Popular bands you never were crazy about...

Villavic · #1 01-19-2005, 03:09 PM

Not that I hate but... I never got crazy about Yes or The Who, not my style I think

And I liked Stairway to Heaven and Love Hurts but.. never a fan of Led Z.

Neither Spice Girls, I loved to dance their songs but.. didn't look for them on the radio.

QUEEN. I never saw what the big deal was with Queen. I guess they're ok or whatever, but not *AMAZING*.

Pretty much all of them in the music world today lol..I hate rap/hip-hop - and it seems to be dominating right now....

Never been a fan of the boy bands (except for New Kids

)

Also I've never really liked the Rolling Stones.

Motley Crue. Just too gross for me!

Green Day (oy, they annoy the **** out of me)
Blink 182 (ditto)
Good Charlotte (if I hear one person tell me how amazing they are, I'm going to slit my wrists)
The Eagles (my mother drove me nuts with them as a child)
Rod Stewart (good gracious!)
Queen (to say that Mercury had one helluva voice is an understatement, but the music itself just did nothing for me)
The Rolling Stones (used to love them, but then realized that they haven't done anything worthwhile in years)

WHATT???? You'll make me hava a heart attack!!

QUEEN is wonderful! And their music... The Prophet song, Mustafa, Spread your Wings, I'm going slightly mad, Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to love, etc...!!!

I love Queen, it was my first option until I met the mac... Anyway, nothing is written about tastes. That's the world we live, different colors, different tastes..

opening a can of worms here...

Blondie (Not a fan, But I do respect them)

The Go-Go's

Culture Club

Black Sabbath (Only with Ozzy Osbourne as the singer...Never cared for the Ozzy led Sabbath)

Sheryl Crow

Any pop singer (I was raised that if you CANNOT pick up a guitar and AT LEAST strum along to a song that you sing you are NOT a musician!!!)

Any pop/punk band (Truckers hats & low strung guitars dont equal punk...It does equal "weak pretender"!)

EVERY NU-METAL BAND!!! (As someone once sang "The Trend is Dead...")

Evanescence (Amy Lee can sing, but the backing musicians need lessons badly!)

Ick & Bitch (I mean Big & Rich...Sorry dudes, You are considered the biggest joke in country music. Your on par with a fictional band Spinal Tap, The only thing is everyone knew Spinal tap was a fictional band!)

Merle Haggard (I laugh at HOW MANY tards assume he lived in Muskogee because of his abomination song about my hometown, He NEVER did!...Hey Merle, Has anymore of the jets ya own crashed with loads of cocaine aboard??? Go f**k yourself ok?)

Garth Brooks (Sorry Garth...Your hometown of Yukon is to country music is what the KKK is to gansta rap! The only cows there are the ones who shop at Wal-Mart!)

Any person who appears on "American Idotic & Tone Deaf Idol" who sings...Sorry folks, Go earn it the hard way by establishing yourself the hard way by WORKING FOR IT (Playing clubs & paying yer dues)...Don't let a bunch of asstard "never-was" judges stand in your way!

If you do trade for those boots, maybe they'll change your mind.

That's how I feel about Queen, though. They're f*cking fabulous, there's no denying it, but they just never "grabbed" me like other bands. Mercury does have one of the most incredible voices I've ever heard, though. That man was otherworldly, it's spooky.

DrummerDeanna · #12 01-19-2005, 05:45 PM

Ya know - I've owned No Exit since the year it came out - I had someone buy it for me for the Songs Maria and the live Rapture...

Only recently after your breakdown of it and your discussions on Blondie have I listened to the whole thing...and I LOVE it!!

Thanks Diss - I had a great cd already in my collection

GateandGarden · #13 01-19-2005, 05:47 PM

I never got into New Kids On the Block.

I got into them right before they started going out....I was only in fourth grade - so perhaps you were just too young to be fully obsessed with NKOTB?? haha...nah there are, also, a lot of people who just didn't like them..ya know, people with taste at a young age

- I LOVED them

I discovered the same thing last year with one of my Bonnie Raitt CDs. I had bought it for a couple songs and had never really listened to it, but when I did, I was blown away.

No Exit is one of my favorite albums from anyone.

Everything about it is superb, from the writing to the vocals to the mixing to the production; it's just chillingly good. And it has such a sense of fun to it all, it puts me in a good mood right away.

Any favorite tracks?
