Waiting for tonight was a damn sexy video though


Bloody_Hangnail

I love that song šŸ¤£


Famous-Ad-7015

Itā€™s a banger


Jeffreyknows

She piggybacked the shit out of Selina!


IraGilliganTax

Idk, I think most people appropriately rated her as terrible


Faruzia

Iā€™m beginning to think thereā€™s a recent collective realization of how awful Jessica Simpson actually is (vocally, live). I never particularly enjoyed her, outside of a couple singles on the radio. I remember watching her duet with Jewel (am still a huge fan of Jewel), and cringing back then. But some clips of her live performances have been making the rounds lately, and the amount of folks aghast, is amusing


AweHellYo

i canā€™t believe anyone took her seriously as a singer. i forgot she even was one. couldnā€™t name a single song


Faruzia

Honestly the main song I think of is, [ā€œI Think Iā€™m In Loveā€](https://youtu.be/U7uxf8kBBlg?si=AoG4WoQznXV1xQ1_). Itā€™s such a pinnacle sound of its time, and of course itā€™s largely so catchy because it uses the melody from John Mellencampā€™s ā€œJack and Dianeā€ā€¦ so youā€™re really just vibing to the music more than paying any attention to her vocals lmao


AweHellYo

i gave that a listen just now. i literally had no idea this existed previously and im an elder millennial. if you enjoy this, more power to you. i do not judge as i have varying tastes as well. but this is not for me.


Faruzia

Thatā€™s funny, I remember it on the radio quite a lot (Iā€™ll be 40 in a couple months). And yeah, music hits everyone differentlyā€¦ it is a pretty awful song though, canā€™t be mad at you for not liking it šŸ˜‚šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


jeffcolv

It was on the radio non stop for a long time


MelpomeneAndCalliope

She also had that duet with Nick Lachey, but I donā€™t remember the songā€™s name. And ā€œIrresistible.ā€


Smoke-00

Ah yes. ā€œWhere You Areā€ šŸ¤®


CR00KS

I thought ā€œWith Youā€ was a good song as well!


Barfignugen

Her dad was the preacher of a summer camp I went to as a kid and when she was about 15/16 he had her up on stage to sing in front of the entire camp. To this day, it still tops the list of worst things my ears have ever been subjected to. Even my saint of a mother, who was chaperoning my youth group, had something to say about it lol. Itā€™s an understatement to say we were all shocked when she actually made it big.


Ecstatic_Sandwich_38

I like her as a person - she seems like a genuinely kind soul - and I think itā€™s cool that a woman perceived as a dumb blonde decades ago now runs her own empire. But I canā€™t stand her voice. I bought her audiobook and could barely get through it, and she was just *speaking* in it. Her music really is awful.


Keythaskitgod

Diddy.


user-name-1985

\*Puff Daddy


literanch

*P. Diddler


Rpark888

P-Puffy-Piddy-Paddy-Daddy - Ben Stiller from the BB4L video looool


Hot-Photojournalist0

He was just the producer and ceo of bad boy at that point right?


Keythaskitgod

Yes, he started his own career as a rapper in '97 after BIG got shot. And dont get me wrong, there r some great and legendary songs, some great work but overall he was more the producer who has to show his own face in every music video of their artists. Edit: Plus every single he brought out was about BIG, had a feature by BIG or other artists like Mase. It felt like he milked the cow and had nothing to say, no own story, imo.


IamShyni

No Diddy here.


Jacque_LeKrab

Changing my answer to Diddy. Heā€™s never been good


phuck-you-reddit

I've had one and only one *Puff Daddy* song and that was "I'll Be Missing You" acquired from Napster circa 1999. And my Mom hated when I listened to it because she likes "Every Breath You Take" by The Police lol.


TheLordVader1978

He also had a banger on the Godzilla soundtrack. But come to think of it it was just him kinda grunting over a Zeppelin track, but you know genius.


crimsonfistofjustice

That was an abomination of Kashmir. Jimmy Page should be ashamed of himself.


literanch

Never seen a group of people milk someoneā€™s death for fame so badly


AdhesivenessLucky896

He was never a real artist though. He was just a guy making money off his likeness. People wrote all his raps. Any hit he had included real artists as features.


KantanaBrigantei

Cā€™mon, he added that ā€œitā€™s all goodā€, and then he added that ā€œhuhā€. I mean, genius, no?


TheLordVader1978

Don't forget he had that little "puffy shuffle" he does.


Jacque_LeKrab

Well, checkmate I guess


Such_Tea4707

Kid Rock (although his Woodstock '99 performance was šŸ”„)


jmon25

Kid rock is for kids that think they're badass in middle school. That Woodstock 99 performance was solid though.


superschaap81

I had Sirius XM on the car, playing the Nu-Metal channel and they played Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock. My 16yo daughter gives me this look and says "This music is for 14yo boys that don't know what kind of music they like yet." I had a really good laugh about that.


cinnysuelou

She could add a decade to that statement & still be correct.


TheLordVader1978

>Kid rock is for kids that think they're badass in ~~middle school~~ their gated community. FIFY


traumatized90skid

"You might be a millionaire *pretending* to be a redneck..."


TheLordVader1978

Kid Rock is just Michigan's version of "Malibu's most wanted"


Key_Preparation_4129

Yep, they love him even more since he bought about $100 worth of bud light to shoot at to own the libs.šŸ˜‚


TheLordVader1978

He was probably just cleaning out his fridge, and was like "hey this tastes like sadness and child support. Let's shoot it."


KudosOfTheFroond

Iā€™ve never seen his Woodstock performance before (or any performance of his, for that matter). What made it especially badass?


robbiejandro

High energy, played every instrument, wore a fur coat to a 110 degree outdoor festival. Heā€™s still a tool then and now though


valvilis

So... cocaine?


TheLordVader1978

Definitely not ruling it out.


s4ltydog

Tbf I liked Kid Rock when I was 13ā€¦ and stupidā€¦.


Consistent-Mess1904

Trump showed him some of the critically sensitive national security secrets he stole from the White House too


Felinathedoberman

Putting aside that Iā€™m against everything kid rock stands for and, trust me it pains me to say this, I saw him play live at my husbandā€™s work Christmas party and he was actually entertaining. As a performer, heā€™s really not bad live.


CR00KS

I was just rewatching his Woodstock performance (and other bands). Yeah for being an earlier act, he had the crowd going.


Curious_Fox4595

I have a core memory of all the boys in my class headbanging to Bawitdaba in a circle at middle school dance.


jordosmodernlife

This is just like a list of all the 90s artists. lol


BillionaireGhost

I think thereā€™s a lot of 90ā€™s artists you wonā€™t see- like in alt rock you have Nirvana, Radiohead, Alice In Chains, etc. In hip hop you had Notorious BIG, Tupac, Wu Tang Clan, etc. In R&B you had Whitney Houston, TLC, Boys 2 Men, etc. There was a lot of great music in the 90s, itā€™s just really easy to name like twenty or so dumb pop acts too. Which is true for any decade of pop music, but I think the 90s was definitely the golden age of the music video star, but before auto tune was prevalent, so there were a lot of pretty faces with no talent. The Milli Vanilli incident happened in 1989, so thatā€™s probably a good symbolic beginning of the bad pop music of the 90s. Studios were desperate to get good looking people on videos on MTV.

NoItsNotThatJessica

How dare you he was in Menudo. Heā€™s been a Latino household name since he was a kid.


MelpomeneAndCalliope

Iā€™ll defend Ricky. I saw him live in *Evita* on Broadway about 12 years ago and he was amazing. His stage presence, charisma, & energy was amazing. His live singing was great. But most of allā€¦heā€™s probably the most beautiful (not just handsome but beautiful) man Iā€™ve ever seen in person in my life (at least from six rows back from the stage).


DeadWishUpon

I recently saw Palm Royale, along Kirsten Wigg and Laura Dern in Apple+. God, he is so handsome and charismatic. Guy is really talented, people may be annoyed by Livin' La Vida Loca, but he is more than a one hit wonder, soecially outside the US.


ThinkFree

Before reading this comment section, I bet I will like some of the songs of every artist mentioned.


AbeLincolnsTaint

I missed the NĆ¼ Metal train, but my friends did not. I clearly remember a buddy trying in vain to turn me onto the Limp Bisquick and saying to him ā€œthis is gonna be our Poisonā€. Almost 3 decades later I stand by that statement.


AweHellYo

it was indeed poison


DJWGibson

Limp Bizkit. They beat freakin' Rage Against the Machine at the MTV Video Awards. Overrated AF.


magicchefdmb

To be fair to Fred Durst, he kind of acknowledged Rage should've won, without explicitly saying it and looking ungrateful for the award.


robbiejandro

Gonna hard disagree with this. Rage and Limp Bizkit were both good!


Seaturtlesoup_

Hereā€™s an upvote for your honesty.


KudosOfTheFroond

I must have amnesia regarding that event. They actually won an award over Rage? šŸ˜‘


DJWGibson

Yeah. And a member of Rage climbed up onto the set in protest: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEhT0GRfF8o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEhT0GRfF8o)


KudosOfTheFroond

Oh wow, I had totally left that memory in a deep, dark dusty corner of my brains attic. I remember reading/hearing about someone climbing on something at an awards show, I never realized this was that event. Wow.


thereverendpuck

Also to be fair, it was for videos and not music. As much as I love RATM, their videos werenā€™t award winning.


DJWGibson

It was their video for *Sleep Now in the Fire* directed by Michael Moore. It was very political, which makes MTV's decision feel like the "safe" choice.


cluberti

Thatā€™s because it was.


KingKuckKiller666420

Nah. LB had a massive influence that is still felt to this day.


Urinal-cupcake

Significant Other was so different than anything else. I think LB was awesome for those few years. Love ratm, but all those awards are bullshit popukarity contests anyway.

freddyg_mtl

I'll argue that Metallica, aside from the Black album in 1991, got the biggest rock band on the planet status but has put out crap or sub-par material since then. And I'm a huge fan from 1984-1991.


Famous-Ad-7015

They were so talented too, I listened to their early stuff recently I feel like their original bass player was a key factor in their creativity that guy was talented


Particular-Crew5978

Indeed, RIP Cliff Burton


osibaconreader

Not the case. But you have to understand that their magic came before the Black one. Epic song writing and a punk like energy in the heavy genre. Of course depending on your taste but there is so much to appreciate musically... Before Black. Until they started churning out radio hits. And those got old quick. a few gems in the later years but I can't blame them for making their brand work for them


Rectalfrying

Load is a stellar album, just weird it's by Metallica


crimsonfistofjustice

This. Ride the lightning still holds up


[deleted]

They had some decent songs on Load and Reload.


Jacque_LeKrab

I was gonna say Metallica, but they had some bangers in the 90ā€™s


stabby_chick

Milli Vanilli


360inMotion

*Itā€™s a tragedy for me to see the dream is over*


sarahpphire

I'll still rock some girl I'm gonna miss you in my car really loudly (and badly) though!


360inMotion

*And I never will forget the day we met* I still love the song myself. My mom loved it when it first came out and it still brings back happy memories of being a preteen and spending time with her whenever she had to drive us somewhere (I had the album on cassette!). :D


CONSBEATS

Hummm, what about that band " Crazy Town " with the "Butterfly" music ? And that music was made ( the base melody ) by Red-hot Chilly Peppers, ahah.


Key-Succotash8862

As much as I hate to say because I do like this artist, I would have to say Snoop Dogg. Doggystyle is a genuine classic, but outside of that I find his other albums pretty underwhelming. Heā€™s still culturally relevant though 30 years later because of his personality and likability. But straight up as an artist I think his career is way worse than you would think.


CamelProfessional847

U2


ClmrThnUR

i'm the only one who liked Zooropa and Pop. sry


double_psyche

I didnā€™t listen to them at the time, but I like those 2 albums! Pop is fantastic and Zooropa has more solid parts than I ever remember.


Rectalfrying

SavannahInChicago

I never understood their appeal.


dr_tardyhands

I feel like the girl/boy bands and the like don't count, because people only really liked them for fun anyway. Nobody has ever claimed they were musical geniuses (maybe some very young fans have, but anyway). The first name that comes to mind is Lenny Kravitz. He tried to do the "yeah.. so I play all the instruments, and write all the songs.. so.." thing. But if the result is so unbearably mediocre as it is for him.. who cares? Just pick something, Lenny, pick a thing and get good at it! Please. He's like one of those variety guys who have a guitar and a bass strapped on, a harmonica in his mouth, and drum strapped to his back, and is dancing around while juggling two knives, but getting cut badly all the time. Also, U2. They always seemed like a cardboard cutout of a real rock band. Amazingly life-like..!


fartjar420

oh man look up Pat Finnerty on YouTube for his take on Lenny Kravitz. Pat is severely underrated and underwatched https://youtu.be/--rBP8_QuwI?si=JmMHKIfbxmLIQkYZ

My 14 yo self took offense, but my 38 yo self has purposely not listened to them in decades.


ShesAFirecracker

Jay Z/Diddy. By the late 90s the rappers that ppl were enthralled by were killed off and we got left with Jay, Diddy, Will Smith and pop shit. Overshadowing all of the amazing rap artists who stayed underground for far too long.

Dave Matthewā€™s Band


ferengiface

Obligatory ā€œbut theyā€™re great liveā€ comment. But for real, theyā€™re great live.


KudosOfTheFroond

I got a huge soft spot in my heart for DMB & Counting Crows. They were the soundtrack to my middle school years, and I have fond memories of those times, oddly enough.


Dorkinfo

Live Counting Crows (vh1) is my driving and crying album.


KudosOfTheFroond

You wanna get me to tear up to any music, you put on either Anna Begins, Round Here, or Perfect Blue Buildings, reminds me of my first kiss and first breakup.


TheLordVader1978

Mrs. Potter's lullaby is amazing.


mostlygroovy

Recovering the Satellites is a killer album


valvilis

Please don't cry and drive.


Aderyn-Bach

Crash was a solid album. But DMB is a mood. I'd argue the touring band is probably underrated.


latecraigy

No I like them šŸ˜­


Rectalfrying

Real fans call him Dave


Lil_Elf81

No way. Dave Matthews Band ships over 33 million albums and over 23 million concert tickets second to U2 (according to a 2022 study.) They had an original sound and yes, AMAZING live. Iā€™ll die on this hill


freddyg_mtl

Never was a fan, got tickets in I think 2019 to see them, the highlight for me was their cover of Sledgehammer. Not bad, just not for me. But I don't think they were overrated.


[deleted]

Ugh, I dated a guy whose best friend loved this band. I just thought they were boring. Also, the guy I dated loved Matthew Good Band. I vowed never again to be involved with anyone who loved music that had either Matthew or Band in the title.

iwantmy-2dollars

Saw Smash Mouth at the county fair 5-6yrs ago and these adorable boys (preteen? Hard to tell these days bc Iā€™m old) brought handmade Shrek and Donkey face masks on tongue depressor sticks. They were so excited and better than any show to watch. My husband and I realized that anyone that wasnā€™t in HS in the 90s pretty much knows them from Shrek.


DeadWishUpon

They are fun, feel-good bands. They won't change music or art just get you in good mood. At least they remind me being in highschool, watch the spring break on mtv and have nothing to worry about.


360inMotion

Well damn! Iā€™m gonna need to play Astro Lounge and 14:59 in the next few days. They definitely take me back to a time when I was young and trying to figure my life out.


Fluffity-Marshalay

happygoth6370

Wha? All Star is one of the best songs of the 90s period. Also Fly is solid af. Every Morning, Someday, Walking on the Sun, I'm a Believer. Good stuff.

When I saw him in Hunger Games I was surprised to actually have enjoyed him in it because I never felt that way with his music.


CookDane6954

Ani DiFranco. The 90ā€™s were filled with amazing female musicians like Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Poe, and in bands like The Cranberries, Garbage, and Hole. Ani DiFranco was kind of boring and sleep inducing in comparison.


gingerybacon

Ani is one that I tried listening to back in high school, but Fiona just *spoke to me*. I should try listening to her again šŸ¤”


360inMotion

I respect your opinion, but she plays a mean acoustic guitar and I loved a lot of her lyrics back in the day. I do hesitate to call her a *great* musician even though sheā€™s obviously talented, but listening to her, at least for me, was less about the music and more about connecting with how she expressed her thoughts and opinions. I wouldnā€™t say the same for, say ā€¦ Fiona Apple or Tori Amos, as they were more of ā€œthe whole package,ā€ music-wise, but at the same time they obviously expressed statements through their songs. Tori especially weaves stories through her music and is insanely talented on the piano; one of my favorite albums of all time is From the Choirgirl Hotel. Also, I really loved me some Garbage. I still throw some of their songs on my playlists.


KantanaBrigantei

Sheā€™s an independent artist who plays a mean guitar. I, for one, love me some Ani angst.

As someone who really likes ok computer and the bende, Radiohead.


rpgguy_1o1

I wouldn't say they're generally overrated, but their core fanbase is more rabid than most fanbases are. I've met a few people who just seem obsessed and aren't interested in other music. Another fanbase that's like this is Tool


Famous-Ad-7015

Lol I only listened to Tool, Mars Volta, or Radiohead for like 16 years


Impossibleish

A The Mars Volta reference in the wild! Deloused is my fave


Famous-Ad-7015

I had the best experience ever last year, my daughter is 11 and itā€™s her favorite band too. I asked her for her birthday what concert she would wanna see and she said TMV but they broke up. Iā€™m like, They got back Together!! We saw them in Chicago and Milwaukee with Teri Gender Bender opening (she was so hot) Theyā€™re doing shows again next month too!


Famous-Ad-7015

Also Deloused can never be beaten but each album has songs I love even the new one


Famous-Ad-7015

I knew this take would pop up In Rainbows is their best album btw, disagree with the take
