Second, there's the fact that he sold out his whole band by claiming he really only wanted to go country in a song that sounded exactly like a Staind song, only with a different producer who'd heard some country
to be fair, this happened late in his career

by which I mean after everyone already decided Staind were the worst band ever
again, not defending Staind who are horrible, but there were so many bands I would call the worst band of their era before Staind (Creed, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down) - I think I'd even rather listen to "Outside" or "It's Been Awhile" than that unreleased Nirvana song they remastered to sound like Puddle of Mudd

I'll take Creed over Staind for sure, but Staind over Nickelback & 3 Doors Down

Yeah, I'm feeling you curtis. I like this better than any rock I've heard on the radio and I fucking HATED this when it was out. To me, this song is a watershed moment in blunt-edged commercial hard-rock. It's the source.

I'd take riding a rollercoaster without a lap bar over Nickleback

God, and my girlfriend at the time liked this too. She didn't understand why I would get so upset about it.

Staind to me were terrible because of just how droney their shit was. it was almost offensive in its blandness.
― Neanderthal, Thursday, 21 July 2011 22:43 (twelve years ago) link
N needs ti embrace the droney.
There is actually one (and only one) 3 Doors Down song I will ride for: "Not My Time"

― Neanderthal, Friday, 22 July 2011 02:53 (twelve years ago) link
the half-assed strummed guitar and sub-grunge songwriting is definitely the worst thing about Staind
― absolutely better display name (crüt), Friday, 22 July 2011 03:06 (twelve years ago) link
besides all that other stuff
I understand where you're coming from, but Creed singlehandedly topped everyone in terms of horribleness with "With Arms Wide Open" (arguably their biggest song) and I can never think of Creed without thinking of that
― absolutely better display name (crüt), Friday, 22 July 2011 03:10 (twelve years ago) link

But within the clip "Biloxi!" really shines. It's a hard vote, but "Biloxi" it is.

basically the only reason Staind isn't dead last is i can't even name a Breaking Benjamin song much less one i like but i know i've heard them a billion times
― drowning cool (some dude), Friday, 22 July 2011 03:22 (twelve years ago) link
amazingly perfect post-grunge origin story:
Before Breaking Benjamin was formed, Burnley had earned money by playing cover songs in various coffee houses as a solo artist under his own name "Benjamin." He later came up with the band's name, "Breaking Benjamin," after doing a performance of a Nirvana cover, Ben knocked over (to imitate his lifelong idol Kurt Cobain) and cracked a microphone he had borrowed. The owner of the microphone walked onto the stage and said, "I'd like to thank Benjamin for breaking my fucking microphone."[2]

Burnley is victim to several phobias and has even said that the name of their 2006 album, Phobia, was named after that simple fact.

where does chevelle fit into that list of bands
Chevelle is #1 in the post-Tool/post-Deftones sweepstakes
― drowning cool (some dude), Friday, 22 July 2011 03:26 (twelve years ago) link
i wanted to give sd shit for putting nickelback first in that list but then i realized i couldn't honestly think clearly enough about these bands to even rank them so what can you do
― apichathong song (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Friday, 22 July 2011 03:26 (twelve years ago) link
i would prob rank them up at or near the top, though -- my wife has some of their albums and they've got some jams
xpost re: chevelle
― drowning cool (some dude), Friday, 22 July 2011 03:27 (twelve years ago) link
i would easily take staind over nickelback if only for 'outside' and that one big song i cant remember the name of, lol
― Gatsby was a success, in the end, wasn't he? (D-40), Friday, 22 July 2011 03:27 (twelve years ago) link
yeah that's the thing about nickelback -- love em or hate em they're at the top of their heap because it really is a heap
it's been a while
― markers, Friday, 22 July 2011 03:27 (twelve years ago) link
yeah this might be the only modern subgenre (if you can even call it that) that i feel not even a teeny bit compelled to be fair about

like when this stuff was seemingly the only game in town it might have just looked like i was hating on all new radio rock in a lol old man kinda way but there have been enough mainstream rock bands i've liked since to just declare this strain shit and be done with it
