Amstel Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 For every good song, you get thousands of bad ones. I can't stand the song Ballroom Blitz - YUCK I HATE all songs by Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Poison, Judas Preist, Kiss, Guns n Roses, and every song made by whatever hairband that's out there! Free Bird Love In An Elevator Radar Love There are many, many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amstel Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 I can't understand why you don't like Free Bird. I've never liked that song. I'm really not a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Love In An Elevator Radar Love There are many, many more. A good song is a good song... whether it's by a Hair band or an R and B act or a Punk band.. I'm not a Poison fan at all. But, if heard a song by them that was good. I would admit I like it. If I don't like it... I'll switch the station.. If it's my wife's turn picking the station and I have to sit through Niki Minaj or Justin Timberlake .. I try to grin and bear it.. But the problem with these (her) stations is that their playlists are about 6 songs.. That's when I go crazy. When the same annoying song is on 45 minutes after the last time I suffered through it.

magerogue Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Everything that plays on the radio nowadays is bellow subpar. I occasionally find something good but it's normally from the 60's or 70s... I guess music started going downhill right after Lennon died. It's rare for me to listen to something done after 1980, and the bands I listen to past that year are normally Guns N Roses, Nirvana... And I don't even like Nirvana that much. Oh, and I LOATHE Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took us until the 2nd post to get to Justin Bieber. He is just music for prepubescent teens, every generation has its Bieber or similar not sure why he's the anti-christ. I've never been moved to the point of wanting to vacate my stomach contents on hearing a song, more likely that I'll want to bash my head against a wall by something so mind-numbingly asinine that other people are enjoying; usually at times when I've been at work and have no control over the radio station. There was a point in time when I had to listen to "Someone Like you" by Adele at work every 15 minutes then I would get home and my neighbour would play it over, and over...and while that song isn't mind-numbingly asinine I don't want to hear it again, ever The 90's had some awful songs that make me want to rip my ears off, which people who subscribe to the "music is shit now, everything was better years ago" brigade like to forget. Obviously everything by the Spice Girls and things like this...makes Bieber sound like Mozart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslgarlic Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 It depends on the day and my mood at the time , some songs you like straight away fade on repeat listens and visa-versa ............as i have grown older i appreciate other people have musical tastes and mines become more varied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagesbow Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Bon Jovi is the most overated band on the planet... BARF Who overrates them? certainly not the critics. They were popular with the "ladies" and we all know why - the keyboard player was a studmuffin, obviously. And ballads, lots of ballads.... Talking or overrated Bob Dylan - seemingly EVERYONE in music of a certain vintage is influenced by him and sings his praises on a regular basis. I don't throw up when I hear him, but I certainly mute him whenever I watch the Big Lebowski and his nasal pontifications start up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeydrip79 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Take The Money and Run-Steve Miller Band; Margaritaville-Jimmy Buffett; Money For Nothing-Dire Straits; anything by Nicki Minaj (I hate most crap on the radio today but every time I hear her voice, I want to punch someone); anything nu metal or that screamo/emo junk; Simple Man cover song performed by Shinedown (hear someone butcher a great song; painful); most 80's pop like Madonna, the Go Go's, Wham; anything by Celine Dion; 50's doo wop music performed by boring white guys (I often wonder why there weren't more suicides in the 50's when I hear that stuff). That about covers it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although actually Joni Mitchell came out recently and said that he was not musically very gifted, not a great guitar player and he sings like an old hillbilly.

Pagesbow Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I was never a Dylan fan, especially the song Lay Lady Lay....yuck.... Not so much into songs from the Greatful Dead either.. I guess he's an acquired taste like very strong cheese, perhaps? some of his songs are ok if they're sung by someone else. I know what you mean about Lay Lady Lay, his vocal delivery sounds like he's holding his nose before he jumps into a river. The only song I like by Dylan (with him actually "singing") is Girl From the North Country and, to a lesser extent ,Shelter From The Storm, but in the latter song he just goes on and on for six minutes with hundreds of verses. If you want to do that write a book or at least make it musically interesting, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagesbow Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 ... But he's a lyrical genius. Yup, so they say over and over again...I guess with a voice like that you'd have to be singing something other than Louie Louie. Personally, I like to listen to a song rather than read the lyrics and gush over their brilliance. Dylan is dirge and lyrics as opposed to music and lyrics. But each to their own, I mean I love Tom Petty and Neil Young and they are obviously fans of Dylan and influenced by him - so what do I know. I just know he's not my bag.

I prefer Tom Petty or Neil Young to Dylan, but he without a doubt influenced them. Yeah, but they have to be really bad for it to spoil my enjoyment of a song (i.e moon, spoon, june rhyming lyrics) and even then if the tune is killer you can live with it. In an ideal world, sure, one would like a well thought out lyric AND a good tune. As for respecting Dylan; he seems to be afforded more than his fair share of that - he's always been a music journalist favourite. He hardly seems like an endearing bloke but maybe that's part of his "charm" Dylan was hipster before the term was invented. It's cool to say you like him and that you appreciate his really deep lyrical musings on life. And if you don't get it you're a philistine. But how many people actually like him outside of the self-ordained cognoscenti, hipsters and music journalists? his reputation far exceeds his popularity with the general public.

Strider Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Who overrates them? Charles J. White. By the way, even though I count myself a Bob Dylan fan(mainly his early albums up to 1975's "Blood On the Tracks"), I find myself agreeing with your take on Dylan in your post. Too many times Dylan is the knee-jerk response by musicians trying to seem erudite and hip. What's next, Ke$ha saying Dylan is an influence? And his voice is like rubbing sandpaper over my heart. I refuse to shell out any more money to hear him ruin his songbook with his froggy croakings. His once great band is mailing it in these days, too.
