lots of poison and ratt fans i guess.  there are still a lot of people who hate nirvana because they think they killed "real music".

 

hanson and ace of base were harmless and i'm kind of surprised anybody remembers them.

 

limp bizkit's success, though, is still mind boggling to me.  people forget that they were the biggest band in the world for a year or two depending on how you look at it.  they had sold a million albums in a single week at one point.

I will admit to listening to Limp dick in middle school before I got any sense. I think Wes was just crazy looking so I thought they were cool. Nirvana shouldn't have been on the list. I don't like them much, but they were talented. People forget sometimes that simplicity is a sign of genius.

 

Nickelback and creed are disgraces to music. Dave Matthews band is arguable, but they have some talent. Great drummer.

I never liked Nirvana all that much. One thing a lot of these bands have in common is a raspy/gravely voice. I typically can't stand it.

 

I like DMB OK. They were so overplayed in college that it got boring. I thought their concert was decent live.

 

The imitations after Nirvana have definitely affected people's views on them. They were great for what they were, even if they ripped off the Pixies.

i was a big korn fan when i was younger and aesthetically stunted as many teenagers are.  even during the three dollar bill yall$ days i could barely stomach limp bizkit/fred durst and it only went downhill from that point with their subsequent albums.

 

i'm honestly shocked korn wasn't on that list.  maybe it's because their biggest hit songs weren't as egregiously bad as limp bizkit's.

I was a budding, young guitarist. Wes looked fuging crazy, and i was impressionable. But Wes is better than some people might think. Look at some of his loop pedal sessions on youtube.  I also heard Nickelback's drummer is in a funk/jazz band that's pretty good, but I've never heard of them. The bands that "make it" now just make their songs to appease the masses to get paid. There is very little musicianship in mainstream now, although i have been pleasantly surprised by some bands every now and then.

 

And I don't know why you think Korn should be on there. All things considered, they had a unique sound.

I'm as guilty as any 90's teen for buying into the whole Korn era numetal that I have grown to disdain. This includes LB, who were trendy as hell back then. I even bought Creed's first and second albums, but I blame that on the chick I was with at the time being into them.

Growing up and learning those songs (along with Nirvana's) really destroyed my hope of ever being a great guitar player. My tendencies to this day are still to do all my playing with bar E chords. Don't get me wrong, you can still do that effectively and write catchy songs and all, but I wish I'd have leaned more towards the technical side of metal back then as opposed to the numetal/rapmetal trends.

Thankfully I was never in to Nickelback. So, I can still point and laugh at people who were/are...

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
