oldmako Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 OK. I'm a bit of a reprobate, slightly under the influence and I like to stir the pot. So far we have threads for what we're listening to and another with interesting and / or cool band names. I challenge you to name a band or bands (or songs) that just make you retch. Songs that make you get up and RUN to change the station if you were listening to the radio. I fully understand that this topic may breed bad blood as toes are stomped upon. Too bad, suck it up buttercup! If it's done with some degree of diplomacy we can all vent and have some fun at the same time. No holds barred. Let em rip. My list is long and varied but I'll toss out a few just to stoke the flames of animosity and aggitate my bile. -------------- Smashing Pumkins. The dude doesn't do nasal well. Journey. Too much of an ordinary thing has fried my brain. They were all over the radio in the 80s. I'm sorry, they weren't that good. Rush. Geddy Lees shreiking is too much. Guess I didn't take enough acid. Neil Sadaka. Just shoot me won't ya? This one was a reach, but still gives me dry heaves from my yout. Pretty much anything HipHop or cRap Michael Buble. Lets just trash all the old standards shall we? Cranberries. Just shoot her will ya? That chick from Canada. Not the hot one, but the other one. Although the hot ones music has taken a major turn for the worse. (Mo' worser) Perhaps she's on your list? I hope that I have offended some of you enough to post in rebuttal or add your own. This could get interesting. I think I'll refresh my cocktail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could get interesting. I think I'll refresh my cocktail. Golly it is such a long list. If I turn on the radio it is bad. Everything sounds the same and terrible. I'm with you on Rush and Journey but I think that genre has so much that makes me ill. You were too kind to Journey [N] Chicago, Styx, Eagles, and Boston just kill me bore me. [N] Hotel California makes me barf within three bars. I'm just not into whatever music that is at all. Among my friends I get into trouble for saying that Kraftwerk is terrible. I like the idea of the band and when they did whatever it is they did but they seem like a joke band that went on too long. I like electronic experimental music but they are just not something I can get into or listen to. Perhaps they are a band I'll appreciate more later on in life. ABBA. Perhaps you have to indulge in massive quantities of drugs of the age to understand ABBA. Their music makes me feel funny and not in a good way. I think it is my ear trying to crawl out of my skull. Does this make the music bad just because we don't like it? No I don't think so. Our brains are just rejecting their programming and sound. It is good to become familar with all forms of music even if you don't like it for frame of reference. That doesn't mean I am going to digest huge amounts of prog rock [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 1. Music with drums or drumming in it. LOL I'll buy any vintage record with drumming. Just got a sealed copy of Drums of Bora Bora on vinyl for $2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Dylan. - Bob Dylan (a.k.a. Kermit the Frog): I would prefer salt poured over an open wound than listen to his awful voice. Bobs music needs to stay where it belongs, with Miss Piggy and The Muppet Show... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedcrankcammer Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Anything by "Fairy" Manilow!

Fini, I and a group od friends, used to beat up homosexuals for fun arround 25 years ago on a regular basis. When my uncle, father of three was murdered, and it turned out he was a closet bi-sexual, I had to re-evaluate my homo-phobia and I could not judge my uncle. I still do not agree with homo sexuality, but do not find myself a homophobe or wanting to go out and hurt anyone any more. I do however hate the music listed, and it can have a very negative impact on my nice guy immage.. [] When I get in that kind of a mood, the recipient of my attitude does not have to be gay either...

oldmako Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Back to the heinous tuneage.... Al Stewart. "Time Paaaaaaaassssssages......" Rod Stewart. Great when he was with the Faces, but everything past about 1995 pretty much stinks. His covers are the worst. Acid Head Banger bands covered in tats who scream at the top of their lungs. No one can understand a single lyric. At least no one my age. Most of the soundtrack from Top Gun. Especially "Take my Breath Away". Simply horrible. Take my breath away indeed, just suffocate me with a pillow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take my breath away indeed, just suffocate me with a pillow. A friend tried to tell me Rod Stewart was good once during the Jeff Beck Group and Faces. I haven't heard any of that music so maybe he was but he drives me nuts. Reminds me of ladies throwing panties. Ladies aren't throwing panties at me so he must be doing something right.

seti Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Collecting records you go through thousands of records but people that annoy you. For instance if I see one more copy South Pacific I'll freak out. If I had a dollar for every Danah Shore or Frank Sinatra record I would be a multi millionaire. The crooners make me crazy Dean Martin and Sinatra are just terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldenough Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 There is one song that gets me running to the "off switch"....."Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles. I always figure that song was an experiment by Lennon and Mcartney to see just what the public would put up with, and just to rub it in..... they would let Ringo sing. Funny thing is I am a big fan, but I cannot listen to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
