me playing guitar (don't act like you're not impressed)

music is subjective so everyone is wrong all the time, unless its godsmack they suck.

I can understand that the song "Voodoo" is void of melodic complexity, and that a lot of godsmack is shit, but I think they still have a few songs that are worth listening to. If Pink Floyd had wrote the song Serenity back in the day, you'd be all in to it, you'd be amazed like "I can't believe Pink Floyd made something that sounds so heavy and is still so awesome!"
Should a band's music be classified as good or bad just based on their namesake?

I think a lot of Iron Maiden sucks, a statement which most of my friends would lynch me for making. I think people like the imagery associated with Iron Maiden as opposed to their music itself - their music doesn't seem to stand by itself in my opinion (except for a few songs).

The band has nothing to do with it, if Pink Floyd had written a Godsmack song it wouldn't automatically been good, it would have been a really shitty Pink Floyd song. Serenity is a shitty song no matter whose label you attach to it. It's not like Pink Floyd ever made a bad album, Atom Heart Mother is godawful.

Whether or not you like Iron Maiden is irrelevant, they did new things and were hugely influential. Godsmack makes shitty generic hard rock, they don't innovate, and their influence on the genre and music in general has been null.
