The ten crap acts of Coachella

[eudaemonia]

If this is an attempt to discourage people from waiting to see these "crap" bands, by all means continue. I prefer not to fight for the front.

[starrdogg]

I'm sure that every band at Coachella will draw a crowd, but these are the act that I'll be avoiding, not to call them "crap" necessarily, but I definitely don't have to worry about conflicts from:

Nickel Creek
Jack's Mannequin
Circa Survive
Fair to Midland
The Frames
The Feeling
Amos Lee
Julieta Venegas

[corpathina]

that "no list" is most of my "yes list". you know what's also my yes list? the whole fucking poster.

i'd be happy if i got to see every single act there. it'll be tough to limit my choices. seriously, none of the bands there are all that crappy, otherwise they wouldn't be playing such an amazing festival like coachella. if you want crappy bands, stay home and go to your local bar.

if you just paid as $500+ to go to coachella, i hope you wanted to see more than 3 bands. i know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but if i hated so many bands on the lineup, i would've stayed my ass at home, instead of paying a lot of money just so i had the right to get online every night and bitch about the lineup.

Ehh i'm there to see about 8-12 bands. The others I will wander into randomly.

[ThunderInTheSky]

New Pornographers are nothing without Neko and Neko is a suck ass live musician most of the time. I can listen to her in the studio with that voice all day though.

You obviously don't realize that the New Pornographers are a supergroup. Id be upset to see them without her but I would be just as happy to see Daniel Bejar with them.

[ThunderInTheSky]

Maybe not crap per se, but here's my no list:

Amy Winehouse
Rufus Wainwright
Nickel Creek
El-P
Circa Survive
Gillian Welch
Tilly and the Wall
Noisettes
Brother Ali
Coco Rosie
The Decemberists
Kings of Leon
Travis
Regina Spektor
Fountains of Wayne
Roky Erickson and the Explosives
Blonde Redhead
Jack's Mannequin
The Nightwatchman
Pharoahe Monch
Fields
The Cribs
Pop Levi
The Frames
The Fratellis
New Pornographers
Black Keys
Crowded House
The Roots
Amos Lee
Against Me!
Ratatat
Junior Boys
The Feeling
Mando Diao
Grizzly Bear
Mika
The Coup
The Avett Bros
Anathallo
Fair to Midland

Why are you even going to Coachella if you dont like any of these bands listed above? Have you seen Anathallo live? Holy shit they are amazing, I was fortunite enough to book them in 2003 and they blew me away. Do you even know who Roky Erickson is? Black Keys are one of the best live performances around right now, you better see them before they break up like every other good band out there.

[mistdevil]

WELL I GOTTA SAY DAY 1 Nobody.. other days ehh...

[NeverMyopic]

Some of you need a kick in the junk / flaps.

If you don't like a band ... DON'T FUCKING GO TO SEE THEM. There are a few bands I don't like and to me that's not all bad as there is less chance of a conflict at the time they're on.

I totally agree. I like it when there's bands I don't care to see, it helps alleviate conflicts. Although, we would all like to see every band we love play...

[crazzz2007]

Daft Punk's studio stuff is nothing to shoot a load over but seeing them live is a 90 minute orgasm.

it's pointless to compare Daft Punk's studio stuff with their live shows. their studio stuff are simply a starting point. it is like their alphabet. only during their live shows can we truly see the beauty and awesomeness of what they have created.

[rage patton]

Konono No. 1 are rad! I cannot wait to see them. Are you sure you listened to the right band?
Also, why Roky Erickson? Why? What did he ever do to you?
Against Me!? Listen to their oooold stuff. Thier acoustic/folk/punk stuff.
Ugh so many others that are actually good...
There are actually only TWO bands I dont like at all on this entire bill
Circa Survive and Jack Mannequin

[woogie846]

Anyone who says a bad word about crowded house is going to be shot.

A bad word about Crowded House.

What now??

[bmack86]

I liked Circa Survive live but I can't stand their recorded stuff. They were very spacey in a live setting. Can't see it working well in a large venue tho

[BoneDaddy]

It's all opinion. My criteria is that I listened to every band I didn't know and created a no, maybe, yes list. I listened to AT LEAST 7-8 songs per band, and many of them I saw live thanks to YouTube and other sites. I do this every year in order to know who I want to see. Who I want see. More bang for my buck.

I'm sure I've seen shows that have blown my mind, but someone here would think was crap.

Here's my Maybe and Yes lists, there's plenty to keep my entertained without wasting a minute on bands I don't like. Didn't say they were crap, just not my style. I won't even be able able to see everyone on my yes list.

In no particular order.

Maybe:

Jesus and Mary Chain
Interpol
Bjork (seen her before)
Red Hot Chili Peppers(seen twice before)
Yeva
Willie Nelson
The Lemonheads
Rage Against the Machine (seen before)

Yes:
Gogol Bordello
Sonic Youth
Busdriver
David Guetta
Benny Benassi
Julieta Venegas
Silversun Pickups
Comedians of Comedy
Digitalism
Stephen Marley/Jr Gong
Evil Nine
Peaches
Peeping Tom
Tokyo Police Club
Brazilian Girls
Jarvis Cocker
Arctic Monkeys
Felix Da Housecat
DJ Shadow
Faithless
Andrew Bird
Cornelius
DJ Heather
Mike Relm
Justice
Ghostface Killah
Peter Bjorn and John
Hot Chip
Girl Talk
Ozomatli
LCD Soundsystem
The Rapture
Sparklehorse
Gotan Project
!!!
Arcade Fire
MSTRKRFT
The Good, the Bad and the Queen
Tiesto
Teddybears
Kid Beyond
Tapes N Tapes
The Kooks
CSS
Damien Rice
Jose Gonzales
Lily Allen
Soulwax
Rodriego y Gabriela

Spank Rock
Lupe Fiasco

Explosions in the Sky
Paul Van Dyke
Air
Richie Hawtin
Infected Mushroom
Manu Chao
Placebo
Konono No.1
Klaxons

Am I cool enough now to hang out with yous?

it's pointless to compare Daft Punk's studio stuff with their live shows. their studio stuff are simply a starting point. it is like their alphabet. only during their live shows can we truly see the beauty and awesomeness of what they have created.

I really wasn't trying to compare the two rather I was trying to make a point about studio productions vs live productions in general using the first comparison that came to my mind.

Also, does anyone actually see more than 8-12 bands a day anyways?

[SubBass49]

For those of you who are on the fence about hip-hop, may I suggest that you AT LEAST check out El-P and Brother Ali. I have a feeling they may change your minds...

I wish there was more crap bands so i wouldn't have to inevitably choose over two bands I want to see... conflicts are a bitch.

Damn, three people with lists, fifty people whining about the lists.


Top 10 Crap Bands At Coachella 2007

10. Lily Allen
9. Willy Nelson
8. Kings Of Leon
7. Sonic Youth
6. Fountains Of Wayne
5. Air
4. The Lemonheads
3. Peeping Tom
2. Arcade Fire
1. Red Hot Chili Peppers


Yeah, "more room for us to see these great bands, why don't you stay home". Shutup douche

[grungysabbathemohater]

Kings of Leon?!?!!?!? Blasphemy!!!!!!!!! They will put on one of the most exciting sets on Saturday

I agree with shotglass 75. For me Kings of Leon are the band that I am most excited about seeing on Saturday. Even if they conflict with Arcade Fire, I will go see Kings of Leon instead. I listen to KOL's 2nd album constantly, and love the rockin' energy of that album. Can't wait to finally see them live!
Instead of doing a 'NO LIST', I would rather contribute something positive to the board and do a 'YES LIST'. Here goes:
YES LIST:
Rage Against the Machine
Kings of Leon
Sonic Youth
Air
Silversun Pickups
Peeping Tom
Willie Nelson
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Arcade Fire
Bjork
Black Keys
Peaches

MAYBE:
Stephen Marley
Interpol
the Good, the Bad, the Queen
the Roots
the Lemonheads
Gillian Welch
Crowded House
an electronica act or two (not really my thing, but I'm curious)

If I get to see the majority of the bands on my 'Yes' list, then my own personal Coachella experience will be worth it; so there is no need for me to complain about the other bands present that I don't want to see. If other people are having a good time watching other bands that I don't listen to/ don't like, then so be it. That will just more room for me to get up front to see Sonic Youth, Kings of Leon, or Willie.
(Now the real conflict for me is not going to be at this year's Coachella, but at Bonnaroo....the Roo has more of my favorite rock bands playing then Coachella does, and hopefully they won't conflict with one another's set times. But that's a whole other thread.)

[Courtney]

1-9. RHCP
10. Lily Allen

Sorry, that's all I got.

[RATMan]

1-9. RHCP
10. Lily Allen

Sorry, that's all I got.

Good, nine more empty spaces up front for me to see the Chili Peppers

Since you are obviously a RATM and I will assume also a hard rock fan, who exactly are you interested in seeing at Coachella other then RATM?
Don't get me wrong....RATM are the main reason that I am going to this year's fest; but as a rock music fan, i am also excited to see several of the bands that you have listed as 'CRAP'. So I am just curious what another RATM fan is into seeing at Coachella.

Go make a Top Ten Great Acts thread and I'll post my list there.

You can post your Ten Crap Acts list there, too. Be a rebel.

Arctic Monkeys

Are the Arctic Monkeys that crappy? I've never seen them live, but they won all sorts of popularity awards in the UK this year, so I'm curious to see how good or shitty they really are.

I'll bet the place will be jumping when they play this number:

Arctic Monkeys live at the Reading Festival 2006
