Bands that everyone likes but you don't

[Clear Skies]

Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park...basically everything claiming to be 'nu-metal'...

OK. I'm going to generalise. So basically anything with no discernible lyrics, or over-heavy guitars (sounding like 'stretching a monkey across a tennis court' as Kochanski puts it), anything overly depressing (it's like straws to a camel's back), anything with overmuch swearing in it...

And so the list goes on. Needless to say, everyone else hates my music taste and takes every opportunity to tell me how awful it is.

So for the record, some bands/singers that I DO like.

Alanis Morissette - specially the new album. Hands Clean and Surrendering - *melts*
Joni Mitchell - old, I know, but she's so good...
Tracy Chapman
SeMiSoNiC - Feeling strangely Fine, not that terrible All About Chemistry album
Ace of Base
Garbage (specially Version 2.0)
Blondie
James
Joan Osborne

Tip of the iceberg. Fire away.

[Ramo]

what the hell do you listen to??

Chronologically: Classical, Blues, some Oldies, Folk, "Classic Rock," Metal, Punk, Grunge, Rap, early Alternative, new Proggish-type music (Tool, for instance)...

My favorite bands would be CCR, Zeppelin, Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, Albert King, and Neil Young.

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

Yep. The 80's Metal bands I'm into are more like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, etc.

Green Day sucks!

*Shrug* I like 'em.

And the last Offspring album really sucks too,

I agree.

Albert King isn´t he that blues dude? Never heard him, but the others are great!

They´re good as well, "Reign in blood" is one of the best albums of the ´80´s IMO

I agree.

What do you think of the latest (after ´95 that is) by Bad Religion? They seem to have got stuck, just like Motörhead. Just putting out album after album that essentially sound all the same.

Second entry: Joy Division. Oh I am a depressed poet lah-di-dah it gives me a licence to write boring songs.

The Smiths are like that: la la la so I commit suicide la la la don't eat meat la la la jump off the ferris wheel la la la

Nickelback- Earnest, bearded music by earnest bearded Canadians. With beards. Horrible.

*tries to think of the last good band to come out of England*

I like the songs because they're good traditional rock songs. None of the crap you get with Radiohead and the like being pretentious philosopher-types.

[KrazyHorse]

Ooh! My vote for Nickelback should count for two. They get way too much playtime here.

[Juggernaut]

The worst musical taste I've ever seen in all my life was a friend of a friend of mine's. His entire record collection consists solely of Britney Spears and Ulf Lundell (Swedish progg singer/songwriter). That combination makes my brain sweat. Literally.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Canada? OK, you gave us Neil Young and Buffalo Springfield. However for giving us Bryan Adams and Alanis Morrissette you should be tried for cultural war crimes.

Radiohead?

"moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan."

(Brief and mournful guitar solo)

"moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan."

(Wibbly electronic sound)

"moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan"


Bastards.

[Al B. Sure!]

Jay-Z... I have no idea why that mother****er is so damn popular. He has no point. He's just talking about big pimpin. His delivery is average and his rhymes are bad.

[Tiamat]

Albert King

I knew you were a smart man!! Albert King was a main influence for Stevie Ray Vaughn the quenticential Blues King!!

[Caesar the Great]

basically any rap, rock-rap, creed, blink 182 and all those "boy bands" otherwise i'll listen to pretty much anything...

oh yeah, hendrix never really clicked with me...

"moan etc..."

Now that´s true, but I them anyway...

[Ramo]

Thanks Tia. Albert King heavily influenced Clapton as well.

KX - I have to agree, unfortunately. Bad Religion's albums haven't been all that excellent recently. Nothing that great coming from them since Stranger Than Fiction. But I from what I heard from last month's release, it's much less bland.

[Caligastia]

I cant stand Creed either.
I hate they way the singer sounds especially, his voice sounds like someone has a vice-like grip on his windpipe.
