Unfortunately, yes... though the newer albums are absolute crap, and the stuff before they were famous (though I'll admit I did only hear about them when they hit it big) is much better than most of their well known stuff.

And Fred Durst is a fool.

Micolithe · « **Reply #201 on:** 11 Aug 2005, 08:36 »

I listen to Thrice once in a while.

And on occasion my old Blink 182 and Sum 41 albums.

Not An Addict · « **Reply #202 on:** 11 Aug 2005, 08:38 »

I have one Lenny Kravitz song on iTunes, but it's "It Ain't Over Till It's Over", so I refuse to feel guilty. Same with "Careless Whisper" by Wham!

Shut up.

ielerol · « **Reply #203 on:** 13 Aug 2005, 17:34 »

I refuse to feel guilty about any music I like. When determining what music I will or will not listen to, I ask myself one question: "Do I like to listen to it?" If I like it, I like it.

Music snobbery is one of my pet peeves. I just don't understand. Aesthetic judgments, including what criteria to judge by, are all subjective. How does any one person get the right to judge the personal taste of another?

Maybe I'm in the wrong place, but I thought the whole point of being "indie" is liking what you like and not what someone else says you should.
[/rant]

Anyway, on to the music.

ABBA
Ace of Base
Billy Joel
The Cranberries
Eagle Eye Cherry (well, two songs. Save Tonight and When Mermaids Cry)
Enya
Peter, Paul and Mary

Basically I scrolled down my iTunes and looked for stuff I remember having been insulted for. There's probably more that I'd be mocked for, but I'm not very in touch with "the scene" or whatever and don't know what I'm "supposed" to dislike.

rawrXskittles · « **Reply #204 on:** 13 Aug 2005, 17:37 »

Peter, Paul and Mary? People insulted you for Peter, Paul and Mary?! They did Puff the Magic Dragon for gods' sakes!

^^^^ What he said!

ManlyMan · « **Reply #206 on:** 13 Aug 2005, 19:22 »

I get insulted a lot for what I listen to. Mainly the emo stuff though, unsurprisingly. I'm not ashamed, more disgusted by people's lack of respect for opinion. ANYWAYS,

The Used
My Chemical Romance
Alexisonfire
The Ataris (that last album was saddening for me)
Billy Talent
Nirvana (I was a bit surprised)
The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Blink 182
Mudvayne
Metallica

I'm not at all surprised by the first two. It really bugs me though how I get crap for liking Alexisonfire just because they have a lot of screaming going on.

I only bug one of my friends about what he listens to, because his favorite bands are Blink 182, Plus 44, and Boxcar Racer. I cannot resist. He wrote a song on guitar and unsurprsingly, it sounds like pre s/t blink.

Looking at those bands, I am not very indie. Oh well.

Whoever insulted you for liking RHCP should be dragged into the street and killed repeatedly!

Kai · « **Reply #208 on:** 13 Aug 2005, 20:03 »

And then Manlyman should be dragged into the street and killed alongside him. Liking Mudvayne is punishable by DEATH.

ManlyMan · « **Reply #209 on:** 13 Aug 2005, 20:18 »

Heheheh. Everyone has a problem with at least one of the bands I listen to. Always. They usually say something along the lines of what Kai said. At first I was insulted, now it's just god damn funny.

I can see why Mudvayne is hated though, pretty clearly actually....but it doesn't stop me from enjoying it.

Well, unless you manage to find me and destroy me.

rawrXskittles · « **Reply #210 on:** 13 Aug 2005, 21:10 »

Whoever hates Mudvayne should be dragged out into the street and beaten with two-by-fours that have rusty nails in them, I love Mudvayne.

ManlyMan · « **Reply #211 on:** 13 Aug 2005, 21:39 »

Whatever you guys do, just don't steal my cloudsong. I think there is impending gratituous violence.

I couldn't hate on someone for just hating x band or liking y band. It doesn't represent them, just something they happen to enjoy/hate.

Mudvayne seems to be a love/hate band. Like most similar bands.

Also, one of the few RHCP haters in my area hates Franz Ferdinand too, and bugs me about it. Should I find this strange? Should I poke this said person with sticks?

Or is it common to not like these bands? I can't tell anymore.

rawrXskittles · « **Reply #212 on:** 13 Aug 2005, 21:49 »

Poke them with rusty nails. Franz Ferdinand I don't like, RHCP I don't like, Mudvayne I do. Give 'em hell, kid.

Super Dave · « **Reply #213 on:** 13 Aug 2005, 22:20 »

eesh. Mudvvayne only had one good album (LD50), and it wasn't even that good.

Also, people who mock me for liking Megadeth usually get a swift introduction to Dr. Fist.

I'm pretty sure Franz Ferdinand only has one song and they just change the lyrics up. Hot Hot Heat is much better if you like that sort of thing.

ManlyMan, I love The Used, and I think their cover of Under Pressure with MCR was awe-inspiringly kickass. So we can be losers together.

Passed through the filter of shit-awful local emo bands, My Chemical Romance and The Used are why I don't go to local shows anymore.

And also why I moan about people who like crap trend-wh...I mean different music getting way much more fun than me.

sp2 · « **Reply #218 on:** 14 Aug 2005, 14:06 »

I just don't see why you'd listen to The Used when you can lsiten to the Misfits. And I don't know why you'd listen to My Chemical Romance when razor blades sell for only $1.99 at your local corner store.

rawrXskittles · « **Reply #219 on:** 14 Aug 2005, 15:12 »

sp2, I think we may have covered this topic already. Besides, the Misfits aren't really that good. Why do people make such a huge deal out of them?

Oh yeah, crappy bands I like: Something Corporate (only a couple songs, though) and Fall Out Boy (nurrr! Fall Out Boy, nurrrrrr!)

TheToon_Ashtoon · « **Reply #222 on:** 14 Aug 2005, 15:37 »

Ah, staind. I like maybe 3 songs out of every whiny song they have ever made.
I happen to enjoy those songs very much, though. So Staind is okay in my book. Say yes to malcore?

Also, Breaking Benjamin is one of my favorites to listen to. Especially Rain. Man I have such a soft spot for fluffy songs by rock bands.
What about a perfect circle? I wouldn't listen to them for a while because of thinking they would be generic punk. i was very mistaken, they have really interesting sounding songs. Especially The Fiddle and the Drum which is just four part accopella harmonizing. Nice. ~.^
Oh and I like one song by something corperate: Me and the Moon. I am a big fan of that song.

How about Simon&Garfunkle? Queen? Jewel? The Cranberries?
I guess I am big on older folky bands, we listen to them in art class all the time.

I have only heard a few Hot Hot Heat songs, but they were kick ass. I shall have to check them out further.

I just listen to what sounds good to me. Sometimes "awful" things can sound "good". MCR has some good and fun melodies IMO. Also, no I don't cut myself. I find that stuff pretty stupid, so razorblades are a no go.

Losers FTW.

Before or after Danzig left? If you mean to say the Misfits sucked with Danzig, you clearly hate punk and should go listen to hippie jam bands or something.

I was actually suggesting that suicide is preferable to listening to MCR. I don't make light of cutters. I used to be one.

Holy shit. Going through this topic is like falling back to third-grate highschool. Nickelback, Mudvaine, Staind, Tool, Disturbed, all those names from the past...

But yeah, Korn and Limp Bizkit's older albums have sentimental value, so blast me all you want, I still like to listen to Break Stuff every once in a while. Also, what's wrong with hippie jam bands?

Wow, you must really hate MCR then.

Good you stopped cutting. That's a horrible thing to do, I stopped my ex girlfriend from it, and she's been better off and happier since. I guess some people just have trouble talking about things after awhile.

The Misfits are mediocre now....but even if you don't enjoy it, Danzig era Misfits is something you should respect. I think it was pretty important. That's just my two cents though.

TheToon_Ashtoon · « **Reply #228 on:** 14 Aug 2005, 19:23 »

Aye, cutting is no laughing matter.
In any case, I can't stand Limp Bizkit. I do love the cover of behind blue eyes. Yes, I do.

Post-Danzig Misfits, I meant. Early Misfits was ace. And I hate hippie rock.

I dunno if I said it yet, but I absolutely love Marilyn Manson (I am a glutton for punishment). I just finished reading his book.

Arrr!

Modern misfits isn't that bad. Still pretty catchy, but they're basically just stuck in a cliche groove catering to their less elitist fans. Static Age ftw people. Although I always preferred Danzig to the Misfits. Probably just my musical taste, but those first four albums! Perfecto. People accuse them of being 'mere vocal showcases', but I normally slap those people and shout 'IT'S GLENN DANZIG MAN'.

I wish I'd been some big shot producer or something in the early nineties. I would totally have gotten Glenn Danzig, Ronny James Dio, and Messiah Marcolin of Candlemass together (probably the 3 best classic metal vocalists) and made them make pants-wettingly awesome heavy metal. The supergroup even comes complete with a tag line 'Ronny is from Heaven, Glenn is from Hell, and Messiah is wearing a monks habit for some odd reason'.

People who like shitty pop-punk bands like blink-182 and sum41 because they're 'light and fun,' note that that is not an excuse to listen to blink-182 and sum41. Pop-punk is the explosive diarrhea of music: it's everywhere. There are thousands upon thousands of garage and better pop-punk bands, and hundreds and hundreds of them are actually pretty good. "I know it sucks, but I like it," is not as good as "I know it sucks so I'll find something better that I enjoy more." Your musical malaise is not cute, it's ignorant.

Decima · « **Reply #235 on:** 15 Aug 2005, 04:44 »

Kylie Minouge for the masses!!! Damn, some of her songs are so kickass cool with that electronic minimalic pop beat ^^. I havnt really listened seriously to her though, but I think Ill download one of her albums (you see, I dont want to give her money because I think she gives us kids of today a bad morale) rather soon.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #236 on:** 15 Aug 2005, 07:32 »

The world would be an infinitely cooler place if Hippies all listened to Hawkwind and Orange Goblin.

i made a thread a long time ago called "jam bands make me happy" and they do. studio albums are great for listening to relaxing music, and live albums are pretty decent background for a nice big smoking session or just hanging out relaxing and talking. for listening to music as the activity though, live albums blow.

Could you name a few examples of hippie jam bands? Because whenever I read "jam bands", I think of The Mars Volta, who are not a bad band.

In case you mean crappy modern hippie shit like Kings of Leon, I wholeheartedly agree.

Kings of Leon are not a jam band, nor are they hippies. they suck.

Kai · « **Reply #240 on:** 15 Aug 2005, 10:07 »

Mistaking Kings of Leon for a jam band (or even remotely GOOD) is punishable by death.

and The Mars Volta is just prog rock. Not jam band.

Also, every Les Claypool project that is not Primus (and even latter day Primus is pretty jammy) is pretty much a jam band.

They pull off the hippie look and thus have been labeled as a hippie band by the press. Which is why I tried applying the term here. I doubt they jam, but I never even bothered checking them out live, so I can't tell of course.

Live, they jam a damn lot.
Not that this qualifies them as a jam band as such, but I just couldn't apply the label "hippie jam band" to any band I know.

Who ever told you this is a big fat liar. I saw APC last year (I went to see the Mars Volta, who were opening, and I didn't give a shit about the headlining band at all). And they don't jam. They barely even move on stage. I think they might actually be statues rather than musicians.

They're still awesome. And maybe they just didn't jam that one time. Ever think of that?

No, not really.

Also, I've heard from people that have seen them several times live that they are pretty much uninteresting on stage.
