Fun Stuff > BAND
To hell with the canon
Cernunnos:
Sweet! Another clevelander! on a related note, sometimes one can like music because they hate it. for some reason I can't think of an example, but sometimes, a band is so obnoxious, grating or insulting or painful that you just gotta love them. Weird, isn't it?

Hmmm... That is possible. Do you know John from Bent Crayon? I think he does that.

I really tried to like the Specials, but it didn't work. And fuck Symphonie Fantastique by Hector Berlioz. Piece of crap. *spit*
a pack of wolves:
--- Quote from: robert g on 04 Oct 2006, 18:23 ---Now that's just sad, that you let [presumably college student-aged] hippies who go on "trips" [and probably go see shitty jam bands too] ruin a whole genre of music for you. That'd be like if I rejected liking the Books because they had an all-ages show here in Cleveland and so I had to deal with kids who were only ten when the Books started making music. In other words, laaaaaaaame.

You misunderstand me. The crappy nature of reggae music calls to my mind its worst fans since for me they kind of embody the qualities I hate about the music but they don't put me off. They don't exactly help, but neither do emo record collector snobs, middle class morons in girls jeans who think they're tough doing kung-fu to Converge, fashion crusties and obnoxious indie students, but I love all that stuff despite it.
ImRonBurgundy?:
What about skinhead reggae, though? That should conjure the exact opposite image.
