Fun Stuff > BAND
I Like Shitty Music!
SeanBateman:
Stolen from Dumbrella, but applicable here. Even for a bunch of pretentious indie kids, I am willing to bet that we all have bands that are not good that we listen to anyway. For example, I was mucking the horses earlier today(shovelling their shit) and I was rocking the most recent Blink 182 CD. Who else listens to music that they know they maybe shouldn't? And what!
lastclearchance:
Well I think it's kind of a defense mechanism for me, but I can point out flaws in something and rock it anyway. Like for example. I tend to rock things that are immaturely melodramatic, like Nine Inch Nails' The Fragile, Death Cab for Cutie'sTransatlanticism, Deftones' White Pony, and Stars' Set Yourself on Fire. And I happen to think these are great records. But I realize they rub others the wrong way because of the over-indulgence of the music.
I can't really think of any albums I /shouldn't/ listen to though.
Signum_Tenebrae:
I listen to a lot of mindless music. A lot of mediocre black metal (symphonic especially)
A lot of the death metal I listen to is mindless as well.
but I guess other than that I don't know.
SeanBateman:
Aww man I jsut saw the guilty pleasures thread. Mine has a better title, but mods, lock it anyway and hide my shame.
Kanno:
I dunno, I listen to things that conventional indie wisdom says "completely suck". But I don't think they suck.
Check this out: I think Blink 182 was a good band. They were completely mainstream, but they had some great goofy pop punk songs. Eat it.
Here's a good motto: What's popular (ie: opinion of bands to hate, not the bands themselves) is not always right.
Maybe some of these bands got popular because they WRITE GOOD MUSIC!
EDIT: More bands that DON'T suck:
Dave Matthews Band
Slipknot (self-titled only, everything after blew...... okay, maybe this is stretching it a bit)
fuck, what else....
Phish
Green Day
System Of A Down (not mesmerize though.. wtf happened system?)
THE SMASHING PUMPKINS (what is with all the corgan hate here?)
Tool
Foo Fighters
The Beatles (I hear this a ton)
Good Charol.... Kidding! Kidding...
