Bands that everyone likes but you don't

[Blackwidow24]

your point being??KX????ON THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD HAHAHAHAHAHA

DRAKE does this sound depressing to you?


This Twilight Garden

I lift my lips from kissing you
To kiss the sky
Cloud soft and blue
And slow the sun melts down
Into your golden words for me

I lift my hands from touching you
To touch the wind that whispers through
This twilight garden
Turns into a world
Where dreams are real

No-one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No-one will ever take your place
So in love with you

I lift my eyes from watching you
To watch the star rise shine onto
Your dreaming face and dreaming smile
You're dreaming worlds for me

I lift my lips from kissing you
And kiss the sky wide deepest blue
And slow the moon swims up
Into your golden words for me

No-one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No-one will ever take your place
So in love with you

Speaking of "gay" bands I like Kamrat, there are several PSB tunes that I particularly like.

Violator by Depeche Mode is excellent all around.....

After looking at both the cure and doors lyrics ive realized that I probably am not very good at casting judgement, on which song might be better written. That being said, the cure song does seem to have a little more order. The End is a nice mellow song, but I certainly wouldn't put the lyrics into any great category

Well, you can´t sense the greatness in Morrissons lyrics if you´re not stoned...

And RS´s lyrics DO sound better if you don´t have to listen to him whining them

[drake]

The lyrics certainly arent depressing bw......but what does the song actually sound like I wonder.....

[Blackwidow24]

It is beautiful..the most angelic arrangement of instruments you have ever heard......DRake..you must download these songs and hear for your self..do it on Audio Galaxy!!!

[rev]

Alright, but few of these lyrics even begin to compare with some of Ben Folds pre-"Reinhold Messner".

[Zoid]

Ben Who?

UUCCCKKKK

Just about all electronica
Just about all "alternative" (barring a few of the early 90's alternative bands, when the name actually meant something)
Just about all non-thrash 80's metal (except for AC/DC)
Just about all pop-punk (excluding Green Day and the Offspring)

I think I've finished insulting everyone's tastes.

By non-trash I assume you mean Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Pretty Maids and such?

Green Day sucks! And the last Offspring album really sucks too,

17 IIRC

I must say that KX is right..GD and OffS SUCK HARDCORE

Tool's goodness comes from their technical skill. The time signatures in their later stuff is off the wall. However, they are definitely an aquired taste, and I certainly would have never gotten into them if I hadn't heard them all the time. Same goes for Radiohead. These are bands that have niche audiences who pay attention to the mechanics.

Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Greatful Dead, and others are for drug users primarily. DMB has somewhat broader appeal, but the core audience is still just a bunch of stoners. A friend of mine told me a joke about this:

What did the Deadhead say to his friend when he ran out of pot?

Man, this music sucks.

I would say Creed, Nickelback, Staind, et al. I don't feel sorry for these poor white male Americans who live miserable lives. I do feel sorry for the poor bastards stuck in traffic who have to listen to the ****.

As long as nobody mentions Sublime, or Outkast though, it's all good.

Well, being someone else who hates Nickelback I can say it's neither of those reasons. The main reason is that they lack any form of originality, creativity and energy. Half-hearted music that sounds like it was recorded in the mid-eighties (and the bands then did it with much more finesse and better production). Extremely boring, extremely predictable, extremely not Rock.

If you can honesty predict how the rest of the song goes, why aren't you making millions writing them? Obviously the general public loves it, seeing as it keeps floating around the #1 point on the rock charts here.

The whole point of Nickelback isn't "finesse". That's probably why you don't like it, you're missing the whole point. Typical music critic garbage.

And I also disagree with your energy comment. The songs are pretty loaded with energy, much much more so than most bands today (save for How You Remind Me, a mellow ballad-esque song...).

You blast them for originality and creativity: They're not supposed to revolutionize any genre. They never set out to. They set out to make songs many people would enjoy listening to. And they do just that.

Once you start making music better than Nickelback, Snapcase, I'll let you judge it. It sounds like all you've heard are the singles off of the album by your comments...

:

AC/DC
most punk-hardcore songs.
most of emo.
many punk songs ( OVERDOSE !)

what I like is techno, industrial, hardcore, and possible combinations of these.

of course I like most music. But my feeling is , that a music should fit the mood, not the same music all the time . Damn it , I've got George Michael's 'Jesus to a child'
