THESE FORUMS NOW CLOSED (read only)
Fun Stuff => BAND => Topic started by: pilsner on 10 Dec 2009, 14:01

Simple challenge: find a song that every regular on the forum likes listening to. Not loves necessarily, mind you, likes. That means everyone gets veto over every song. I think a lot of people just stay out of threads that don't interest them rather than contributing the always unhelpful: "Well I think that sounds like shit, what the fuck is wrong with you," so I'm curious if there is any point of convergence in the bizarre ven diagram that is our communal musical tastes.
Also: you don't need to explain why you don't like a song, if you don't like just say so. But hey, go ahead and explain if you want to get it off your chest. There is no bad reason for disliking a song, bad association or overlistening are OK.
Also, also: Bonus points if the song isn't by one of the following bands: The Beatles, Joy Division, the Pixies, and Radiohead.
-
Maybe some Bowie song of Spiders from Mars?
Haven't met anyone who didn't like that album
this one? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jg4ekLG9Zo)

According to a professor of mine, the following song is the single best example of poetry in the English language based on the criteria we was going to spend the next nine weeks teaching the class. It is understandable, cathartic, has common emotional ties everybody can relate to, and a whole host of other shit that I didn't really pay attention to.

I don't think I've met anyone who disliked Johnny Cash.
Also, I bet something like Miles Davis or Beethoven would do well in this kind of thing - just because people are often afraid to express their dislike of jazz or classical out of fear they'll appear uncultured.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqXrq4TqDHg
Prefer this Beatles track.
-
how about that song that's like four minutes of silence?
nothing to object to there

Simple challenge: find a song that every regular on the forum likes listening to. Not loves necessarily, mind you, likes.
And I specifically said that because I knew someone was going to suggest 4'33''.
-
I don't think I've met anyone who disliked Johnny Cash.
Let me change that for you. Vetoed.
Both Beatles songs are fine. I don't love them, but I find them eminently listenable.
I'll second the veto on that John Denver song.
I can tolerate Hockey Monkey.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgUs7yWnDJ8
First the intro killed it, but I let that pass me by. Then the vocals killed it again.
-
I seriously love that song. I'm going to pretend you meant "killed it" in a good way.
-
So despite the fact that I really did have a professor who called Sunshine On My Shoulders the best piece of poetry, blah blah blah, I was joking.
We also all know this a fool's errand right? Someone will veto everything just to be contrary. Anyway, I can't believe we got more than 3 replies without this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9TGj2jrJk8

Noooooooooooooooooooooo
The bassline copied 'round the world (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQvUBf5l7Vw). Ignore the cuts of Trainspotting dialogue and all that.
-

Got 2 seconds in.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCjpbjCH5L0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCjpbjCH5L0)
I got up to whatever brass instrument they used.
-
If you're going to veto something, you should probably quote or shit is going to get confusing
-
That's an incredible song but will it appease the metalheads?
If we're speaking about the beatles track, I have no problem with it. The Beatles were the first band I ever was a fan of, though, so I probably don't speak for everybody. Khar, for example, will probably veto everything in here and post Anal Cunt.
-
Didn't Khar once posted the "Helter Skelter" cover that Siouxsies and the Banshees did? I'm pretty sure he did.
-
I apologize for the video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjHQD8HEUeg&feature=related)

-
This might have worked better a couple years ago...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psGvJX8m8SI
they're really hard to dislike
i've never met anyone who didn't like at least one song by this group, metalheads like it because it's kind of actually good, the rest of us like it because it's silly and still catchy
-
Actually I never really liked the Beatles. I don't really find it offensive, I just don't think it's that great.
-
not even "Fixing A Hole" ?:?
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggBQC52SLis
Simple. Groovy bassline. Skronky guitars. Goofy lyrics.
Edit: You're reaching for songs someone might like even if the don't like the Beatles, and your pick is "Fixing a Hole"?
(http://www.memedepot.com/uploads/0/207_not_sure_if_serious.jpg)
-
Delta 5 works for me.
Could anybody dislike Search And Destroy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKYALsp-sIg
I apologize for the video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjHQD8HEUeg&feature=related)
No.
-
Dethklok pisses me off just because there is an entire community of metalheads my age now who take them seriously.
As in, they buy Dethklok merch and listen to Dethklok albums.
They're a joke, and a joke that makes irritating music at that.
Avec, that is one of my least favorite Belle & Sebastian songs but please never feel the need to apologize for that video.
As for a song, I'm just sayin' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abNc1gLig3s)
-
Once you get over the vicious stigma (and believe me this took me some time), they are rather enjoyable.
I guarantee you that at the very least, the half of this forum that wants to suck off John Darnielle will agree.
Maybe even the 25% that would rather blow Andrew Bird.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IzLDT73bkk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IzLDT73bkk)
C'mon, man. It's Opeth.
-
While I don't totally loathe Vampire Weekend, there are virtually no circumstances under which I would choose to listen to them, or that song. And it's not even a song that say, I would enjoy if a friend happened to play it, I would be totally ambivalent. Or mildly annoyed. But not terribly annoyed.
But Tommy's already vetoed, so the point is moot.
-
C'mon, man. It's Opeth.
And Opeth are shite, so no.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggBQC52SLis
Simple. Groovy bassline. Skronky guitars. Goofy lyrics.
This is a good suggestion.
I am trying to pick a song by the Fall but I don't think it would go over well.
-
I guarantee you that at the very least, the half of this forum that wants to suck off John Darnielle will agree.
Sorry Gene.
No.
-
@michaelicious
Maybe Last Orders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRBllsJGARs&feature=player_embedded)? But I feel like Mark E. Smith's voice would annoy some people regardless, so the Fall might be out altogether.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggBQC52SLis
Simple. Groovy bassline. Skronky guitars. Goofy lyrics.
This is a good suggestion.
I can dig it.
also, what the fuck does skronky mean? I like the sound of that word.
-
Yeah I think maybe a big part of the Fall's appeal is that they are a bit offensive. I was trying to find one of their more accessible songs, but I can't deny the punk as fuckness of "Last Orders".
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WHe5fxS3dA
-
I dunno, maybe a song from the new Torche album would work? They are both heavy and poppy as fuck at the same time.
-
Skronky is a word I tend to use more by feel than by virtue of actually being able to define it, but being prompted this the best I can come up with. A sound that is skronky is a mid-to-high pitched and mildly dissonant, but not so dissonant as to be truly off-putting.

Guys, I think this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5886Nb_psg) has a huge cross-genre appeal
-
Welp, so much for that suggestion then. This is difficult.
Also, is it possible to un-veto? Because I would do that to Christophe's post.
YOU NEVER SAID THIS WOULD BE EASYYYYYYYYY
-
Poupée de cire, poupée de son (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b46d_zk5CKI)?
-
Christophe, I was really expecting Chuggo from you.
-
Poupée de cire, poupée de son (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b46d_zk5CKI)?
Nice
-
I want to mention REM, but I don't know which song to pick.
-
Christophe, I was really expecting Chuggo from you.
Ehh, it was expected which was exactly I went for the Attack! first.
I'm sure Lakeshore Boulevard's Most Wanted will make its way to the thread somehow.
-
So... Attack Attack!?
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgTJtdn6VjM
Not their best work ever but if the combination of the song and seeing J Mascis ride a skateboard doesn't make you happy there's just no helping you.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKfBJMIANsM
Has anyone actually vetoed 'Helter Skelter' though?
-
KvP said he didn't think The Beatles were that great but didn't comment specifically on the song so I'm not sure. Also, Search & Destroy has had nothing bad said of it, which makes sense to me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCNTYi9fHuo
You should have linked the uncensored version of that video (http://espanol.video.yahoo.com/watch/5393076/14206642) (NSFW) if you wanted to get everyone onboard.
Can anyone not like this song?

But they have a perfectly mixed ratio of melody and guitar wanking!

I have to side with Tommy here.

How about Lady Day?
I'm just checking to see if you have a soul.

But do you hate them?
-
I wouldn't say I hate them, but I do not like anything at about them, even a little bit, even for a second.
edited for redundancy
-
As for Opeth and Vampire Weekend - come on, guys. Let's at least try not to make this into a thread where we wave our music taste like flags/penises. It's really really obvious that someone is gonna veto both those suggestions, isn't it?
Vampire Weekend isn't a personal taste of mine, they're just a really inoffensive band! They're poppy and safe. Which brings me to my next point:
As long as their singer still draws breath, I will not even acknowledge his bandmates as human beings, let alone as musicians.
Jeez dude, that's fucking harsh. I can understand a dislike of them but what about their music is so awful that you would go to such lengths to insult them?
Billie Holiday is gonna get vetoed on account of not everyone likes blues and jazz. Though personally I find her wonderful.
Do the members of Dinosaur Jr. actually have mad skateboarding/BMX skills or are those well-placed stunt doubles?
-
here's a hint
I'm just checking to see if you have a soul.
(he never found it)
-
One of Jesu's poppier songs, maybe? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozs3lHAXvIU)
-
People aren't thinking hard enough before posting.
You have to try to appeal to the pop music fans, the indie rock types and the metalheads.
I DID take those into consideration. I just failed at it, apparently!
-
hey guys everybody loves the kidcrash! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBoDQbvnyIY)
-
Wow that was really annoying.
-
Do the members of Dinosaur Jr. actually have mad skateboarding/BMX skills or are those well-placed stunt doubles?
"Skate double Kyle Leeper www.blacklabelskates.com
Bike doubles Kenny Horton and Joel Barnett www.fbmbmx.com"
That's in the info on the side.
-
Thank you. I generally make a point of checking YouTube info before asking things but this time it slipped my mind.
That's a little disappointing.
New Suggestion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi_XLOBDo_Y).
We could spend hours arguing over which song is better but I feel like the general direction makes sense? I'm surprised no one has tried this yet.
-

yr opinion has been discredited forever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OeIzFLqwwE

-
I was so thinking about posting the kinks. Honest.
Here's another one that I think everyone secretly sings along to when nobody is looking.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0XAI-PFQcA
-
Alright, let's try some non-Beatles this time:
The Three Degrees - The Runner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eO0atYnZUU)
-
I hate to complain, but guys, do you mind noting what video you are linking? I can't watch several of these videos because I live in a dumb country (copyright restrictions), but chances are fairly high I have heard the song already anyway.
Such is the joy of unmarked youtubes, dude.
-
Ahem (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSEST-oQH68)
-
I have no idea if this has been said, but isn't this song very much loved by all?
The Pogues - Fairytale of New York (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLb213lak5s&feature=related)
-
well, not by all. pretty sure there was alot of fuss over him saying "You cheap lousy faggot".
-
gene did you not notice "j"'s bright silver wig?
(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1883/00054ca7ffb14a8279eff85.jpg)
-
Also, Search & Destroy has had nothing bad said of it, which makes sense to me.
Did someone link Search & Destroy? I linked Lust For Life, which is a perfect song in my estimation.
Speaking of which LUST FOR LIFE WEEKEND NEXT WEEK (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=192873882218&ref=ts#/ical/event.php?eid=192873882218). BE THERE.
-
I'm vetoing everything that's not Iggy Pop, the Beatles or french.
You have pretty much got to be asexual not to like Bonnie and Clyde. Helter Skelter and Lust for Life are also hard to argue with.
How about
PARANOID (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkGVVbU1jwg)
-
Breaking the law breaking the law breaking the law (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psTUiQzNoxw)

The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove by Dead Can Dace
(sorry it's a live version, youtube won't let you put up the album version)
-
karl gambolputty: Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the devil
KharBevNor: Black Sabbath - Paranoid
KharBevNor: Judas Priest - Breaking the law
vetoed
-
What the fuck is wrong with you.
-
Maybe his mother was the tester in a desert meth lab.
-
KvP: Iggy Pop - Lust for Life
vetoed
-
Aww man. I guess "Mind Your Own Business" lasted longer than I expected. Also, has anyone technically vetoed "Fight the Power"? I know Khar sort of blanket vetoed but for Public Enemy I insist he confirm else it don't count.
edit: I'm not gonna lie, the_pied_piper, but kneejerk reaction to your veto of "Lust for Life" was something to the effect of
FUCK YOU
But you should know it's not personal. It actually kind of surprised me how much fury was in that second it took me to read it before my brain kicked in.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUmq1cpcglQ
-
KvP: Iggy Pop - Lust for Life
vetoed
You better watch your face, because it is going to get cut.
By me.
-
Aww man. I guess "Mind Your Own Business" lasted longer than I expected. Also, has anyone technically vetoed "Fight the Power"? I know Khar sort of blanket vetoed but for Public Enemy I insist he confirm else it don't count.
Yeah I'm gonna veto that. Never really dug PE much.
-
Maybe his mother was the tester in a desert meth lab.
Actually I'd probably enjoy Judas Priest if this were true.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUmq1cpcglQ
That music was in a french TV spot (directed by Jean-Paul Goude) for Chanel's perfume "Egoiste"
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHA
AHAHeheh...heh.
-
How the fucking shit can you not like Breaking the Law.
it's not even a question of liking Judas Priest.
-
When we can't figure out the song, you must Whip It. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbt30UnzRWw)
-
mm, Breaking the Law sounds nothing like any of the other songs Judas Priest is famous for, so yeah.
also no one has vetoed Dead can Dance yet. cool.
-

Huh, so Meth does have positive attributes.

Wait a second what about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCmUhYSr-e4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCmUhYSr-e4)
-
also no one has vetoed Dead can Dance yet. cool.
I didn't notice that! Which one was it? If I accidentally blanket vetoed it I unveto it.
-
The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove. copyright stuff meant it had to be a live video.
-
Wouldn't have been my choice but that is
(http://www.lipsticktracez.com/reggie/2008/10/18/speegle_ok500_artworkimage-thumb-500x341.jpg)
-
So what's still in? Serge Gainsbourg and The Beatles are my current favourites.
-
Search and Destroy is still in. There're a few still on this page neither affirmed nor vetoed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o129hlTQ1tQ
-
How can you veto Paranoid and Breakin' the Law? You know that people go to jail for less than that?
-
I'm doing some quality control. Vetoing everything except The Beatles, Serge, France Gall, Dead Can Dance, Kraftwerk, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Prokofiev and Devo
These are now all that is in the race, BITCHES.
-
Everyone in this thread is thinking inside such a tiny little box that I'm surprised any of your brains can still breathe.
Here is "Every Day I have the Blues" by Count Basie with Joe Williams:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNKk6gmqhkg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNKk6gmqhkg)
Listening to it is like being taken for a cruise in a perfectly-restored vintage Jaguar or Rolls Royce. This is one of those rare occasions where if you don't like something your opinion is demonstrably and factually incorrect.
-
Ok I'm putting this up for consideration: clicky (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwVqOs3Aess)
-
Screw blanket vetos, if you ain't going to take the time to do each individually why even bother?
Little Wing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nePm-L0aa-E)
-
Man Khar I know you are from Far Away but it just takes some suspension of disbelief for me to dig that somebody doesn't like Otis Redding. Like, I saw it coming, but I didn't believe it, so I had to try it anyway.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggBQC52SLis
Simple. Groovy bassline. Skronky guitars. Goofy lyrics.
This is a good suggestion.
I can dig it.
also, what the fuck does skronky mean? I like the sound of that word.
The only time I heard 'skronk' was in an interview with White Zombie's J., if that tells you anything.
Whoa hey where did those last few pages pop up haha did not SEE YOU THERE.
-
aw, I actually quite like that Otis Redding song. oh well.
also
Underground is probably my favourite David Bowie song.
-
Screw blanket vetos, if you ain't going to take the time to do each individually why even bother?
Because I fucking CAN, dicknuts.
That Otis Redding song basically did nothing for me, sorry.
-
Everyone in this thread is thinking inside such a tiny little box that I'm surprised any of your brains can still breathe.
I did link Summertime.
-
When we can't figure out the song, you must Whip It. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbt30UnzRWw)
jesus christ fucking veto
I love this song but I can no longer stand it.
Also vetoing France Gall because I find her annoying and Edith Piaf is more talented.
Harry, I haven't even tried jazz and blues because it seems to be the first thing to go for a certain type of indie rock fans and most metalheads.
Also nobody vetoed Billie Jean yet. And fuck you Khar you can't blanket that.
-
I did link Summertime.
Yeah, but "Summertime" is such an over-played song. It's like the "Yesterday" of the jazz world.
-
that's the point
-
If you're gonna do jazz it's gotta be Ain't Misbehavin' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Wwhe9Hx_w).

Boring. Veto.
We're thinking inside the box because there is only gonna be a narrow crossover box. I could start posting AMM and Sutcliffe Jugend and John Dowland and whatever but no one else would like it.
-
I kind of want to say Locomotive Breath. The Jethro Tull song. Jazzy intro, early metal-ish, what's not to like?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCcwNoVSt2E
-
Well, if people are posting jazzy stuff, I say this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZEq8H8cTNc)
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hajBdDM2qdg
-
We're thinking inside the box because there is only gonna be a narrow crossover box.
That literally makes no sense at all to me. We're limiting ourself to a tiny, tiny cross-section of human music to try to appeal to as broad a range of people as possible? Then what the fuck is even the point of this thread?
Incidentally Khar, at this stage with all your vetoing in this thread I'm starting to feel like you're the Russia or China to the music sub-forum's U.N. General Assembly.
-
If we're talking about overplayed but excellent jazz here is my contribution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiVDzTT4CbE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiVDzTT4CbE)
And I veto the Jethro Tull song.
-
I don't care if Locomotive Breath gets vetoed I'm posting this too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrId8xH2gh8
-
Incidentally Khar, at this stage with all your vetoing in this thread I'm starting to feel like you're the Russia or China to the music sub-forum's U.N. General Assembly.
Not really. I only did those blanket bans because like, nobody had vetoed stuff like Cartman singing Poker Face.
-
Also De_El if you're going to try winning people over to Otis Redding (a Good and Admirable cause) why use arguably the least soul-like of all his songs? I'd have gone for something like "You Don't Miss Your Water (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dHaMV_eXko)", except that I know people are going to Veto it as Boring because it doesn't have slammin' guitar solos or it's slow or they can only stand to listen to a song for ten seconds before passing summary judgement on it or because it's not cutting edge or whatever the hell else is going on in this increasingly pointless thread.
-
Screw blanket vetos, if you ain't going to take the time to do each individually why even bother?
Because I fucking CAN, dicknuts.
Well considering you haven't even looked at all the songs that you vetoed that is pretty stupid.
-
Harry, I picked "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" because previous to this exchange no one I know has ever professed to disliking it.
-
I have to get a digital copy of Aqualung now. I need to get most of Tull's stuff on my computer, I have like 15 vinyl records but nothing on this computer. Oh man, I know what to raid next time I'm at a loss for what ot download next.
What would be a good CCR song? I've never met anyone that doesn't like Creedence.
-
I'm not gonna veto stuff that doesn't have guitar solos. That is a huge missaprehension as to what I like in music.

I think Minstrel in the Gallery is better than Aqualung.

I don't know if that was actually aimed at anyone in particular so much as his frustration at his idea of other people's short attention spans.

Truuuuthfully (and more seriously), I haven't listened to many Jethro Tull albums as in depth as I would have liked. Thick as a Brick is a pretty notable exception, though.
Fortunate Son?

you're so cool but you know that (http://www.box.net/shared/kfuthfh85h)
i didn't try very hard to appease the people who enjoy different genres but i legitimately have never met anyone in my life who didn't like this record so now i'm posting just out of curiosity to see who ends up vetoing this and why
(i promise i won't find where you live and kill you)
(maybe)

I feel like if we're actually serious about getting a result out of this thread then maybe we need to be more methodical about it. So far everyone's posting songs they like and assuming everyone else is going to like them, but frankly we're never going to get anywhere doing that because there are just too many songs. So maybe everyone who's participating in this thread should give some idea as to what they like in a piece of music, so that we know what to look for?
Here's me: I like a very large range of music, but I really don't like anything much by way of metal, post-Sabbath. I like something where I can clearly hear all the different instruments, and the interplay between them. I'm not overly keen on most dancefloor-oriented electronic music because I find the repetitiveness of it boring and pointless. If something has Real Instruments actually being played by people it's going to increase my likelihood of enjoying it exponentially. I don't care if a piece of music doesn't have a vocal component. I like fast music and slow music pretty much equally. If the piece of music does have vocals, the lyrics have to be at least as good or as interesting as the music. As has been pointed out to me elsewhere, I tend to prefer music that was made by black people who are now dead.
Speaking of which: here's "Zombie" by Fela Kuti. You probably won't listen to it because it's an edited version and it still goes for ten minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBgewcFh-cg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBgewcFh-cg)

I have a weird relationship with Sloan's music. I started off disliking them automatically because my brother, who is an ass with otherwise terrible taste in music, used to like them a few years back.
I can't honestly say that I dislike this song though, now that I actually listen to it with an open mind.

1/3 of the songs in this thread I like, 1/3 are like a perfectly good car I sold to a stranger, and 1/3 I don't like.

I dunno, I probably missed some posts so please correct any mistakes in the lists.

So far everyone's posting songs they like and assuming everyone else is going to like them, but frankly we're never going to get anywhere doing that because there are just too many songs.
If that was the case you'd all be up to your asses in mainstream industrial music already. I grabbed the two I did because I figured they'd span a pretty good range and I'm really curious who doesn't like CCR. I mean. Really.
-
At the very least, if we're going to get anywhere think we're gonna have to slow down. Or maybe not, I dunno. I've either listened to or already known whether or not I like every song posted so far...I guess I'm just saying that I would be really surprised if no one vetoed any of the songs in this latest flurry of suggestions, but we're posting songs too quickly for people to hate on them and comment on why.
Edit: Spluff, Gene vetoed Whip It and John KVP vetoed Stairway.
Edit2: and scarred vetoed Sympathy for the Devil.
-
I mainly listen to neo-folk, chanson, deathrock, renaissance music, dream pop, black metal, psychobilly, power electronics, new wave, folk metal, calypso, crust punk, ethereal, surf rock, no wave, prog rock and dub, but sometimes I listen to death industrial, ambient, futurepop, space rock, free jazz, acid folk, goth rock, technical death metal, oi, 20th century classical, 60's instrumental rock, old school industrial, minimal wave, krautrock, darkwave and noisecore.
Sometimes I listen to other things.
Sometimes I listen to nothing.
-
Spluff: Flipper was kind of a joke nomination (although if nobody vetoes it that would be OK by me), chuck Sam Cooke (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAQE-tHjPAc) in yr list
-
Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sIjSNTS7Fs)
-
Bring it On Home to Me by Sam Cooke (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAQE-tHjPAc)
I like the way you think! I considered posting the version of "Chain Gang" from the same album (One Night Stand: Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963, for anyone who doesn't know. Get it.). The problem is that what might reasonably be thought of as the "official" versions, that is the studio recordings, of Sam Cooke's songs are much more polished, pop-oriented affairs which will appeal to a much smaller number of people, I think. Which raises a question: do we consider all versions of a particular song by a given artist? Or are we explicitly saying "this version and this version only"?
-
How does everyone feel about the Penguin Cafe Orchestra?
-
Lord Invader - Rum and Coca Cola (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMWUF3LYd88)
-
Harry that Cooke song is my go-to whenever I feel down. I like to put it on at the bar I do sound at and watch people smile.
-
It's nearly unassailable. And One Night Stand is infinitely better than studio Sam Cooke.
-
Adjusted; the contents of the list is actually pretty surprising (some of the things on there I didn't even bother nominating because I figured it would get vetoed immediately). I guess the most popular songs on the forum are also the ones that inspire the most hate (and hence get struck down quickly), whereas the lesser discussed ones are generally met by indifference by the rest of the forum?

Not Fogerty! Not Fogerty! Noo!

Man, you guys are vetoing some fantastic stuff in large swathes. What don't you like about some of it?
-
im thinking maybe you guys are gonna come to a conclusion in like, 50 pages.
ill start vetoing once this list gets smaller. its gonna be fun!
-
I'm not sure if I want to nominate the original (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_Hx6F2cTzA&feature=related) or this version by the Brothers Johnson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_esbWUWe2Yw) but either way Strawberry Letter 23 deserves consideration.
-

Man anything but that! Sorry Dovey, vetoed for the lyrics of the opening verse, which I think are really terrible. I mean really:
"I don't believe in an interventionist God
. . .
But if I did I'd kneal down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you."

Love P-Funk but fuck this song. Veto

I'll oblige you.
I love Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized but neither are candidates for the Least Offensive Music in the World.

Silver Apples - Program (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1knVQEkEElM)
I really like this! Every time it seemed like it was going to start getting boring and repetetive it changed up. I didn't like the silly druggy psychedelic 60s lyrics much ("the flame is its own reflection", whatever you say fella) but that's not enough for me to veto it.
-
Me.
-
In place of "Into My Arms" I propose either "Stranger Than Kindness" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW9oe5LLYwo) or "Nobody's Baby Now" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7yq74GXpUA).
And in place of "Tear the Roof Off the Sucka" I recommend "Night of the Thumpasaurus Peoples" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1DY2FFeqbE)

I can listen to approximately 1 Queen song every 6 months without finding them annoying.

What Is Hip? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN8pWdZhVaM)
If someone vetoes this, I'm really going to need a reason. I don't currently know how it would be possible not to enjoy this song.
Also, keep in mind that we're not trying to find the perfect song, or a song that we love.
-
now I'm curious

Skyclad - Great Blow For a Day Job
-
What Is Hip? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN8pWdZhVaM)
ugh
-
What don't you like about it? Is it the fact that it grooves really hard? Maybe how tight and energetic the horns are?
-
Is that the Blues Brothers/MGs horns in that clip? I swear I recognise some of those dudes.
-

Both of these things, and the guy's voice is pretty grating.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZh8fPKsOQc
Fuck I love this song. I've heard it at least once a week for a year and a half now (it's another favourite for putting on at work) and I always notice something new about it.

Einsturzende Neubauten - Lets Do It a Dada (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR0P6vUnnaQ)
-
All I can think of everytime I see this thread title is Coldplay.
I mean, who can really get up in a ruffle over Coldplay? Seriously? Even if you don't like them it's kind of hard to hate them with a seething passion. It's pretty easy to just go 'meh' and feel nothing over them.
Holy fuck that Skyclad song is amazing.
-
Is that the Blues Brothers/MGs horns in that clip? I swear I recognise some of those dudes.
The Tower of Power horns have done a lot of session work as a group. Still, most of the Blues Brothers' musicians came from the SNL band, so it's unlikely that there was much crossover.
Both of these things, and the guy's voice is pretty grating.
So, you dislike well-executed music? The guy's voice is unfortunately grating. It's the best version I could find online (the album version is brilliant, plus there's a live version they put out with a best of collection that is good).

What?
Coldplay are probably one of the most disliked bands in the world (well disliked by hip people anyway since they still manage to sell millions of records) because of their blandness.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5nhxKAx9xM
-
BB, I was really enjoying "What Is Hip?" for the first 3 minutes until it hit the organ solo. That went on for a little too long, and then I felt like the song just should have ended before it.
-
But did it kill the song for you? So many people are vetoing stuff for kind of disliking minor parts of songs, I feel.

No I thought the point was if you liked the song as a whole, you wouldn't veto it.
-
Coldplay are probably one of the most disliked bands in the world because it's hip to hate Coldplay.
FYP
They're not the greatest thing since sliced bread but they have a couple decent tunes per album.

That's a joke, right? Apart from their music being so bland that it brings tears to the eyes the singer is an annoying wanker too.

I beg to differ
-

I guess, but doing it that way would probably leave us with a list as long as my arm. Do we want that? I don't know! This thread is kind of nebulous and whacky!
-
No I thought the point was if you liked the song as a whole, you wouldn't veto it.
That was, in fact, the impression I was under. Hell, I haven't vetoed some songs that I've had strong opinions on sections of, because I didn't dislike the song as a whole. If we're not doing it that way, then I need to know.
Also, I found this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5nhxKAx9xM
Unlistenable. It was really boring, I could barely make it out, and the tempo seemed nonexistent.
-
I assumed we were trying to at least sort of narrow down the list.
-
This was why I thought that people only needed to like a song as a whole:
Simple challenge: find a song that every regular on the forum likes listening to. Not loves necessarily, mind you, likes.
-
Okay, then, I'll put it as a personal opinion: I have pretty much no feeling on Coldplay. I like a few of their songs from when I was younger and still listened to pop radio and enjoyed it (Rush of Blood the Head, that timeframe), but other than that it's just like...okay. It's there. It provokes no reaction, good or bad.

probably helps if you nominated it specifically

It's funny to watch the trend emerge that as a community of young white people, we are most apprehensive about vetoing old school classics made by black artists.

I was going to make a comment to that effect but realised that I was probably more guilty of it than anyone else.
Seriously considering re-nominating Sam Cooke because I feel that strongly about it.

Maybe it's because they are all good songs

Duke Ellington - C Jam Blues (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOlpcJhNyDI). Short, not repetitive but not overly complex (12-bar blues IIRC, but with almost constant improvisation from someone), no screwy use of instruments, seems like even if people don't love it, few people won't dislike it.
Why am I nominating something that is an old school classic by a black guy? Because if I posted Schoenberg, Webern, or Berg in here I'm pretty sure you uncultured jerks would veto it immediately. Learn to love the atonality.
-
Dang I really wanted to listen to cultured music. Oh well
-
Tongue was in cheek there. Schoenberg and his students made some very inaccessible music, I don't know anyone else that likes them, although I haven't really spoken to many people about expressionist music.
-
Yeah, hard to be inoffensive if you're inaccessible. Moondog would get love on here though.
-
That one Moondog tune that was posted in this thread earlier was pretty good.
-

posted a link dogg what more am i supposed to do!
-
Oops disregard me sean I don't know what I'm talking about
-
"Lovers in Japan."
Which one? or both?
The album version, but only when it doesn't include "Reign of Love." So, not the nearly 7 minute one.
-
Aqualung. Anyone who doesn't like that man's flute talent can get a fist in the nose :x
-
Vetoing Spiritualized for a shit reason.
Man, that wasn't a legit reason at all.

?
Also: I sponsor the Skyclad song. Skyclad is awesome. Well, wás awesome. Anyway. That track is awesome.
-
NEW LIST YOU COCKS
Hendrix - Little Wing
Bowie - Starman, Space Oddity, Rock n Roll Suicide
Sex Bomb by Flipper
Crippled Black Phoenix - Burnt Reynolds
Veto. I feel like there must be some Bowie I'll like somewhere in his catalogue but none of those are working for me, and Flipper get a veto for being far more boring than they should be.
-
Aqualung. Anyone who doesn't like that man's flute talent can get a fist in the nose :x
Veto because my dad played that record over and over and that is about the same as getting a fist in the nose
-
Yes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ6cw_MuTDE
-
Veto. I hate Disney.
-
Well yeah but Jeremy Irons is awesome
-
Meh. Nowhere near awesome enough to save some Disney shite.
-
I was going to make a comment to that effect but realised that I was probably more guilty of it than anyone else.
Seriously considering re-nominating Sam Cooke because I feel that strongly about it.
Shouldn't have vetoed Lord Invader then should you, cockmunch?
That said I really didn't find anything in that song to latch on to.
-
Aqualung. Anyone who doesn't like that man's flute talent can get a fist in the nose :x
They already vetoed Locomotive Breath. Aqualung (the song, anyways) doesn't even have flute.
-
It's funny to watch the trend emerge that as a community of young white people, we are most apprehensive about vetoing old school classics made by black artists.
Nobody's been apprehensive about vetoing at all and for terrible reasons, which is why this thread is both an excellent social experiment and a great resource for my Chump Rolodex.
-
It's funny to watch the trend emerge that as a community of young white people
:x
-
I was going to veto all the Bowie, but A Pack of Wolves took care of it for me, so I'll just go ahead and veto Girl Talk, because fuck Girl Talk.
also, I absolutely love Son House, so thanks for posting that.
I think we should stop posting songs for awhile so we can narrow down the list we have.
also, fuck that Shivaree shit
-
How about no more nominating songs until people have a chance to catch up?
-
Johnny C thinks people who disagree with him on matters of musical taste are subhuman.
He's the Lyndon Larouche of the QC forums.
-
How about no more nominating songs until people have a chance to catch up?
exactly. and we'll know when people have caught up when the list is significantly pared down
-
Whoops. Are we officially looking at what's already here?
-
We are for now. I doubt anyone's suggesting that no more songs can be suggested at some point in the future, just that we give it a rest while we cull some of the current herd.
-
Nobody ever vetoed 'Bonnie and Clyde' and yet it is not on that list and that is a silly thing to have happen.
-
Johnny C thinks people who disagree with him on matters of musical taste are subhuman.
Actually I think a bunch of people are just nerfing songs because those songs aren't their favourites, not because they don't like them in some way, which is Hells Of Chumpy.
-
It's not about whether you dislike something, it's about whether you do like it. Subtle but important distinction. I've only vetoed stuff I do not like.
-
did anyone ever specifically veto Lady Day?
-
Poupée de cire, poupée de son (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b46d_zk5CKI)?
If this one got vetoed then surely this is a more palatable alternative: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwVkmd2TWig
-
Look I know we were supposed to stop but
Scott Walker - Seventh Seal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMUk1R_fKEA)
-
If this one got vetoed then surely this is a more palatable alternative: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwVkmd2TWig
I was almost 100% positive that you were going to link to the Arcade Fire cover of Poupée de Cire
-
did anyone ever specifically veto Lady Day?
I am a terrible list maker. Sorry!
-
i don't at this minute have time to trawl through all the pages of this thread, but in the event that they haven't already been suggested, how about these:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsmQB0pAC3c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsmQB0pAC3c) - because everyone likes partying.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABV8oIDecyo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABV8oIDecyo) - because surely nobody can truly hate the drifters (although i may be biased as i heard it ALL the time in the car as a child and grew to love all their stuff).
-
CCR. Everyone likes CCR.
-
Already been vetoed once for some dumb reason
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsmQB0pAC3c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsmQB0pAC3c) - because everyone likes partying.
Vetoed to hell and back, can't stand Andrew WK.
-
Andrew WK and CCR? Least offensive?
I'm going to nominate Electric Worry by Clutch. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx6FV2qR2TY&feature=fvst) Not really a personal favorate, but it is pretty far from offensive. It sort of bridges a generation gap too, I can imagine a lot of peoples' dads rocking out to this, but it does not sound old or dated at all.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAMmGl3t6dY&feature=related
You tell me this song's too long, I'll punch you.
-
It's too long.
-
It's fucking Ted Nugent for fucks sake
FYP
-
I'm going to take swimming lessons, Khar. Then I will swim across the ocean and punch you.
After which, because you always seem like a rad dude, we'll drink a few beers.
-
I dunno, maybe a song from the new Torche album would work? They are both heavy and poppy as fuck at the same time.
Why did the thread even continue after this?
Anyways, my idea:

I'm going to take swimming lessons, Khar. Then I will swim across the ocean and punch you.
After which, because you always seem like a rad dude, we'll drink a few beers.
Is this about WK or Nugent?
-
Yeah, surely it's me who should be being punched :-D
I wasn't actually vetoing the song. I find it perfectly tolerable, even quite good in parts. :angel:
-
Probably Nugent.
Shane why would you do a thing like be okay with Ted Nugent?
-
CCR. Everyone likes CCR.
I thought the same thing....I used to have dreams...
-
no one is trying to accomplish anything in this thread. they're just linking to songs they like. also I don't think people are reading the thread. can we at least try?

(http://www.empireonline.com/images/features/100greatestcharacters/photos/10.jpg)
All Nick Cave songs.
-
C'mon, even "Red Right Hand"?
Also, I second the veto on the Cranberries' "Zombie". I know I don't need to, but I want to. It is a terrible terrible song by a band who should have stuck to writing pretty jangly lovelorn pop songs.
-
Updated list (including Harry's Duke Ellington switcheroo):

Clutch - "Electric Worry"
Muddy Waters- Champagne and Reefer
-
I'm going to have to be a dick and veto that Duke Ellington song just because I've always found it pretty unexciting compared to most of his other famous compositions of the same period. As a compensation I'll offer "Ko-Ko" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clJb8mC4WzA) and "Cottontail (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqmgVOc-K1Q)". I'd really love to suggest "Concerto for Cootie" but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a YouTube video for it.
-
michael why did you have to break my heart.
-
I'm also going to be an uncultured hick and veto Ride of the Valkyries, even though it's a classic, as it is massively overplayed and conjures up memories of some awful, awful advertisements for me (not to mention "kill the wabbit").
C'mon, even "Red Right Hand"?
Actually, I wouldn't veto that. It's tolerable.
As an aside, does anybody else think Marlon Brando is busting out his air guitar chops in that photo?
-
Veto wagner, kraftwerk and iggy pop.
No need for those particular forms of excessive boredom.
-
Veto wagner, kraftwerk.
No need for those particular forms of excessive boredom.
You're boring.
-
Vetoing Muddy Waters, Ella Fitzgerald, Otis Redding, Nick Drake, France Gall, Scott Walker, The Drifters and Son House on account of being painfully boring.
Vetoing Clutch because they're awful.
Vetoing Fela Kuti & Afrika 70 for being long and boring.
Beatles - Helter Skelter
Fats Waller - Ain't Misbehavin'
Moondog - Lament I "Bird's Lament"
Duke Ellington - Ko-Ko
Duke Ellington - Cottontail
-
Veto wagner, kraftwerk.
No need for those particular forms of excessive boredom.
You're boring.
Probably. But less so than Kraftwerk.
-
Oh so there's enough stuff been vetoed that it's actually worth suggesting things again
Agalloch- Limbs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIzoyPfPKO4) (I figure it's got appeal to metalheads and people who like shoegaze plus the opening feedbacky-part and then the first chord progression are basically unimpeachable)
Bruce Springsteen- Thunder Road beautiful amazing live version with just piano & vox (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIzoyPfPKO4) + album version with full band (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsJsjaYm03E&feature=related) (I know there are certain people who will veto Springsteen immediately on principle but hey fuck you guys)
The Gaslight Anthem- Great Expectations (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2Leo9HSaGQ&feature=player_embedded)
-
I don't think a lot of people here really like this whole 'music' thing.
-
I don't think "Jesu- Losing Streak" ever got vetoed.
Unless somebody would like to veto it now.
-
I don't think a lot of people here really like this whole 'music' thing.
I love how this thread has basically become a way for people to feel superior to other board members.
-
Come on man some dude vetoed Scott fucking Walker!
-
http://repka.tv/video/19153 (http://repka.tv/video/19153)
I like this song. Do you like this song? If not, I can back with a different one, and we'll keep trying them on until one fits.
-
Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer. Goin' faster than a rollercoaster (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OHge1fQJfo).
-
VETO Prokofiev - Dance of the Knights
VETO dick dale -misirlou
VETO Tweak Bird The Bones
VETO Jason and the Scorchers - White Lies Redux
Why'd you veto all of them?
Buddy Holly is ace though
-
Limbs isn't the Agalloch song I'd choose,, but ok
also
Maybe people should start explaining why they're vetoing certain songs, so that we can make better suggestions?
-
Jimmy explained why he vetoed Fela Kuti, Scott Walker and Clutch but that doesn't make me narrow my eyes at him any less.
-
Just saying. I had every song I chose vetoed by one guy. I'm not demanding to know why because I'm annoyed (well, I kind of am, but that's beside the point). I'd just like to know why he thought they were bad songs so I can choose something more suitable.
-
Limbs isn't the Agalloch song I'd choose,, but ok
It's not my favourite Agalloch song. I explained why I chose it, because I thought it would have good cross-genre appeal.
Also saying something is boring is no better a justification that just saying you don't like it, sorry! I don't care if people explain why they don't like things anyway so whatever, guys.
-
Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer. Goin' faster than a rollercoaster (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OHge1fQJfo).
The song doesn't really go anywhere, so I've got to VETO.

Fugazi - Repeater
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVCMLWtVN5E (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVCMLWtVN5E)
-
Repeater isn't the Fugazi song I'd choose but OK
-
Vetoing Fugazi. I will never understand the appeal of that band, I'm sorry. And that's one of the worst songs I've heard by them.
-
Saw that coming a mile away.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KTsXHXMkJA
Veto this then you fucks.
-
Repeater isn't the Fugazi song I'd choose but OK
did I actually offend you by talking about that Agalloch song, or are you just taking the piss now?
if I did, sorry. As you can see, I haven't been here that long.
-
What about "God Only Knows" or "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys?
I mean come on, it's the fucking Beach Boys.
(Someone's going to veto this on principle, aren't they. Sigh.)
-
or this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8dC9M6OCkE
-
What about "God Only Knows" or "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys?
I mean come on, it's the fucking Beach Boys.
(Someone's going to veto this on principle, aren't they. Sigh.)
yeah I honestly don't see the appeal of the Beach Boys, sorry. vetoed.
-
did I actually offend you by talking about that Agalloch song, or are you just taking the piss now?
No that was a serious post and the irony was too good to pass up. It really is one of my least favourite Fugazi songs and one which I think demonstrates the charms of the band the least.
Anyway, I won't veto either on principle, and I really, really dig God Only Knows, but Veto Good Vibrations because it gives me the shits on many levels.

-
Die Verbannten Kinder Evas - Cease to Breathe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzs6StMpocI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzs6StMpocI)
VETO because it dredges up memories from my first music history class. God it was so boring, and I don't think I will ever be able to listen to anything even approximating early music because of it.
John Cale - Barracuda
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWKV9NEs6Ls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWKV9NEs6Ls)
VETO because that keyboard is really annoying, and the song is incredibly boring.

-
Ugh, sorry, I have to veto "For What It's Worth." I think I may have liked it at some point, but for various reasons, among them an asshole friend of mine who contributed to ruining it for me, I cannot stand that song.
-
I'm going to veto everything on this page except for The Zombies.
And everything that was posted after the list was last posted on the last page that was not already vetoed, outside of Bob Dylan.
Updated list:
Beatles - Helter Skelter
Fats Waller - Ain't Misbehavin'
Moondog - Lament I "Bird's Lament"
Duke Ellington - Ko-Ko
Duke Ellington - Cottontail
The Zombies - I'll Call You Mine
Bob Dylan - Don't Think Twice It's Alright
-
I believe Duke Ellington was vetoed unfortunely (also I am furrowing my brow at you for vetoing Sir Duke)
Also what the hell is up with vetoing something because it's boring. I mean, doesn't that generally mean it's inoffensive?
-
The title of the thread is a misnomer. The precedent established by previous pages of this thread isn't that a song you don't veto fails to offend you, but rather that you actually like it. "Like" however, is also being used as a somewhat loose term, a minimum of positive feeling and appreciation for a song being sufficient to prevent vetoing.
Also, a song you find boring can be offensive in the sense that it bores you when you'd rather not be bored, and you're meant to be listening to the song, rather than playing the song while doing something else entirely and not retaining any meaningful memory of what the song was like. In this case, you may find at the end of the song it was a waste of your time, or you'd rather have stopped it part way through instead of bothering with the whole thing.
-
What do you mean by "unfortunate"?
-
That he would have preferred for it not to have happened.
-
Well it turns out I can't type today
-
I'm just confused by the fact that there are two unvetoed Duke Ellington songs.

Since we've gone back to boring shit again how's about some Enon instead (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtZ48cbLSGM).
-
Baroness? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqbzsCCyq3U)
-
I believe Duke Ellington was vetoed unfortunely
Only "C-Jam Blues", and I suggested "Ko-Ko" and "Cottontail" instead, both of which are still unvetoed.
I'm just confused by the fact that there are two unvetoed Duke Ellington songs.
Come on, you've got more brain-power than that! You can handle it. If you listen to them I'm sure there won't be any more confusion: they're very different from each other.

I'm not confused by them being on the list, or I would have vetoed them. I'm confused by KickThatBathProf getting pissed that one of three Duke Ellington songs were vetoed.
Veto Baroness, I liked it until the vocals came in.

-
Based on the fact that you posted soon enough after my post that it would have been impossible for you to listen to the whole song I must demand that you do so as a matter of honour.
-
I don't need to listen to the whole song to know that the girl annoys the hell out of me.

I dunno, I'm enjoying it.
-

If by "annoys the hell out of me" you mean "makes me hot and bothered" you are perfectly correct.
-
I'm pretty sure Jesu- Losing Streak (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozs3lHAXvIU) never got vetoed either. People just seem to have forgotten it.
Poor Jesu.
-
I thought Khar blanket vetoed it.
-
Oh. I didn't know we were counting that. Oopsie.
-
I'm also going to be an uncultured hick and veto Ride of the Valkyries, even though it's a classic, as it is massively overplayed and conjures up memories of some awful, awful advertisements for me (not to mention "kill the wabbit").
I know..I know. :(
-
The first contribution I can think to make on this (totally confounding) thread is Dave Brubeck - Take Five (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwNrmYRiX_o) because it's probably one of the most easily groove-to-able songs I've ever heard and can be played at literally any gathering of people and be at least tolerated until the drum solo. It seems like "classic" is slang on this forum for "not actually cool in any way" but come on, guys.
(I admit that I'm actually just kinda confused by RallyMonkey vetoing Stevie Wonder and Funkadelic, and Jimmy vetoing Clutch, Otis Redding, and Fela Kuti.)
OK, here are some more options that I think are reasonable:
The Budos Band - TIBWF (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsau-muGcSc)
DJ Frane - I Am Dreaming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVP9K-GLa6M)
The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize??? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zYOKFjpm9s)
Earth, Wind, and Fire - September (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iknEJf9cPeY)
Gary Higgins - It Didn't Take Too Long (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkCIB9Xkwgg)
Soulsavers - Revival (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErmJa3MBI10)
Masters of Reality - Doraldina's Prophecies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B993WYNtbqk)
Pretty Lights - The Time Has Come (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWE1qhJuVts)
For fuck's sake veto songs one at a time, guys. It implies that you have actually listened to them. Explaining yourself is recommended.
I just want to remind everyone that "most universally appealing" is not actually synonymous with "best." It just means "the most people will be OK with it if their friend puts this on when they're hanging out." What I'm getting out of this thread is that a few of you would be absolute hell to hang out with because I'd never get to play any music without pissing you off.

baroness
I would have gone with Rays On Pinion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRv90zFtADU) though the vocals would likely pull the same veto. Oddly enough when I opened youtube it recommended another Baroness song - Steel That Sleeps The Eye (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc4fjkcG4KY). All around good band thanks for mentioning.
-
I'm going to have to be a dick and veto that Duke Ellington song just because I've always found it pretty unexciting compared to most of his other famous compositions of the same period.
So you actually don't like it, or you think it's inferior to some of his other stuff? Because nobody is going to agree on the best, so I picked something that seemed like it would keep people's attention decently, but wouldn't annoy anyone, which by necessity usually ends up meaning it isn't the best, just okay.
For what it's worth, though, I like C jam blues better than either of the ones you linked. Not vetoing them, just saying.
-
I think it's inferior to some of his other stuff, and as a consequence I don't like it all that much.

I think you have a higher standard of like than I do. A lot of bands, I like their worst album, because it is still good, and I would still rather listen to it than a lot of other music.
That could be why I haven't vetoed anything yet, anything I dislike gets vetoed pretty much immediately.
-
I know exactly what you're thinking, all the time
-
Sir Duke is not nearly my favorite song
-
The Chemical Plant zone isn't my favourite song but I don't see how it's offensive.
-
By "everyone", I, of course, do not mean everyone.

B-e-a-utiful (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNj2BXW852g)

That link needs fixing (for me, at least).
Also what the hell is up with vetoing something because it's boring. I mean, doesn't that generally mean it's inoffensive?
As a musician, boring music pisses me off the most. It means they haven't had any good ideas, nor have they managed to express anything or evoke any kind of reaction. Why does that music exist? Couldn't they have done something better with their time. For that matter, like De_El said, couldn't I have done something better with mine?
Dave Brubeck - Take Five (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwNrmYRiX_o)
No. No. No. Never. I can't stand "Take Five." I don't even like Paul Desmond's sax playing. VETO.
The Budos Band - TIBWF (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsau-muGcSc)
DJ Frane - I Am Dreaming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVP9K-GLa6M)
Gary Higgins - It Didn't Take Too Long (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkCIB9Xkwgg)
YAAAAAAAAWN. If any of these songs came on, I would fall asleep. I almost did. VETO.
Earth, Wind, and Fire - September (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iknEJf9cPeY)
If this makes it after someone vetoed the far superior Tower of Power, I will be annoyed. However, I do enjoy the song to some degree so I'm not going to take it down.
Now, though I grouped some together, I listened to all of them.
Aphex Twin - Film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrrXDmb4CU)
The Bad Plus do a fantastic cover of this song on "These Are The Vistas." Aside from the fact that cover exists, I'm perfectly okay with Aphex Twin's version.

FYL

I was actually going to suggest that way back on page 3 or 4 but I concluded that some phillistone would come along and veto it because they don't like his voice or because it's boring or because "it doesn't go anywhere" so I decided to save myself the distress.
-
Sometimes songs are pretty enough that they don't need to go anywhere. All they need to do is be pretty.
Also, it does actually go somewhere. It builds up, and then subsides. It just doesn't have any harmonic changes.
-
I wasn't saying it doesn't go anywhere. I was suggesting that someone else who couldn't be bothered listening to it properly might veto it because they think it doesn't go anywhere.
Basically I was saying that if this thread has taught me anything it's that a lot of people are kind of stupid and obnoxious when it comes to listening to music they haven't heard before.
-
I assume that's a veto there. Well, never mind.
If you want music that goes somewhere, how about this? (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17KTUqLyNcU")
-
Jesus people, are you not bothering to try to understand anything I'm actually saying? NOT a veto. NOT a veto. For goodness sake.

Sorry, I didn't mean you, I meant the the guy who said FYL. It was sort of pretty clear from your post that you like/love the song.
Anyhoos. FUCKING MINGUS.

He Fixed Your Link.
-
Yeah, also, if someone's commenting ambiguously about a song, assume they're fine with it unless the make themselves fucking clear and actually say "veto."
-
If people are going to continue getting so angry I think maybe this thread needs to take one in the heart.

Sorry. I just had a momentary flash of extreme frustration because it seemed like two people in a row had fundamentally misunderstood what I had thought were pretty clear sentiments on my part.
My mistake!

That Blind Willie Johnson song is in a West Wing episode!
It is also in space. Literally.

It was also the inspiration for Ry Cooder's Paris, Texas soundtrack!

Why do you keep a chump rolodex, Johnny? Is it in case you need to contact a chump? Why would you need to contact a chump?

look man i have call display and an e-mail inbox, it's just part of the screening process

Hey I listened to all those songs I vetoed. It was terribly dull and irritating but I fucking did it.

I was going to keep a chump rolodex until I realised it corresponds precisely to the entire membership of this forum.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7fuuDc2hH0
I nominate this.
It will stay nominated for about 5 seconds after I click the Post button, but whatevs. It's my favourite CD today.

And yet you still vetoed Clutch. Were you drunk, tired, or do you just have terrible taste?
-
Can I just say that this thread has far exceeded my expectations?
-
sam im afraid that would be putting it a touch too lightly
-
To the contrary, Search & Destroy was nominated early on and to my knowledge no one has vetoed it. Iggy Pop rules man, it's time we should all come to terms with that fact.

My friend just put up an art show all about Mingus! I haven't seen it yet but the dude is crazy talented.
Also when did Wayne Coyne become the boy in the bubble? Is he contagious? Do we have to protect him from the outside world or protect the outside world from him and all his confetti cannons?
-
i veto everything i didnt put up.
ha!

The bubble prevents his sense of extreme joy from making the world's erogenous zones explode.
-
Veto wagner, kraftwerk and iggy pop.
No need for those particular forms of excessive boredom.
Fair enough. Yeah I think we're done here. I initially conceived of the challenge as halfway between an empathy exercise and a sociological experiment. It kinda worked.
-
i veto everything i didnt put up.
ha!
well I veto everything you put up
There. Nobody wins.
-
It should be mentioned, though, that BeoPuppy clearly hates music.
Music won't hold you when you fall asleep, Jeans.
Unless it's music by Sufjan Stevens.
-
are you honestly vetoing a post called trump card?
how can you live with yrself!?!?!
-
stompin on dreams, that's how
-
Wait how can you seriously veto chemical plant???
-
Like this: Veto

Especially when all those erogenous zones are so exposed like that.

NO, I hate boring music. There is a difference.
-
Don't even try arguing. This entire thread has turned into a orgy of people pooping on each other's opinions.

I think for our own good we should go back to the old ways of having a small elite dictating musical taste to the rest of the forum, in as smug and absolutist fashion as possible.
Everybody else should shut up and eat what they're given.
-
Dovey you have no idea how close I am to locking this thread and declaring "Computer Games" by Mi-Sex to be the winner.
-
I have no idea who they are but, you know, go ahead.

It would really do this subforum a lot of good.
