Dude...Bad Religion make shitty music with shitty beats and have a lead singer with a terrible voice. And their lyrics mean nothing.
Greg Graffins deep, grating voice is what lends Bad Religion it's unique quality, and is far from terrible. Pray tell how many of their songs you've listened to, if possible the names of the songs so I can tell just how biased against the band you have to be to hate them. "Shitty beats" you called them? Listen to Supersonic, the drums especially, and keep in mind those are human hands playing each note and not a synthesizer programmed to. Not many bands can play like that.
The lyrics mean nothing? You're just not listening to them, not reading between the lines. BR uses a lot of symbolism and metaphors in their songs. Take Supersonic for instance, they sing about how the human race is advancing so quickly that you seem to need to go "supersonic" in order to keep from falling behind the rest of civilization. Skyscraper is, deep down, a telling of the ancient story of The Tower of Bab-il. Recipe For Hate talks about how the way America works is asking for trouble. I could go on, but I think I've made my point.
Keep in mind, I've listened to a lot of Bad Religion, and know most all of their songs word for word (including many that were not released in the US). You want to insult Bad Religion, you'd better give something better than those garbage reasons.
