who has the worst taste in music on the board?

[Guest LooseCannon]

I don't like U2's music, but it's Bono's cocksucking pretentiousness that pushes me over the edge. Not even the activism really. It's just something about them and their place in the world of pop culture just really rubs me the wrong way.

 

I was just joking around a little giving you an honorable mention though. Although I hate U2, I'll begrudingly admit that liking them is a notch better than liking metal.

[Guest bob_barron]

I totally see your point- Bono acts like just cause he sells some records means he can save the world. Whoopity-fucking-doo. So I can totally see hating Bono.

 

But The Edge is cool though

 

I like being named to these lists of like posters and stuff- as long as it isn't like most likely to watch gay porn. :-)

[Guest Cerebus The Aardvark]

Well, from what I have seen, everyone but Incandenza and MiB have generally shitty taste in music...I can't really name one specific person.

 

Oh, and Cannon, you should DL Henry Rollins' "Hating Someone's Guts Part 2", from his spoken album The Boxed Life...you might get a kick out of it.

[Guest JaKyL25]

My 10 favorite bands ever:

 

1.) Pearl Jam

2.) Radiohead

3.) Metallica

4.) Our Lady Peace

5.) Green Day

6.) Weezer

7.) Dave Matthews Band

8.) Ben Folds Five

9.) Tool

10.) Dashboard Confessional

 

That's pretty eclectic, so EVERYONE should find something to bash!

[Guest LooseCannon]

Rollins is another guy I hate, but I might download it anyway. I actually saw him do a spoken word performance in late '98 or so (one of my first dates with my ex gf). And it was pretty entertaining, though not nearly as good as Rollins or his fans think he is. Also, I'm of the opinion that Black Flag went steadily down hill as Rollins' influence in the band rose.

 

I'm hurt that you think I have shitty taste in music. Is it the "Weezer is overrated" comments?

 

Just kidding. I don't really care.

 

Or do I?

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

I have the best taste in music. It's so good I overwhelm myself sometimes with how cool I can be. I can't even name my top 10 favorite bands/groups/artists.

 

I just like EVERYTHING!

 

GO BLUEGRASS~!

 

(listens to banjos all night, and dreams of playing one someday)

 

Fo sheez,

Kotzenjunge

[Guest Kinetic]

That KISS guy has pretty bad taste. I've seen him defend Def Leppard a few times and that's more than enough for me.

 

And, for the record, liking metal is considerably cooler than liking U2. Metal is inherently anti-establishment, which is cool, whereas U2 is the establishment. Going to see U2 is like going to see the Rolling Stones or eating at McDonald's. It's evil.

[Guest LooseCannon]

Kinetic may be right. But every time I think to myself that one is better than the other, my involuntary gag reflex kicks in.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

whatevah whatevah...

 

Avril rules.

 

I flip back and forth between that CD, Shakira's CD and the Bangles greatest hits every day in my car.

 

Well...

 

that ought to ensure some votes for me.

 

Other things laying around my CD player:

 

Meatloaf Bat out of Hell (And I defy anyone to name a better duet than PAradise by the Dashboard Light) Yeah...I said it.

 

Air Supply Greatest Hits (Making Love out of nothing at all...owns us all) Yeah...said that too.

 

I've got a nice collection of country cd's laying around.

 

George Strait is the man.

 

Everything else is a cross between CDs by the Doors, Stones, GNR, Floyd and STP.

 

Although I'm sure there is some Brittney in there somewhere.

 

That ought to do it.

 

Go nuts.

[Guest LooseCannon]

yup. you've got bad taste too. but I already lumped you in with Flyboy, Superstar, and the other Avril marks.

[Guest NoCalMike]

To me, people who listen to Top 40 radio hits have the worst taste. Whether it is Top 40 rap, rock, country, pop....etc.....because they allow record companies to tell them what to like rather then make an effort to look for music not on the radio. ALso a lot of these people carry the attitude of, "if it isn't selling 5 million copies a week, it must suck"

[Guest Renegade]

If anyone talked to me over AIM, they'd know the true depths and heights of my taste. For some reason, this board is predominantly metal-oriented, touting the virtues of bands I've never even heard of. Either way, my bad is balanced out by my good. GO KYLIE~!

 

And I can listen to and enjoy Nelly, so BACKDAFUCKUP.

 

My AIM is Kotzenjunge for those who are curious and want a taste of weirdness.

 

Fo sheez,

Kotzenjunge

Well your sig says you like YATTA~!, so its all good.

[Guest bob_barron]

I like Faith Hill

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

I like Faith Hill

I don't, except for "The Way You Love Me." The frickin' vocoder in the refrain gets me every time.

 

I don't think anyone has particularly bad taste, except for the blind metal worshippers, but that's because I really dislike most metal. Give me the Gathering any day, but keep the shred-o-rama guitar gods awaaaaay.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Edwin, if you like The Gathering, you'll like Lacuna Coil (assuming you already haven't heard them, which I'm betting you already HAVE). Gooood baaaaaands...

 

I can't believe Kinetic just said something pro-metal...

 

And for the record, I'm a fan of U2 as well . Sure, Bono's righteous preaching proves he's just an idealist cocksucker, but hey, the music's more badass than a lot of pop/rock. My favorite song? "Bullet The Blue Sky." On a sidenote, wouldn't "Bullet The Blue Sky" make for some kick-ass entrance music?

[Guest bob_barron]

I'd want to come out to If You Wear that Velevet Dress- I'd be less ove then Brock Lesnar!

 

Bullet the Blue Sky is bad ass- the Live from Boston version is awesome as Bono starts screaming about Mark Chapman and John Lennon's murder. Awesome freaky stuff

[Guest redbaron51]

I like Abba

 

*runs away*

[Guest Kinetic]

Going from the vomit-inducing WWE portion of this board to this thread has me wondering why I come here in the first place. Jeez.

 

Oh, and how could anyone like Faith Hill?

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Going from the vomit-inducing WWE portion of this board to this thread has me wondering why I come here in the first place. Jeez.

 

Oh, and how could anyone like Faith Hill?

Vocoders, Kinetic. It's all about the vocoders.

 

Hell, you could give Janet Reno a vocoder, and I'd giggle with glee.

[Guest bob_barron]

Going from the vomit-inducing WWE portion of this board to this thread has me wondering why I come here in the first place. Jeez.

 

Oh, and how could anyone like Faith Hill?

She's hot and sings good songs.

 

Runs far, far away

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

Why is it a bad thing to like Top 40 or whatever? I mean, I used to carry the "I don't listen to what they tell me to listen to" elitist chip on my shoulder back before I decided I needed to stop thinking of rationalizations for liking popular things. Some people are just so obsessed with being an individual they refuse to do what so many as a few other people are doing, let alone millions liking a popular band or single or whatnot. There is some stuff that is obviously pushed and selected over others, and sometimes it does indeed suck.

 

Example: MTV trying to jam this Clipse fellow down our collective throat. It isn't very good. He's absolutely dead-sounding when he raps. I might just call him Mase 2002. I mean, they tried to play N.O.R.E. a lot too, but that was actually, you know, good.

 

Anyway, I know gems exist whether they sell a thousand or a million copies, although if something sells a really low number, it's often because it isn't very good, not a lack of exposure. I could come on here and say how I own the Deion Sanders rap album, and I'm better than all of you because it isn't "hit material," and then be laughed off the board. For the record, I don't.

 

Someone tells us to like everything that we do. Simply allowing someone to play something for us in their car is someone endorsing something towards us. If we refused to listen to suggestion, music wouldn't be what it is.

 

The dude who likes ABBA~! rules. Don't run, you have an ally in me. Whoever also endorsed YATTA~! rules too.

 

Now, all of you music conoisseurs and lovers of "artistes" can flame me all day for liking everything.

 

Bottom line of argument: EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE! No one has bad taste. Only different taste.

 

Fo sheez,

Kotzenjunge

[Guest What?]

Anyone who actually thinks that MTV knows what the shit they're talking about.

 

 

Prime example, albeit they aren't on the boards. In my art class, I was overhearing this fat girl talking to this ugly girl (shut up, I'll describe em however I want....*sticks out tounge*)about what type of music she likes. Fat then says "I'll admit it. I Love Punk music! Blink-182 is my favorite band!" Ugly nods, whereas Fat continues: "I mean, does punk get any harder than Blink-182?" (I am not shitting you on this. If you want to see poser kids galore, come to Los Gatos, CA)

 

Of course I butted in:

 

Me: "Actually, it does."

Fat: "Like?" (in that fat snotty tone that fat people use when they have no reason to be snotty)

Me: "Dropkick Murphy's"

Fat: "Uhh..."

Me: "Black Flag, Minor Threat"

Fat: "What about Green Day?"

Me: "What about them? Sex Pistols, The Ramones...The Casualties..."

Fat: "They're pretty hard..."

Me: "Who? The Casualties?"

Fat: "No, Green Day"

Me: "......heh..."

 

I then went back to my drawing and let her marinate in her own fat sweat. Anyway, I'm just in a ranting mood...so Mister Foozel has ok taste in music, but can't sell anyone on it for shit.

 

and Dashboard Confessional sucks

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

What?, I go through this same routine almost every day when it comes to metal. This 7th grader was at a local show my friend George's band was playing, and they were covering a bunch of hard rock songs from the past couple of years so they could get people into them ("Chop Suey!" and Limp Bizkit's "Faith" were on the playlist, and they actually played them EXTREMELY well). This 7th grader must've been related to somebody that goes to the high school, because there's no way he'd have heard of the show any other way. So he sees me against the wall, my long hair down over my face, my wallet chain and Doc's being readily visible with my torn shorts, and looks at my Megadeth shirt. He comes over to me...

 

Kid: "So, like metal?"

Me: "Best music ever made, you?"

Kid: "I like some of it...mostly Mudvayne and KoRn."

Me: "Too bad they're not metal..."

 

Long story short, the kid tries to pick a fight with me, but I just laugh him off and walk up to the stage to sing along to the chorus of "Chop Suey!"

 

Mmmmmm...Slayer...NP: Slayer - "Ice Titan"

[Guest treble charged]

Bottom line of argument: EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE! No one has bad taste. Only different taste.

 

EXACTLY what I was thinking. People listen to music that they like, plain and simple. I, for example, do not like metal, yet I don't think people that do have 'bad' taste in music, just different. Everyone can justify what they like, even if it is only a 'guilty pleasure'. For example, I don't mind (I maybe even like them) some pop-punk bands like blink-182 and Sum 41. I find them fun things to hum along to.

 

Flaming someone based on their taste in music is borderline retarded. Different tastes in music makes discussions in this folder interesting.

[Guest Anorak]

Iv'e tried in a very subtle manner to recommend or simply mention some different bands in this folder but I don't think anybody has noticed.

[Guest Kinetic]

While I agree that everyone has the right to listen to whatever they want, it's a lot more fun to criticize and be judgemental. Otherwise, every post would consist of people agreeing to disagree and it would be boring as fuck.

 

For instance, imagine Anglesault saying "Well, I really don't think Test should hold every title in the company simultaneously, but we're all entitled to our opinion." It just wouldn't be the same.

[Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa]

I haven't been paying much attention to this thread, but I saw Meat Loaf mentioned.

 

Meat Loaf rules. So there.

[Guest godthedog]

i don't like U2 because somewhere along the line they got wrapped up in their own hype, stopped making good music & let their egos inflate. pink floyd falls into the same category, but i don't hate on them as much, simply because recent pink floyd isn't praised as much as recent U2. i saw footage of a U2 concert in mexico, & the band descended from a spaceship onto the stage. then at one point, bono was prancing around the stage with an american flag umbrella. think about that: an IRISH rock star in front of a crowd of MEXICANS pulls out an AMERICAN flag. the whole thing was overblown, pretentious & laughable.

 

if the french argel were still here, i'd nominate him, mostly for his mindless elitism & hatred of anyone with a major record contract. my favorite quote by him was, "the beatles suck. give me dying fetus any day."

 

funny, funny shit.

[Guest Incandenza]

I use to openly rail against Top 40 radio and all its listeners, but then I realized I was wasting too much energy in hating something I shouldn't care about. Yeah, most of it's shit, but to each his own. I reserve out-and-out disgust for a select few acts, with Limp Bizkit topping the list.

 

As for as metal goes, I dislike roughly 90% of it, and I say this as a guy who was pretty big into it when I was 13 or so.

[Guest LooseCannon]

Even if I could afford the lobotomy that would allow me to pretend that no one has bad taste in music, that it's just *different,* I wouldn't get it. You're all free to get in a happy little circle jerk, though. But I'll be keeping my hands to myself.
