I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?

Just because they were big for a couple years doesn't mean they produced anything of value. Angsty music for middle class white boys is nothing special.

    You should really look up woodstock 99 and see the lineup. They headlined the whole show. Doing music with Emenim, Wu-Tang, and Korn, all 90s and 00s icons. Fred Durst help out staind and puddle of mudd. You might not like them but you can't ignore what theu brought to music.

    I was in highschool when they came on the scene. I'm well aware of Woodstock 99. Nothing you said counters my point. Looking back they didn't belong in the same breath as the other bands you listed except puddle of mudd.

    6. 29 mil. With 13 mil highest sold over 4 cds.

    Tell me which one of these bands had the most influence. Also what does race have to do with it?

    Records sold doesn't = valuable music, culturally. Blink 182 was huge they didn't make a lasting impact on music.

    It's ok if you like limp Bizkit but stop pretending like they made meaningful music. Next you'll be comparing them to the Beatles.
