Good musical artists you are tired of hearing

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Like the topic said, what are some musical artists, or acts, that you are just getting tired of hearing? You know, you don't mind hearing them even once a day, but hearing them over and over just wears on you.

For my part, I have two artists. The first one is Adele. She is a pretty good pianist, and a damn good singer. However, she has just too many hits off of her last album getting a ton of airtime on radio and talent competitions, and they all are about the same exact subject. Good artist, but she needs some more material than "my break-up sucked".

The second one is...a lot more debatable as to being "good", but it is Rihanna. She has the ability to make decent songs. In fact, each year she's done at least one song I enjoyed. 2012 had "Take Care", and 2011 had "Only Girl (In the World)". Problem is, she's not doing one single a year. She's doing 4 or 5, and most of them are crap (in fact, "Birthday Cake" is literally the worst song I've ever heard). She needs to slow down and take a break between albums. And if her record producer won't let her, she needs to find a new one, before she collapses on stage from exhaustion.

Do people still listen to the radio?

I don't, so I don't really have a lot of incite for this thread... instead, I'll bring up artists I'm tired of hearing people bring up for no good reason.

Justin Bieber - Yeah, I get it, kid got huge for much the same reason pretty much any of the Disney pop 'stars' got famous, and the following on places like BookFace or wherever else can get grating. But bringing up Bieber just to bash him or make fun of him on music videos or in threads that literally have nothing to do with him - or even pop music - has become even more widespread now. And it was barely funny when it started.

By much the same token, One Direction - Really, the hate on 'boy bands' in general is just really something I'll never get. They make cookie-cutter mainstream pop music. So what? Same thing as with Bieber, why the hell do you have to bring them up on a gorram Bring Me The Horizon Youtube video just because it has 5 dislikes? Though worse than that are some of the comparisons; I once saw somebody say that Matchbox 20 sucked because they're basically just an older One Direction. No. Just no.

This happens with just about every band I listen to, honestly.

I get so absorbed in them and keep listening to an album or song over and over and over...and soon enough I'm just tired of it.

For the record, what I listen to most is prog metal/rock and grunge rock. So an example of each would be Dream Theater and Alice in Chains. I love the hell out of both bands, but at some point I just stop enjoying the songs since I listen to them so many times over.

However, it's great to not listen to the songs for months, come back to them, and enjoy them just as much as I once did.

As much as I like Daft Punk, if I hear Get Lucky one more time I will start killing people. The last night out at university before I came home for the summer, it was played five times... before we even left our flat.

 

[w9496]

I'm sick of Led Zeppelin. It wouldn't bug me as much if radio stations knew that they had more than 3 songs.

I'm also tired of the B-52s. We have a list of radio stations we can play at work, and I always choose the rock one, but the Love Shack is always played every time I work. I've been keeping track, and I've heard that song 6 out of the last 7 shifts.

 

[Pink Gregory]

I could quite happily never hear Foo Fighters ever again.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I love the song and the shiny funkiness of it hasn't worn off yet but I listen to the radio at work and it's on all of the time. I think it's great now but I can see myself getting bored of it in a couple of weeks.
So far, I still get excited when it comes on.
Same goes for 'Blurred Lines' by Robin Thicke.

 

[Esotera]

Mindless Self Indulgence, I played at least one of their albums every day for about a month a while back, and now I'm completely tired of them even though the music is awesome.

As for music played in public places, I can't think of any good songs I'm tired of hearing, but could rattle off a very large list of bad songs...

 

[jdogtwodolla]

We hear good musical artists enough to get tired of them in this day and age? Really, where are these people?

I kid. My choice would be Weezer, only because the radio station only plays one song by them ever and that station is the only good rock station around. Actually it's not that great of a rock station but it's one of maybe two or three.

Unless you like pop music,I don't think you're meant to like it. Read something about it being a parody of pop songs and artists that imitated their style. Don't quote me on that.

OT: Lets erase all the tapes that have that Gotye song.

 

[Darkasassin96]

Elvis, My grandmother got satellite radio and the only station she listens to is the Elvis channel.

The king of Rock has a great voice and all but I dont want to only listen to him on our 22 hour drive to DC. Just saying.

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

Macklemore.
I simply don't care about him. He's great, sure, I'll admit that, but that doesn't mean I have to care. What's worse is when people tell me "He's from Seattle" like it's supposed to mean something. For the record, I live really close to Seattle so that's probably why people think that'll strike a chord in me.
Other than him, Hans Zimmer.
This is more of my inner hipster coming out. He's probably the greatest movie composer who ever lived (although my personal favorite is Clint Mansell) but this is just that I-don't-like-him-because-we're-supposed-to-like-him thing. It's like how your favorite character in a thing isn't usually the main character because you're supposed to like him, if that makes any sense.

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

In a more specific form, I'm tried of the news using Skrillex as background music for every story they do on the internet (and of course trolls, hackers, malicious people out to get your money, 'cyber bullying', all that tripe). And tired of people using Skrillex in general, despite liking some of the individual pieces.

And Two Steps From Hell. Really good with triumphant or epic music. Used by every boy and their dog.

 

[windlenot]

A lot of people toss Lil Wayne around as being revolutionary, or whatever. For the most part, I can't bloody stand him.

 

[Dangit2019]

I like Macklemore, but "Thrift Shop" got outdated months ago, and the humor of it gets lost in the radio censor anyway.

 

[Darks63]

Cory Taylor Between Slipknot, Stone Sour, and this new song with David Grohl he is just way over exposed right now.


The Radio Also Ran Avenged Sevenfold completely into the ground for me too and that weird thing is i only listen to the radio maybe 5 hours a week total.

How'd I get ninja'd on Rihanna!?

It's really too bad that she's literally not allowed to stop. Seven albums in... six years, I think.

Also, if it makes you feel better, Adele said that she's taking a break, and that she may come back for "27" or so, where she hopes to have significantly happier, or at least different, songs.

OT: If Rihanna is already taken (screw you, Take Care was the best song of 2012), then I'll go with... well, I guess I've burned out a bit with Portishead, but that's my fault (they've only released three albums, and their band is eighteen years old).

I'm glad to hear that about Adele. She really is talented, and relatively fresh in this era of pop music (there are other artists doing the same "piano and vocals" thing, but not near as many as, say, rappers and boy bands), she just needs new material.

As for "Take Care", it wasn't my favorite song of the year, if you recall from my review of 2012's Billboard chart, but it was my second favorite, and probably objectively better than the song I put at number one, which was "Everybody Talks" by Neon Trees.

I have never liked Led Zeppelin, I find them boring and tedious. Pretty much every classic rock band that is just plain, blues influence hard rock like ACDC and Queen I would not be bothered by if I never had to listen to them again. Also Animal Collective, I just dislike them.

Also fuck...

Pop singers with piano/acoustic guitar.
Dave Grohl, he is pretty much everywhere nowadays.
Melodic-Metalcore bands, they are all pretty much shit anyway.
Pop-Punk in general.
'Ironic' music like Psy and Macklemore.
Radio-friendly indie music like Jake Bugg, The Strypes and pretty much every band that rips off Oasis.
Guys playing depressing music with an acoustic guitar. You are not Elliott Smith or Nick Drake so stop trying.
