Big name bands you hate. - General Discussion Discussion

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I love the Beach Boys and Van Halen. I also like some things from Kiss, the Talking Heads, and Motley Crue. Just thought I'd put it a good word for them after you hated on them. :)

Mots modern pop music I can't stand. I do like Bruno Mars, but then he's got more of an old school approach. He sings, no autotune, sounds like he's being backed by human beings playing actual instruments instead of some computer playing a programmed beat.

These are big bands so naturally there's going to be a lot of people disagreeing.

I know. I'm not mad, bro.

I like Bruno Mars for the same reasons you listed. I remember when he was on the Super Bowl XLVIII Halftime Show and I was impressed to see him actually playing real instruments. And no auto-tune garbage.

Auto-tune should be banned. If any "artist" has to rely on this crutch to cover up lack of talent, they shouldn't be in the industry to begin with.

Oh, God. How many bands on my list do you like?

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78608) 4 years ago

I like The Grateful Dead and The Beach Boys well enough but I suggest a duel at dawn over the rest of them you scoundrel!

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

If we got into a duel, we'll have fun, fun, fun until my dad takes the T-bird away.

Oh, I can't stay mad at you (even if you have no taste in music😬)

If I got no taste in music, then explain why I think this is the greatest song of all time? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X53ZSxkQ3Ho

Ditto.

Also, Nirvana. Couldn't stand them back in the 90's, still can't to this very day.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

I like (don't love) them. They're a simple rock band.

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

I don't care much for The rolling stones

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

I used to not like The Rolling Stones, but I game them a chance and I love them.

reply

[–] CreosoteXmp37 (294) 4 years ago

Any band that was soft rock / "yacht rock" that was/is popular from the 1970s on. The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac typifying the sound. I'll concede though that many people really do like vanilla sandwiches on white bread, washed down by watery "light" beer.

Hate the rap/rock bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, Limp Bizkit and the like.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

I agree with you on soft rock. Is it even rock if it's soft? As for rap/rock, the only one I'll accept is Rage Against the Machine.

reply

[–] CreosoteXmp37 (294) 4 years ago

"Is it even rock if it's soft?"

My exact feeling as well.

reply

[–] jonathan_k80 (6436) 4 years ago

I also agree. I can't stand wimpy pop ballads.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

I agree on all except Creedence. They're one of the few American bands I really like. I'm a marginal fan of The Doors but I completely understand the hate.

reply

[–] chilidoggg (14605) 4 years ago

Bad Religion? Big Name Band? LOL

I used to love going to punk concerts in the 1980's.

Husker Du, The Minutemen - now those bands sucked.

[–] sslssg (35199) 4 years ago

I said Rush in the songs you don't want to hear as you die. Honestly though, even with all the ones you've mentioned I still like a few of their songs. There are a lot of bands that I wouldn't miss if they never made music again, but I'm not a hater.

I can even admit that I actually like two Creed songs. Dislike the band, but 2 songs I can listen to so I can't really hate them can I? Even ICP, who really irritate me because my ex husband loved them, has a song that I can listen to all the way through.

I guess I just need to be meaner. Haha

reply

[–] AnubisRaydeen (7897) 4 years ago

I agree on Creed. Two songs by them are good. It was a case of the public opinion kettle boiling over and having to crucify something mega-famous for no other reason than jackpot overdue. Creed was huge and loved ... then butchered on the altar all within about a year.

You remind me that there are maybe 2 newer songs by U2 that I like. I guess I have to give them a pass. Shit, CCR has one too. I'll take the demerits instead of editing.

[–] samoanjoes (58613) 4 years ago

There's gotta be something. Bieber? Katy Perry? Ariane Grande? Beyonce? Any rap artist?

reply

[–] sslssg (35199) 4 years ago

I don't like the guy Bieber, but some of his recent stuff, especially the duets aren't half bad in comparison to the rest of pop. The may be rap artists, screech metal, or some punk that I would hate that I've never heard, but they wouldn't be big names.

I guess I just don't really hate a lot of things. Except wasps. I hate wasps.
