Lack O' Music 2

[zen5887]

Since I've started going to uni I've found I can listen to ANY song and like it.. Or at least something about it. Some songs I like because of the sheer ability of the musicians, others because they are fun and sometimes I like songs just because they are damn catchy.

For example - I like a lot of pop, I spend a fair bit of time listening to MTV and stuff just because. I like The Veronicas cos they have sweet harmonies, I like Pink cos shes gutsy, I like Christina Aguilera cos she has a powerful voice.

I really like hip hop for the way the use their words, obviously not so much mainstream hip hop but that stuff is awesome at parties!

If you spend less time hating music it makes thing go smoother!

Not to piss off anyone else, but I really hate when people reduce a genre to one band. I know alot of people who say they "hate" rap and hip-hop, and while agree that most POP rap and hip-hop is nothing more then a worthless musician and a skilled producer, there is plenty of really good rap. Jurassic 5 is an amazing band and uses some very interesting rhythms in their music. Not to mention A Tribe Called Quest who sample some great Jazz standards in their songs. The point I guess im trying to make is that while yea alot of modern and popular rap and pop artists are absolute failures (dont get me started on soulja boy) there are alot of really good other artists in the genre.

I'm going to take this lovely opportunity to rip you on sampling.

The #1 reason I hate Hip-Hop/Rap/Modern R&B is sampling. They're stealing another artist's music so they can make their crappy song slightly more interesting. Why don't they stop plagiarizing and write their own freaking music. I get it, Vanila Ice added an extra eighth note to the bassline which he shamelessly ripped off of Queen and David Bowie. Morons.

Oh yeah.

I believe its more than just sampling, but some covers just don't do the original any justice. I've heard one good cover lately, it was Shadowside doing Dio's Rainbow In The Dark. And i can respect that. But most of the time a band just hacks up a song and makes me hate the original.

I dislike everything that is in the English charts right now except for The Kings Of Leon.
Apart from that and Gangsta Rap (except NWA), Disney pop/rock and the Hard House/Techno/Chiptune rubbish that is in a lot of the clubs today, I am willing to give everything a try.

I agree with you on the UK charts, except I don't like Kings Of Leon either, what a terrible mix of mediocre "indie" rock, bland innofensive pop and soulless RnB.

Also, you know clubs that play chiptune? Holy shit, do want!

That last statement made baby Jesus cry.

I like rock of all genres, and some metal. Not a fan of over heavy metal, more the classic metal of slayer and metallica, and maiden of course. Also like electronica, classical, drum n' bass (ala Qemists and Pendulum) and some dance music (but it has to have something going for it. I recommend The Potbelleez)

I dislike most rap music, other than that of Jay Z, Will Smith, some of the funny Eminem songs and those fellas who did It's Tricky and Walk This Way with Aerosmith, and It's like That with Jason Nevis. Those some badass shit y'all. Also, a couple of Akon's new songs of his new album are actually quite good :S

Love rap
Hate most rock
Kill me.

 

[AuntyEthel]

I find Rap annoying, but not as annoying as constant blast beats and cookiemonster vocals.

 

[Alvandera]

I personally hate country, hip-hop, pop, and rap music and all that shit on Disney. Frickin' Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana suck. xP

Fan of alt rock, rock, metal, screamo, techno, emo, and a lot more.

 

[slamm]

All the shitty Emo, shitty rap, and shitty pop that plauges the radio right now. The best stuff would be almost all rock from the 60s 70s 80s 90s and a select amopunt of hard rock/heavyt metal bands right now. But they don't get on the radio that much so I just use Pandora and a college radio near me that plays good stuff.(WSOU-Seton Hall's pirate radio).


I'm not a fan of Seton Hall, I just like thier college radio station....Just to clear that up.

 

[slamm]

I agree mostly with Alvandera, I forgot to Mention disney. (how could I forget) and Country too.

Although I don't listen to Techno much, I do like bands like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry which combine rock and metal elements. Also, it mainly the Emo on the radio I hate, the other stuff(like Senses Fail and stuff along the lines of that) is tolerable.

I'm a huge NIN fan, but I like there new stuff, like The Hand That Feeds.

Eh. I'm not gonna say I hate 95% of music, because I don't. I'm having trouble myself finding something new to listen to.

What I HAVE been listening to lately is Eisley, Ladytron, and Emilie Autumn. (Only a few songs of Emilie though.) I just like pretty female vocals. xD Also just piano intros n' crap from some techno songs I have.

I could but I don't have the equipment.

That is a very good song by them. Currently I have thier latest album, "The Slip" which is a very good album in my opinion. It sounds a lot less industrial than the stuff they have done in the past but it's still NIN to the core. Check it out if you want to.

Sorry, I don't know how to get it to show that I'm replying to someone else's post, ignore the last post I made.
