...hello music lovers...or in this case, music haters....
.....Are there bands that you do not like or just do not 'get'??....when i mean bands or musical arists, i mean the well known 'untouchables', the 'sacred cows' of the music business that you fail to see what the attraction is all about???...
..its a bit of fun, so please, all in jest, whether we disagree or not....!!!!
 ..for me, the top band i cannot stand are The Beatles..no, really, i do not get their music or see what all the fuss is about????
 ....i find it all bland, bland, bland....and yes, even Sgt Pepper, Revolver and the like...all considered 'classic' albums but whenever a Beatles track comes on the radio, i have to change stations to avoid physical damage to my stereo equipment!!!!........another pet musical hate is...horror of all horrors..U..bloody..2....blimey, how overrated can a band get....maybe its the 'cool to be Irish' thing that makes them attractive, you know, so 'in fashion' that it would be socially disastrous to admit that you do not like them.....i am dismayed at some peoples reaction when i state that i don't like this band....they treat me as if i have suddenly developed some form of psychological leprosy..."what do you mean, U2 are crap?..you can't say that"..but i can matey boy...i remember an old TV advert which i think was for the Kit Kat chocolate bar which featured a 'band' auditioning.....the catch line was something like..."you can't sing, you can't play, and you look terrible.....your'll go far"!!!....well, thats U2.....
 ........and don't even get me going on Bruce Springsteen......
..have fun then....vent that musical spleen (in a nice fashion of course!!!)...
...all the best...AoO....

Well, other than the entire modern pop and what passes for rock these days scenes, I would have to say Nirvana.
In my opinion, they have the most amusical, discordant, annoying, grating sound outside of avant garde "noise music" I can think of. They, along with punk and disco, were the major blow that almost caused the death of hard rock and metal music. Their influence, in addition to the grunge scenes they spawned, is the reaon why real metal music has been underground for the past twenty years or so. ------------- http://www.allempires.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=12713 - Late Byzantine Military http://www.allempires.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=17337 - Ottoman perceptions of the Americas |

Guns and Roses, the band that murdered any respect heavy metal had. It was so good before they came along, and they tried to turn it into pop music.

That's because they invented many musical forms that have since been imitated to death, and have become cliches. You groan when you hear them because they are so old and tired, but at one time they were groundbreaking. If you want to know why they are considered as important as they are, my best suggestion is to compare what they were doing in about '65 (eg Rubber Soul) to what was playing on the airwaves that year. |

Sure, but the airwaves were still dominated by the crooners. The Who is (to my ears) a better sound but it was a little too hard for most people at the time, at least in North America.

...no, thats not my reason why, you delve too deeply!!!.....its much simpler than that, i am pretty aware of musical traditions and evolution etc...despite my fondness for all things rockingly heavy and metalified, it belies a passionate interest in all musical forms....it could well be the rebel metalhead in me, and that my dislike is partly based on rebelion against 'popular' sounds.....it maybe an 'anti-fashion' thing....but i think not...Minogue sits comfortably next to Motorhead in my music collection!!!!!
 (plus, i am old enough to remember Beatles singles in my brother and sisters record collection )...but for me, The Beatles just don't cut the mustard....i have had countless discussions with Beatle loving friends and i am fully aware of the reasons 'why' they are liked...and it just does not wash with me...i do not get them or their music....i do not think being (arguably) 'groundbreaking' is enough to justify their seemingly god-like popularity either... (imho!!)........sorry such opinions do not sit comfortably among the majority, its a risky business not conforming to taste, i recall nearly being lynched in a pub when i voiced my ..er...concerns about Bruce Springsteen not long after he brought out Born in the USA.....  ....it appeared inconceivable to some of the chaps that somebody could not like the growling one...i had the same problem when talking about Aerosmith with some old American friends..!!!..boy, now that did get a bit tense!!!!------------- |

 (i can hear the screaming now...)... ....The Who...one of musics ironies, touted as a 'Mod' band, but probably the most complete rock band ever....stunning group...anybody see Roger and Peter at the Live-8 concert??

...yeah, i tend to agree with you there, being a metal fan in the early 80's was tough, ridicule from most of the other boys who were mostly 'new romantics', or even worse, teasing from girls who thought Bros were the best thing since sliced bread....wearing a scruffy denim jacket displaying band loyalty patches interspersed with a selection of creative stud work did not exactly go down well with the Flock of Seagull's crowd...
......Bon Jovi and the rise of 'hair bands' and 'pretty boy pop rock' kind of made metal more 'fashionable' as the decade wore on, but that was exactly the reason why 'true' rivietheads rejected it and gravitated toward the sound of thrash/speed/death metal...which is precisely what i did!!!....anyone for Nuclear Assault or Annihilator!!!...
...Confession time: During the 80's, i kind of enjoyed the odd Pet Shop Boys single release and being a metal nut, could not fathom this out, so i kept quiet believing that i was a traitor to my metal soul, and tried to ignore these unatural musical feelings!!!...i actually do recall that this gave me many problems, my love of rock and metal was so intense (and of course, my lust for rock would be forever and ever ) i simply could not understand contemplating another musical form....troubled times for a teenager...------------- |

I am a huge Rush fan! Although I agree that Geddy's vocals are an acquired taste, there is a BIG difference between his and Steven Tyler's voices. Geddy has the range; Steven Tyler destroyed his voice in the mid 70's and ended up sounding like someone took a cheese-grater to his vocal cords for the rest of his career. And, of course, there is no comparison between the virtuosity of Rush and Aerosmith, not that this needed to be mentioned.

Sure, but even technically they are like baboons banging sticks together compared to Classical composers. Technical competence isn't the end-all be-all or we'd all be flocking to the symphony. Some of the best music is very, very simple. One of my favourite Who songs, for instance, is Baba O'Riley and it's just a programmed synthesizer doing a simple repetition with some power chords on the guitar. |

Hmm... May have to review my original, off the cuff and sensationalist statement! Seriously though, crap like American Idol and all these modern 'talent' shows look for two things - who can emphasis their voice, by dragging out every lyric with silly crap like "yeaheyeaeyeaaaaaa" (As opposed to actually just getting up and singing a song) and how big their knockers are. In the case of men its how much you resemble a Greek hero. Makes my stomach sick what passes for civilisation in our generation.

U2!! Also Sting...I never got what was so great about them. Theeen a few whole genres, like hip-hop...but OK, let's skip what obviously is not music. Actually, I like early Bon Jovi, their songwriting was much better than most of the hair bands. But I don't get Twisted Sister and Poison for instance. Metallica is a bit overrated, too, but they were really good in the 80s. The Jonas Brothers are obviously that kind of idiots from whom everyone with at least some musical hearing gets headaches. The same about Tokio Hotel. Could anyone explain me why the hell so many like Rammstein?? Yeah and Kurt Cobain...hardly a guitarist, though worshipped by too many. And what's the deal about that who New Wave of American Metal - System of a Down, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Slipknot...?!?! ------------- A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it's not open. |

..for me the above two points are related.....because the metal genre seemed to be dominated by the NWOAM for what seemed like ages, i kinda got depressed with the boredom and uninspired drivel that passed for rock and just stuck to my old Sabbath and priest albums...
....so....along came the album 'Mutter' by Rammstein which seemed to have some of that old school dynamic, heavy but melodic....i loved it!!!....in fact, i don't think it has been out of my cd player since i bought it!!!!.... ..so i am caught between the two opinions.... ------------- |

Perhaps if the Jonas Brothers could get out of the clutches of the Disney bubble-gum pop machine, turn up the distortion on the guitar, and get a bigger drumset, they could make some good music. I think the talent is there. But who wants to make good music when there isn't money in it? Tokio Hotel is just plain SCARY!
System of a Down and Slipknot can at least play. Their lyrics are garbage and Slipknot's image is just plain juvenile. I think this phase of nu-metal is starting to die out, thankfully. Avenged Sevenfold are awesome musicians but need to drop the manufactured image like Slipknot.
