Brought on about a discussion I had with someone who said they talked to someone else who DIDN'T LIKE BOB DYLAN

I don't like Bob Dylan. I appreciate his song writing but his voice is akin to nails on a chalkboard. Which is an out-of-date cliche if I've ever heard one.

I don't like Leonard Cohen, either.

I don't like most of Dylan. I can handle a few select songs of his, but like Mace, I appreciate him much more for his song writing. I also don't like Cohen either. My dislike of indie bands such as Animal Collective is well known. I'm trying to see if I like such bands as The National or Broken Social Scene, but they're not immediately taking.

That being said, I enjoy listening to Ke$ha's album more than should be allowed.

blasphemers!

admittedly though, i dislike tom waits

my blashpemies -

i fucking hate u2.

i fucking hate the beach boys.

also spelling blasphemies wrong.

Oh yeah, I hate U2 with a passion too, but I don't see that as a blasphemy, I see not spreading douchebaggery. I'm doing the world a service.

yeah but by many they are considered the greatest rock band in the world today.

u2 can blow me. i don't understand the love for grizzly bear. although i do like that "two weeks" or whatever song. i never liked the stones or zeppelin (extreme blasphemy!!!). my dad loved led zeppelin and would blast them at like 9 on a saturday, and if there was ever anything that would make you predisposed to hating a band..

we all know how i feel about the jonas brothers. whatevs.

the stones i never really got into either

I'm with you on Tom Waits.

Is Shakira cool or not cool now? I can't keep track of you kids and your crazy music with the hipping and the hopping. Whatever, I like her music. EXCEPT "She-Wolf".

And also agreed on the not caring for Bob Dylan.

Not into:
Tom Waits
U2
AFI
Bad Religion

I like Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam, Salt n Peppa, Exposé and misc. 80's one hit wonder type girl bands. I would be inclined to bop and sing along if I heard them in a car. LET THE MUSIC PLAY! HE WON'T GET AWAY!

Shh. Don't tell anyone.

I totally like Taylor Swift. Can't deny it.

I got made fun of at work by my co-teacher for admitting this. BUT THEN, I was playing some Mumford & Sons last week, and she was like, "THIS IS WEIRD." So I don't trust her judgment that much anymore.

I don't know if this counts but I used to be a huge Celine Dion fan.

ummmmm not liking AFI is ok really...

I don't get flack for it but I really, really like Steely Dan.

Ooh, I have another one.

REM = M-E-H.

haha okay, TWIGBy. I never know, but just remember when I worked at the music store this coworker of mine asking me what bands I like and rattling off this list where almost every single one was "Nope, no thanks!" leaving him so say "maybe I should have asked what you didn't like first."

I recently saw Crystal Castles live: no bueno.

steely dan is experiencing a resugence of unironic popularity!

Steely Dan = music that this guy I sometimes go out with will put on when he wants to make out. THAT'S ALL IT MAKES ME THINK OF NOW.

I grew up listening to it w/ my momma, but at heart I guess I'm just a typical stoner.

I hate U2 with a fiery passion and I probably haven't ever listened to most current "goth" bands.

oh god, I can't believe I'm going to admit this. I kind of really, really like "tik tok".

i like a lot of shitty 90's music, but that's hardly a secret

seriously that harvey danger album kicked ass

yeah i like ke$ha too, SHARE THE SECRET SHAMMMMMEEEEEE

If we all love Ke$ha, is it really a secret shame?

Sorry but Ke$ha belongs in a guilty pleasures thread. Not this one.

I'm actually ashamed of it... barry manilow, now that is a guilty pleasure.

I'm a huge Harvey Danger fan, and I have no shame.
I also love Steely Dan.
Especially Steely Danolanterns.

oh man i saw harvey danger live once, opening for less than jake and some other bands int he late 90's. one of the worst sets ive ever seen a band do. i was REALLY disappointed.

they were so bad people were booing and throwing rocks, when they told the crowd to stop or they'd leave, the entire venue erupted in applause. i was stunned.

Oh god, I rather eat a live cat than hear even half of a King Of Leon song

Don't like dylan
HATE U2

(You know those commercials where they show what some kid was texting before he/she died? I'm always hoping I'll be like "I love Pearl Jam!" Or "Bono Rulz"

Ha! GONE!

And I've said it once, but I'll say it again
Listening to Steely Dan makes me feel like I'm being molested, and the guy doing it has shaggy hair and a handle-bar moustache.

I dunno. It just does.

Guilty loves?
Shakira
Gaga

Yea. It's bad

(The doors can eat it too)

I hate The Shins.
There.
I said it.

I'm supposed to like Baroness, and I think they fucking blow ass.

I have nothing I like that I feel guilty for.
although it's quite clear to me that I probably shouldn't think Bleeding Through have ANY good songs what so ever.

I really, really liked that Lena song. :-(

uh, whatever, i don't care for the beatles. YEAH I SAID IT.

i don't know why anyone likes kesha, guilty pleasure or not. that shit is awful.

i think the beatles are overrated. . .because they didn't get any good til they got on drugs

also, if you spell your name with a dollar sign, you have no fucking talent

hear that Ma$e
go back to church fag

@Naturelle: Omg Kesha. I saw her acts on SNL and wanted to punch her so hard. I don't know if it's the fact that she's like 17 and talking about brushing her teeth with whiskey, or the way she's all glammed up with the cheesy showmanship. Kesha, honey, you do NOT HAVE THE DIVA POWER TO PULL THAT SHIT OFF. Madonna or GaGa, she is not.

Omg- I just learned that Ke$ha and I went to the same highschool.

Oh.

Kesha is 23. I just looked it up, because I didn't believe it was possible that she was 17. Also because I didn't believe it was possible she was under 30. Most annoying person on the planet. I will maybe (MAYBE) give you the music, but how does her "singing" voice not make you want to pull out your hair?

@corey -
1.i feel the same way about Mastodon that you feel about Baroness, like I'm supposed to like them, but they are shit.
2. Bleeding Through has a whole ALBUM of good songs, its a shame they got so shitty so fast.

damnit. i think i threw the extra e in there again.

man, i still have never seen or heard ke(dollar)sha. i gott do this...

Aw, we can't bag on Ma$e. He and I have a special connection.

@Skanko - a lot of people have stopped liking Mastodon in the last 4 years. . .including me.
I think BT had a pretty decent album 2 years ago, but they're going downhill again.
. . .and I'll tell ya, the quality went down when the eye candy bitch joined.
(whatever happened to that nice girl they had on keyboards that wasn't a little whore?)

@Moose - what, you became a pastor so you could bankroll a bunch of dumb religious kooks?

@cory - yeah , i liked the old keyboard girl better anyway, are you talking about this is love, this is murderous? b/c i love that album

@skanko - nah, portrait to the goddess

i think this is love had all of 2 good songs
. . .so did 'the truth"
Declaration, I thought, was pretty decent
and the new one is not as good (but not as much of a downgrade as I thought it would be)
it's thier singer
he needs to 1. stop trying to sing and 2. stop writing lyrics, he's like Corey Taylor's little brother with that shit

yeah portrait was good, i liked love/murderous, and then after that they really lost me.

Yeah, you didn't know I was a pastor?

hey whoa way to fuck up this thread with non pitchfork bait music

@TWIGBy: you can't use that language in front of a pastor.

@-j. That depends. What if it's the Church of Satan?

@twigby - but its METTALLLLLL

@Jay Def: I'm going to make a stab at it and assume that Mace is NOT a pastor of the Church of Satan.

But I'll bet N8 is a pastor of the Church of Satan.

@-j: But I've heard her swear, so I'm pretty sure she's not part of a church that frowns on such things.

He could be

"Rap is the devil" after all

You may call it rap but i call it CRAP
- every dad from 1986 to 1994

Every dad? What about 40 Helens? What did they think?

Don't forget the late Mr. Perfect

@Celisse: she does a great N8ivity Scene.

I can't stand:
The Doors
Aerosmith
Lady Gaga
Lil Wayne

The stuff that I like but probably should not is:
80s hair metal.

BUT WEEZY IS SO CLEVER

I probably shouldn't have liked Dip Set

@cory - but how can you hate killa cam? its almost impossible.

wait it's BAD to not like the doors and aerosmith? hardly!

yeah i actually get surprised that aerosmith gets as much credit as they do.

the doors i do like however.

The Doors are probably my favourite band that I never listen to.

I do not understand the appeal of Pearl Jam AT ALL.

And to me, Kings of Leon sound a lot like Pearl Jam, so do with that what you may.

@skanko - true.. . . And of course he had to leave. Jimmy's hilarity couldn't save them after that.

New Aerosmith is awful.
And I mean the 80s stuff too.
Most people only liked that shit because they had more hoes in their videos than Van Halen

@cory - yeah, jimmy and juelz just arent strong enough, but i wish cam would go back with dipset b/c the production on this new album was attrocious.

like my spelling.

@Twigby-I know someone who likes both The Doors and Aerosmith a lot. So it is bad to them.

well to the rest of society IT'S FINE!

actually no a lot of people like the doors, a band which i can not stand. baby boomer king biscuit flower hour bull shit.

ahhhh see thats how i feel about the grateful dead.

at least the doors rock a little bit. plus if you get stoned and listen to AMERICAN POET, you will never stop laughing.

@Twigby: I totally went out for a beer with Bob Dylan hater last night. HE ALSO HATES NEIL YOUNG. I don't get him :(

I don't even know anyone my age who LIKES the Grateful Dead.

@Mace: People our age who like the Grateful Dead just like pot (and possibly ice cream) a LOT.

All your bands suck.

@emily - hates Bob Dylan and Neil Young. . .DOES HE LIKE LYNARD SKYNARD?

HOW CAN ANYONE HATE SKYNARD?

@emily - i can get why people wouldn't like Neil Young, his voice can be grating, and he's got an offputting attitude a lot of times, i don't mind him though.

@emily OH GOD WHY, HE HATES DYLAN

out of all the older acts to hate, dylan just seems silly to ACTIVELY HATE, its just not like IN YOUR FACE enough to bother me i guess, if i didnt like him.

@twigby: I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING!!!

He also thought that the space helmet date story was NOT weird and sounded like an awesome date. I was wanting to only be friends with this dude, but SERIOUSLY... I don't know if I can even be friends with someone who hates Dylan AND doesn't think space helmet is weird.

The place we were at had a jukebox, and I REALLY should've gotten up to see if it had Dylan or Neil Young on it, and then if so put in all my dollars and forced him to listen. COULDA, SHOULDA, WOULDA!

if he doesn't think the space helmet story is weird....

also would've been cool but at the same time i kind of hate jukebox hogs

I think "all of my dollars" might have been TWO DOLLARS. So, not a lot of dollars. Just enough to get the point across.

@twigby - i LOVE bullying the jukebox

http://s0.ilike.com/play#Bouncing+Souls:Bullying+the+Jukebox:374618:m12728941

UGH NO BULLYING THE JUKE BOX

NO MORE THAN 5 DOLLARS! NO SONGS OVER 4 MINUTES, UNLESS EVERYONE CAN SING ALONG!

oh yeah, you have to play GOOD songs for a bar, no like random deep album cuts or 20 minute songs. like, you are a dick if you go in and play the live version of southern man by crosby stills nash and young.

BUT it prevents someone from walking in
putting in 10 bucks, and playing a whole Tool album cover to cover. people just dont really understand good bar music.

I think the last time I SORT OF took over a jukebox was a couple of months ago when I was at a bar with friends, and 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover came on and this girl didn't know it was Paul Simon and claimed to have never heard him before. I put on like four other Paul Simon songs just to test her. SHE WAS CLUELESS.

That's another one of those things that I have a really hard time even IMAGINING. Ugh.

i was listening to a podcast the other day and the guy (who is in his late 30's early 40's) had NEVER HEARD OF THE WU-TANG CLAN. I don't know how its possible.

Oh, I thought of one more,
I HATE THE POLICE. fucking sting.

i like the police, i hate sting

SALAMI! SALAMI!

oh yeah i was suppose to say this at the top of the thread but I've historically never really liked pavement outside of a handful of songs (summer babe, cut your hair, golden soundz) but i've been thinking of giving them another chance

@twigby - i feel this way about a lot of bands, (Most recently arcade fire) i dont DISLIKE them, but they never did anything for me. I'm going to give A LOT of them, starting with arcade fire, another shot this summer.

Re: Pavement... WHAAAAAAAAAT????? Oh dear.

I probably wouldn't like them AS MUCH had I not had a MASSIVE crush on Stephen Malkmus in high school. I had a whole Malkmus wall. NERD!

In Flames

yes, Jester Race eventually grew on me, but I think they are terribly overrated and I blame them for a lot of what is wrong with metal now (because everyone was trying to play like them for about a decade)

Pavement are kind of hit or miss, but in general I think they were pretty good, and would have liked to have seen thier reunion show (but those assholes sold all the tickets a full year in advance)

oh, and non-Birthday Party Nick Cave doesn't really do it for me

@cory- what about nike cave in grinderman? no pussy blues is a great song.

and in flames is kinda meh, but i like trigger. i dunno, i think maybe thats as hard as swedes can rock.

grinderman was alright, but I just end up putting junkyard on instead

oh. . . . . I should not like half of Deadsy's album (honestly, sometimes they were just Orgy 2, but other times they were a way better version of Orgy)

oh, right
Baroness

can't stand them
gave them plenty of chances
just not digging it
I'll take Torche instead

This is, like, poetry, man.

I have an utterly vehement hatred for these bands, although some I should truly like, I do not, and others that I get embarassed listening to even if the car next to me pulls up playing them and its not actually me playing it:

AC/DC-uugghh, they are so "I just did some meth in the Auto Zone parking lot" rock. Plus the singer looks like a boiled bratwurst about to split at each end

Metallica-"dragster metal".

Nickelback-even if I paid 5 cents for one of their records, I would ask for my Nickelback. Tickle sack.

Hank Williams Sr, Jr-im tired of anyone who wears boots or a bolo (and I don't mean mexicans) proclaiming this man to be a hero of some sort. We get it, you're like every other redneck, you drink a lot, you're racists as long as only white people are in the room, u think u can weld anything and claim to be able to build a house from the ground up when u can't even work a cell phone, u cheat on ur wife with fatter girls who have less teeth, and you think you can kick everyones ass.

Dave Matthews Band-ok, good musicians but seriously, sounds like he recorded vocals after slamming a gallon of milk.

John Mayer-this guys vocals sound like he's tryin to woo a 9 year old. "Fairytale" vocals. Uuuggghh. Fuck....this....guy!

And the most unholy, vile, putrid band that has ever formed......CREED. Nobodys voice is naturally like that, so it tells me he does this on purpose cuz HE thinks it sounds cool. That fuckin "LURE" sound. "LURRRRR-EARRR-rrRRR. So ERE PEARTY FUR UH DAIRM...JURST WURN DIME". Alice in Chains is the only acceptable "lure" and I'm pretty sure that's just the heroin bleedin into his vocals. Long story short.....how do u take ur Crrrreed?.......alcoholic christian please. Ah, the perception of public double standard. Fuck Creed.

on another message board
recently
i saw Dave Matthews and John Mayer get referred to as DATE RAPE MUSIC

I think that's pretty accurate
especially if you've had the displeasure of reading the lyrics to "your body is a wonderland" or "crash into me"

Ewewew! I hate those two even more, now.

Ewewew! I hate those two even more, now.

I just happen to agree with some of the blogs I read and was surprised. I know my friends expect me to love Steely Dan (I do like Deacon Blues, Any major Dude, a couple of others). I have never heard a Rush, AC/DC, Kings of Leon, Lady Gaga, Lynard Skynard song I wanted to hear again. I only like one song by Tom Waits (in the neighborhood) and Metallica (enter sandman). I know Led Zeppelin steals most of their songs and I only like about 3 by them. U2 is very overrated. I hate the Grateful Dead sound. The Best bands in the world at one time: The Beatles (abbey road and white album are their Worst); Neil Young; The Replacements; Love (forever changes); Buffalo Springfield, Jimi Hendrix Experience; early Elvis Costello; Graham Parker and the Rumor. Guilty Pleasure: The Smiths.

rawr ZOMBIE THREAD!

BUT I TOO LOVE THE SMITHS, AS SHOWN BY MY NUMEROUS SMITHS THREADS

Oh that's weird
