They literally ushered in a new paradigm in music. I can't remember exactly which member of Motley Crue said it, but the comment was "when I heard smells like teen spirit, I knew it was over."

which is why I don't liek Nirvana

I liked the hair bands, and pretty much hated grunge and the dark hole it sucked rock into for 7 or 8 years

But they sing about love... and hobbits.

there has been a grand total of one person that i have made a conscious effort to stop being friends with in the last ten years (the guy referred to in this thread), and the last meaningful interaction i had with him involved led zeppelin

i made some crack about how all led zeppelin songs were either about "my baby" and the loss or retrieval thereof, or hobbits

and while everyone else was laughing, he glares at me completely straight-faced and says "show me ONE SONG that has ANYTHING to do with hobbits"

i had to pretend i didn't hear him so i wouldn't jack his stupid face with my beer bottle

lmao

what songs are about hobbits? seriously i just wanna know. i never even thought about that

misty mountain hop for one, p sure there is another one but i can't think of it right now

edit: battle of evermore, not misty mountain hop

oh ramble on, that's it

Bron-yr-Aur and Bron-yr-aur stomp are about some english hillbilly cottage they went to so they could do some writing.

i assume creed was #1 here and NKOTB #2

Alice in Chains
Smashing Pumpkins

Well, I include all "Pop" pretty much. Never could stand stuff like N'Sync or all such analogues going back to NKOTB. Never could stand stuff like Brittney or any of her analogues going back to Tiffany or Debbie Gibson, or earlier. I likewise can't stand most R&B crap, people like Janet Jackson, or that ilk.

For more rock oriented stuff, to name just a few:

Tears for Fears
Live
Puddle of Mudd
Kid Rock
Lots of Hair Metal, especially Extreme.

I figured this was a given

those two are just the main ones I can't tolerate on any level.

oh i <3 tears for fears and extreme!! booo. :P

KID ROCK. omg. that guy can DIAF (not literally though b/c that's mean and i would feel bad if he actually did). but seriously, shit music, stupid antics, and really unattractive. bleh.

Yah I love Tears For Fears. Didnt' think they were unpopular for anyone, but we all have our preferences.

also, about Morrisey...that's a voice that I find universally people either like or don't. Not many people admit to his voice growing on them...

I'm not a big fan. Gets very monotonous for me. But, the music is very good...brilliant instrumentation.

CAN NOT STAND Tears for Fears. Just takes literally about 5-10 seconds, and I'm just about screaming at the radio, "OMFG SHUT UP YOU WHINY BRITISH FUCKTARDS". I find the Disturbed cover of Shout to be pretty funny, but if I hear the original group come on the radio, the channel is switched immediately.

As for extreme, well, I generally can't stand "power ballads" in general, and that's what they made their name on. (and their other stuff just sucked too.) Add in the fact that my worst girlfriend ever (I called her 'The Unmentionable One' for years afterward), her FAVORITE song in the world was "More Than Words", and she listened to it ALL THE TIME. I didn't like the song even when we were going out, but I put up with it, now I not only hate the song, it has really bad associations for me, so hearing it, especially shortly after that breakup, makes me want to hunt down the lead singer and strangle him to death with his own entrails.

Tears for Fears have at least 6 classic songs. I can't imagine not liking them.

Personal taste.

I have a visceral hatred for the Beach Boys... people look at me like I'm un-American for it.

I also hate Aerosmith... I get the same reaction... "how can you hate Aerosmith?!?! what what what???"

Telling people you think Led Zeppelin sucks usually earns you a weird look.

ehh i don't think zep sucks

but i do think robert plant came extremely close to ruining their music for me

i think i would've liked them a lot more if they were instrumental

people like them because they were an incredible live band that took you on a trip every concert

just like the grateful dead

but the dead were horrible live. From my own experiences, the best thing about a dead show was the impromptu travelling phreak show that followed them around...

I don't like them at all. I've never seen them live but I doubt that would change my opinion.

Maybe if I did massive amounts of drugs...?

you'd fit right into the phreak show

Lol how so? I don't like them!

Live had one album that was good/excellent (included "pain lies by the riverside") but then they went freaking ultracheese and never looked back unfortunately

I also absolutely hate Aerosmith, his voice is awful, he looks like one of those creepy rats from that animated rat movie from the 80's??? anyway

Also, one band that has been hugely popular that i cannot stand is Collective Soul, the guys voice is so weak and their music is also

I thought "Throwing Copper" by Live was one of my more favorite albums.

I was young when it came out, so I was unexposed to much, so that might play into it.
