Actually, these were samples from a Something Awful thread from a couple years back, and the bands were submitted to him exactly to get thrashed.
Honestly, when I read the Hip one, I was indignant for a second.
Then I thought about the Poets video... :oops:

lol, its kind of hard to get offended by it anyway, who cares what a person wears, obviously it has nothing to do with the music.

Apparently, he's never heard of REM... :roll:
That's exactly what I thought.
And really, the Hip got off pretty easy since it's much harder to attack substance.
Yeah Stephen, you nailed it... if what he said about the Hip is the worst he could do, then that tells you something. Really, I was bracing for much worse, but after I read his comments on the Hip, I was like, meh.
All in all, it was an amusing little diversion, nothing more.
Smashing Pumpkins:
The Smashing Pumpkins got popular by ripping off My Bloody Valentine, and then made a hideous, sprawling, boring double-disc set where they ripped off pretty much everyone else who they hadn't already ripped off. And, Christ, how the hell did Billy Corgan decide that he should be a rock star? He looked in the mirror and said "Hey! I look like a cross between Nosferatu and a penis, and I sing like Rod Stewart with a severe case of mumps doing a Peter Lorre impression! I've got what it takes!" As for the other members of the band (not that they actually play on the albums), what a bunch of ugly drugged-up losers. And that fucking James Iha dude, remember his solo album? He released some kind of earnest lo-fi bullshit in the vein of Graham Coxon, except that even less people bought it than buy Graham Coxon albums, amazingly.
LOL! that's too funny, and i'm a huge pumpkins fan, that's got to be the best one on there, hahaha.
oh, and i happen to be one of the people who bought that James Iha album, i don't listen to it very much at all, BUT, Country Girl is a gorgeous song and makes the album a must have for any pumpkins fan IMO.
