Fun Stuff > BAND
Anyone else listen to crap music?
Dara:
I think, just in terms of marketability, truly 'bad' music is pretty rare. But mediocre music is very common.
RUMBLEMOOSE:
I feel like somebody should mention the Shaggs, the most defective-sounding pop band ever.
And I listen to a lot of stuff that most people with decent musical taste hate, so I'm guessing it's actually bad music, but I have a hard time telling the difference if I like listening to it. I'm pretty bad at being objective about bands I like.
*edit: Actually, I like a lot of stuff that's poorly recorded and performed (punk rock), unoriginal (punk-pop), repetetive (a lot of noise music), boring (drone/doom metal), and so forth, but usually I can only handle one or two bad elements at a time.
Soidanae:
I love listening to Breaking Benjamin. And they're horrid.
Same with Black Star Morning.
So yeah, me too. There are defintley horrible musicians I love listening to.
El Opium:
I find myself agreeing with Dara's comment on this one. I think people who go around spouting that 99% of music is bad are really annoying.
I personally listen to a fair bit of music that is deliberately poorly recorded/ineptly played and happen to enjoy it for it's aesthetic, spontaneous nature and even it's difficulty. Explaining myself to others in that context is difficult. Only popular thing that some people think is bad that I have is my eighty-eight cent cassette copy of Van Halen's "1984". How is it possible to not like "Jump"?
rive gauche:
I used to listen to that song "Confessions" by Usher because I thought it was soooo ridiculously ridiculous. I memorised all the words and could sing the whole thing because I wanted to do an acoustic version of it for the talent show at my school. Yeah, I know I'm awesome. ;)
