windy1 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Ok, there are tons of famous bands that are considered super groups or who are just generally liked by millions. I have to admit to disliking several of these bands, and I think others do too. Maybe you like particular songs, but not the band as a whole. Without being mean to others list some of the ones you can live with out. Here's my list Rush Pink Floyd The Beatles Kiss The Doors Jethro Tull I know there are more, but that's just it off the top of my head. I recognize the influence and genius of these bands, But most of their music is just not my cup of tea. C'mon admit who just doesn't do it for you! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon admit who just doesn't do it for you! :: Well, Windy, you did a great job at listing the bands that do do it for me. I sit here and try to think of how it would be to have never heard the contestants from your list. Lots of memories in those bands' songs. Lets see, who doesn't do it for me: Arlo Guthrie The Grateful Dead The Band Bob Seger It's kinda hard to think of bands that I'm not fond of because I have done my best to forget them. I must try harder. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 When I first saw the subject to this thread, I had misinterpreted it being about "Embarrassing Songs You Enjoy", there's a thread for that buried somewhere on this forum, I need to dig in & find it. A few off the top of my head... Aerosmith Ambrosia Bachman Turner Overdrive Billy Joel Black Oak Arkansas Bruce Springsteen The Cars Chicago Dan Fogelberg David Bowie Doobie Brothers Electric Light Orchestra Elton John Elvis Costello Emerson Lake & Palmer / Robert's solo Fleetwood Mac Genesis George Thorogood Grand Funk Railroad Guess Who Jefferson Airplane/Starship John Lennon Joe Cocker Meatloaf Paul McCartney & Wings Police / Sting Queen Rod Stewart Steely Dan T. Rex Todd Rundgren The Who (most of their songs) Neil Young (sorry guys, but he's just too Politically Correct) ZZ Top Billy Squire Cinderella DLR solo Kiss Motley Crue Motorhead Poison Ratt R.J. Dio Van Halen Warrant Wasp Winger Alanis Morrissette Beck Foo Fighters Goo Goo Dolls Matchbox 20 Nirvana Pearl Jam (post 10) Radiohead Smashing Pumpkins [scott is not going to be happy with some of these here] Blink 182 Bowling for Soup Fountains of Wayne Good Charlotte Simple Plan Smash Mouth Sugar Ray Sum 41 3rd Eye Blind Uncle Kracker Insane Clown Posse Kidrock Korn Limp Bizkit Slipknot I'm not saying I hate all these bands / artists, but they're mostly ones I could've done without. I'll post more when I can think of them, that's just a few that came to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielj Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Man Oh Man I can't believe people don't like the band. I don't really like AC/DC all that much. I don't mind Bon Scott but Johnsons voice gets on my nerves. Kiss/Motley Crue: This glam stuff. dont like all that much. Metallica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Annabelle_ Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 There is quite a few but here's a short list bands/artists that don't interest me a whole lot: Rolling Stones The Doors Metallica Bruce Springsteen U2 Nirvana Van Halen Elvis Presley (No offense intended to any fans of the above artists.)

MuzikTyme Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I don't know what it is about The Band, Grateful Dead or Arlo Guthrie I don't care for. It's the style I imagine. To me it sounds like drunken babble and Guthrie, to me, sounds like Bob Dylan with no nose. Seger, still wondering why I've always changed the station on him, I dunno, every song, to me, sounds like Night Moves, which, I've always detested. His voice, to me, has always sounded strained, every darn one of his songs. I have a Grateful Dead decal (depicting the rainbow bears) on the rear glass of my truck. Not because I like them but because the colors go well with my new paint job. (cobalt blue) People say to me all the time they never took me for a dead fan. I have to explain to them that they were right the first time. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 ZZ Top. One long, distorted note. George Thorogood (And I know the guy). For the love of God, please play ONE song without a slide guitar. Eric Clapton. Mundane. Nothing flashy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I like certain songs by those alternative bands listed, but I always felt they were highly overrated back then, my ex girlfriend was heavy into them, & I wounded up hearing a good portion of all their albums as a result. I guess I forgot to include Dave Matthews Band while I was at it, that would be #1 on my list for the 1990's. edit: I made a major mistake when writing this LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 IndiePop and Songwriter sort of music: Tori Amos Alanis Morissette Sarah Mclacklan Coldplay Pete Yarn These usually get lumped in with the stuff I listen to and used to get played at the clubs: Marlin Manson Trent Reznor/NIN (with the exception of the first 2 albums) Velvet Acid Christ Type O Negative Cradle Of Filth Then, there are the popular Hair Rock bands: Bon Jovi Motley Crue Poison Stryper Whitesnake Arena, Classic, and ProgRock bands: Yes BTO Boston Jefferson Starship KISS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 edit: I made a major mistake when writing this LOL It couldn't be this, could it? :: Dave Matthews Band while I was at it, that would be #1 on my list for the 1990's. That one shoulda been on my list also, oh yeah and Creed(what a s___fest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 It couldn't be this, could it? :: That one shoulda been on my list also, oh yeah and Creed(what a s___fest) I had accidentally put that my sister listened to those bands, & I heard them all the time, when it was in fact my girlfriend. My memory seems to be slipping already. You've hit the nail once again Scott, I can't believe I forgot Creed! They wouldn't have been so bad, but then they go & cover The Door's "Riders in the Storm" & completely ruin a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
