Songs from Genres you HATE, but love regardless

[King of the Sandbox]

I normally only dislike Gospel (all songs too similar), Country (repetative subject matter and style), and rap (Just not that much of a fan.)

But I do enjoy

What are some of your examples of this? Certainly I can't be the only Escapist who has at least reached out to one or two songs of a genre they don't normally listen to, can I?

I generally dislike dance, rap, electronic music, but I do like these:

Spoiler: Clicky here!

Well tbh I do enjoys anything that Juno Reactor does. Most of their songs are atleast above average. Same goes for Run DMC.

I generally dislike Lady Ga Ga songs but I like Bad Romance.

 

[_Janny_]

Love this song to bits. Even though I'm not much for soul or whatever it's called.

Spoiler: clicky

 

[Iron Criterion]

I generally dislike Lady Ga Ga songs but I like Bad Romance.

I like to pretend I'm too metal for pop but I like a lot of her work. Don't judge me.

 

[SonicKoala]

I generally dislike Lady Ga Ga songs but I like Bad Romance.

Amen to that. Can't stand most of her stuff, but damn - that's a freaking catchy tune.

 

[Georgie_Leech]

I have yet to hear any rap "song" that I have enjoyed. That said, points to that one rap that used the Tetris theme.

 

[King of the Sandbox]

Yeah, I got a bit of the Gaga bug myself. Mostly for Paparazzi.

But shhhhhh. It's a secret.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I can't stand rap, but the Ghostdog soundtrack was pretty sweet.

 

[Simalacrum]

Generally speaking I hate rap music, but I don't mind the occasional OLD Eminem music...

Great choice there; Sammy Kershaw's great.

For myself? There aren't many genres I hate per se, maybe "adult contemporary"? Which would let me say anything by Five for Fighting, so that makes this a whole lot easier than trying to think of a current-generation pop song that isn't headache-inducing.

Same here. I used to like nearly every song on his first album... but after that, the novelty kinda wore off.

I first heard the song while I was attracted to a girl in my class who lived in a trailer park. I guess it just made itself a little hole in my heart to hide away in.

And I gotta say, not being a fan of country, even I think he seems to have the twang down to pro level.

It seems we have all gotten a love for that song.

 

[Wadders]

Not usually a fan of cheesy club dance music, but this song is so goddamn catchy. Yes I am aware it's a pretty gay tune, but I just don't give a shit


To be honest though, I can't think of a genre of music that I dislike outright. Every genre has its terrible music, and every genre has music that redeems it

Well it does grow on you faster than a determined tumour.

I don't normally listen to Folk music, but I absolutely love 'The Cave' by Mumford & Sons. It starts off so peaceful, and then it has so much energy at the end... It's great.

I do not like Lady Gaga or her genre ... however ...

As for a song I genuinely enjoy without that song being tampered with:

[sokka14]

I have to agree with a couple of people here, I love Paparazzi even though I wish I could PUNCH LADY GAGA IN THE FACE! But that metal version was absolutely pointless. It adds nothing, sticking in a generic tuneless metal riff as a vague attempt to fool metal lovers into thinking she's good. Pathetic.

Empire State Of Mind is amazing without Jay-Zed.

I don't generally like classical music, but this piece is just beautiful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6yuR8efotI
