Since I am not part of the LGBTQ community and further more since I am a whit male, in general my opinion comes from a level of privilege, but some of the best comedy, to me at least pushes the envelope of being offensive in nature. Like my previous statement implies, this may be because little if anything actually offends me. With that being said, I try to look for the intent behind the words. I could write more, but I feel like I may put my foot in my mouth if I do. 

I think the intent behind the trans stuff was hateful and regressive though. I also had a problem with all the weird rape jokes.

I enjoyed the standup well enough until the Bill Cosby/trans stuff took over. Though I also think the jokes were really lazy in general compared to his older standup.

Paul Baribeau sucks

we should turn this thread into bands we can all agree are terrible.

Okay, now what?

finally, the day is almost here where the forum is just me, alone with my thoughts.

Good luck, sucker.

Wait, did anybody shoot down Beck?



What about The Rolling Stones?

There are very few bands I dislike more than The Cure.

One of those bands is The Smiths.

More nominations...

My god, the answer was Bone Thugs all along!

Wu Tang?


It's probably Limp Bizkit.

Sorry, I regret to inform you Jawbreaker doesn't win.

I've been trying very hard not to make this post.

I've posted it a few times but this is one of my favorite songs.

Also, you can stream the album via NPR.

http://www.npr.org/2017/02/02/512636457/first-listen-jesca-hoop-memories-are-now

As the resident... person who has been following her career forever, I feel compelled to mention Jesca Hoop released a new album today and it is fantastic.

This is a live version of one of the songs on the album.

I also used this song, because Big Star is the best band.

Cannot stand Saves the Day.


I'm offended you guys ignored The Kinks.

I'm in the same page when it comes to Saves the Day; not a fan. I haven't listened to much of the Kinks but will check them out. I just know two songs off the top of my head.

I made a mix a few years ago based on this song when it was unbearably hot and gloomy a few summers ago. The Kinks rule.

Do not like: Bad Religion, Operation Ivy, The Mountain Goats

I know that you don't currently like Bad Religion but was there a time that you liked them? What about Operation Ivy? I mean, you can recognize something as being great without being into it.

Nah, I've never been a fan of either, especially Bad Religion. I don't remember Operation Ivy enough to give an opinion now, just remember not liking them back in the day.

I mean, if I were picking a favorite punk band, I'd go with The Gun Club, so take that how you wish.

Love the Descendents too but people already spoke up against them.



I also submit: The Kinks

Also, Big Star, though I suspect a lot of dang fools just don't listen to Big Star.
