Thus. Frankly it's all worth it for this picture of Hoobastank:

relying on metacritic for your worst of the year - Dud or FUCKING LAZY?

not necessarily

cue the lex with popist outrage

Lazy and retarded. It's like having a Worst Movie list based off IMDB ratings.

also, it seems they also read rolling stone... but nothing else

Wrote AllMusic.com in its review, "Paul Oakenfold's 2006 effort could be a contender for dance album of the year, if the year were 1997."

what does that mean? that dance music is only good right when it comes out? what shit

― friday on the porch (lfam), Sunday, 24 December 2006 07:06 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe not that exactly, but something equally stupid

also i had no idea that paul oakenfold looked like that. he looks like a neanderthal. i always figured he was popular for looks but now i am really baffled.

fish in a barrel, this list.

Ann Powers: "Fergie exudes earthy charm."

At least three of them are: "Haha, old celebrities are OLD!"

And the Hoobastank blurb is basically knocking them for doing exactly what they aim to do and doing it well (making money off of teenagers).

Fergie excretes earthy pee

Someone who urinated all over herself during a performance does seem be in touch with a sort of late-60s hippie aesthetic, which was of course pretty earthy. Good observation.

If making money off of teenage angst/ignorance is wrong then pop stars and the business behind them don't wanna be right.

and beaten on the urine thing.

I mean honestly the idea of Hoobastank aspiring to anything more is a little dubious anyway.

If the "Popo Zao" beat went to Spank Rock instead of K-Fed, everyone would be lining up to kiss its ass.

Well, I didn't know Live was still, uh, alive!

― editio princeps (pato.g27), Sunday, 24 December 2006 08:05 (seventeen years ago) link

I also didn't know about that new Dave Navarro band!

Attacking "sacred cows" can get tiresome, but it still beats kicking the down.

― Hurting (A-Ron Hubbard), Sunday, 24 December 2006 08:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Rate Your Music's worst 10 is similar (K-Fed, Fergie, Paris, LL, Chingy) but adds AIDS Wolf, DJ Shadow, The Streets, Mobb Deep & the Vines.

Based on the number of Hoobastank CDs still left at Tower when I was there three days before it closed, they are a contender for Philadelphia's official least favorite band.
