't hold Pearl Jam responsible for Nickelback, just like you can't hold RATM responsible for Limp Biscuit or Jeff Buckley for the entirety of early-noughties bedwetter rock.

In terms of vocal style in all 3 examples mentioned the influence is there, and this is a thread for being bitter and slightly silly.

But even if you forget Nickelback, Eddie Vedder still has a really funny, cheesy voice.

Sorry.

Imagine Vic Reeves ditching club singing and aiming for Download instead.

We should never forget Nickleback, for those who forget are doomed to repeat.

I used to love Nickelback's first album, had it on CD. Could probably still sing along to most of it. Had a lot of laughs when How You Remind Me came on at Satan's Hollow.

Judgement Night is one of the best soundtracks ever and this track seems to contradict one of your 2 points. 

Into The Wild and Singles are also up there though to be fair.

Even pj make mistakes lol

Silver Side Up wasn’t their first album.

Their first album was Curb and it was a prettay prettay good grunge album.
