  1. I'd definitely take FOB over ALT.
  2. Chad was great in the Stranger Than Fiction movie. I know so many people that RHCP as much as the obsessors love them. I'm pretty indifferent to them. I don't care much about musicians and their instruments, but there are a couple of RHCP songs I love. Most of the funky stuff is awful though.
  3. I felt the need to listen to some Symarip again today. That band has always meant so much to me. It's like everything they do just hits perfectly.
  4. That's how a lot of people describe their hate for Sublime. They met someone in college who they hated who loved Sublime. I never experienced that so to me Sublime is just some band with decent songs in a genre where I'd rather listen to other bands. I think a band I hate like that i Limp Bizkit. It wasn't about hating the people that loved them it was more of actually hating the music and that everyone else loved them. Now that it's cool to hate them I feel weird about it. 2005 era FOB annoys me. Their earlier and later stuff is fine. I'm not sure if that stuff is good or if it's just more bearable than their 2005 stuff. Their debut is like generic emo/pop punk and their later stuff is generic pop.
  5. I'm indifferent to FOB too, but I feel like many people are.
  6. I think LS is in that category as well for me. Nelly Furtado is not. I enjoy her music. She's a pretty great songwriter even if I don't actively listen to her music. I don't have that much against LS. I mostly like songs about Circle K and lake beaches. And folk songs and pop songs. I'm not that into folk music or pop music, so I listen to folk songs and pop songs when they're played in other genres.
  7. As a contrarian I usually love Sublime and Pennywise because most people hate them so bad.
  8. A lot of people really hate Nickelback like those bands. I did write "even" there because they are pretty awful bad and somewhat deserve the hate. RHCP really belongs in this category too. It's nuts meeting someone that really loves RHCP.
  9. Don't like that at all.
  10. Bands like Grateful Dead, the Doors, Sublime, Pennywise, the Eagles, even Nickleback, are in a special category for me. Bands I feel super indifferent to that other people either love or hate obsessively. I think if Grateful Dead comes on the radio, I don't mind them, but seeing them live seems like the ultimate nightmare. My contrarian nature makes me always disagree with the person I'm talking to when it comes to these bands.
  11. Rock n Roll All Nite might be the only KISS song I like, but DRC is more in the "I don't actively listen to it but won't hate it if it comes on file".
  12. I think a lot of music that is "rocking" is music that is usually called Hard rock. I think there are many genres in the rock n roll realm that have qualifiers that I like (punk rock, folk rock, indie rock, surf rock, garage rock) and some that I usually dislike (blues rock, hard rock, grunge rock, prog rock), but I guess what I'm referring to is songs that don't really need that qualifier.
  13. That sounds nice!
  14. I used to dislike the Strokes mostly cuz they seemed too cool. I've started liking them lately. I don't like either of those other songs. The Darkness is catchy. That might be the Dire Straits song I think is fine if it comes on. I've met people that hate Start Me Up. I don't. I prefer it to many other Stones songs. But Audioslave is a very good example here. Can't stand that band. Joan Jett is an example I wanted to make. So many songs I love (Run Away/You Don't Know What You've Got and Bad Reputation) So many songs I hate. I Love Rock n Roll is in the middle of those. I feel meh about it. Same with the Who. I think I absolutely love most of their catalog and they have songs I wish weren't so "rock music" and they have songs I fucking detest, like "Won't Get Fooled Again".
  15. Most of the Beatles White Album and Let It Be (The Beatles were mostly good even after their psychedelic era though) The Rolling Stones after their great psychedelic era everyone hates Pink Floyd after their psychedelic era Later Foo Fighters! Ac/Dc Zz top The Doors Songs like Elevation and Vertigo by U2 (big offenders here) Mid 80s Springsteen possibly Kings of Leon But it also just the "We play rock music" vibe.
  16. Early Green Day is great. Eyeliner is great. JD Vance sucks.
  17. I think this explains a lot about my taste in music sometimes. I guess when I mean rock music I dont mean rock n roll or different genres of rock. I think there was a specific rock music that appeared after the psychedelic rock where bands went "back to the roots". Shit just sucks. This isn't just about "classic rock" either, but it's of course a big part of it.
  18. I was only 5 at the time, but I feel they were much bigger than most of us younger folks can remember. American Idiot songs were so huge, and I feel like Dookie was even bigger.
  19. I remember listening to Shenanigans at the record store in 2002 because I likes Basket Case. And I hated the Fang cover they did. And pretty much disliked it all. Went back and listened to Nimrod a few months later and loving it and bought it. Then I bought superhits. Since we didn't get the real GD albums in Norway I had to go the UK to buy Kerplunk and was so shocked they had another album. When I heard 2000 Lightyears Away I was sold.
  20. Dookie usually comes out very early in life.
  21. Yeah, I never got into crust punk.
