that alot of music really sucks. I am listening to pandora right now, and there's just so much shitty music that keeps playing. It's kinda pissing me off a little, but it'll clue in eventually. I hope. If you know of music that sucks, talk about it and feel free to diss other people, I'm not going to stop you.

Houdinimachine · « **Reply #1 on:** 06 Jun 2006, 16:32 »

I sense this heading down a deep dark path...

Or it could turn into a metal thread a couple pages in.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #2 on:** 06 Jun 2006, 16:35 »

Why fucking wait.

Who's everyones favourite Les Legiones Noires band? I say Vlad Tepes, and I'll defend that to the death. Only one that comes anywhere near is Mütiilation.

stevethepirate · « **Reply #3 on:** 06 Jun 2006, 16:39 »

This isn't music you like, it's music you hink is shitty, sure you can defend your favorite msuic, but that's what all the dissing and bitching will be about!

KharBevNor · « **Reply #4 on:** 06 Jun 2006, 16:39 »

Dude, half of the Les Legiones Noires bands don't actually exist.

It's hard to get shittier than that.

Unless you're like, The Pussycat Dolls.

Houdinimachine · « **Reply #5 on:** 06 Jun 2006, 16:40 »

We're avoiding the bitching by turning this into a metal thread.

I like Tomahawk.

Damn you and your liking. This thread is going in the total opposite direction. Damn you all and your happiness and such.

There's no room for happiness in metal.

Oh man, I know the feeling. I have such a huge backlog of stuff that I still have to listen to and download and check out that I just am overwhelmed all the time. It's a bastard.

Also: I like Tomahawk too!

And I have no idea what the point of this thread is! That's why I love it.

Garcin · « **Reply #9 on:** 06 Jun 2006, 21:18 »

You know, it's funny. Saying you dislike a song or an artist in this forum is pointless. It's not like you're going to convince someone to start disliking music they think they like.

But saying that you like a song or an artist has a point since you could be introducing someone to something new.

I love the fact that I can start reading random threads in the music forum and find 10 new artists that I like in about an hour.

Faw · « **Reply #10 on:** 07 Jun 2006, 00:26 »

Well, i've always been a stickler for doing pointless stuff in spite of knowing the exact reason why it's pointless if for nothing other than to further conversation.
And i hate the hell out of 'angels and airwaves' i wouldn't have ever even heard them if i didn't have bastards for friends.

Same here. I actually have a list of stuff to download and listen to, its a monster of a list (to think I have a bigger list that got deleted by mistake). And there are lots of stuff I downloaded some time ago and did'nt get around listening to.
Seriously a bastard.

Also, Tomahawk are an amazing band.

Speaking of metal, I finally came around to not hating black metal recently. I've been mostly listening to bigger names like Emperor, Immortal and Satyricon, so if anybody has any less obvious suggestions, I'd like to hear them.

ASturge · « **Reply #14 on:** 07 Jun 2006, 11:52 »

I'm listening to Upside Down, by Jack Johnson. I challenge you all to dislike this song!

And the video with the little monkey XD !!!!

I need to go see Curious George!

Kai · « **Reply #15 on:** 07 Jun 2006, 11:56 »

I don't know the exact track, but everything I've heard of Jack Johnson is just SO utterly boring and banal and deathly dull.

You're not supposed to come around to black metal by way of post-black metal. That's not how reality works.

I think most of the regulars know and acknowledge the likes of most of the other regulars by now. Anyway, there's this old saying: "to claim superiority to someone is to admit inferiority to someone else." For ever guy out there who thinks that they're special because they saw Pavement tour, there's some other guy who fuckin' played with Malkmus on tour but never really liked what he was doing because it was "derivative".

Well said. The reason why I started going to this forum was because of how incredibley insightful and amazing the music threads were. Well, that and the fact that the forum was filled with intelligent, somewhat indie 20-somethings who knew how to avoid using leet or abbreviating their words. Don't let my beloved go to shit. Talk about the good stuff.

Slick · « **Reply #23 on:** 07 Jun 2006, 16:47 »

The only friend of mine who likes Jack Johnson is in the military, he uses it to calm down because that guy is insanely energetic. He's doing paratrooper stuff and everything he can. My friend, not Jack. I find Jack generally boring, but not bad. Nice around a campfire, I think that's where he started his stuff.

I've actually got a long queue of music to download, but I like to wait at least a week before getting most things so I can forget what people said about them. If something catches my interest for a second, it goes on the list, and later is downloaded. A month from now I'll start listening to Tomahawk and wonder why I downloaded metal.

stevethepirate · « **Reply #24 on:** 07 Jun 2006, 17:37 »

Wow, only 1 or two other people actually voiced their dislikes of bands. Thsi was a true test of this forum. Congratulations, we're all hippies.

Have a flower.

jcknbl · « **Reply #25 on:** 07 Jun 2006, 17:39 »

Thats the problem with Pandora. The criteria they use are ok but say I put in "The Smiths"- I'll just get a bunch of bands that are really shitty versions of the Smiths.

What amazes me is how much good music there is and how little of it gets listened to.

Also, everyone here still can't stand Creed, right? Just making sure.

stevethepirate · « **Reply #26 on:** 07 Jun 2006, 17:41 »

Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone hates Creed, that and Nickelback. A buddy of mine got free backstage passes to one of their shows and they made fun of them right t their faces. Of course they were subtle about it, but damn it was funny talking to him about that.

nuisance · « **Reply #27 on:** 07 Jun 2006, 17:59 »

If someone slagged off an artist for the reasons I usually like music I'd be tempted to check that artist out.

Sorry, worst sentence ever.

There's lots of music I don't like, of course... Usually (what I think are?) obvious targets like the RHCP, particularly their disgustingly over-compressed stuff that just has zero dynamics and makes my ears tired almost instantly. Talk about adding insult to injury.

Hey Guys! remember we are no longer slagging off artists, but saying the forum is awesome, which it is.

I've gotten to know some great bands here: Coil, All Girl Summer Band and many others, I also got my Oink invite here, which opened the door to many many other bands.

One of my plans for the summer is to get a new hard drive 8only 10 GBs left) and try to get as may of the bands I've heard reccomended here.

I absolutely love Beirut which I didn't hear of from here, but you should check them out. Some punk teenager from Arizona who managed to combine Belle and Sebastian with eastern european gypsycore.

I think I just made up a word.

If there isn't gypsycore there should be.

Let's try to force people to argue about something that they're bound to argue about anyways. Yeah let's do that cause it's not the dumbest shit ever.

I really really cannot stand The White Stripes. Would people please stop trying to change this.

Everytime I hear their song about the goddamn doorbell I have to punch something. Preferably an orphan.

If I hear about them and listen to them, great. What I'm saying is that sometimes it's overwhelming when there are so many new bands that you can't listen to them all (my main problem being that I can't afford to buy all the albums I would like) and that it shouldn't feel that you have to know about such and such band in order to be "in the know" as long as you love what you already know. Isn't that cool enough??? I dunno...just some thoughts.

Garcin · « **Reply #47 on:** 08 Jun 2006, 15:08 »

Especially in NYC. Bloggers in this city can literally make an obscure solo artist the "next big thing" within about 48 hours of their first performance in a venue admitting about 50 people. Trying to keep up is literally impossible, and would be even if you didn't care about anything else.

That being said, the thrill of coming across a new band, both in the sense that they just started to make music, and in the sense that they are doing something interesting that you've never heard before, is undeniable. It gives venue-hopping a sense of adventure.

Bah! That's exactly why I hate reading snotty music reviews! And why I have my nerdy girly theory about how all music reviews should only be about albums the reviewer LIKES, because I think it's just awful to turn someone off of a band that they might have loved just because a pretentious critic said so.

And quite frankly, since I'm new here let's just be honest from the get-go, I've got no problem with shitty music. If it's fun to my ears, I'll listen to it. I won't PURCHASE it, but I'll listen to it. I have no shame in blasting some Don't Stop Believin' in my car with the windows down.

And PS, Beirut and Gogol Bordello are both incredible amd this thread has made gypsycore my vocab word of the day.
