Linkin Park would be a big one for me. I listened to them all the way to A Thousand Suns, which ended up being a humongous disappointment for me, considering the genre change.

Quite a few Spanish artists, actually. I'm not giving any names (mostly because I don't remember), all I can say is that I was a stupid little teenager who wanted to please someone other than herself. I'm not saying I'm any smarter now, but I do have my own opinion on music.
|
If someone asked me if I would like to be 10 years younger I would jump at the chance.
However this thread has made me realise that if I was 10 years younger I would have been around 14/15 years old during the whole nu metal thing, so all I can say is thank god for old age. |

Anyway, in regard to Limp Bizkit or whatever, I escaped that one. Never liked them. My mid to late '90s were all mostly punk and pop-punk oriented. I was pretty closed-minded to anything else, but some stuff got through. Then from the late '90s to around 2002, I was pretty much in the drug-induced rave phase. I was shielded from a good bit of crap, but also a lot of good stuff that I'm only discovering now. I guess it's better late than never. But speaking of Nu-Metal, the one band I've liked since the '90s and to this day is Deftones. I think I still like them now because of the nostalgia effect, but I'm ok with that. |
Cracker. I think it was a Camper Van Beethoven phase that went horribly wrong. CVB sucks also.

yeah but they took skinheads bowling man....

Steve Vai?
Fucking hell :( I'm talking about the late 70s early 80s when they had Glenn Hughes, Ian Paice & Jon Lord in the band. Ironically i'm listening to a Deep Purple album with Coverdale on vocals right now. |
Okay, I used to like The Killers, The Courteeners and Fort Minor. I will have some left over stick.
|
There's quite a lot of stuff I used to listen to 9 or 10 years ago that I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole now: Lostprophets, Finch, Green Day, Sum 41, Slipknot, Funeral For A Friend, Hundred Reasons, InMe, Papa Roach, erm... Limp Bizkit.
There's been some other offenders since who linger in my mind like an embarrassing night out, some cheesy power metal bands like Dragonforce, Edguy and Hammerfall. Even Guns 'n' Roses and Led Zeppelin bore me to tears now despite loving them at one stage. |
I'll occasionally throw on Insomniac by Green Day (with last.fm turned off for obvious reasons) if I'm feeling nostalgic. It's funny though because I feel the same way about Led Zeppelin, got huge into them at around the same age as everyone else, but nowadays I just have no desire to listen to them. As for GNR, well I never really cared for them anyways so no loss there for me.
|
I still have all my Green Day CDs thrown in a box somewhere, but I just don't feel much desire to listen to them. Dookie is probably the only one that would make me feel nostalgic but I would more than likely turn it off after a few songs if I was to listen to it right now.

There are bands who I stopped liking due to a style change or losing the uniqueness, but I still respect them highly for at least a string of good albums and singles that make up for all the crap after that (yes, I mean U2, Simple Minds, and a couple of others from that era). Then there are bands that make me go "What was I thinking?!!!!!" only to arrive at the answer that I was a teen stuck in Small Dot, MI, and trying to find alternatives from the Styx and Journey my classmates listened to. A lot of the change into not liking a few bands by '84 was thankfully due to discovering far better music and even Hardcore Punk through a few new friends and not just getting tired and not finding anything else...in other words, evolution.
A Flock of Seagulls. Yes, them. OK, "Wishing" still is pretty damn good (their fluke good song), but I took a very brief re-visit and discovered why I seriously had to move on in music by 1984. True, they were on Bill Nelson's label for a record (possibly the only other good one they had), but once they "flew" into the Pop world and MTV/US hype, they really turned into the band that I'm certainly embarrassed to say I liked at one time in life. At least Modern English had a good album in After the Snow before they went into their ultra crap days with the guitarist trying out the Captain Hook look (the mistake that was Stop/Start...), A Flock of Seagulls don't have enough good songs to make a good full album in my opinion. Do I have to mention Men at Work? Yeah, they knew how to play and had a couple of decent songs ("Overkill" being THE one, maybe "It's a Mistake" being the other one), but my BS detector was not working to it's fullest then. I got the singles one by one 82-3, but their quirkiness was pretty forced by the summer of my last interest in anything they did. When a fall-off from fame is with a record that does not do anything for me, such as "Everything I Need" from the Two Hearts album, I knew that I was not missing anything at all in my evolution and finding my way with my music listening. I still need to find a Late 80's example to show that my BS detector was not fully operating at 100 percent, though. I need to really dive into my memories for the rest of the story. Expect total CHEESE! Compared to many of the bands listed here, I liked some real crap. Some of the bands mentioned in other posts in this thread...and I mean some...are still with merit. (There are also a few "why did I listen to it?!!!" thread winners here, but you know what I mean). Maybe sounds that are best filed under Guilty Pleasures now, but trust me, there was a lot that went into the Cutout Bins with ease I could also state a few big Top 40 songs pre-1982 that could top most of the bands listed in this thread, but I don't really want to dive into a bunch of serious crap. I put that down to childhood, and that's that. |

I never liked Rick Dee's "Disco Duck," but I could vote that an another should have been long forgotten happening from my day. Anderea True's "More More More" would possibly be another one, although at a slower BPM. |

Well I like to just kinda forget about my taste from ages 10-13, since it was full of Linkin Park, Green Day, P.O.D., 3 Doors Down, and bands of that nature. That also was my classic rock phase, well up to 14 and I feel the same way about those bands, I was into Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, The Clash etc. and I don't listen to them anymore either.
My biggest recent(ish) example is Bloc Party/Arctic Monkeys/Kaiser Chiefs/that british indie stuff that I listened to from 14-15. Bloc Party used to be my favorite band around Silent Alarm and their EP, after that though, they just got progressively worse and by the time Intimacy came out I had completely lost interest (even though I did download the album). |
One band that I used to really love but don't anymore is AFI. I was obsessed with AFI from when they released Sing The Sorrow up until when they released Decemberunderground. Sing The Sorrow was an album that I lived inside for months, the album booklet has had it's fair share of wear and tear from reading all the lyrics and looking at all the artwork. I moved on from them a long time ago but I still stick on either Sing The Sorrow, Black Sails In The Sunset or The Art Of Drowning once in a blue moon for the nostalgia.
|
Block Party became a big thing for a short time not too long ago. Green Day was for a while, their first 3 albums. U2 was a big favourite of mine for a couple of years. They put on a good concert. Now I don't even touch their albums anymore. The Black Keys though not a bad band... can't listen to them anymore.

Most New Romantic synthpop bands for me, a la Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran and the Human League. I don't hate any of these bands, it's just I've realised that there is a lot more to music than frilly haircuts and feelgood pop.

I used to own a bunch of DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince tapes. I don't listen to them anymore. Same with Kim Mitchell.
|
Most of the pop music I grew up on. Hard to believe but I was big on Madonna, NKOTB, Take That, etc.
Now I hardly listen to pop or boy/girl bands. |

One of the artists I used to really like was Nicki Minaj. After not seeing Eve forever, I thought maybe Nicki Minaj might be my new female rapper but now fame has gotten to her and she is a absolute trash in my view.
NICKI MINAJ |
She always was trash mate.

Nicki has SO much talent. But she doesn't use it.
Her cameo on Monster set the stage for her to do whatever she wanted. Too bad she didn't live up to it. Everything after it has been mediocre to horrible to embarrassing. |

Her time is UP. Her second album isn't what I'd call a success.
