ITT: Musicians whose commercial success defies all logic
you might say "But they're not that successful" but even their cultish fanbase doesn't really make sense
>>65815008
Jimmy Buffett is good though. He doesn't have tons of hits or anything, it's as simple as having great songs and lots of old people liking to get drunk and go to your concerts
His success is legitimate af
>>65815118
But he's a hack
>>65815136
Not really. Hack implies he's trying to be something he's not. He knows exactly what he's doing, who he's playing for.
Just because you're not into his style (which is fine, I don't like it much either), doesn't invalidate him.
His success doesn't defy any logic whatsoever, especially if you understand 70s rock music and the mentality of a 40 something in the 21st century.
>>65815118
He has one hit song. And out of that he has a line of hotels and restaurants, three best-selling books, and a legion of annoying fans who follow him around like he's The Grateful Dead. All I want to know is why him?
>>65815136
Jimmy Buffett is far from a hack, he's a really good songwriter. His songs are simple and instantly grab you. I would call people like Radiohead a hack before I called Jimmy Buffett a hack. The fact that he still makes millions of dollars a year playing shows without radio play/mtv attention/magazine covers is indicative of someone who is not a 'hack'
compared to some FOTM fake internet hype shit that most of /mu/ consider 'patrician', acts with no memorable songs that rely on gimmicks or production to sound interesting
>>65815291
This is really not that hard to understand if you actually listen to his music.
His schtick is so carefully catered to his fanbase, it is neither surprising he is a success nor his fans are so loyal.
He is the epitome of middle aged parents who take a cruise to the Bahamas, drink a shit ton of cocktails and passing out at nine o'clock, and spend the rest of their cruise sitting in their rooms watching television, perfectly content.
>>65815291
His music is chill even if you have no friends like me. Nothing but good vibes, not hard to see why he's popular.
>>65815100
I can't figure out who their fanbase is tho
I've never met anyone who unironically liked them
Tom Waits
Ed Shereen

What's not to get? It's faux-indie pop for boring white girls.

Back in the '90s/early '00s they still managed to sell millions of records.

Michael Jackson. I honestly struggle to understand how Thriller is the best selling abum of all time.
>>65815993
It's inoffensive faux-emotional soft rock. How does that defy logic?
not wildly successful but still loved by tons and tons of people
>>65815008
How much of a fucking contrarian do you need to be to dislike Jimmy Buffett? What's not to like? He's a genuinely nice guy who loves writing and playing music and a lot of his songs are legitimately great.

Maybe you should actually listen to the two albums they put out before they went full-commercial. They're worth your time.
>>65821398
>heck
it's past your bedtime
I know they're an easy target, but it still baffles me that of all the music in the world, there are people that choose to listen to this.
>>65815008
Not logic defying. If you listen to pop country, you'll notice that every song seems like it was either written by Jimmy Buffett or a frat guy that really like Jimmy Buffett. This is music for people who don't listen to music, who just want basic melodies with lyrics that paint a pleasant picture.

great taste, friend
Volcano is best album
Kanye, it seems he literally just tells people he's a music genius and they fucking believe him...
This was a number one album in a few countries.
>>65815608
this, apparently the most successful solo career out of all the beatles. How is this?

Anyone ever been to the jimmy buffett restaraunt in new orleans?
great place! terrific cat fish platters
>>65815608
>>65822420
Because he was the safe one.
Paul and George were weird vegan Hindus, and John is pretty self-explanatory. After the flower power zeitgeist of the 60s waned, Ringo was the most digestible for the mainstream ear.
>>65822537
Their britpop stuff was really catchy and helped capture the mood of the time in england
>>65821423
This is a meme i will never fall for again.
Turns out bands that get picked up by a major label and made huge werent fucking good before hand, they probably just sound a lot like the kind of band that you would hear on the radio, but with shit-tier production quality.
>>65822360
yeah, I like this one but I really have no idea what the cultural climate must have been like for this to get as big as it did.
as a side note, have you heard his recent stuff? it's fucking trash.

There's no experience more unpleasant than a JB show. Imagine a sea of fat 60 year olds with foam parrot hats, Hawaiian shirts, and a cheap mixed drink in their hand. It's less about the music and more of a lifestyle thing for them.

>>65817818
They're just genuinely fun and creative.
No bullshit.
People like that.
>>65823084
You forgot the most horrible part of all which is Dennis DeYoung's voice. Any time I've tried listening to one of his songs (and believe me, I tried) my ears want to detach themselves from my skull and catch a plane ride to the next continent.
>>65823068
I guess he's ok with JB because the guy is just a beach bum who likes to have a good time instead of preach to you like James Taylor, Carly Simon, and those other faggots.

Strange, I didn't know /mu/ is full of 50 year olds who own a timeshare.
I like em and all but how the fuck does a band like The B-52s manage to get actual mainstream popularity
>>65823247
You Need Love, Mademoiselle, Fooling Yourself, Mr. Roboto. It doesn't matter. Any song he sings lead vocals is akin to a monkey being thrown into a grain thresher.
>>65823318
By singing a song called "love-shack" and making a video of said song.
>>65815435
I'm your friend anon :^)
>>65823352
literally everybody on earth knows fucking rock lobster. that it not a song that normal people should enjoy. love shack makes sense, but theyve had honest to god hits before that
>>65823084
these are all very vague generalities. Anything specific? Are you talking about their 70s or 80s stuff? What about the instrumentation is retarded? Which lyrics are you referring to? What do egos have to do with the music?
>>65823124
I actually really love DeYoung's voice. He can delve a little too far into cheese but he's got a great range and a lot of power in his singing.
>>65822994
Have you ever seen Buffett live? I have, and the crowd is a lot younger than you think
>>65823347
In my opinion "lady" was their best song which coincidentally was their first charted hit.
You will probably hate it but here it is.

>>65823420
>Have you ever seen Buffett live? I have, and the crowd is a lot younger than you think
Rolling Stones crowds aren't as old as you think either. I guess all the boomers who ever wanted to see them already did so years ago.
>>65815008
Jimmy Buffett is an underrated songwriter, none of you have ever heard any of his albums
Geddy Lee's voice was also pretty horrible back in the day; thankfully he's dropped a few octaves since then.
>>65815525

I live on Long Island and his summer concerts here are more of an excuse for the kids to go tailgate/get trashed at the beach. The concert is an afterthought
>>65823420
Styx was the first live concert I ever saw, It was the "Equinox" Tour. It was a very good show by the way.
>>65822624
their first album is my fucking jam you faggot
>>65823496
I think the average age of Stones audiences was at its highest in the 90s-early 2000s and it's gotten gradually younger since then.
Even Jerry Lee Lewis has fairly young people at his shows. There's a few grandpas here and there but most of them are under 50.
>>65823761
>>65823496
Rolling Stones concerts were only full of geriatrics in Anglo countries. when they'd tour in Latin America it's all crazy kids and just like their shows were in the 70s.
>Jimmy Buffett (born in Mississippi, but raised in Alabama) has concocted a hybrid of singer-songwriter, comedian, romantic individualist, eccentric and drunkard. He has dedicated his career to the sea.
>After moving to Florida, Buffett founds his mission in life. His first masterpiece was A White Sport Coat & A Pink Crustacean (Dunhill, 1973), that contains colloquial vignettes such as Great Fillin' Station Holdup and They Don't Dance Like Carmen No More, and Death Of An Unpopular Poet, the first of a long gallery of nostalgic and ironic characters that express his humane but detached view of life and the world: Lord Buckley's God's Own Drunk on Living & Dying in 3/4 Time (Dunhill, 1974), that also contains the catchy Come Monday, Pirate Looks At Forty and Life Is Just A Tire Swing on A1A (Dunhill, 1974); Livingston Saturday Night on Rancho Deluxe (United Artists, 1975) Havana Daydreaming on Havana Daydreamin' (ABC, 1976), which also contains the bizarre My Head Hurts My Feet Stink; and the most famous of them all, the ode to laziness and relaxation Margaritaville, on Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes (ABC, 1977), which also contains Changes In Attitudes. His style slowly mutated into a quirky Carabbean honky-tonk (i.e., colored with elements of reggae, salsa and calypso).
>Cheeseburger in Paradise, Cowboy In The Jungle, African Friend and Son Of A Son Of A Sailor make Son Of a Son Of a Sailor (ABC, 1978) one of his best.
get fucked op
>>65823600
>Styx was the first live concert I ever saw
my nigga.
They were the first band I really latched onto and I ended up seeing them at a county fair in 2001 and was blown away despite the shitty atmosphere and the fact that it was really only half the original band.
>>65823420
>I actually really love DeYoung's voice. He can delve a little too far into cheese but he's got a great range and a lot of power in his singing
Sup, Dennis DeYoung's nephew.
>>65823852
Frankly. I can't speak for every one of my generation (I'm 55) but we'd rather remember the Stones as how they were instead of how they sound and perform now,
>>65817818
C&C and The Mollusk are weird but they have great music.

Paul McCartney as a solo artist is one of the best selling musicians of all time, no fucking way is Starr a bigger star than him.
>>65823992
Oh, hello Dave Mustaine. Shouldn't you be shitposting in /metal/ now?
>>65823932
Well..it was 1976. I saw them again during the "Pieces of Eight" tour. a few years later
>>65823992
That's ok because the 1981 tour was the last time the Stones were even remotely interesting live.
>>65824061
Why would you consider that a shitpost? I said I wasn't speaking for every one of the boomers.
>>65824120
People born in 1961 are early Gen Xers rather than boomers, but that's neither here nor there.
>>65824147
My wife is 65. Her and I are of the same mindset regarding the Stones. we could go see them in October here in Vegas but as I said. We prefer to remember them from their prime instead of the their current state.
>>65824061
He could be Henry Rollins as well (since he was born in 61).
>>65824083
>Pieces of Eight tour
shit, I'm jealous. That and Grand Illusion have always represented their peak to me. They even redid those albums live recently with their current lineup knowing full well that's where the bulk of their best material lies. I'm still holding out hope that they'll get back together with DeYoung for another tour at least even though I know it's highly unlikely. The way they are now, they're constantly touring but producing no new material. It's depressing.

>>65824255
Why do you asslicks assume if I'm old, I must be someone famous.

It was a great show. If your jealous of Styx i won't mention all the other great bands i saw in their musical prime in the past 40 years.
Frigg off Lahey!
>>65824437
haha wow that's pretty spot on

>>65824399
if you say Jethro Tull or Van der Graaf Generator I will be legitimately upset
>>65824395
Come on, I've seen this same troll on here before who claims to have been born in 61.
>>65824376
they'd be great again if they'd get over themselves and let the guy with all the songwriting talent back in
>>65824526
Hopefully his voice has fallen a few octaves by now.
>>65824571
nope
>>65815480
My brother used to be into them. Now he's into mellow stoner shit like Grateful Dead and Sublime.
Falsetto is ok some of the time. Barry Gibb was fine, Rob Halford was fine, but they had an actual, how do we say this, sense of melody. Dennis DeYoung and Geddy Lee...do not. They sound like strangled chimpanzees.

Cheap Trick and Fleetwood Mac would be rad but I'm not into the rest. Still cool you got to see all that. I'm not a "wrong generation" type but it's a little depressing to think of all the great tours I wasn't around for.
>>65824757
I'm 55 years old. I'm not changing the music I like based on meme bands that the under 25's have decided to like in order to feel unique.Every one of those live shows I saw were when the bands were headlining and had top 10 hits.. And I'm sorry but the ZOOTV tour and Achtune Baby were pretty fantastic.and anyone that experienced that tour live will agree.
>>65824865
>Cheap Trick and Fleetwood Mac would be rad
Fleetwood Mac might have been ok in 1970. The Rumours version of the band was fucking elevator music.
>>65824840
when your 45. 55 is not far fetched. and I hardly had mommy issues.
>>65824885

It's too bad 90% of people don't know about Fleetwood Mac when they were actually awesome rather than the shitty momrock version of the band.
>>65824981
only because you are looking at from a historical perspective. As I said. All those bands were current and dare I say it on a board that loathes mainstream music....popular with heavy radio play of many of the songs from the albums the tour was promoting.
Nothing about Jimmy Buffet defies logic. His music is so completely inoffensive and bland, yet pretty enjoyable. We play it on the radio at work all the time.
>>65825064
Now RHCP...that defies logic.
>>65824914
Sit down on the couch.
It did, anyways.
>>65824981
At least those bands were good at one time. U2 sucked in 1981, they sucked in 1985, they sucked in 1991, they sucked in 1995, they sucked in 2000, and they suck now.

Well, Judas Priest's cover of that song was better...
>>65825088
it's funky and fun alt rock that middle-aged stoners can get stoned and chill and pretend to dance to and 20 something year olds can pretend they've loved their whole lives since they grew up with them and "new music is shit"

That's not a fan, you moron. That's bandwagoning a disgustingly overplayed MOR album that you can hear on your local classic hits station 25x every day.

Maroon 5
>>65825167
your opinion is not shared by a very large number of people. And regardless what you say now. Had /mu/ existed when Actune Baby was released it would have been all praises for that album and the total reinvention and experimental path for the band. It had very strong rotation and was played on Top 40, Rock, and Alternative radio stations as well as having all the videos being played on MTV.
>>65825310
That's one of those albums that along with Hotel California, Joshua Tree, and American Idiot you only listen to for irony's sake. Also the CDs make great drink coasters. ;)
>>65825297
idk, ask 20 something year olds who like RHCP
>>65825343
>your opinion is not shared by a very large number of people

i can't tell since we're all anonymous ya dingus. i don't even know who you are
>>65825414
yeah. still have the original vinyl I bought in 1976.
same with Rumors. And Endless Summer.
>>65825431
Hotel California is ok if you only listen to track 3 and ignore the rest. Also American Idiot would be ok if it weren't horrendously overplayed. I'd rather commit seppuku than hear When September Ends again.
>>65825414
>>65825456
I'm pretty sure that was remastered and put on CD at some point.
Also way to samefag.

bad. again. not a widely held opinion outside of /mu/ and the whole U2 is bad meme based on 1 song "Vertigo" and Southpark..ohh..and they put an album on my apple meme. pretty sure U2 don't nor did control Apples I-Tunes servers. Think that was probably Tim Cook's fault if the album appeared on your phone.
>>65825509
I didn't even samefag, you stupid piece of human shit.
>>65825557
u2 has always been lame. even when they were post punk they were lame. Bono was a hack who just tried to get big after the death of Ian Curtis.
>>65825569

>>65825377
>>65825343
>>65825167
U2 is a solid band. Their output in the late 80's and early 90's is pretty damn good even if they descended into the mushiest of pop rock post 2000. South Park made hating U2 a meme; I remember when the Bono shit episode came out and suddenly everyone was making fun of the band even though they had been well respected up to that point.
>>65825584
U2 got big for the sole reason that they took themselves seriously and didn't wear clown costumes while playing shredder guitar. In the 80s, that was almost refreshing.
>>65825509
I never disputed the album was digitally remastered and put on CD. Why was this even mentioned. True. CD's did not exist in the 70's and the best format for music was vinyl followed by reel to reel, then cassette then 8-Track. in terms of musical media quality.
>>65825590

The Joshua Tree [Island, 1987]
Let it build and ebb and wash and thunder in the background and you'll hear something special--mournful and passionate, stately and involved. Read the lyrics and you won't wince. Tune in Bono's vocals and you'll encounter one of the worst cases of significance ever to afflict a deserving candidate for superstardom. B
You know what? I've had enough of you shit eating piece of shit little shit children. Screw you guys, I'm going to bed.
In conclusion, fuck you all.

You're not really 55, are you?
Is there a worse band than U2 in existence?
>>65825037
It wasn't though.
>>65825980
Maroon 5
>>65825998
I gotta say, Adam Levine gives 1970s Geddy Lee a run for his money for sheer ear abuse.
>>65825980
just curious what albums in U2's discography you have listened to. Please be honest.
>>65822618
GOTCHU IN A STRANGLEHOLD BABY OOOHHOHOHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO
WEEEEEEEEEE
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
ARRARARARRARRRARRAAAAAA
>>65825980
I hate to say it but I have to agreed with this anon
>>65825998
1st album's pretty solid
>>65821398
Do you mean their music or how they look in that picture?
>>65815299
Haha I'm sorry but the guy who wrote Margaritaville is not better than Radiohead. Like I fucking hate Radio head, but at least the amount Radiohead's sold out from all its members combined doesn't even begin to touch Jimmy Buffet.
>>65823671
This a hundred times.
Aha Shake ain't bad either.
>>65815008
larry david is great fuck you
>>65815008
>They fucking Suck.
>>65822360
a fucking movie..
>>65815100
Some of the craziest people I've met were jugallos. They are a hard, brazen group of people. Stay on their good side if you know any.
>>65817818
Many colors of the fucking homo rainbow? That is a fun song. I love ween for their oddness and campy tunes. Primus is another odd group I fucking dig. This poster summarizes the point of love for Ween.
>>65823088
I'm going to listen to Ween now.
>>65827437
Primus sucks. They're my favourite band. God damn Jellikit.
>>65827581
mah nigga.
>>65827659
Have you seen them live? I've only seen them twice thus far.
First time was at the Fox theater in Pomona. They played their favourite tunes, but also played Dirty Drowning Man "for the first time" as Les stated, and Wynona's Big Brown Beaver as a closer. The whole show was in stereoscopic 3D too, so all sorts of crazy videos were played on a fantastically large projected screen. Me and my best buddy started the circle pit for Wynona's Big Brown Beaver, and beavers flew at us in 3D. One of the greatest times in my life. I fucking love Primus. Those Damned Blue Collar Tweekers is the greatest fucking opener track for their shows, and being able to play it is the greatest feeling ever.
>>65827733
hahaha oh yeah, I saw them in Atlanta for that 3D tour, that was with Jay Lane drumming and it was promoting Green Naugahyde. I've seen them6 times and claypool's sides 4. Love 'em man. , Les was the whole reason I picked up bass. Been a fan since I was 6 and damn proud of it.
>>65824989
It still chuckle when people here fall for the meme that 4chan is primarily filled with kids under 25.
>>65825414
found the aspie
>>65825161
Didn't defy shit.
Nevermind was made for radio
>>65827851
That 3D tour was great, Jay Lane nailed those shows. Green Naugahyde is a fucking awesome album too and Lee Van Cleef is one of my favourites from that album. Primus w/ The Fungi Ensemble was awesome too, The Chocolate Factory live was phenomenal.
Les too was the reason I picked up bass, and while I don't have expertise, I love to play around with it.
Anyways, I bought Green Naugahyde when I was on vacation in Bullhead Arizona years ago after it had first come out. The package came with two CDs, both of which were identical in serial number and content. I believe I purchased I a fluke unit, and I love it.
By the way, who the hell's Bob Cock and where's that yellow sock?
>>65828001
Shit, forgot the "proof". Didn't eliminate EXIF data, so have fun.
>>65825917
I am not that guy, but I am in the area of 55. I love watching hipsters like you degenerate into shells of what you thought you were. Of course, this is over the span of a few years. It's almost a meme too. . . that's how sure I am that it will happen to most of you. Enjoy your bulletproof worldview while you can, because when it starts to crack your well being might go with it. Now tell me about how sure that so-and-so sucks because of some-sort-of bullshit detail you conjured up. Oh yeah, it looks like your mustache wax stained you fancy shirt.. . lil bitch
>>65827319
The music. I know exactly what's wrong with how they looked.
>>65823583
have you seen rush live recently? his voice doesn't suit the older material at all anymore.
>>65815993
one of my favorite bands of all time. These guys are easily the top ten most underrated bands I have come across. Songs like Trani, Milk, Day Old Blues, Pyro, Molly's Chamber, The Bucket. I have actually never met anyone who deosn'y like Kings of Leon but likes music from the same genre. If you don't like KOL, then you don't like that genre at all. sorry, I just love them too much. The band that inspired me to buy my first bass<3
>>65815210
parrot heads are all like 65 years old not 40
>>65815608
this noodly french faggot has sold a retarded amount of albums (I htink he's in the top ten of all time) and has the record for largest concert in history

i like the irony in this one in that it criticizes the same type of people who make up most of his fanbase as i see it
Coconut Pete is superior
>>65825149
Ok, Whatever you say mommy...
>>65815118
>>65822805
But we can all agree that he made one of the greatest video game trailer themes ever, even if the game was shit.

>>65830738
Literally just a ripoff of King Crimson's Epitaph.
>>65815056
But Iggy is a great artist who has never had much commercial success.
>>65824757
>Already well past their prime by this point.
Love You came out in 1977 and it's one of the best albums of their entire career, you pleb.
>>65824687
>Cheap Trick
That must've been incredible. Which year did you see them?
>The Beach Boys - 1978
Did Brian play with them?
>Fleetwood Mac - Rumors Tour
I'm not a huge fan but they've made some nice pop songs.
>Van Halen - 5150 tour
I'm not a fan but I'm sure they put on a fun show.
>Aerosmith - Permanent Vacation Tour
By then Aerosmith had become total shit. They were decent in the 70s and awful in the 80s.
>U2 - 5 times starting with the ZOOTV tour
I wouldn't see them live nowadays but I would've seen them on the ZOOTV tour. They used to be good.
Everything else you listed is laughably awful.
>>65815008
I got really drunk and high at a buffet concert, legitimately had a good time
>>65828316
And thank God and all things holy that he can't do that helium voice anymore.
I could almost tolerate Rumours if the singles weren't so sickeningly overplayed.
>>65824221
I don't think anyone's disputing the lameness of recent Stones shows.
>>65822618
One album wonder.
>>65815100
Everything they sell is through their own label, every shirt they print is through their own factory made in the USA. They were able to take suburban disassociation to its most extreme and tap into that, all while staying DIY.
>>65829241
i feel bad for you
>>65824759
>>how has nobody said Mumford and Sons yet? it's literally watered down indie folk-rock to appeal to college kids who like to pretend to be deep and sensitive
youve answered your own question
>>65824759
So just like Jewel circa 1996?
Blur
>>65831972
All RS shows since the reunion in 1988 have sucked. They stopped being a band and just became an entertainment corporation.
>all the same stale 10 songs at every show
>volume level on their sound equips turned way down
>guitars way back in the mix
>focus is mainly on Mick Jagger's dancing
>>65815480
I'm from Detroit. Ground zero for the clowns. Trust me, juggalos exist and they're terrible.
"You're damn right my anus is nice and slim 'cause it ain't ever been penetrated before like theirs."
>>65822624
KoL had three amazing albums and they're nothing like the stuff they got famous for. They used to sound like the Strokes but with a southern accent. Just go YouTube the song Four Kicks and tell me that sounds just like Sex on Fire.
>>65832364
I've never seen a single ICP fan forum or Youtube comment thing on a video of them that doesn't devolve into Eminem bashing.
How insecure can you retards possibly be?
>>65815008
Jimmy buffet is great
>>65822270
I would agree if it weren't for Yeezus. That album is batshit crazy and might be genius.
>>65832494
Easy. Airheaded women.
James Blunt
I honestly have no idea how he managed to get so far on the shitty sad weepy ballad shtick for years
GNR
>>65824687
Apparently I'm the only one on this board jealous of the Hotel California tour.
>>65832764
The Eagles were like the biggest band on the planet for about 3 years.
>>65825357
I like every single one of this albums.
Dave Matthews Band. Dear god, Dave Matthews Band.
>>65832494
Of course, Journey completely failed to make the transition to the MTV age because the guys were too frickin' ugly.
