Oh, yes. /Everyone/ has them--those records, tapes, or CDs hidden under everything else, that you /insist/ you never liked, but oh----you /did/.
=winces= I was such a pop whore when I was little.
The Backstreet boys(yeah,I know, retch), and I bought into the Spice Girls craze, and Aqua. Can't forget Aqua.
And I just remembered the cardigans! Anyone remember who they are? =sings= Love me, love me, say that you love me....
Give a girl a break---I was eight frickin' years old!
-
Phil Collins.
Genesis with Phil Collins.
I think I was about twelve.
-
I used to like a few nu-metal bands, simply because, really, I hadn't heard anything better. Once I graduated on to the real thing, which those had been a watered down version of, I was totally sold, and have never looked back. One of my friends also once pressured me so much that I actually bought a Funeral for a Friend CD. Eugh.
-
I will never regret Aqua -_-
probably some random indie band who I now realise are absolute shite.
-
=laughs= Lucky.
See, my lovely friend Age never regretted(or stopped) liking Aqua. A week ago, he shoved his MP3 player at me and said, "listen".
Every freaking song on the whole thing was...oh yeah, Aqua. They've been re-stuck in my head ever since. It's /awful/.
-
Any version of "Ugly Girl">Aqua
"I'm an ugly girl, my face makes you hurl,
Sad I have it, I should bag it!
Acne everywhere, unwanted facial hair.
I'm a relation to Frankensteins creation."
Also, Rammsteins cover of Barbie Girl. Brilliance.
-
Bryan Adams, Paula Abdul and Phil Collins. I remember singing along...
-
Oasis, Blur, Pulp, The Bouncing Souls, Mad Caddies, Guttermouth, Less Than Jake, Pitchshifter, Ocean Colour Scene, Rage Against The Machine, System of A Down, Bentley Rhythm Ace, The Prodigy, Vanilla Pod and a host of others.
I'm not embarrassed about my musical past at all and I don't even think all of these bands are bad by any means, but I now feel like I wasted time and money on them which would have been more productively spent elsewhere had someone only pointed me in the right direction earlier.
-

Dude, I like about half those bands now! I regret liking Sum41, but I was in grade 10, it was a good long time ago. That is all.
-
Well like I said some of them aren't bad at all. I still spin Less Than Jake, Mad Caddies, Pulp and the Bouncing Souls now and again, and since it's summer coming they'll all probably be getting their annual dust-off soon enough. It's just that I had very little money to spend on records when I was younger, and I wish it had been going on people like the Minutemen or Swing Kids who I didn't hear until years later.
-
Yah, totally understood. Bouncing Souls are great, and Pulp's fun too. I'm kinda the same, I wish I had bought more signifant records, especially when I was bit younger and was getting into some of the stuff I listen to now.
-
I think I'm still in that "I'm listening to crap music but don't know it yet" stage, only 'cause I'm sixteen, and that's what sixteen-year-olds do; listen to whatever everyone else around them is listening to.
Hence my recent love for J-pop and J-rock.
-
Don't be so down on yourself. When I was sixteen my favourite bands were Fugazi and the Dead Kennedys and at 22 they still are, so you might find yourself still rocking to a lot of the same things yourself six years down the line.
Actually, I'm now getting a big urge to go find 'Different Class' and the self-titled Bouncing Souls album and get them on.
-
Also, Rammsteins cover of Barbie Girl. Brilliance.
Actually, that wasn't Rammstein. it was a wierdo from the netherlands by the name of Ome Henk (http://www.omehenk.nl/)
you can even hear his name in one of the lyrics.
-
I always thought that was Rammstein too. -goes to correct her file....- Thanks!
-
Same...
Did anyone else know that Ome Henk recorded 'Barbie Girl'? Because that is one obscure reference, great useless knowledge too.

Marilyn Manson --
Brian Warner is a really smart and artistic guy. He has an interesting point of view and tends to draw parallels between strange things. This often gets overlooked though because of things like "OMG HE SUCKS HIS OWN DICK"
Musically it's bland and tepid industrial rock.

hell of agreed.
-
hey there folks, i can honestly admit that i liked the Insane Clown Posse. im really sorry :(, i only really liked them for their funny music (my fave song of theirs was slim anus (slim anus is a rip off of slim shady))
please dont kill me :(
-
Ah, there are worse bands out there than ICP. My old high school smoking buddies used to love them. I've still got 'Nothin' But A Bitch Thang' somewhere on my computer I think, I downloaded it so they'd have something to giggle to while caning at my house. For some reason my normal choices of Captain Beefheart and the Stooges never went down too well.

talking about barbie girl here, ive got a clip of the japanese version, and it sounds pretty funny :D
-
I, um...
I still really like the Barbie Girl song.
I also used to be a huge pop fan (shortly after my hardcore Guns n Roses phase) and LOVED Take That, PJ and Duncan and The Spice Girls. I was embarassed about it for a little after it, then I realised that I like so many terrible bands now, that a little thing like a Take That phase sort of pales into insignificance.
-
I, um...
I still really like the Barbie Girl song.
hem hem, not really much point in making it smaller he he
-
Offspring. erm, I think thats it, most of the CDs I bought I still find listenable now. Oh, erm, Greenday, I bought Warning , which was total dross. Still like Dookie though. There was also an embarassing Chris Rea phase when I was about 12, but I don't like to talk about that.
Due to having been skint for such an absurdly long time I've not bought any CDs for ages, most of my stuff is downloaded. Soon though, soon I will have money, then I shall be bulk purchasing all the albums I've already got and feel are worth buying.
-
The Prodigy. I can't stand them anymore. I liked them before I was introdced to real music.
-
I'd say Britney Spears, but when she came out I was probably 15 years old. My hormones were in overdrive.
-
Bah - hormones? Britney Spears? Her eyes are so far apart that she looks like E.T.!
-
Aged 15 + Raging Hormones + girl who has a penchant for her own boobs.
-
Yes, I have heard many rumours of these things you call "boobs" . . .
-
I very much regret liking lots of oh so dodgy dance bands when i went through my mini clubber phase. Oh, and quite a lot of cheesy Japanese pop/rock when i first discovered anime. I think i taped the first Linkin Park album off a friend too.
It's quite strange that my taste in music was a lot better when i was much younger, rather then when i was 10-15 years old.
-
The first Linkin Park album is actually quite good on the first 3 or so listens. After that it just makes you feel sick.
-
Oh yeah...
=points to Dookie= Still good for a listen every now and then. Of course, I'm so far into my Metric binge right now that I haven't listened to anything else for weeks, and it just might be turning my brain to mush.
=sings mindlessly= Fallin' for the creep, the body leech, here he comes...
-
....Mindless Self Indulgence.
-
Linkin Park. But it doesn't really matter, I love Kelly Clarkson now so I can't really say my taste was all that unimpressive earlier. "Bad" music is awesome.
-
*sigh* Hanson
-
H.I.M.
Even though that was... 7 years ago? 8?
Damn, but the first album was good...
-
Brittany! You need to PM me your address for the CD trade!
I always get this feeling that HIM would be tolerable, if everytime you listened to them, you didn't get this mental image of a 14 year old girl in clothing covered in heartagrams going on about how cute Ville Valo is. (or is that just me?)
I mean, members of HIM are in a grindcore band with members of Cathedral and Amorphis. That's cred.
-
I can't believe--especially on an indie-related board--that people regret liking Blur and the Cardigans.
Aside from a mistep or two (Leisure and The Great Escape), Blur evolves in an interesting way on each album, and even the misteps are chock full of great pop songs.
And the Cardigans' Gran Turismo is hands-down a great album. IMO, it’s the best trip-hop-influenced pop record made. (Note: not the best trip-hop album made, though).
Personally, I don't regret liking anything. There are certainly things that I liked when I was younger that I'd be embarrassed to listen to now (all sorts of by-the-numbers industrial acts, for example), but I don't regret having liked them at the time.
-
Leisure is the best Blur album.
Edit: Actually Blur is the best Blur album, but I was trying to make a point
-
I think Blur dated rather badly. And interesting evolution... well, not to me. They changed their sound, sure, but not in particularly innovative or compelling ways. And Albarn's voice is, let's face it, pretty weak.
-
I used to know every single Dashboard Confessional song by heart.
I listened to a LOT of Linkin Park as well.
Besides those; MxPx, Creed, and Blink 182.
*sigh*
-
oasis and stereophonics. thinking back, i could puke.
-
I'll start this post by saying that I don't really regret liking anything. I wouldn't get rid of my old CDs now, hey maybe I'll even get back into them someday. This is just about what I was into at some time in the past, and am not into now.
One of my friends back when I was much younger and lived in Canada was a really massive Aerosmith fan, so I bought their Big Ones compilation. For the most part I was not enthusiastic about music until I was about thirteen or fourteen, so they were quite frankly almost the only rock band I knew and I listened to that one CD in a fairly dedicated fashion for quite a few years. I'll give them credit for that. The only other rock bands that I exposed myself to until I was fourteen were The Beatles and Green Day - I still enjoy a couple of Beatles albums and Dookie. Anyone among us who still likes Dookie should check out the first two albums, particularly Kerplunk which reminds me of Dookie but with a more solemn attitude and a slightly wider variety of music and musical ideas.
If I could go back in time, I would have gone to meet me at the age of fourteen (when I got into the Quake Soundtrack) and told him to buy whatever Coil and Nurse With Wound was available while he still could instead of sticking with the rock that I grew familiar with when I started listening to other Nine Inch Nails music. Instead I decided to "branch out" into other rock music as well as Nine Inch Nails and as a result I have heard every album from Foo Fighters, Coldplay, and System Of A Down despite never really getting into most of their music. I also feel that if I had got into Coil and Nurse With Wound quickly I wouldn't have gone for Foetus before then, who grew stale very quickly apart from the rather quirky first album.
Another band that I went for in an uninformed way was Godspeed You! Black Emperor. At first I thought that they were beyond criticism but the more instrumental music I heard, the more shallow they sounded to me.
-
Why do you guys have these regrets? You liked them at one point, you moved on. That's it. Why should you regret that?
-
I actually still listen to all the old music I used to like, I never stopped.
I just added Cock Sparrer, PFfunk, My Dying Bride and Bauhaus to my old favorites, like Boyz2men, Guns N Roses and Snoop.
~ Basim
-
SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP! Sorry, I love that Drop It Like It's Hot song. I also still like Prodigy....yeah, thats right.
-
I second the remark about people dislking Blur, for they are rather awesome. Theres a Cardigans remix I've been hutning for but just cannot find anywhere, it's acutally been so long now that I don't even know which one it is.
Oh and slagging on the Stereophonics is also wrong and bad, first albums amazing.
meh, I can see an argument developing here so I'll leave it at that, music isn't something that that you can be particularly objective about (for the most part anyway).
-
Stereophonics, much like Oasis, started well, and progressively declined from there
-
oasis. although i think i hate them more for their being complete assholes more then their music.
-
I've loved pretty much all the Girls Aloud singles.
Its good synthpop!
-
Do you regret liking them now?
-
erm......
YES, I SURE DO!!!
-
Stereophonics, much like Oasis, started well, and progressively declined from there
I shall have to agree with that. The first album was awesome. The second, decent. The rest has been been pretty much cack, with the odd moment of decency. Maybe tomorrow for instance, was really rather good, Dakota however, is really rather bad.
-
*sigh* Hanson
You know I forgot they existed 'till you reminded me? Weren't they the blonde kids, with the young one who you could swear was a girl?
=laughs= I totally forgot!
Oh, and on the subject of the Cardigans..
=le blush= Well, I was about eight or ten at the time(or at least had the /mentality/ of an eight or ten year old), so the only Cardigans song I'd /ever/ heard was "love fool". =smiles ruefully= Thanks a /lot/, folks, now you're making me want to go look at the rest of the stuff.
=is anticipating a quite large dent in her wallet in the near future=
-
Alexisonfire... but I still love 'em. God, you can't resist those cute tortured emocore boys... Dallas Green... : )
-
Oh. Even more embarassing - I used to worship the likes of Sum41 and Treble Charger. Not anymore, though... thankfully.
-
Same, although I don't regret liking Sum 41. New album is pretty rawk.
-
Pretty generic stuff here...blink, sum 41, the like. I can also remember enjoying "SR-71", although their album sucked ass save for about four songs. I'm sure you remember that "why do you always kick me when I'm high" song.
I think those'd be the only ones I could say I "regret"- I may not enjoy bands like offspring or treblecharger today(actually TC has a few good songs if you dig around enough...specifically on "Maybe it's Me"), but I don't really regret listening to them.
-
Pearl Jam, they became worse and worse. Really the whole slow steady decilne made their first two albums not worth it.
-
I regret worshiping the likes of My Chemical Romance (shakes fist in agony/passion), The USed, and LetterKill. Good damn thats almost embarissing as the fact that I own every single Linkin Park album, including the Jay Z crossover.(I have it on vinyl)
-
Nelson. But, but, they were cute! And there was one for me and one for my best friend. And they drove 65 Mustangs! and, and, yeah. I'm a dork.
-
I don't know if this is a regret, but I saw Busted a couple of years ago at one of our local Party in the Park things, and they were great, and we all danced...
BUT
today I got an e-mail confirming that I get to do a phone interview with Charlie Simpson from said band, now better known for the slightly less credible Fightstar, and I sort of squealed with excitement and bounced round the house in sheer jubilation...
I think this means I liked them more than I ever admitted to myself.
But seriously, Charlie. From Busted.
How could anyone not be excited?
I'll just wave goodbye to any inkling of credibilty I may have once imagined having.
-
iīll have to admit that i used to like both eminem and sum41. man, i hate them so bad.
REMEMBER: i was 11-12 at the time! it wasnīt my foult that i liked them. :(
-
I'm not embarrassed about my musical past at all and I don't even think all of these bands are bad by any means, but I now feel like I wasted time and money on them which would have been more productively spent elsewhere had someone only pointed me in the right direction earlier.
Yeah, that's how I feel about it, except the bands I liked were shite. But I only really started getting into popular music in eighth grade; I liked Evanescence and Michelle Branch. That sounds a little backwards to me, but hey, I was thirteen.
The worst ones, though, were 3 Doors Down and... Nickelback. It's pretty difficult to get worse than those two.

Hey... you know, it could have been worse. You could have liked *le gasp* CREED! Eek![/i]
-
When i was a little kid, I used to like Bon Jovi, then S-Club 7 and the Spice Girls.
Not embarrassed as such, as I only liked them because I don't know anything better, but more amused that i liked such shitty music.
My "gateway band" was the Offspring, then Greenday, and then the almighty Clash got me into better stuff.
-
I regret listening to Dixie Chicks and Spice Girls.
I also used to like... GASP... country
Till I discovered you can turn a dial on the radio and get better tunes.
-
basically anything i owned before about 9th or 10th grade..
No Doubt (but only because of the complete shite gwen stefani is putting out these days), Spice Girls, Creed, Ace of Base, Blink-182, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Will Smith.. *hangs head in shame* at least i can say i never liked anything that came out of that boyband epidemic known as my 6th grade year..
-
Nelson. But, but, they were cute! And there was one for me and one for my best friend. And they drove 65 Mustangs! and, and, yeah. I'm a dork.
I loved Nelson when I was in third grade. I'd forgotten all about that.
-
I also used to like... GASP... country
I fail to see the problem here.
-
The problem is in the "used to like". That lb969 likes country no more is a sorry state of affairs.
-
I think he means like Tim McGraw and Shania Twain as opposed to, you know, good country.
-
Ace of Base
Yo man, Ace of Base is fucking great!
-
JohnnyC, do you read minds?
Yeah i like GOOD country, like Alabama, Gretchen Wilson, ETC.
Tim McGraw singing with Nellie, That kills it....
Shania Twain dont know WHAT she's singing.
-
do you read minds?
I dabble.
-
regrets: TLC. sublime. oasis. no doubt. green day. cake.
-
Never thought I would see the day when someone would regret listening to sublime.
Only thing I can even consider regretting was my rather unfortunate (in my eyes) techno phase.
-
hey there folks, i can honestly admit that i liked the Insane Clown Posse. im really sorry :(, i only really liked them for their funny music (my fave song of theirs was slim anus (slim anus is a rip off of slim shady))
please dont kill me :(
Man, I still like ICP. And Twiztid and Marz. Anybody Killa and Blaze Ya Dead Homie were both fun live.
Out of all of them, Marz was the best. He used to be the guitar player for Ministry, then started a weird gangsta rap/industrial-ish band. He's also cool because his birth name is Zlatko Hukic. ZLATKO HUKIC!
Pictures exist of my friends and I wearing juggalo make-up before heading to a Twiztid concert. I have extremely fond memories of that night. It ended with us sitting in a camper and getting incredibly stoned.
-
Supreme Beings of Leisure. I loved every track in their first album for 6 months. Now I get a mild feeling of nausea every time I hear Strangelove Addiction in a Starbucks.

yes, i love blur. and pulp. aND (typo) prodigy. and many other songs that have been dissed in this thread- but that's the point! everyone has different tastes- and i love it.
I don't regret this, but it certainly is embarrassing- HANSON.
i have 2 cds, an autobiography, and a video. AND i had a massive thing for Zac, the drummer. strange thing was, i looked exactly like him... proves how girly they were, and what i tom-boy i was!
-
Stereophonics, much like Oasis, started well, and progressively declined from there
Oasis can fuck right off, but I loved the first Stereophonics album. I lost it as well. Which sucked.
-
Ace of Base
Will Smith
Third Eye Blind
I was a pop-manwhore for a while. It's a time of my life I don't like to talk about. I like to think I've improved since then.
-
Theres a lot of bands I used to like, but no longer any more: Marilyn Manson, blink, limp bizkit, green day, the offspring. But its not that I no longer like their old stuff, cause I still do. I can go back and listen to "Kerplunk" from Green Day or "Portait of an American Family" or "Antichrist Superstar" and still love it. I just dont like where these bands progressed musically. I would not be embarrassed to put on "3 Dollar Bill, Y'all" and rock the fuck out, because its an extremely raw and powerful album, whether you like it or not. But did I bother to waste my time on "Chocolate Starfish" or whatever limp bizkit called thier album? No. Good god know.
Wes Borland rocks.
The only thing I can think of that I am actually embarrassed about liking, that If I went back and listened to the stuff I used to like and go "Oh good god, this is terrible", would be Vanilla Ice and TLC. There might be a couple others, if I thought long and hard about it, but I stand firmly behind most everythign I used to listen to, passed the age of 12 (I think Vanilla Ice and TLC might even fall into the age 11 range).
-
Yo man, Ace of Base is fucking great!
Marry me. Right now.
Tim McGraw singing with Nellie, That kills it....
Ok I listened to that song and I insist that they are two entirely different songs that somehow got smashed together to create a disgusting, horrendous sound.
-
Ace of Base is awesome. For serious. I unabashedly listen to them. In public!
-
I still have The Sign. I also have Haddaway's album (the 2nd version) and some stuff by Real McCoy and 2 Unlimited. I still lurve my early 90's dance music.
I think the only band that I could say I regret having liked was Creed. I saw the light shortly after Weathered was released as to how awful a band they were.
But, honestly, you can't tell me that the first time you heard Bullets (off of Weathered), you didn't say "Whoa, that's some decent rock right the....wait, that's Creed? Huh."
-
Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer.... also... Ace of Base, Spice Girls, hmm.... even Limp Bizkit....
I don't really regret liking them, but I'm glad I've moved on to much better things. If I heard any of their songs now, I'd probably yell really loud and sing along. No, I'm not ashamed. Its part of who I am... besides, I have such a crazy taste in music I'll listen to almost anything. This morning I was listening to Gwen Stefani's album. ^_^
-
I can't say I'm really ashamed, but anyway
in 7th and 8th grade I was really into Korn, then there were The All-American Rejects.
then I bought Morningview by Incubus
-
It's not really a regret, as I still do love and/or like a lot of their material, but I'm kinda embarrased nowadays how much I used to like Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir. Even, like, the totally uncool albums. They did both lead me to much greater things though. Especially when I started checking out all the other bands members and past members had been in.
That said, 'Puritania' and 'Scorched Earth Erotica' are on my big old faves playlist, and there they will stay!
-
I have two words that make all you regrets seem like nothing.
Kidz Bop.
-
A friend of mine is for a reason I can not comprehend, really into Kidz Bop stuff.
-
I so used to be into Nu metal...
Korn, Limp Bizkit, all that shit.
Though I don't really regret it because it is what got me out of my little newfie girl teeny bopper stage...
and Wes Boreland is just adorable!
-
i went through the Backstreet Boy/Spice Girl/Hanson phase when i was 13 or 14.. luckily i broke that habit in time to sell those CD's to the hockshop and actually make some money..
now they're used as drink coasters they're so plentiful...
-
Haha, try selling Aquas first ceedee or Chumbawambas Tubthumper...
-
oh my!! i totally forgot about chumbawumba .. there's another that i regret ever spending my allowance on
-
Ohmygosh --CHUMBAWAMBA!!!??????
Please excuse the excessive punctuation---I completely forgot they ever existed. Didn't they have that one album that got popular.....Tubthumper? Or was that the song? =wracks her brains=
-
'Tubthumping', the song, became some kind of lager-lout anthem. One of those strange things really.
-
Strange in the fact they used to be more of a political punk band back in the day? So I've heard, I've never came across any of their older works.
-
Yeah, that's what I've heard
-
My brother has the album with "Tubthumping" on it, and I really don't mind it.
-
i see all their old ceedees in used ceedee places around here, havent actually listened to any of it though...
and Tubthumper is the title track of the ceedee Tubthumper.
Its weird because I have a compilation from AK Press (anarchy bookline) with chumbawamba on it.
-
They were originally something stupid like 'Anarcho-pop' or something.
-
The song is called 'Tubthumping', the album is called 'Tubthumper'
-
They're still pretty anarcho, or at least claim to be. From what I hear 'Tubthumping' was a joke that people ended up taking seriously, but their move to a major label killed off any cred they had in the punk scene, although I hear they're still pretty popular in activist circles. They're playing a benefit gig at the autonomous social centre I'm a member of so I'll get to see what they're like these days soon enough. Oh well, at least Rob Newman's on before them, he's supposed to be great.
-
I regret nothing! Everything I've listened to so far has led me toward my eventual musical eden.
Doesn't mean I'm not ashamed at listening to certain bands though - too ashamed to mention them even now!
-
Ah, that's just it--none of the music I ever listened to /led/ to me what I listen to now.
It was more, my friends force-feeding me their music(pretty bad, seeing as my friends are all into death-metal or J-pop), and then one day, Age showed me The Postal Service. =nods=
-
Actually I regret nothing. I used to listen to very, very bad stuff, but itīs funny now, I donīt have bad feelings about this. For example, there were classics like GunsīnīRoses, Bon Jovi, Blind Guardian and Dimmu Borgir. I also really was into all this really ridiculous goth metal stuff like Theatre Of Tragedy and all of their clones. But well, thatīs just a question of personal development.
-
Yeah, I suppose I can't really regret anything.
It was when I was young and naive.
And as all of you have said, its sort of like fate...
you listen to something that leads you to listen to something else
and it fine tunes your musical tastes and gives you what you have now,
the best musical taste and ceedee collection in existance.
-
Until Coldplay and Radiohead, I was into Nu-Metal. I still love System of a Down, but I don't like Coldplay or the other Nu-Metal bands anymore. XP
And to think, this must have happened in the span of a year or two. I'm only 14, you know.
-
System are actually rather exceptional for nu-metal. I don't think I'd class them with most other nu-metal acts. Indeed, they're not really nu-metal. I still have a soft-spot for them myself.
No picture sigs on this forum btw.
-
I absolutely love System, actually. ^_^
Except for that guitarist, who takes the music too seriously and has those annoying buldgey eyes. What a loser.
-
Good god i had so many. But my main horrendous offence was my obsession with Hanson...yeah i know..
-
My Dad still makes fun of me for that.
Now that I think about it, I never really liked them. I think it was just that they were so popular and he caught me watching them while they were on Nickelodeon. XP
-
Staind
Limp Bizkit
Dr. Dre
P.O.D.
Backstreet Boys
SP-71
-
I still love the spice girls. I hear they're doing a reunion tour. =]
I want to say AFI, but i still have some love for them deep down.
-
system of a down rock...
-
Rammstein, Sum 41, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Puddle of Mudd, *cough*goodcharlotte*cough*. I am very ashamed of my musical past. Then again, this was all through 5th and 7th grade. Then one day I just popped in some nu-metal song, and I thought "Jesus, this song sucks donkey balls." So I stopped listening to them.
-
Alexisonfire... but I still love 'em. God, you can't resist those cute tortured emocore boys... Dallas Green... : )
Whoa... only Dallas is the freaky emokid... Wade = teh h4x on the guitar, and George = win...
For me... no regrets. Sure, there's music I don't listen to anymore, but why bother regretting it? Life's to short to spend time whining about your past tastes...
Hell, I'll still whip out the My Chemical Romance for songs like Headfirst For Halos (I find it exceptionally hilarious)...
(And, for the record, I'm working on my over-use of the ellipsis (...) )
And since everyone is expressing themselves on SOAD lately, System is awesome (particularily Toxicity. It's fun)

system of a down rock...
Wait, who doesn't like System of a Down?
-
chumbawumba, if i'm not mistaken, is comprised of former member(s) of crass, who definitely fit the "anarchist" label. it should also be noted that crass and chumbawumba sound about as similar as the cure and dinosaur jr.s versions of "just like heaven."
i still consider chumbawumba to be legitimate, considering they put out a live album with noam chomsky on the second cd. also (although this is totally hearsay from my standpoint) i heard when they were on the interview circuit of national tv late night shows, they were encouraging watchers/listeners to shoplift the cd rather than give the money to The Man.
none of this, by the way, discounts the fact that "Tubthumping" was responsible for my last radio alarm clock's demise - i threw it against the wall in revulsion after hearing that stupid song EVERY MORNING AT SEVEN AM FOR A MONTH STRAIGHT.
-
Weird, former members of Crass? That's too bands I can vaugely think of (vaugely as I can't even remember the name of the other band at the moment) with former members of Crass.
-
i'm seeing conflicting crap on the internet about it. apparently that loser punk ex boyfriend of mine didn't know everything after all. either people from crass are in chumbawumba, or the two bands combined on a side project, or chumbawumba was just heavily influenced by the crass. i can't sift through the google crap to get to the truth of the matter, and i don't really care at this point in my work day.
uhh...so a band i hate admitting i used to listen to...
i'm going to go with T'Pau on this one. there was some really enormously bad catchy music in the 80s.
i also had a friend who suckered me into listening to her nitty gritty dirt band cassette tape, but i knew that was crap straight off. "fishin' in the dark" made my ears bleed.
-
Conflict may have been the band I am thinking of. A not so quick search does. I am calling it good at that, I can't be bothered to go through the slough of information to look up Chumbawumba.
When I was a little kid I'd get on table top in restraunts and sing and dance to Tina Turner and Michael Jackson.
-
I'm pretty certain Chumbawamba aren't ex-Crass, I've never heard it mentioned anyway and I'm sure it'd have come up somewhere down the line. I know some people who're friends with them (maybe one used to sing for them?), I'll maybe ask next time I see them if I remember.
-
Spice Girls and Voodoo Glow Skulls
I am ashamed.
-
Rammstein, Sum 41, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Puddle of Mudd, *cough*goodcharlotte*cough*.
What's wrong with Rammstein?
-
I useda listen to Voodoo Glow Skulls too. I think when I saw them at Ska Summit, it really snapped that they blew whale cock (also known as dork).
Bands I regret: The Offspring (they were my first band, in 3rd to 5th grade, so sue me.), Static-X, Slipknot, Bad Religion, and The Casualties (I was a little punk and metal whore. Bad punk and metal.)
-
^Hell, even that's not really that bad, tbh.
And yeah, what's wrong with Rammstein?
-
Bands I regret: The Offspring (they were my first band, in 3rd to 5th grade, so sue me.), Static-X, Slipknot, Bad Religion, and The Casualties (I was a little punk and metal whore. Bad punk and metal.)
Why are you regretting Bad Religion?
Casualties, Slipknot, Static-X and Offspring I understand. But Bad Religion?
-
BAD RELIGION ARE AMAZING!!
What are you talking about?!
That is a band who have remained consistently good for longer than I've been alive.
Sure, they had started to wane around the time of 'new america' but then they said 'what the fuck is wrong with us?' and got right back into what they were originally doing.
It's fanstastic...
imagine having Greg Graffin as your father!
COME ON PEOPLE!!!
And yeah, I don't really think Crass have anything to do with Chumbwamba, though that would be great I think.
I love Crass as well.
Im a punk rock princess.
-
Ok, I'll admit that "American Jesus" is a bad-ass song. And there are a few But most of their stuff is too... similar to itself for me. We played a song of theirs in my cover band i was in in 6th grade (we also did up a mean "Iron Man" and a bitchin' version of "Higher Ground"). Can't remember the song's name though.
-
*glances at his collection of Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie albums*
nothing off the top of my head <.<
(edited after remembering that White Zombie is still good, goddamnit.)
-
Man, I'd totally forgotten Rob Zombie.
I just...stopped listening to him one day.
-
Just going back a bit, Chumbawumba were famous for throwing a bucket of water (I think it was water) over John Prescott at the Brit Awards. This may or may not have been the same Brit Awards that Jarvis Cocker mooned Michael Jackson at. I can't quite remember. I'm not sure if there was some relation between Chumbawumba and the KLF (who notoriously filmed themselves burning a million pounds) or if it was just that they were both "anarchists" that has them connected together in my mind. Gotta love Jarvis though.
Oh, it might be because the KLF killed a sheep at the 1992 Brit Awards (or had dead sheep with them - again I don't quite remember).
-
Good god i had so many. But my main horrendous offence was my obsession with Hanson...yeah i know..
And what's wrong with that!?
Me and a few friends danced through our town with 'mmmmm Bop' blasting out of a boom box.
I can only describe it as Outrageously Ghetto...
-
KoRn. i was heavy into korn. and the whole Nu-Metal thing. ugh. hit parader was my bible. then again so was the bible at one point ;)
-
i used to head bang to pearl jam - i think that was the first CD *cough*tape*cough that i really liked.
what was up with alice in chains? i never really liked them but i thought i did because i thought i had to...
-
I don't mind Alice in Chains. In fact, I even kind of like them.
-
meh, i have no qualms with alice in chains. i didn't like them because my friends mom did like them.[/u]
-
Pssh, one of my friends mums likes Therion. Not gonna stop me!
-
BAD RELIGION ARE AMAZING!!

*pat, pat* Oh, you poor, disallusioned soul. I am going to hand you Jawbreaker, Honor System and Mission To Burma's cd and run away without saying anything.
</being an ass>
-
I used to like From Autumn To Ashes around the time of their first album. Actually, that's not so shameful, 'Too Bad You're Beautiful' was at the very least decent. The latter album, however, should cause anyone to be ashamed of liking them.
-

i don't know about 'outrageously ghetto :P
they're coming to tour here soon! soooo tempting!
-
Mission Of Burma
I said it before, and I'll say it again. You. Marry me. Right now.

Keep up the awesome, buddy!

I have two words that make all you regrets seem like nothing.
Kidz Bop.
Those albums are the reason why the hole in the ozone layer keeps getting bigger. They're just not natural.
My mother bought a ripoff of one of those with 'party songs.' It had a ten minute version of The Chicken Dance on it. Whiny little kids singing the exact same thing for TEN MINUTES.
Back to the subject at hand:
In the sixth grade, I bought a Nelly Frutado ( is that how it's spelled?) CD because I heard a popular kid (I think her name was Cece) talking about how cool it was.
I was a very sad little 6th grader.
-
Prozzak, The Moffats, Fatboy Slim.
I was introduced to Green Day, System of a Down, and Bad Religion all by the same guy. He called them "intro-punk." It was a time when the only exposure I had to "music" was what I heard on the radio. If it weren't for those three bands I'd be buying tripe like Nickelback, Creed, or Staind right about now. Everyone here can bash 'em as much as they like, I still listen to them a lot, and they changed the music world for me even if my taste has generally changed a LOT since then.
