Yeah but Sams Town is better!!!!
Really? I mean... Really? I could see you LIKING it better, but Born To Run is an absolute classic album for a reason, with the title track being arguably one of the best rock and roll songs of all time. Thunder Road? Jungleland? Born To Run is one of the great American musician's masterpiece, Sam's Town is a good album by a good band.Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V0 -
This broad i know on Facebook slammed Eddie and pearl jam yesterday calling them shit (this was after the Ed tour announcement). I was blown away.0

Though I'm not sure how anybody could find the song 'Born To Run' boring. I'm not trying to ride your ass hard on this, but I've just never heard anyone mentioning that.Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way.

One of the Pearl Jam guys (might have been McCready) said that Def Leppard is one of his all time favorite bands. He said he used to go to their concerts and try to meet the band backstage after shows. (It's in the 'Immagine in Cornice' documentary where he said this.)United Center (Chicago): 8/24/09

Me too. I don't get much of a kick out of the albums but that Hyde Park performance was right up there with the best. And that Hyde Park crowd were better behaved than at the PJ show last year.facepollution wrote:thefixer9 wrote:Check out his Hyde Park performance two years ago on YouTube.

If I ever meet anyone in the band that recorded "Play That Funky Music Whiteboy," they should fear for their personal safety. The most irritatingly shameless ripoff of Sly Stone's "Thank You Faletinme Be Mice Elf Agin" I've ever heard.0

The chick singer Geddy Lee was in rare form last night. Opening night to their 2nd leg of their Time Machine World Tour. They were better than their last time here in South Florida 10+.

Michael Jackson -- I can't say anything nice, so I won't say anything.
Britney Spears/Lady Gaga/ Katy Perry/ etc. Manufactured performance art does not equal music.
Motley Crue and their ilk. -- Call them hair bands, crotch rock, whatever. I came from a part of the country where they were inescapable. Oh, and Kid Rock.
The Black-Eyed Peas -- I HATE the Black-Eyed Peas!!! I call them "music for the semi-literate." I don't know how anybody can listen to that and not have their head explode.
Billy Joel -- loathe him.
"New country" -- I don't get it. My husband and I frequent a great sushi place that has some country song about drunk-dialing and/or booty calls playing on repeat -- It's a quarter to something and I'm drunk and I need some lovin'. Ugh.
I must be in a good mood, because that's all that's coming to mind. But I really, really hate the BEPs.All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.0 -

CTD10 wrote:So what bands out there do you just not like, or can't understand the hype.
Well for me Nickelback, of course. But one I really do not like is Coldplay. My girlfriend loves them and I just dont get it...such a boring band.
Another one is The Trews...they are from Canada.
As for classic rock..I never got into Pink floyd.

YOU HATE THE KILLERS!!!! :( :( :( :(
Amazing what a dramatic decline that band took. Hot Fuss is one of my favorite albums of the decade. Sam's Town is just ok. Then that last album was pathetically awful.
I kinda agree with you here. Although I thought Sam's Town was fucking great, maybe even better than Hot Fuss. Day & Age was fucking terrible though...I'll agree with that.0 -
Alice in Chains- I dunno what it is, but I could just never stand listening to these guys. Anytime one of their songs comes on the radio, I have to immediately change the station..0

People are going to hate me for this...
The Beatles - I don't hate The Beatles. But they've never done much for me. I've listened to a LOT of their songs, and while they're agreeable enough they're just not that earth shaking for me. But most of what I can't stand about The Beatles is the fans...saying you HAVE to like them or you don't like music at all, you have to like them because they've influenced thousands of bands...I don't get that attitude. I don't have to like one band to appreciate others. I understand they've had a historical impact, and ARE influential - but I shouldn't have to love them just for that alone.
Most classic rock - Just can't get into most of it. I like a bunch of tunes from Zeppelin, and some Rush, but that's about it. I don't know why it doesn't do anything for me, maybe years of my dad beating it to death in the car, but it just doesn't. Sometimes I think if these bands recorded their music in this decade, exactly note for note only with more modern production, I would love it.
Nickelback/Shinedown/Three Doors Down/etc - Generic, boring, contrived, hard to tell apart, etc.
Scene/"Hardcore" music (Brokencyde, Blood on the Dancefloor/Attack Attack!, Asking Alexandria, etc) - Scene music is basically crossing lame scene kids with whiny, autotuned voices over the worst elements of metalcore and throwing random techno shit in - it makes me feel like I need to have ADD or just be amazingly shallow to like it. For "hardcore" music, it's essentially metalcore with a breakdown in every song and once again, random techno bits. Most of it is just terribly derivative, not even that bad, to the point where I can literally not tell them apart, and I can't understand why so many kids my age love these kinds of bands when they're a dime a hundred.
Radio pop - I.E. the likes of Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Rihanna, etc. They border from boring to outright annoying, and the lyrics are usually some of the worst I have ever heard. "Tick tock on the clock party till you can't stop"...it's bad. The radio doesn't help it either, most of it wouldn't bother me if not for being at work or in a store and being assaulted with it the whole time - hearing Katy Perry sing Teenage Dream 10 times a day will make you hate it, and fast. On this note, I actually do like Lady Gaga, she can write decent songs and play the piano well enough, but her act is what grates at me. If she dropped it and focused on the music, she'd be 1,000 times better.
God...I feel better now.Thanks EPOTTSIII!
