thongrider Posted April 2 Posted April 2 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. Quote

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. 1 Quote

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". Quote

_Kyle_ Posted April 3 Posted April 3 there is a theory that songs about "rocking" inherently suck. I kind of agree but I do like Joan Jett I Love Rock N Roll. but for the most part, I feel that it is true 1 Quote

I kind of agree but I do like Joan Jett I Love Rock N Roll. but for the most part, I feel that it is true 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.

Hate is a bit strong of a word for me as I usually like at least a handful of songs from artists/groups I generally don’t like. That said, I think the worst part of rock music is jam bands like The Grateful Dead or Phish. With them I can use the word hate lol 1 Quote

With them I can use the word hate lol 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. Quote

_Kyle_ Posted April 3 Posted April 3 At this point I'm just asking Thongy what he likes just out of sheer curiosity. but any thoughts on this? I think he died right after it. I've thought about posting it on the Burger King thread a few times. Quote

Dafuq? *In my Stephen A. Smith voice* You’re wrong and here’s why! 1 Quote
