Bands that you can't stand
-
There's plenty of stuff that appeals to me. Plenty of stuff I don't like to listen to it all. Some that I absolutely love and some I can't stand.
I'm not necessarily right and they aren't necessarily wrong, just whatever strikes my fancy. For a lot of different reasons.
One side thought I've often had is that the person who claims 'well I like all kinds of music' probably really doesn't love any of it. Maybe?
My number one request of all time is brown eyed girl. I don't particularly find it foul but I'm puzzled that so many people find this to be the one song above any other to bring joy and meaning to their lives.

You mean behind "Freebird" right
Hearing "Play Freebird"!! every fucking night is one of the biggest reasons I quit gigging..
Someone mentioned AC/DC.. One of my all time favorite quotes .. "I'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same." Angus Young

Nope, I get three times as many requests, probably more, for brown eyed girl. Lots of assholes shout out a free bird because they think its funny, but real requestsYou mean behind "Freebird" right

I'm surprised U2 on so many lists. While I wouldn't go out of my way to see them to put them in with Insane Clown Posse seems a bit odd.

Again my inclusion of Petty and U2 has little to do with music talent. They are superior to any group I listed and have talent in their own right. It's just their music I've found insufferable or beyond overplayed.

I worked with this dude and he went to see LS right. He took a female with him. Free bird was playing and she told him it was her fav. He ducks down and swoops her up between her legs and lifts her so she can get a good look.
LS decided to play the extra long version and he was getting so tired and still didn't want to look like a pussy and put her down. He did anyway he said fuck it because she was a big girl. Lmao

I didnt know any body that actually liked U2 which is part of the reason I always wondered how they became such a mega super group. Who were all these people buying their music?

Lots and lots and lots of people.
Here is an anecdote about U2: In high school my daughter had to do a project whereby she had to take the play Romeo and Juliet and apply some kind of medium to it. She chose to take the songs of U2 as a sort of a soundtrack or correlation to various scenes in Romeo and Julet.
Example, the one I remember is that she used Sunday Bloody Sunday for the fight scene....and various things like that.
Two Hearts beat as One for one of the Love Scenes. Their version of Everlasting Love for another.
It actually was a cool project, and a lot of these songs fit in perfectly. I would have to dig it up to see the whole thing she did. She got an A on it naturally.
(she ain't gettin As in college)

Who knows, and who cares? Records are selling even though I don't know anyone who owns a Britney Spears record, a Michael Jackson album or a Katy Perry CD.

Yes, you do. I own Thriller. Michael Jackson. Or, at least my wife does, can't recall if she bought it or I did. Have had it since it came out, what? almost 30 years ago?
But Britney and Katy? No, we don't have those (though my daughter may)..and you know her.

Ditto... plus I bought Bad. Read an article about the recording process used for that CD and the SQ is spectacular.
MJ was a meticulous producer on the order of Alan Parsons when it came to his music.
The first time I spun APP's I, Robot... I was slack-jawed. It was like everything else I owned had a veil on it. MJ's Bad is that kind of experience.

Not to impugn Michael Jackson's considerable talent I would say the credit for production goes to a true American genius, Quincy Jones.

Some really great bands drawing hate... To each his own...
There are only a few that make me change the station...
Kiss, Golden Earing and Foghat top that list for me along with Phil Collins... although some of his Genesis stuff is listenable. It just pales vs. the Peter Gabriel led efforts.
As others have pointed out there are plenty of Rock sub-genres I generally steer clear of. But most will still have a group or two I can enjoy. A couple have even achieved guilty pleasure status only to be revealed in the midst of a good drunk with good friends.
There've been a few groups over the years that have worked their way off my "no play" list.
The Doors are one example. Bought a remastered, 2-CD "Best of..." 12 years ago or so just because I did not own any so there was a hole that needed filling. Working late one night I spun it as background and ended up shelving the work and going into one of those magical midnight listening sessions. So friggin' musical...
Another was AC/DC... pretty much the same story. Filled the hole with a couple remastered LPs when BMG cleared out their stock a decade or so ago. Ended up a very late blooming fan...
Now who is issuing the hate. Some great bands you are dissing there, this one in particular:

Golden Earring & Deep Purple played the night after Frank Sinatra opened the Richfield Coliseum. My ears are still ringing from that one.

A damn shame because Kanye's first album was one I could listen to start to finish.
His second wasn't too bad either.
Then the dude straight lost his mind and his music went with him.

And Gene Simmons did a reality TV show. What's your point?
It means what it means. Every popular song does not need to be complicated and that lack of complication does not mean the performers are not talented.

well put....i know you said you did not like pink floyd...but that does not mean gilmore and waters are not talented because they are 2 fucking talented musicians..just not your cup of tea, thats all...i understand...i feel that way about some bands also....i was never a bowie fan but fuck, he changed the world and he was an incredible entertainer...i have to admit, i did buy the ziggy stardust album though...but was never interested in seeing him in concert...

Zeppelin had the best concerts.
Alice Cooper for my money.
Alice Cooper for my money.
saw alice cooper like around 10-15 times...never get sick of his show...he does look a little funny with all that makeup on now that he is old...but he still performs well...."I LOVE THE DEAD". I actually saw them the first time when love it to death came out and they did ballad of dwight fry all the way thru, along with the song second coming that blended into ballad of dwight fry....now they just do part of the song without second coming...that show was at a high school auditorium that seated about 500-600 people....yeah, it was awesome...

I love every thing about Alice Cooper!.....talk about a guy who doesnt take himself too seriously and knows how to have some fun......last saw him at Classic Park in Eastlake(just a few years ago) and it was a great show....
He has a great band too....ever evolving, but really solid players.....
