Yeah but even the worst EBM is only as bad as mid-level epic trance or happy hardcore.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #51 on:** 25 Feb 2010, 13:33 »

Also I'm kinda scared now because I absolutely cannot think of an EBM or futurepop artist that I don't like on some level. Which I think is a bad sign.

I even like Apoptygma Berzerk for fucks sake.

No shame in that, APB were cool until the Stereophonics covers album.

Unfortunately it's a 'scene' I got suitably immersed in for several years to hear literally hundreds of identical sounding bands. No disrespect to the genre but I've always found sorting the wheat from the chaff and finding exciting new artists (rarer and rarer) harder than with other EDM styles.

fuck this shit let's talk about the mountain goats again! I was standing right next to the guy filming this!

I am probably going to hitch-hike through Europe this summer and am thinking of making a playlist of road tripping music and am thinking that the mountain goats will definitely be on it. I am also thinking of making a thread for this.

jesus i really need to stop falling into the trap of going "hey this is just average bad, not super-duper horrible" before the chorus hits

Christophe · « **Reply #59 on:** 25 Feb 2010, 22:21 »

To be fair, the discrepancy between sort-of-bad and super-fucking-bad isn't hit as bad as it is by a certain song by a certain recording artist known as J Bigga.

EDIT: forgot that that wasn't the video version

Going to throw this out there. Any and everything this gentleman has ever put out is the ultimate in shit music.

But then I really don't see the point in dance music whatsoever.

So yeah Scooter sucks, this is truth. But do I really need to point out how using the low point of a genre to discount something as vast and varied as "dance music" is retardis in extremis?

I could have searched for the high point of dance music and still hated it. The point was to look for lows so I did. I don't discount the genre by its lows but by its everythings.

I pity the video editor on that Hedley song, cuz he did a halfway decent job but you know he had to commit suicide as soon as it was done because he had to listen to that over and over and over again.

Patrick · « **Reply #63 on:** 27 Feb 2010, 03:54 »

I don't know if this has been said before (people all postin' links without titles makes it hard to tell) but "Fireflies" by Owl City really takes the fucking cake for me

KharBevNor · « **Reply #64 on:** 27 Feb 2010, 06:06 »

I don't see what makes that particular song superlatively bad, apart perhaps from the annoying video. It seems fairly interchangeable with any number of other popular songs of the last five years.

SirJuggles · « **Reply #65 on:** 28 Feb 2010, 01:17 »

Yeah Fireflies is bland derivative pop but I don't think that meets the truly horrendous standards we are trying to set here.

The most tragic part of the Holocaust was the members of Nickelback were not alive and Jewish for it.

maybe it's that the owl city guy is a pussy on a profound and ineluctable level, maybe it's that the first time i heard it while driving in my car i laughed out loud and said "what a pussy" to nobody in particular, maybe it's that one "bwip!" sound at 1:23. i don't know, but this song makes the postal service sound like doa

Uh, I used to listen to Nickelback, a lot. Seriously. I actually still like their work on The State and Silver Side Up...it was after that they realized, "Oh hey if we write songs like this we get radio play LET'S DO IT" and they've gotten progressively worse from there.

Seriously, as time goes on, they get worse and worse. So, probably one of their fucking radio edits off the new one.

scarred · « **Reply #77 on:** 01 Mar 2010, 04:02 »

We've all had shameful musical periods in our lives. Nickelback is a pretty bad one though. You might want to see a doctor about that.

Tergon · « **Reply #78 on:** 01 Mar 2010, 04:23 »

...the first and second CDs I ever bought were Smash Mouth's Astrolounge and the South Park Chef Aid album.

You do not need to feel bad about Nickelback.

And as for bad songs... though it's not BAD, per se, a part of me dies every time I hear Creed's With Arms Wide Open. I heard it on the radio not long ago and I'm still in pain.

Patrick · « **Reply #79 on:** 01 Mar 2010, 04:29 »

1. Astrolounge was a great album (as was Fush Yu Mang, which is to this day their finest work and one of my eternal favorite albums), but every Smash Mouth album since has been full of absolute goddamn trash
2. At least Nickelback had "How You Remind Me" and it had a pretty cool drum groove during the pre-chorus

The first album I ever bought was Gorillaz - Gorillaz.

The second album I ever bought was Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and Hot Dog Flavoured Water.

Guess which one of these two albums I've listened to most recently. (Hint: it's not Gorillaz)

SWOON! at My Gravitas · « **Reply #83 on:** 01 Mar 2010, 06:26 »

My first CD was by the Backstreet Boys.

I wish I could just laugh it off when I tell people this, but the shame makes it hard to articulate emotion without using tears.

JD · « **Reply #84 on:** 01 Mar 2010, 06:40 »

I think it's ok if you own one nickelback album. Own more than that and you're dumb.

Theriandros · « **Reply #85 on:** 01 Mar 2010, 08:45 »

The first CD I bought was a recording of Mozart (and debatably Sussmayr's) Requiem Mass.

The second CD was Weird Al's "Poodle Hat".

I've been weird since then.

the_pied_piper · « **Reply #86 on:** 01 Mar 2010, 09:16 »

The first CD I ever bought was Melody A.M. by Röyksopp.

I don't remember the second but I do know that I have some albums in my collection that I'm a bit ashamed to own (no Nickelback though).

First CD I ever got was Dark Side of the Moon. I liked Nickelback because I was a tween, but fuck, all I heard was the radio. Evanescence, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, all that sort of shit, but when I first heard "Breathe" it blew my fucking mind away and I ended up going into this, "Classic rock is the only true music! All modern music is the devil!" sort of mentality for about four years or so. The second was a Jimi Hendrix collection which sort of cemented this.

And I have no idea what you mean by that graph Jeans. Like, I'm kind of reading it as I'm a mix of awesome and what the fuck but I really can't imagine someone saying I'm awesome, especially around here.

scarred · « **Reply #90 on:** 01 Mar 2010, 14:54 »

Is this a first CD thread now? Sweet.

The first CD I owned (it was bought for me) was N'Sync's "No Strings Attached" when I was 7 or 8. I regret nothing.

The first CD I bought with my own money was ...And you will know us by the trail of dead's "Worlds Apart" when I was 15. I still listen to it occasionally, even though Source Tags & Codes is way better.

My first album was also Astrolounge. In terms of musical feats I don't know whether to be embarrassed or proud of: I'm probably one of the only living people who has seen The Backstreet Boys, Aaron Carter, and ZZ Top live.

Inlander · « **Reply #95 on:** 01 Mar 2010, 17:51 »

The first C.D. I ever bought was Past Masters, volume 2 by the Beatles (for those who don't know, the two Beatles Past Masters compilations were collections of b-sides and rarities). I was looking for Serene Machine by Ed Kuepper but it being my first time in a proper record store I wasn't able to find it.

As for what the first cassette I ever bought was, well that's another story . . .

Oh man, the dude who was driving our bus in grade 6th of elementary school had this on tape and always played it. It was so awesome.

Hmm, first purchase with my own money was Green Day's Nimrod. I still listen to it sometimes and I still like it. First cd I got must've been a Backstreet Boys cd, I think. I had a lot of fun translating the lyrics in French and see if I could sing them on the music.

SirJuggles · « **Reply #97 on:** 01 Mar 2010, 20:43 »

Oh man Astrolounge was my first CD too! Is that a Thing? That seems to be kind of a Thing around here...

I also was given Now That's What I Call Music 5 as a gift shortly before that as the first CD I owned. To be perfectly honest, most of the things on there are not what I would call music.

My first CD purchase was Tubthumper by Chumbawamba. I purchased it when I was eight. Didn't really get the whole anarcho-punk thing at that point, obviously, but I just liked the songs. Then I moved on to Stunt and Maroon by Barenaked Ladies, and the Gorillaz self-titled came shortly after.
