    Rock's Dumbest Musicians

    I am surprised this topic hasn't surfaced before. Leave it to me to run multiple searches for a previous occurence *sigh* Here is the place to name who you think some of the dumber musicians have been from the beginnings to today. I'm expecting we will mostly get rock but I've got a feeling...

    Examples of Revisionist History in Rock

    I'm not sure what I am going to get here for replies, but I'll try to explain what I am looking for. One definition of the term revisionist history that you will find on the web (via Wikipedia) is as follows: "the illegitimate distortion of the historical record such that certain events...

    Woe Is Me: Dangerous Toys vs Motley Crue

    In the 1980's, the hair band genre was riding high. The bands and their members were full of confidence, cockiness and good times. In the 1990's, times were a little more lean. Disillusioned, disappointed and hurt, some of these artists took their frustrations into song. Here at the top...

    Notable Rock and Roll Feuds #2: Within the band

    This thread is up to highlight the most notable or memorable rock and roll feuds that have occured within the band. Obviously the longer a band has had members fighting back and forth (such as Kiss or Van Halen), the better. However, newer groups are also acceptable. I posted a similar...

    What Do You Consider To Be An Original Lineup?

    Fair question. What do you consider to be the "original" lineup of a band? I raise this question because sometimes it can be murky depending on which group is in question. For a lot of people who don't study bands in-depth, they simply refer to the lineup on a band's first recording, which is...

    The thread title says it all. What is the worst song (or songs) by some of your favorite artists? You can include popular songs of theirs that you hated. Say Love In An Elevator by Aerosmith, for example. Then again, there are always the ill-advised singles that made it onto radio/video...

    Bands or musicians who strayed far from their roots

    This is a category that may generate a little debate. Theoretically, your answers could include artists who simply liked to experiment, whether it was The Beatles or U2. However, I would also be thinking of artists who changed their sound to keep up with the times, become more commercial or...

    Hidden or mystery album tracks

    Bands Who Rerecorded Or Covered Their Own Songs

    The subject line says it all. I was surprised to not see this thread, or if it is on the forums, it wasn't under the expected key words when I searched. Several artists have rerecorded their own songs for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it is meant to improve the song(s). On other occasions...
