Bands you LOVE to HATE! (singer, metal, Courtney Love, Coldplay)

Well, I'm a writer, so a good portion of my favorite artists are (in my mind) brilliant songwriters.

I can get some good inspiration from the sonic side of things as well though.

Yeah I understand that, what are some of your favorite bands/artists?

mr. goth glam · 10-18-2007, 01:15 AM

Bob Dylan
Tom Waits
Tom Petty
Nine Inch Nails
PJ Harvey
Tori Amos
Sonic Youth
Marilyn Manson
Rob Zombie
Bruce Springsteen
Smashing Pumpkins
Radiohead
Warren Zevon
The Ramones
Elliot Smith
Elvis Costello
R.E.M.
Pearl Jam
The Clash

And a whole lot more that I'm not thinking of right now.

Minus the Zombie and Manson I can dig it, welcome.

mr. goth glam · 10-18-2007, 01:24 AM

Thanks.

And I know Zombie/Manson aren't everyone's cup of tea.

Heh.

**sleepy jack** · 10-18-2007, 01:27 AM

I just can't stand metal =)

Wayfarer · 10-18-2007, 01:27 AM

That's a pretty awesome list. Tom Waits is pretty much the best musician ever IMO.

And I like Zombie/Manson. Well, some of their stuff anyway. Can't get into Manson's newest album.

mr. goth glam · 10-18-2007, 01:34 AM

You know, I had a hard time getting into Manson's new album as well, but it's definitely starting to grow on me.

As for not being able to stand metal, well, I can sort of appreciate that, too, since a lot of metal bugs the crap out of me.

But there's still some good stuff in there for me, which is something I can say for a few other genres I wouldn't particularly label myself a serious fan of.

Why the hell would anyone LOVE to hate a band? If they aren't worth a damn to even listen to them, then they shouldn't be worth the effort to hate them on a constant basis.

It really doesn't take that much effort to hate a band, what are you talking about?
