"favorite bands beside the cure"... what about the groups on the other end of the scale?
and you'll surely anger someone by saying it all out loud but hey don't be afraid to speak up! ;)
(but let's just not start fighting, this is all supposed to be just some "happy venting" 8))

ok i'll give (and take! ;)) the first beating:


first of all: don't even bother including any "artists" like david hasselhoff or paris hilton etcetc. - i mean, do they really exist after all...? let's only consider somewhat more... hmm dedicated people.


OASIS - also blur, pulp, what-the-heck-their-name-was etcetc..... basically any 90s brit pop group that ever existed. my god that was all so futile. no need to say anything more about it.


SISTERS OF MERCY, bauhaus & any the likes - ok sorry guys, i know a LOT of you will disagree. but... the most pretentious stuff that existed: it's someone growling something on a low voice - "ok thanks, now let's have something else, please show me what else you got?" yes?  hello....?? .....???? there's nothing else than growling... on a low voice - gloomy, uuuh...
it's just so damn boring.


MORRISSEY - sorry again, but he drives me nuts. i admit that i sort of respect him though and i can even listen to some of his stuff  and think it's ok, but i just can't stand the sight of him for one single second. and every time he opens his mouth for an interview something so awfully self-centered pours out that you can't but feel ashamed for him. i feel ashamed and also slighty disgusted, to be honest. and if i ever again see any glimpse of a videoo where he's waving his pelvis and also a bunch of gladioli on some top of the pops singback performance i want to shoot myself...! (or maybe just my TV)


next!  ;)

I dislike the most a finnish group that most of you luckily don´t know (yup).
And i dislike almost every other finnish rock and pop group also.

I think the worst group of all time is Tangerine dream. One or two nice noisy records
and some 50+ albums of crap.

there are so many "artists" that sucks that It would take me hours to write down everything.

Personally I do HATE "Reggaeton" and all that shitty music related. This includes, but it's not limited to Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, etc. :smth078

I also hate Hip-Hop, Rap and all that crap: Justin Timberlake, Eminem, etc.

Finally, I don't like Placebo (too sad to see them playing together with the best of the planet) and neither Morrissey (seems antipatic to me).

Don't know there's so many garbage out there: Shakira, Thalia, etc.

David.

that's what i meant with paris hilton - there's too much crap of course, it would be pointless to try and list it all.
but i can see now that i presented my question in a bit wrong way there/wasn't entirely clear what i meant.

an example: it very often happens that when you say you're a curefan then a lot of people immediately think "oh i see, so you like THAT sort of music, so you're also into that old early 80s goth stuff, ok..." - just like they knew everything immediately. and i'm personally always a bit annoyed that people expect me to like sisters of mercy and bauhaus & all that sort of stuff because i like the cure. but still, it's different than saying 'shakira' is crap. you can say 'shakira is crap' and most people would go 'oh yes' - so you don't have to explain yourself for saying that. (the same goes to all those finnish bands btw...  ;))
so there're loads of artists like that and listing them all here would be just completely uninteresting. but if you say 'morrissey is crap' then it might start a conversation, because obviously you are talking about artists who are not entirely crap after all... but there's just something there that bothers YOU personally too much...
so what i meant was to ask what "respectable" artists you can't stand (and why).
i just thought it might tell something about us individually, just like saying what we do like can do.

well, good question :)

i don't like

Rolling Stones: i don't like them , don't like their way to do music neither their way to appear.
Madonna: for obvious things, i don't like her music and her music doesn't like me.that's all :)
Red Hot Chili Peppers (at least in this period) : they were pretty good in the past, but actually they're very very very bad in my opinion.
Zwan : gosh, i was expecting so much from this record that i thought this was "horrible". i'm so sad that the new line-up of Smashing Pumpkins will be, very similar to the Zwan one.
Queen : don't ask me why, i really don't know but i can't listen to their song (except for some) for more than 5 minutes.

:)

I cant stand

U2 - same song, different words for their entire career, and so arrogant its embarrassing to watch

Coldplay - the modern dictionary definition of the word BOREDOM

Razorlight - the next U2 in terms of arrogance, and a poor rip off of bob geldof/boomtown rats.....again they send me to sleep

Slayer (and other similar bands) - i actually like these, they bring me to tears of hysterics :smth043

Duran Duran/Spandau Ballet - if i had to choose which one to go and see, id flick a coin and just hope it exploded and killed me....

and there are quite a few more.... :smth045

well, i do really not think U2 has ever done one (just one) song similar to another one of their entire catalogue... anyway, that's an opinion, and has to be respected..and i respect it, but i disagree :)

This topic struck some chords in me. For now I'll just comment on some previous replies:

I like some of Oasis' stuff. Not all their songs are great, and I certainly don't see how people can be obsessed with them. I heard some live stuff by them, and it was awful...

I couldn't agree more about the Bauhaus/Sisters of Mercy stuff. Ok, so you can grovel in a low voice over some semi-creepy (and mostly boring) music. Ok!  :roll:


I can't standing Morrissey either. Some of his music is ok, there's obviously some talent behind it. Then again, I think it gets irritating quick. And watching him perform is indeed painful.

I agree that U2 is way too full of themselves and sometimes embarrassing to watch, but I still like a lot of their music. As for it all being the same, yes, sometimes â€" they surely repeat themselves more than The Cure does. But there are far worse bands out there!

Coldplay is definitely one of the most boring groups to ever exist...

Maybe Slayer and Sisters of Mercy can team up one day and collaborate on some thrashing, gloomy low-voiced groveling? ;)

haha hey YOU better watch what YOU say here...  :smth077

i was actually going to add the next three poor candidates soon and queen was/is going to be among those for sure.
the only reason why they didn't make my top 3 was because i still do respect them as musicians somewhat notably more than some completely silly and pretentious people like andrew eldritch etc.
so no, i do not like queen, apart from a couple of songs.

got it?  :lol:

yes you're safe what comes to queen but maybe not so safe what comes to RHCP....  :shock: :smth096

;)

about RHCP: actually i never used to be such a big fan until quite recently. but stadium arcadium has pretty much been THE peppers album for me. and they just don't cease to astonish me as musicians - and especially frusciante's been simply awesome!  :rocker
i've seen quite many of their recent gigs on video lately and i have to admit that they've fluctuated a bit what comes to solid performances. some shows haven't been that great at all (maybe because they were having some technical issues on some festival gigs too? i'm not entirely sure). but then some other gigs were just superb, superb, i think.
(i really do regret it that i didn't go over to stockholm to see them play two consecutive nights in december, the last shows on their european tour. but i had to choose whether to go over there or to germany to see muse or to see them, and i chose the latter one. couldn't choose to have both because i simply didn't have enough money to travel... :smth091  but i shouldn't have missed them! )

Blood Sugar Sex Magic and Stadium Arcadium are the TWO RHCP albums to own.  Mother's Milk has some excellent cuts, too.  Having seen them twice I can agree that they aren't always the best live.  The first show I saw was okay, but Anthony's vocals were pretty shitty.  The second show was fantastic!  Excellent sound, John and Flea couldn't have sounded better.  Anthony's vocals were on and you could hear John's vocals (something that doesn't always happen).

@ Japanese Baby, Not a fan of Queen?  But you love Muse.  To each their own...

Kind of funny, I typed in Muse on Rhapsody and the results I received for bands a Muse fan might like were Coldplay, U2, Keane, Snow Patrol, Johnny Cash, Placebo, Queensryche, Radiohead, Oasis, and a few others.  They got you pegged  :P 

 

well to be honest i never understood the huge connection that people (critics?) tend to see between muse and queen. sure, both aim to certain kind of "epic expression" but i think they are epic in different ways. maybe it's the vocals, just as long as the vocals aim to certain kind of dramaticism and reach a bit higher (without becoming something silly like darkness or without being used in a obvious heavy metal context) then people say "queen!" (?)

(coldplay, queensryche? my *ss....  ;) )

Hey, Queensrych was the shit back in the day.  Operation Mindcrime is a great album  :rocker  I once drove through a blizzard to see them.  They filmed the live footage for 'Anybody Listening?' after the concert.  Terrible song and even worse video.  It's painful to watch now.    Coldplay mildly interests me.  They have a few songs I can stand.

yes i meant queensryche today.... and believe it or not, back in the old days when metal bands were the top shit i used to love operation mindcrime, i remember i had bought a cassette tape which i used to play over and over again until the tape died... and then i had to go and buy a new one and this time i was wise and bought a cd version...  :smth082

to me coldplay is quite meaningless band, i think one U2 is enough and so i don't get it why some people think so highly of them. but maybe i just don't care about them that much so they don't exactly irritate me either.

but if i may, about those runner-ups i mentioned earlier:

QUEEN - i just don't get it, there's something that's musically totally strange to me. and most of the time i think it's just plain tiresome too. very good musicianship there for sure but....  :?

ABBA - well, that is if it counts here. i just can't stand most of it, whether it's being played as originals or covers. i was recently watching a video from a U2 zoo TV tour gig from stockholm '92 and they had the two abba dudes appearing as special guests (of course because they were in sweden) and they did 'dancing queen'. god that was so embarrassing somehow...

uh i had the third one but i forgot it, maybe i don't hate it anough then...
but well it's someone else's turn anyway...

Bands/artists I hate include the following:

Nickleback, Jet, Blue October, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the Disco, Modest Mouse, The Bravery, Siousxie and the Banshees, Ween, 311, 3 Doors Down, Hoobastank, Rancid, Scissor Sisters, Hawthorne Heights, Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, Shinny Toy Guns, Regina Spektor, Hole, Belle and Sebastian, Guided by Voices, and too many others to continue.

REM,
U2,

- the singers have this "i want to save the world" attitude written in
their songs and performance and i think the right attitude would be
"i want to destroy the world". Taking the privilege of destroying the world would
make the people who really destroy it angry and saving the world- attitude really
isn´t anything else than politics and i personally hate music that wants to save the world.

I'm with Crobi-Wan ... also, I detest all "radio" pop music (Britney Spears, Justin Timerlake, etc) and 99% of rap/hip-hop.  Way too many bands to list all of my least favorites but here's my top 5 most hated bands:

1) Beach Boys
2) Nickelback
3) Hawthorne Heights
4) 'Lil John
5) Madonna

Usually, the most "similar" band to the Cure you get is The Smiths/Morrissey...  :lol: :?
I really don't see the connection here. Then Radiohead, The Clash (uh ???), Smashing Pumpkins... SOM/Bauhaus and other post punks/goth bands come long after these.  :-D

Well, it differs per each of The Cure's albums, but H.I.M., Depeche Mode, The Creatures, The Cranes, I Am a Ghost, David Bowie, Siouxsie, New Order,This Mortal Coil, The Damned, and VHS or Beta come up quite a bit.  Franz Ferdinand, The Smiths, The Rapture, and Def Leppard were all recommended when I selected 'Faith'.  :?

def leppard.... hmm, let's see:

...Women to the left, women to the right
There to entertain and take you thru the night
So grab a little heat and come along with me
'Cos your mama don't mind what your mama don't see
Anything goes!
(That's right)
(Come on)
Anything goes!
Ooh oh
I say Rock! Rock! till you drop
Rock! Rock! never stop
Rock! Rock! till you drop
I say Rock! Rock! to the top
Ridin' into danger, laughin' all the way
Fast, free and easy, livin' for today
Gotta lip service, get it while you can
Hot, sweat'n'nervous love on demand
Anything goes!
(Oh)
Anything goes!
(All night long)
I say Rock! Rock! till you drop
Come on Rock! Rock! never stop
You gotta Rock! Rock! till you drop
(Oh)
Rock! Rock! to the top
Oh yeah!
Let's shout!



and:

catch me if i fall....

oh yeah, it's already obvious - definitely very much alike!  8)

ciao

i hate/don't like:
beatles - the most overvalued group in history...only because they were the first they must be the best?
U2 - they finished with unforgettable fire, after this bono thinks to be god  :(
all the goth metal bands, like evanescence, or dream theater or lacuna coil...even if italian  :-D good for teenagers with black candles in their rooms!
i don't consider the mtv music, of course.
and i really hate from the bottom of my heart eros ramazzotti and antonello venditti  :rocker

but as someone said once: everybody in the world writes two good songs in his life.

I really don't like Bob Dylan! He can't sing, is f***ing ugly and bores me to death.
He has written some good songs, but they only sound good, when someone covers them.

These are several band/artist that i hate the most:

Hip-Hop Artist (they're sucks)
Linkin f*ck
Lost prophets
My Chemical What so ever

:evil: :evil: :evil:

Sorry guys, but Bauhaus isn't just some guy singing in a low voice.
I had to say something about this, they´re my favourite band after The Cure.  8)

I have to support Smitha, Bauhaus are Bauhaus  :smth023

but I guess not everyone has the same taste  :roll:

it can be so different and i think it's kind of interesting, the likes we share and the dislikes we disagree about.
:smth001

One artist I cannot stand... John Mayer!

Seems every time I turn on the TV he's there, acting like a fool, shaking his leg with some crazy look on his face, singing some lame ass song â€" followed by more acting like a fool. Ahhh!!! :smth096

ahahah, his was the laugh of the day, of the all week... :-D, sonic, don't know how you get it but you made me really laugh (... is f***ing ulgy... ahahahahah )

About the topic (an interesting one, with no doubts) I must say something also:
Respectable artists that I just can't stand I'd choose The Doors, Queen and Pearl Jam as the main ones. And that actual band, the saviours of the world...Hmm how they name themselves?... Usomething... well I don't remember their name but if you pick their last 3 records you'll see that they are playing the same song, after and after... too lazy, enormous and egocentric for my taste.

And yes, Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, The Smiths and The banshees are part of my history and from the music industry history, actually. Too good for me to be left over.

DEPECHE MODE and PLACEBO: they're both good bands but I find them unpleasant and I don't know why!
THE KILLERS: in my opinion they're just a momentary phenomenon and not " the heirs of u2", as someone says.. :smth011

Quote from: Sussex on February 15, 2007, 06:21:27
My Chemical What so ever

Oh yes, and all the other bands that belong to the whole 'emo' scene,

please go away, your whining is boring me to death, and your self obsessed attitude does my head in!  :?

Coldplay
Novelle whatever they're called
Good Charlotte
My Chemical Romance
Metallica


Utter pants, the lot of 'em!

i always makes me smile, to see all these little girls with all their "dark emo-ish"/"gothic metal" gear that they've bought from all these fancy mail order catalogues and these bloody expensive shops that are "especializing" on "gothic fashion" (hmmm...!). everything they have/they wear is brandnew and flashy, they read mags like 'orkus' to find more fancy mail order sites to order some more fancy gothic gear with their dad' credit card... and then they hang around at the metro stations in the "old fashioned gothic way" (because they read from somewhere that that's what some other people who called themselves 'goths' back in the beginnings of time, maybe even way back in the 80s...(whooaa!!) used to do, they used to hang wround the bus stations etc. or at least so the magazines used to write so it's got to be cool and it's got to make them very believable too...), and they are being all so gloomy - and also hmm, fashionable. hmm.  how very believable.
i mean it would almost be kind of cute... if it was cute - but it isn't.
and ok ok i know i sound like an old twat but i can't help it but smile, they are just so silly... and so damn boring and uninspirational. ha!  :twisted:

so should i add that i kind of hate my chemical romance, good charlotte, all those clones...
also all those gothic metal groups which finland unfortunately manages to produce in masses (sorry!!!)  :oops: :oops:

and it's not related but anyway, coldplay suck too, i agree.
:D

Hi Marika.
I have to be careful, coming from the old goff school of the 80's (yes, I was there, but not outside metro stations).
Got another one though.
Tokio Hotel.

believe it or not, although i never liked sisters/bauhaus etc. myself i used to belong to this 'hanging around the bus station' kind of old school too. i was pretty much there myself. and so when i look at these baby-ish emo-hosers fooling around there now, it just makes me shake me head... and hmm hehe i might have had to "tidy up" my own appearances a bit since the 80s (but not too much though! not too much... ;))... but i mean, even when observed purely esthetically and not minding what has happened to the music & the essence of it, it simply has lost all meaning and genuine individuality it once stood for.

by the way that muppet show was visiting helsinki some time ago, there was an autograph session at the local record store one day. of course i was totally unawares of all that and happened to be passing by - and i was almost trampled to death by all these 13-year olds in their latest H&M gear - damn! i should sue them all...!

since you love the tokios, i recommend you (DON'T) try finnish bands like negative, bloodpit etc. - silly as hell. :roll:

My Chemical What so ever

:evil: :evil: :evil:

i have to agree! my chemical romance have brilliantly made it to the top of my hate list recently. i never really thought about it because i guess i never really paid any attention to them earlier. but since i was forced to watch them perform live some time ago and.... oh christ! that SUCKED !!
they must be the most useless band i've ever seen. just completely useless. just everything about them sucked!:
totally uninteresting musically, completely mediocre meaningless songwriting with nothing individual or original in it at all, nothing at all in there. also, completely awful and totally pretentious stage performance/behavior... i just hate these bands who think they really really ROCK and are so cool up there... i bet they spend hours everyday just staring at themselves in the freaking mirror, admiring their own amazing-ness. hey concentrate on the bloody music and try to write at least somewhat decent songs first! (which i'm sure you can't  do... so ok who needs you anyway???)

they guitarist thought it was totally cool to throw himself lying down on the stage every now and then and meaninglessly squirm and twitch there, i don't know if he was even playing anything - hey sorry but nothing cool and "rock" in it, it just looked like he was having some kind of seizures or something.
and what a totally idiot lead singer they have! he was blurping some totally stupid things out of his mouth every single time he got a chance. everyone's just having fun out there waiting for a somewhat BETTER band to come up and play for us and he's just going on like "don't be depressed, suicide is not an option..." -- hey wtf?? hey dude nobody's depressed out here - at least so far. perhaps we will be soon if you don't stop that... really, no wonder lots of people around me started to shout "booo hoooo i'm depressed!!!". hey what a clown.  :smth011
and what a bunch of losers they are!

(ok sorry for too many words like "shit" in this post, but i just can't fibelieve how bad they were, considering all the idiotic hype that's been going on about them. because they suck ! i can NOT understand what's so magically amazing about that group of pretentious emo retards...!)

:evil: :evil: :evil:

I agree, 'Emo' is probably one of the most pretentious, fake and organised things anyone could be, coupled with the fact that these people are so self-obsessed they'd rather sit at home all day whining about how depressed they are, yet managing to dedicate their lives to putting a million pictures of themselves in just the one 'myspace pose' on their myspace page.....
Each to their own i guess.... but if you want to be sucked into marketing ploys by men in suits, then be my guest...

And after watching Glastonbury on the tv, a few more bands i now dislike even more

The Kooks...... speaks for itself...... :smth078

Editors.... technically i should like this band, they have a certain sound which i like in other groups, but theres something about the music which just destroys it for me, its just sooooooo boring, like theyve ripped off Interpol and mixed it with Coldplay topped off as a bad Joy Division covers band..... :smth015

THE THING IS - I DONT BOTHER WITH 99.9 % OF NEW MUSIC SCENE... I DONT CARE FOR 99.99% STUFF RECORDED AFTER 1996 OR SO...

BUT I REALLY DONT LIKE :

1) NIRVANA (AND PRETTY MUCH ALL GRUNGE BANDS)
2) RADIOHEAD (HOW DID THIS BECOME SO RELEVANT I'LL NEVER KNOW)

THESE ARE THE TWO THAT I THOUGHT OF...

Editors.... technically i should like this band, they have a certain sound which i like in other groups, but theres something about the music which just destroys it for me, its just sooooooo boring, like theyve ripped off Interpol and mixed it with Coldplay topped off as a bad Joy Division covers band..... :smth015

i need to complain some more...
i don't watch much tv for various reasons but last night i thought of watching some, expecting to find something nice and comfortably/boringly entertaining.... and what do i see when i switch in on?
a special MCR night with some special live performance from philadelphia - AAARRRGGGH !  :evil: :evil: :evil:
christ that was so bad. :(
i don't think i'll get an urge to watch any tv for quite some time now.
(or maybe that's just a good thing... so i should actually thank them then? ppffff!)


editors - i agree. something totally boring and uninspirational about them. i never thought about it that closely but that interpol/coldplay/joy division mix is pretty much what's wrong with it, nicely put... 

to reply to what a few people have said...

Blood Sugar Sex Magic and Stadium Arcadium are the TWO RHCP albums to own.  Mother's Milk has some excellent cuts, too.  Having seen them twice I can agree that they aren't always the best live.  The first show I saw was okay, but Anthony's vocals were pretty shitty.  The second show was fantastic!  Excellent sound, John and Flea couldn't have sounded better.  Anthony's vocals were on and you could hear John's vocals (something that doesn't always happen).

i like RHCP, but personally their newer stuff has put me off
i agree with the Blood Sugar Sex Magic though... and also i have a weakness for some of their childish early 'punk funk' stuff

i like the smiths, but not morrissey
Lady, i never got into Depeche Mode either
and im also part of the 'i like bauhaus' camp.

its funny with emo music, because its a genre almost everybody seems to hate with a passion (or at least claim to) but is still so bloody popular - annoys me also as some less enlightened people start to think that that is what alternative/punk music sounds like *shudders*

oh and im not a fan of:
U2, Coldplay, Radiohead, The Eagles, Nickleback (and all like them), a lot more but most have been said already...

I just looked up emo on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo_(slang)

All that being said, the emo (or at least what is described as the emo) movement is utter toilet.
Fancy a laugh? (or maybe might make some of you cry(http://www.myheartland.co.uk/images/smiles/icon_whistlehalo.gif)

I was at the lake near to where I live last weekend & there was a guitar marathon going on to get in the guiness book of records.
On stage there was a bunch of kids with their Ramones tee-shirts on playing bad covers of emo standards. Tragic  :evil:
Honestly, they wouldn't know the Ramones if the whole band fell on them.

HA! in the second picture... emo pick up lines
but too tiny to read - now how will i be able to hit on some A-grade emo studs like them?

Quote from: themurderchair on July 05, 2007, 16:06:11
A-grade emo studs

hey now that's a contradiction in terms. :lol:



i've recently realized that i utterly hate bands like e.g. wilco who have made a career out of trying to sound like beatles - or any other band who thinks their existence is somehow justified and their output somehow instantly interesting simply because they are mimicking some well-established artist. it annoys me in a similar way as gospel rock (which i hate): because all the people i've ever met people who either make or listen to gospel rock always (and i mean always) defend it by saying "yeah but it's good because it has got such a great message!" - even a child knows that that's utterly crap excuse.
these copy-cats/impostors like wilco are similarly idiotic, their whole concept and existence is totally pointless. what utter clowns.

when i think of them i actually feel almost bad that i was bashing sisters of mercy and bauhaus.  :?

a special MCR night with some special live performance from philadelphia - AAARRRGGGH !  :evil: :evil: :evil:

Hey...watch the Philly bashing, will ya?  There are many shit bands that play here...like tonight at the Mann Music Center in Philly- George Thorogood and the Detroyers with special guest Bryan Adams- but that doesn't mean the city as bad!

Bands I hate....

Coldplay, etc (Three Doors Down, Nickelback, etc)
Grateful Dead/Other Ones/Ratdog/The Dead
MCR, Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte or any other pop punk wanna-be's


See, I grew up in the Philly/NJ punk scene.  I saw my first concert at age 12- Agnostic Front at City Gardens in Trenton.  And I got my ass kicked by a bunch of skins because I dared to go into "their" pit.  I saw the original Misfits.  Minor Threat.  GBH, The Exploited, Ramones, etc.

So to see these posers trying to act and dress punk without even knowing what the scene used to be really pisses me off.  All the kids running around with a black X on their hands with no clue what that used to stand for or even where it originated from.  Soccer kids with mohawks thinking they are bad ass.  Well shithead.... at age 16 I had a 13" mohawk.  And mine was real!

At the same time, I was into bands like The Cure, Joy Division/New order, Siouxsie, and Echo.  The natural punk progression led me into the metal/punk hybrid that used to be called thrash but is now referred to as hardcore- bands like Madball and Hatebreed.  I am also into bands like Down, Pantera, Sepultura....some of the bands japanesebaby hates!

Bands like Oasis and U2 aswell.........make me think... 'im going to stop playing who shall i kill first in my head and just go with what feels natural, starting with me....... then its them"  :smth100


And yes even children know this, my 9 year old sister can determine whats manufactured rubbish and what actually has tune to it.... hence the reason she now likes The Cure.  :-D

I'm tired of hearing about KORN

I'm tired of faux goth bands like MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

I'm tired of those "emo" bands like FALLOUT BOY, who focus on bronze over music...

I'm tired of stupid slutty R&B girls like FERGIE, NELLY FURTADO, and more...

I'm tired of every kid who wants to become a rock star citing AC/DC and LED ZEPPLIN as their favorite rock bands...

I'm tired of more ****-ish bands like PUSSYCAT DOLLS

I'm tired of Disney Channel musicians and their squeaky-clean perfect lives...

I hate Morrissey, I hate Boy George, I hate Wham, I am tired of people referring to them when talking about the 80s and totally overlooking The Cure.

I'm sick and tired of these new "indie" bands who try to be unique but end up sounding just like JET from a few years back...

Can't kids listen to anything besides Young Joc, Chamillionare, Jay-Z, Twista, and all that shit?

RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS...yeah, you heard me, I'm tired of them. They are grungy, creepy, stoned, and their music is annoying.

METAL or DEATHROCK bands whose music is at the highest tempo possible and you can't even understand what the singer is saying! Everybody just has to love DISTURBED nowadays...ugh!

CREED, PEARL JAM, and other bands that sing in low, almost cowboyish voices. I hate that. The Brits rule the rock scene...I hate these skeezbags, with their dirty clothes singing in their gravely voices...

JOHNNY CASH. You want to throw stones? Yes, I am tired of hearing about him. He has become this symbol, and people are just paying attention to him NOW because his image and symbolism has become popular via the media coverage of his death and the film "WALK THE LINE". In reality, he's just another lame country singer. I don't care how dead he is, he's just not as great as everyone says he is. Sorry.

WILLY NELSON, BOB DYLAN, and all those other old geisers singing about peace and the US of A. Booooooring! Sing about something else already, get an electric guitar once and a while, get a drummer, get a keyboardist, get a better singer! I don't care how old you are, it doesn't make you any better! And I apologize for my lack of respect, but how many times must I hear a Bob Dylan song blasting from some parent's radio? I'm tired of it!

I almost agree 100% with you except Johnny Cash, grew up listening to him so he has a place in my heart and RHCP...they are like an ear worm..they just grow on you plus I really like their old stuff esp. breaking the girl... :smth049 that song
I hate metallica...way over rated. :evil:
I hate Good Charlette, oasis...just rubbish :evil:
I hate new country...yuck
I am of the Bauhaus camp, and I love Peter Murphy and Love and Rockets. I also love the Smiths, I canna help it but songs like there is a light that never goes out makes me smile. :-D
I love Coldplay...I really do. :smth020
John Mayer is Way terrible and sucky
I really could go on...all night...but won't

as much as i hate the smiths/morrissey from the bottom of my heart, i have to agree that "there is a light that never goes out" is one exception to the rule. it's simply a great song in every way (hey it really must be because even morrissey doesn't manage to ruin it! ha!). actually, if i had to name three best lovesongs ever written i'd have to sit down and really think about the other two but this one would be a sure choice.

also agree about RHCP - "ear worms" indeed. i used to dislike then for the longest time, but they just somehow grew on me. "other side" was the song that started the slow change. it used to be played a lot on the radio around the time it came out and it just didn't leave me alone until i gave up and sat down and gave them a good listen and a fair chance. since then, i've more or less been a fan. i still don't like everything they've done but they are superb at their best, also as a live combo. then again, on a bad day they seem to suck live. one of those bands that don't have middle ground there, i suppose.

Please, no flaming. I'm not being mean, so a nasty response is not in order...I'm just shocked! *Gasp!*  :eek:

OK lets go..... theres just so many i hate ~
Chemical Romance and hate the way the lead singer looks- just looks like a pose to me.
Coldplay, Oasis and boring bands. Bob Dylan, and country bands.

Hate alot of girl 'cheerleading sounding' singers like   April  Lavertry  :evil:  , qwen S, Britney makes me sick, Fergie sounds crap aswell.
Hate the **** chick bands aswell-like pussycatdolls
-But enjoy laughing at them, I just think of it like watching a strip show- so its not so bad- but hate their music.- if you'd call it that.

Also hate Placebo~ sounds like chipmunks to me, That voice, ahhh. Maybe just one song, but to put up with a whole CD makes my
ears ring- in a very unpleasant way.     :twisted:  ~But i do like the way he looks

i'd surely agree with most of those above. yet i do have hard time trying to see something as pussycat dolls as "respectable artists" - ha!
i think everyone hates these boy/girl groups because they are just a joke.

but kudos to anyone who'll bash morrissey  :smth038

:lol:


by the way, noticing that several people have lately mentioned avril lavigne (who's pure crap all right of course).
that rather recent video from her, that "your girlfriend" (or something like it): i think it's probably one of the crappiest videos ever. :smth100
besides, like one friend of mine pointed out, the "stoyline" is idiotic and questionable because  because it actually almost urges to bullying. ok i guess it's supposed to be taken as being some kind of self irony, as a joke but it's too bad to be a joke of any kind.
besides, it's self evident that an artist as shallow and crappy as avril l. couldn't ever be self-ironic anyway! they are just too dumb and empty from the start.

I haven't listen to one song by him. And, I don't care to.

Here's Morrissey next to Robert Smith, and here's why I don't like him and why I like Robert:

(http://blog.peta.org/archives/Morrissey_Meat_Is_Murder.jpg)
Reason 1: THAT! Come on, "MEAT IS MURDER"...what a publicity stunt! Everyone thinks they're so kind-hearted and spiritual for believing in PETA, but in reality...PETA is hypocritical and contains many flaws...
Reason 2: Look at that dorky-ass mop! Come on, that's like Vanilla Ice!
Reason 3: His singing voice is annoying and embarassing to listen to. It sounds like he tried to swallow a cat before going in and recording!!!
Reason 4: Robert doesn't like him. I like Robert. See how it works? ;)
Reason 5: He has this very gay quality about him like George Michael and Boy George that I think is sometimes a little too much...nothing against homosexuals at all! Don't get me wrong...
Reason 6: He goes by the name "Morrissey". I hate that. Same goes for Madonna. Get a full name and use it!
Reason 7: Is that really F-ing him in that picture? God, he looks bad nowadays!
Reason 8: Most importantly, he's not Robert Smith. And he has a band called, "The Smiths"

(http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1363/robertblinkxt7.gif)
Reason 1: He's got an awesome mop. I want that same hairdo...seriously.
Reason 2: He looks awesome. He's got the eyeliner, the lipstick, the eyes...great image.
Reason 3: I like his singing voice.
Reason 4: He hates Morrissey
Reason 5: He's part of the greatest band on earth!
Reason 6: He uses his full name.
Reason 7: His music is great, his lyrics poetic and beautiful.
Reason 8: He's gif-able. Just look at my animated gif I made of him winking!!! :smth023

I've seen a few pics of  Morrissey.

Good one! I hadn't thought of that! :lol:

reason 10: no stupid idiotic pelvis swinging on stage when performing live  :smth011

(let me say that i especially like your reason 4  - i mean both of them haha :smth045)

Yes hate Morrissey also, Justin Timberlake  :smth078   folk and country music,
and all the other pox n crappy stuff like girl bands, **** bands, boy bands
and everything else I mentioned earlier.

Agree with all of the above posts also. :twisted:

Travis (worst thing out of Scotland ever)
Blink 182
Moby (should never have murdered Temptation)
Scissor Sisters (They might not have used the girl's butt to get anywhere, but they sure used the guy's butt didn't they ;)?)
The Police (after regatta de blanc)
Sting (pompous @sshole)
Dido (booooooring)
The Beatles (worst band ever to walk the earth)
The Rolling Stones (they might write some good songs, but only other people can play them well)

:-D

The Police are awesome, but Sting's ridiculously dorky "foreign music" experimentation was so corny and uncool...wow, that was redundant!

Sting's solo career sucked, save "Fortress Around Your Heart", which I think is the second most beautiful song aside from "Happy The Man".

Yes, I too think The Beatles are overrated, and definately nowhere near as outstanding as The Cure, no matter how far back they went...

I like The Beatles, but I don't like most of their contemporaries, such as The Rolling Stones.

Bob Dylan's voice annoys me.

I think that U2 are pretentious.

And all of those interchangeable "emo" pop bands that aren't emo at all, such as My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco make me cringe. They are terrible!

Well, we all have our own opinion I suppose. Sting's solo stuff is utter crap as far as I'm concerned.
The Police were awesome. That's true. But just pause for a moment & consider De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da. Bollox mate :roll:
There were a couple of good tracks on GITM & just the 1 on Sychronicity.
Other than that (IMHO) a load of rubbish.
@siouxsie Yep, the Stones were shocking.
The Beatles are a classic example of kissing corporate ass until they were big enough to go & do what they wanted. However, what they wanted to do was also sh!te :roll:

Are the Rolling Stones Stilllllllllllll touring.... Dont you hate those musicians that promote  'the last'  tour,  and they have about 15 'last tours'
silly old farts,  :smth011    Mick should've said to someone, or paid a hitman, If i do this...... till iam 85 and kill the image i used to have
shoot me at 60 ok !!
Yep hate them too, hehehehehe

Yeah, just like John Farnham! Hurry up and retire already! Frankly, I don't think that the grave is going to stop Mick Jagger...

I have got some more:

Modern Talking :smth093
Scooter  :smth074
Nena  :smth011
Blink 182  :smth011
Blank & Jones  :smth011
Mariah Carey  :smth011


I think the Rolling Stones should go into retirement. They don't do something new i think.

hey respectable artists only please!  :lol:

:lol: And i thought the artists we don't like.

I've listed artists i don't like, i hope that wasn't wrong  :).
Okay, maybe you can respect some of them, but i think all these pop singers you can't.
Modern Talking were like a nightmare (they don't exist anymore) .




By the way, Thomas Anders, the man with the long brown hair, has now short hair.

Did I already mention U2?
Alright, we get it, Bono! YOU LIKE FREEDOM!

Geez, they're lame and overrated.

Geez, they're lame and overrated.

they used to be ok in the very early 80s, just like simple minds: simple minds were even better band of the two, up until around 'empires and dance'. then pretty soon they became even more embarrassing than U2... maybe that was the secret rule/code with the two of them: "the better you were, the more you took nosedive"?
anyway about U2, i think 'war' is still a pretty decent album. anyway, after that - well ok everyone knows what came after that...

i actually did like 'achtung baby' at the time when it came out. the most embarrassing phase of their career was (and imo still is) the "america-this america-that we love elvis we love bb king gospel music rules" rattle and hum period which is simply unbelievably bad especially when you think of it from today's perspective. also bad at its time too. anyway, compared to that, 'achtung baby' was a move towards better in several ways. i did like a lot of it musically and i also did like the artwork/design. yet it all got out of hands pretty soon as they went on tour and the tv screens just got bigger and bigger. so it all degenerated too. i haven't listened to 'achtung baby' for a really long time and somehow i don't even want to. for some reason i think i want to keep a mental image of it being rather decent album after all, and i know if i'd put it on today i'd pretty much hate it. so, let sleeping dogs (all kinds of them) lie i guess.

anyway, i've watched a few live gigs on dvd from their every tour since, just out of curiosity. even if i didn't like them anymore, i wanted to keep myself updated - maybe i wanted to confirm myself that they were still as bad as last year or something like it. anyway, it's been tedious to watch and i think there's little or no hope that they'd ever get any better anymore. and i think today they are already officially slipping towards embarrassing:
by the way, some time ago when i first saw this pic, it just made me laugh completely hysterically:

(http://www.estrelladigital.es/070727/fotos%5CCul%5C27pareja.jpg)

Yeah...I rented "OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST" DVD and they played "I will follow" and they were really good...it was the early 80s though.

So to be fair, their early stuff is good, but the late 80s to now sucked.

Have some more.
Randy Newman~ I can't understand anything he's sinnging.
Nirvana
Celine Dion

Christina Aguilera.

Definately HOT!...Definately would  'tap that' in a second...but definately wouldn't  'listen to her albums' in a million years... :eek: lol

But PLEASE, Christina, feel free to sing naked on my TV!!! I'll have the mute button ready!  :lol:

Ahhh...I needed to get that out.

so..I absolutely hate Rammstein. Any kind of rap, and country. Eh, it just bugs me so much. Heavy metal..except for System Of A Down and Deadsy. 98% of emo music, I listen to a few bands that have the label emo, but I don't really have a problem admitting I like them.

I don't like Rammstein either.

Here are more i don't like:

Jennifer Lopez
all Emo bands
Simple Minds (sorry if someone here likes them, i used to like them, but i has changed)
Scorpions (a German Heavy Metal band)
HIM 
Bloodhound Gang   

What exactly is an emo band? I never got that, because some people are considered emo, but they don't consider themselves emo...other people consider one band emo, while others say they aren't...

WHAT IS EMO???

Heh..I don't really know, I don't really like the emo label because it is so overused, for anyone who wears dark makeup, tight pants, I don't know. It's kind of silly what people consider emo. My Chemical Romance is emo, no doubt in my mind they are the epitome of emo.

Edit: I listen to Bauhaus, even though I don't really classify them as a goth band. I adore them. I saw them last year. I , also, listen to Beseech. But,that's it, as far as goth music with me.

Is that what's considered goth nowadays? I consider "true" goth music to be the early stuff...the 80s post-punk stuff...

rammstein as death metal? hey certainly not! you must be thinking of something like morbid angel there.
i hate labeling things too but sometimes it does have it's place. just looking at the sub-genres of death metal and rammstein doesn't fit this at all:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_metal

Rammstein is definitely not death metal.

I think industrial-electronica metal would be more suitable, if I dared to name a genre.

Ah yes, sorry about that. I am mistaken.

They often get thrown in the nu metal genre along with the likes of Korn, Limp Biscuit, Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, Deftones, Linkin Park, and System of a Down.

i guess that must be an american thing (just like nu metal is too). i've never ever heard anyone calling them nu metal around here. miscellaneous terms like industrial/electronic/dark wave metal i've heard though.


(rage against the machine is called nu metal in the US? that's a bit strange to me, really! i wouldn't have guessed how they could be thrown together with something as silly as korn/slipknot!)

Let me be clear here, I don't group Rage together with Korn, though some do.  Must be the rock/rap thing.  The media always has to categorize bands in these stupid new/nu? genres.  There's just so many out there, from alt. country to emo, screamo to brit pop, shoegaze to desert surf, math rock to dream pop, and so on.  There are probably well over a thousand of these sub-genres.  I find it all rather confusing and silly to be quite honest.           

f course i didn't mean to imply that you did those categorizations yourself. i've just noticed before that sometimes things get categorized somewhat differently in the US than in europe, so that's what i was thinking. for instance, i've noticed a few times that 'gothic metal' seems to mean somewhat different genre in the US as it does around here. probably because the popular bands filed under that term here are not at all that popular in the US, and the other way round.
and of course all this just adds to the general confusion about all these millions of sub-genres out there...

No, Rammstein isn't a Nazi Band at all. If they were i think the government would outlow them.
But e.g Böse Onkelz they have a bad will, because they are considered to be Nazis.
Rammsteins music is a mix of Heard Rock, Metal and Industrial Rock, that what i've read on Wikipedia.
I've encapsulate it.
But in the end i can't stand both bands!!! And i hate Nazis!!! :smth076

Yeah, I got into a horrible fight at Nightmareonelmstreetfilms.com and it seems to have healed itself over time...Except in that case it was personal; in this case it's Rammstein! :roll:

Hang in there! :)

a few more to the list..
Blink 182
Green Day
Muse
boy bands  (example:Back Street Boys)

Well, I really can't stand that hiphop-rap-gangsta--blingbling stuff bands. Don't know their names, but soo disinterested, I gotta switch off. Like P.Diddy.. 50cent..???  :smth100

Can't stand Kasey Chambers.. tell me this..why does an Australian singer SING like she is an American country singer??   :shock:

there are more I'm sure.. I'll get back on this..  :smth023

There are many I just don't like, but two "artists" that spring to mind are; Celine Dion (shudder) and Deltra Goodrem. Now, I know the latter has beaten a terrible cancer, gone to hell and back, and for this, I applaud her tenacity. BUT, I cringe when I see her on T.V. ( she's always on Australian tv at the moment). She appears....manufactured somehow. I, personally, don't like all the flouncy girly giggly image she has. Just seems so made up....

WHOA there!!! I just looked at the pic of "Rammstein". Goodness.. they're um.. different aren't they? Never heard of them myself, but hey, that means nothing! Plus all the talk of screamo, shoe gaze, desert surf etc., makes me really feel my age... hehe...I have absolutley NO idea what these are.. Maybe I have just lead a sheltered life!! :roll:

Kate Nash! How can people say she is good when she sings about mouthwash and drinking cups of tea?! Shes awful bleh!
Also Lily Allen -  chavs are taking over britain!
Jack penate - i think thats how you spell his name, yuk! even though tim pope made some of his videos.
I don't think these people are classed as artists but i really don't like them

These hoser poser losers that come from American Idol and sing the wimpiest most whitebread songs ever, no meaning or heart, all about happiness, parties, and love. Where's the storytelling?

Where's the heartbreat and emotion? Where's the music? Coming from a band that backed up Nsync, probably. Crap music, taking over the mainstream alongside country and rap (AKA crap) :lol:

Ugh, I hate these popstars....

gotta say... the seasons they've held here.. only one idol i went and bought 2nd CD.. Damien Leith.. Irish boy...  when he sang.. I'd cry.. Not to stop !! (like the last season just finished.. which I didn't even watch!!) He has a voice of an angel. Could be my liking of classical music and operas.. ?
I'm definately NOT into Idol shows or the likes... I'd rather torture myself  :roll: :smth077 :smth068 :smth063 :smth064 :smth062 :smth015

Whilst I am not a fan of "pop" music; even as a teenager (in days of old when knights were bold) my "best" friend would be bopping along to the likes of Johnny Farnham  :shock:  and my tastes were David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, T-Rex- [how I cried when Marc Bolan died!!] etc etc.. I do enjoy the Aussie Idol series... I so enjoy watching the young ones, putting themselves out there, trying to realise their dreams. Yes, they are made to sing covers most of the time,and that can really make you cringe, but when they get the chance to sing their own compositions, or play their favourite instrument, they shine. The wannabes and the figjams soon get expelled by the general public, and as I watch, week by week, I see them grow in confidence, in style and that sparkle in their eyes is magic. The latest winner here, Natalie, has a powerful,wonderful voice, and composes her own songs. I just hope they don't turn her into a pop princess, that would be such a shame, such a waste. I agree about Damien Leith, what a beautiful, haunting voice he has! Hopefully, Natalie will be able to express herself, and realise that life-long dream she has had. I just love watching them, and I hope their dreams come true...

some time ago i just tried for about a hundredth time or os to get into REM (i assure you, i've really tried!). but let's face it, i don't understand what's so great and special about them.
not that i absolutely hate them or anything, i just find them thoroughly... boring and uninspiring (for me). they always leave me completely cold, both intellectually and emotionally.

(just my opinion. please no battling over it... (http://planetsmilies.net/shy-smiley-9438.gif))



*edit: there is actually one song by them which i seriously cannot stand: "everybody hurts". i'd say that's seriously one of the most annoying songs out there, ever, if i was asked to choose).

Have you ever listened to this?

http://mx.youtube.com/watch?v=egs29QJq_Q8#18

It's from "Murmur", their first album.

Or this?

http://mx.youtube.com/watch?v=2WkOsIXXN-E#18

It's from "Out of Time".

Anyway, there's nothing wrong if you don't like them. Any group will be an acquired taste of some sort, one way or the other. I'll be the first to admit that it's been a long time since I've wanted to listen to any of their albums... But I still consider most of their stuff until "Out of Time" to be either good or very good.

Well this is kinda silly cause what one doesn´t like one just avoid. But still I can´t keep away from this thread.

Of the so called "respectable artists" I don´t care much for Bruce Springsteen. I do like the album "The Ghost of Tom Joad" (which is free from Mr Clemons saxophone) but otherwise I just find his music boring. He seems to be a great artist though and seems to care a lot for his fans.

I also find it very much hard work to listen to The Clash. I´d really tried to like this band cause I think that Mr Strummer seems to have a great passion for his music and I like to see interviews with the members of the band. They all seem so keen and devoted to what they do/did. But I just don´t like it the wat it came out.

And as was said above by japanesebaby I also have an issue with REM. Mr Yorke has a great voice but the music is just way to pretentious for my taste.

Among the new bands I really don´t understand the hype around Glasvegas. I red somewhere in a Swedish newspaper (and then it´s most likely quoted from an american or brittish magazine) that this band is the saviour of modern rock. It couldn´t be more wrong. They just sounds dull and grey to me and further on they sound a lot like a Swedish band called Broder Daniel which were the greyest of the grey even though they would like to think of themselves as if they were depressively deep and suicidal black.

Forgive my moaning.

I think She Wants Revenge are terrible, and post-Turn On The Bright Lights era Interpol is pretty dull, I'd say, musically speaking.  Live, Interpol have always been boring.

hey no problem, no need to be sorry about anything! i knew it was probably just a confusion, just asked to be sure. 

about radiohead: i used to have problems with radiohead in the (mid) '90s - early 2000's, from around time that 'OK computer' had come out and everyone seemed to be talking about it. how it (and other radiohead albums) always was very high on all kinds of "greatest albums of all time". i tried to listen to it many times but couldn't really get into it. then i happened to listen to some live recordings (from 1997 i think) and suddenly that sort of made it accessible to me, even the studio albums.
perhaps i still don't call myself a fan but i do find myself listening to them from time to time. and would really like to catch them live someday.

Funny, because I felt the same way about Radiohead for years.  It wasn't until I heard some live stuff that convinced me I should give them a fair shake.  Finally saw them live this summer and glad I did.   :rocker  http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=211196

coldplay (sorry, sounds like hardcore elevator music to me)
nirvana (i know, i know, just never got into them)
the killers (do i really need to explain this?)
U2 (way too trendy, and it's not cool when your grama owns joshua tree)
joy division (his voice bothers me)
korn (it was literally hate at first listen)
sublime (no explanation for this, i just don't)

not a fan of most newer bands, oh and definitely no rap (can't spell crap without rap)   :smth023

check this out --> http://curefans.com/index.php/topic,3230.0.html

sorry about that  :(

hey no need to be sorry. instead, thanks for your input! so let's just merge these two topics.
i think it's an interesting subject because just like we're kind of defined by what we do like, we're also defined by what we don't like.
and there are always surprises here and there.

jbud1980 question is more general because it does not say we should list *only* the "respectable" artist we don't like.

we should merge this topic with jb's (jb already did) with the subject "Bands/Groups that you dislike", or smthg like that.

Anyway, these are the artists which never called my attention and not only for their music...

-Joy Division - Hate Ian's voice
-NIN - Same as before
-Morrissey - Antipatic, with this "I am a star" thing, gives me the impression he's too arrogant
-Oasis - Antipatic, the leader singer is an arsehole (just listen his comments about INXS or the Creation record groups)
-Placebo - I don't know if they even deserve to be in this list or together with Eminem or others :P

Yeah Morrissey is really a broken fence in a yard of annoyance. It´s a bit hard to get hold of since I really like the Smiths.

david, "respectable artists only" was not in the original name of this topic. if you go back to the beginning of this thread you can find that i only added "respectable artists only" because someone (guess who?  :lol:) listed obvious things like shakira etc.

--> http://curefans.com/index.php/topic,3230.msg19848.html#msg19848

of course everyone with a pair of ears dislikes that kind of "music". so. that's why i added the "respectable" part, to save people from listing all the obvious crap "artists". it's more interesting to talk about what "real" groups we don't like (and why).
so if you don't like the topic, i originally fixed the name for you...

say no more.
by the way morrissey's going to play here in june and i've noticed that i'm having a weird battle with myself, whether to go or not to go. i'd be sort of tempted to see him live (just to be sure what it's like live, music wise) but at the same time i know i seriously can't stand the sight of him. morrissey waving his hips and a bunch of gladioli are one of my all-time pet hate TOTP memories. 
perhaps i'll go but end up deciding to wear a blind-fold all through the gig?

-Joy Division - Hate Ian's voice

regardless of whether or not people like his voice (which is a matter of taste), before people slag him off i'd say it would be worth observing how joy division as a band "used" the low tone of his voice: a trademark JD sound often involves peter hook playing bass in really high register - actually it's sometimes really surprisingly high, when you really start paying attention to it. but the reason the band still sounds very balanced is because there's ian's voice down there, in the lower register.
it's a really great arrangemental idea, hook giving some room for ian (and the other way round): they all find their own "space", without interfering/messing up each others lines/notes. i find it really great.

i think i heard the remaining members talking about this in some rather recent interview - perhaps in that JD documentary movie.
it's probably been noted elsewhere too. anyway, i think it's worth observing because it's a really cool thing.

Yeah do that. But that will probably impress the ones that likes Morrissey.

I agreed and I think that on some of the older songs with Warsaw he sometimes sounds a bit like Lou Reed.

interesting, i never thought of that before. i think i need to have a listen.

It might best be detected in Failures even though that whole song reminds of V.U.

Edit: I searched my Warzaw and JD files and found that there is a little bit Lou Reed even in the Arrow studio versions of Shadowplay and Drawback from 1978.

Hm...
U2 - some songs I really liked (a few of them) but I find this band boring as hell. Don't ask me why - I don't know!
Interpol - a very bad copy of Joy Division to me. Sorry. Love Editors, though.

And I absolutely hate rap, hip-hop and r'n'b =(

i actually refrained from viewing this post because i was embarrassed about my stupid mistake.

getting excited about coachella!!!

still haven't had time to check those, sorry. anyway, thanks for the suggestions.
(but i have to confess that i never was a lou reed/velvet underground fan so perhaps it's because you got me a bit afraid! ;))

actually i never really understood the constant comparisons between interpol and joy division. i'bve always wondered if i am the only one who thinks they sound very different(?).

but in general, i was an interpol fan until i saw them live last year (= one of the live experience/live music disappointments of the decade to me, that gig). unfortunately that pretty much ruined it for me, now i can't find anything that special about them anymore. :/
i still consider 'antics' a pretty decent album but i just never listen to it anymore, nevertheless.

I'd say it's a vocal thing.

you mean they've been compared with each other because of vocal similarities or differencies? not sure which one you were referring to.
anyway, i'd say it's more than a vocal thing. even if you remove the vocals, i don't hear that much similarities there. even the overall atmosphere is very different: joy division can swim in deep waters whereas interpol is wading knee-deep at their best (and it seems to me like they are perfectly comfortable there, not even wanting to wade any further). interpol can be melancholic and they do that well, i admit that. they have their own style of being melacholic.  but they never reach the depths beyond it.

in general, i think interpol's main "problem" is that their leading man completely lacks charisma. like a friend once said, paul banks seems to have "as much charisma as a tennis ball". have to agree with that.

:shock: Really? I love his voice, it looks like he's singing from out his grave now. I really love that sound!

Television
The Dead Milkmen
and I listen to some old school rap.

Quote from: dsanchez on January 12, 2007, 18:39:24Personally I do HATE "Reggaeton" and all that shitty music related. This includes, but it's not limited to Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, etc. :smth078

:smth045 Totally agree "reggaeton" :smth078 the worst music ever... in fact that "thing" doesn't deserve to be called music  :smth044

u2- i can't stand bono.
redhotchillipepper- i don't even know if it is well written. i don't know why but i feel very unconfortable when i listen to their music. i dislike a lot.
Korn- i just dont like it
The Killers- lol..
faith no more- their music is quite boring
simple mind- never got interested.it makes me bored


and i think those are respectable for the 13 year old teenagers:

My chemical romance- it makes me puke
Panic at the disco- it makes me puke
fall out boy- it makes me puke
lady gaga- i dont know wtf is her music, if it can even be called music
katty perry- LOL

i got more artists i dislike but those were the ones who came to my mind.

Bob Marley - I respect him, call him a legend if you like, but I can't stand his music or other reggae junk.

Oasis - A C-grade version of all the other classic REAL bands they ripped off.
