I agree that P-nut is a great bassist but that doesn't change the fact they suck. I Actually think Chad Sexton is a really ****ty drummer to be honest. I've a friend that's really into them and I've heard all of it and actually borrowed Grassroots from him a while back and the only semi appealing track on there is Applied Science. And their lyrics are embarrassingly bad.

That made me sad too. When im in the mood, i can play SRV all day long. Its upbeat enough in places to play full blast and well, its blues, so it hits the spot when im feeling...blue.

God, what a horrendous paragraph but whatever, my brain refuses to work today.

Interesting that you liked 'Applied Science' and don't like Sexton; that's his standout track! I guess their lyrics do suck unless your high, but lyrics aren't really a concern of mine anyways... :)

^Probably one of the reasons I liked it, he did do a good job in that one to be honest. I think it's about time for them to call it quits though, they're 40 year old guys singing about how "Guns (Are For Pussies)"

Yeah, that and they have been making fake ska sounding nu-metal for the past fifteen years...

REM
Metallica
Bob Marley
Genesis
Michael Jackson
Aerosmith
Grateful Dead
Rage Against The Machine

lots more i'm sure, but that's off the top of my head...

R.E.M.? Bob Marley??

I like Grateful Dead and RATM too but I can understand why someone would dislike them.

effing hate REM.

i hate that Bob Marley is seen as the be all end all to reggae/jamaican music.

How could I forget Metallica? I hate Lars and James. I used to really like Megadeth, Rob was in Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves and Cliff seems cool enough so I'll let them pass.

I agree with you about their earlier albums being good, I even like the self-titled as it was the album that I first heard. I eventually came to appreciate Transistor as well, despite my initial reluctance. After that, boring sappy shyte.

But uh, that video is complete crap, I don't see that turning a hater into a fan in a million years.

I understood what you were saying. I think.

We used to listen to SRV on roadtrips. Kinda nice when you're making your way on a Texas country road.

yeah it is frustrating. bob marley is far from the best, he is just the intro. i have a theory about the laziness of potheads. they hear bob marley...and enjoy it because they smoke weed (not that he isn't enjoyable without it). then, they decide they love reggae but as a result of the weed are far too lazy to look any further into the genre.

i love smacking people with peter tosh after someone professes their love of bob marley. peter tosh is better and he isn't even the best, in my opinion.

I agree. No Country for CanwllCorfe

I'm a little frustrated by the Marley hate actually. He's seen as overrated and hated for it even though he had just about the perfect voice for Jamaican music and was part of it from the beginning (like, before reggae existed). The music that Bob Marley and the Wailers made with Lee 'Scratch' Perry is essential to anybody interested in reggae. Here's some proof..

i wasn't hating on marley...simply stating how he should be an intro to a deeper exploration of reggae. people tend to stop with him. my interest in marley led to peter tosh, burning spear, steel pulse, and a whole load of other reggae artists that i felt had as much if not more talent than he did. i still like and listen to him to this day, though.

It's not necessarily Marley hate, moreso the fact that people are too damn lazy to listen to more Reggae and judge the whole genre solely on him. I mean do people judge Soul purely on The Four Tops? No they go looking but in Reggae they don't. Their loss I say.

I also agree, no country for sidewinder. I can stand a bit of classic country here or there, but I won't purposely put it on. There's some slightly twangy indie rock I like too, but that's the extent of it. Cowboys can suck it otherwise.

I know. It's just nearly impossible to find a high quality YouTube video of one of their older songs. And I have been playing that song repeatedly on grooveshark this week sooo I figured I'd give it a try... :)

Alright, here goes my list:

Creed, Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Emo (pick a band), Rascal Flatts and pretty much all of current "country" music (someone once told me that Rascal Flatts was better than Johnny Cash - I almost slapped her), ABBA, Paula Cole (though she was a backup singer for Peter Gabriel in the early 90's, which is in her favor), there's more, I'm sure...

The Unicorns. Whenever I hear their carefully ripped-off indie hooks and feel that annoying childish vibe they send off (not the good kind of childish, either), I facepalm at Kenyan speed.

You monster!

Elvis Costello :(

Why is that Plum? Who could resist 'Radio Radio' or 'Watching The Detectives'?

If someone's voice annoys me it's hard for me to get into them, even if I respect them as musicians

Also I will never listen to Bikini Kill ughhhhh

Noooooooooooooooo:(:(:(

This is bad.

That makes sense. I've managed to get into some bands where I despise the singer's voice. Bloc Party for example. The Hold Steady on the other hand, I won't touch with a 30ft pole.

Oh, also, I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this but, if someone I used to like played them a lot around me and I eventually disliking the person, I will dislike the band most of the time too. This really obnoxious hipster I slept with last summer ADORES him.

Interesting observation. I don't speak to my Hold Steady friend much anymore...

Aww. I was sad when I saw that they disbanded. I like the mixture of happy music and depressing lyrics.

Michael Jackson - Just dun likim' (I have no opinions about the man, honestly, just don't like the music).

U2 - Eww.

Most female artists - Call me sexist, it just hurts my ears when girls sing for some reason. Only women with stronger voices can massage my ear drums just right, but it's a rare occurrence still.

I'm pretty opposite in the sexist department... I'll tolerate a band if there's a chick singer who sounds sexy. I don't even care if the music is crap. If I like her voice, I'll at least listen to it for fantasizing purposes.

A woman's voice is a major turn on for me.
I guess that has something to do with it.

^ Agree
John Doe's voice, from X has to be the biggest turn on for me ever, or Julian Casablancas.
And of course Morrissey.

I can't stand bands with dudes with high pitched voices.

I think I'm more attracted to bands with higher pitched male vocalists. Not exclusively just the higher extreme over the lower extreme, like Eddie Vedder.

I like rough male voices, or melodic, deep ones, I think.

I'm guessing this is because the first band I ever really got into (the Clash), my favored singer in the band had the rough, sexy voice.

I won't go as far as to say they hurt my ears, but it's also a rare occurrence for me to enjoy a female singer. Most just do absolutely nothing for me. Maybe I just can't relate.

Agreed, and most of the female singer I do enjoy are soul singers.

I have NO idea why female vocals do it for me...they just do.

Distillers
Hole
Veruca Salt
Breeders
Liz Phair
Elastica
Mazzy Star - UGH..so hot.

I refuse to listen to bands with female vocalists, such as Yes & Led Zeppelin.

Plant is a bitch. Don't forget Aerosmith.

I'm usually in the camp who doesn't care much for female vocals, but Alison Mosshart's voice really does it for me... :love:
