-Generic sounding rock power chords. Just terrible.
-Skits. **** skits. -When someone wants to come off as a good singer and starts imitating gospel/soul phrasing. |
When backing vocalists are not all roughly the same height (or width). that's just...that's just not on!

I don't like it when people say they listen to anything. No one likes all types of music.

And about those pop punk vocals, I ****ing hate them too. The type of pop punk you posted is music I despise, yet there's a lot of pop punk bands I absolutely love. |
I hate when generic twelve-bar blues progressions are thrown in as half-assed filler tracks on otherwise fantastic albums. For example, CCR's Cosmos Factory, easily my favorite CCR album, fantastic standout tracks like Ramble Tamble, Run Through the Jungle, Who'll Stop the Rain, Up Around the Bend etc. But then you've got Oobie Doobie, My Baby Left Me, Before You Accuse Me etc, which aren't bad tracks, CCR are damn good at their twelve-bars, but it just bugs you because you know they have the songwriting talent to spice that **** up so much more, and when they're releasing 2 or 3 albums a year it's obvious that they were rushing (or being rushed). Don't get me wrong, I love me some twelve-bars, and I jump on the opportunity to jam twelve-bars any time I'm in the same room as another musician, but holy sweet **** are they overused by otherwise brilliant musicians.

For the most part I hate falsetto singing. There are a few exceptions.
I am not a fan of long intros especially if they're not layered or evolving. This also goes for songs that are so subtle in changes that they seem looped, such a Carnage Visors by the Cure. Almost 30 minutes long and nothing seems to be happening. I also tend to get irritated when a song keeps repeating the same word throughout a song. Even though I like the Cars. Ric Ocasek is the worst offender. An example from one of his solo records. "They Tried" They tried to tear you away Yeah, they tried Oh, they tried to lie in your face Yeah, they tried Oh, they tried to tip you off sweetly Yeah, they tried Oh, they tried to get on your good side Yeah they tried, they tried They never got the picture They never got the joke They never felt your fire They only saw the smoke They tried to tell you what's right Yeah, they tried Oh, they tried to push you around, yeah Oh, they tried to be what you wanted They tried, they tried, they tried, yeah They tried to get you for nothing, yeah Oh, they tried They never got too conspicuous They never felt quite right They never knew your darkness They only saw your light Oh, they tried to make you out stupid They tried, they tried Oh, they tried to come on like Cupid They tried, they tried, they tried Oh, they tried to tell you what's real Oh, they tried Yeah, they tried to stay on your heels They tried, they tried, they tried They never knew what ticked you They never knew for sure They always said they picked you They never knew what for Ah, but they tried Oh, they tried to pick you apart Yeah, they tried Oh, they tried to be your best friend, yeah Yeah, they tried to top you off sweetly Yeah, they tried, yeah To get on your good side, yeah To get on your good side, yeah To get on your good side, yeah To get on your good side They tried To top you off sweetly Yeah, they tried |
All these quasi-hipster bands like Imagine Dragons that everyone seems to like for some reason. I can't reach for the radio dial faster if I tried whenever they come on.
