Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I’ll say this purely negative about MGK though: this will be a contender the worst album cover of the decade. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Lol, oh you may be sarcastic but it’s endearing. I always look forward to reading what you and Segue have been listening to because you guys go down so many different rabbit holes and always have really well thought out perspectives about so many different kinds of music. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thizzellewashington Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 If we're keeping it to "actually popular in the mainstream pop world" my answer is Billy Joel. Every single one of his songs sucks. I like zero of them and actively turn to something else when any of them comes on the radio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 4 hours ago, J2112YYZ said: I didn't become a fan until Halford returned in 2004. I just went by the songs the radio played. I didn't hear anything special with those and thought they were pretty standard metal radio singles. I still think that now even though they have become one of my all time favorites. My friend kept telling me to buy the Metal Works compilation so I could hear a better range of songs. After that I was a fan. Exactly my reaction. I didn't really get into them until around Firepower came out. Someone recommended me Sin After Sin and honestly? That may still bey favourite album (not saying it's their best, that for me changes on the day). It was really good to try an album with no recognisable songs. I used to really dislike British Steel for the overplayed songs, but I'm at a point now where I can appreciate the hits for what they are, and the deep cuts even more.

Segue Myles Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 2 hours ago, Entre_Perpetuo said: I guess stuff commonly referred to as “butt rock,” specifically of the late 90s and early 00s variety, usually is a turn off for me. The Nickelbacks of the world if you will. However, I do know one Nickelback song I genuinely like: How You Remind Me. It’s got a really effective chorus that builds in intensity in an interesting and cathartic way, and iirc the guitar part is actually pretty cool. It all goes down the toilet after that for me though. I love that song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Three major rock acts that I just don't care for... GnR Aerosmith Def Leppard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Also: Halestorm (I really dislike the music but every time I see a picture of the lead singer with her mouth wide open posing like she's a hard bitch I roll my eyes so far back I go blind. If I was to go blind and read her name in braille, it would prompt me to burn my fingertips off.) Heart (I get they are 100% my taste but oddly I find them really, really boring) Arch Enemy post- Angela Gossow (not bad, just not exciting to me) AC/DC (this could change in time. Doubt it though) Rolling Stones (I love their singles, albums tend to bore me) Janet Jackson (some good songs, but not huge on her albums, though I respect her a lot) Prince (incredibly talented, music sadly leaves me cold. Like Janet, I respect his power. As an ex-Jehovahs Witness, he makes me angry) Fates Warning (boring as f**k, and the vocals are insanely bad, which is one aspect of rock and metal I am usually to be found super forgiving for) Celine Dion (huge Mariah Carey fan here, I feel I should love Celine but I don't. I connect to Mariah for her songwriting. A lot of people don't realise what a clever, deeply personal and soulful lyricist she is. I don't know how much of Celine's music is her own writing, but it doesn't matter, it annoys me) Van Halen (great playing, not one song I like) Genesis (Meh-nesis) Marillion (Meh-rillion) Pink Floyd (too dull for words) Sex Pistols (Shit Pistols) Ramones (Green Day do it better. Suck my ass if you disagree) The Runaways (and solo Lita Ford) (not hate, just indifference) I wanted to say Anthrax but I'm about to revisit them and I'm nervous I might eat my words 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 (edited) Bruce Springsteen (I've tried and tried and tried and I just can't get into him. I do like Nebraska but that's about it) Kiss (For a lot of the reasons people said. Alive and Destroyer are fine). U2 (Impossibly dull) Jeff Beck (He has a couple fabulous records in the 70s but he's otherwise extremely dull. Saw him a few years ago and the highlight of the show was a cover of the Beatles) The Clash (A few decent hits but otherwise nothing I ever feel like listening to again) Eric Clapton (Total waste of time after Derek & the Dominoes. It's just safe sanitized blues for old white people. Absolutely no grit and no balls) The Police Dream Theater (I like some of their earlier stuff but I just can't get excited for their music. James LaBrie is just too much of an acquired taste. Which is odd considering a lot of the other bad singers I like. I probably find his most interesting thing to be the Ayreon album he did in the early 2000s). Edited December 5, 2022 by Union 5-3992 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
