How can Paramore be thought of as the best band ever?

Alright, so I was reading another person's question ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgYFV... ) and not 1, not 2, but THREE people picked Paramore.

How is that even possible? Seriously, they are an awful band that creates even worse "music." I'll admit, the chick is hawt, but that's ALL they have going for them.

    I don't know where people come to that conclusion either, LOL. Paramore girl is a knock of so many other female rock singers before her. Have they never heard of Chrissie Hynde, Shirley Manson, Courtney Love, Patricia Day, Debbie Harry -- hell, even Karen O, for that matter! I think anyone that says Paramore is the "best band ever" doesn't have a very wide knowledge of females in music, which is a shame.

  • Music is art. Art is subjective. There can be no objective analysis of which art form is "better" than another. You like what you like, and they like what they like. We all have our favorites, but there is no such thing as an artistic heirarchy.

    I knew about Paramore since they first started out, so I've grown to have tolerance for them, but they are definitely not the best band ever.

    I actually have to go with your two! I love the Distillers and Horropops.

    But, Joan Jett is my third, and since you didn't say her, I will.

    oh come on! its freaking music!

    good music is in the eye of the beholder

    i personally like paramore and i like many other bands as well

    why are people judging others on what type of music they like??

    we all have our personal tastes and shouldnt be judged by that

    you may like another band that i absolutely hate but im not gonna go posting a question

    'how can you like this band'

    so like i said its freaking music quit arguing about it

    hey man that's just an opinion and as far as I'm concerned everyone is entitled to express their opinion. Besides I bet they are teenie girls, they still a lot of discovering to do.

    Because the person claiming this is probably a 15 year old female who has seen twilight and thinks they are an 'individual'.

    I wouldn't say they are the best out of all the bands out there but they are one of the best. Their sound is unique and they have achieved so much. It just sucks when people only pick this band because they might have heard one of their singles on the radio or like them just because of Hayley. That's just ridiculous. Yes, they are very talented, but not the best.
