Songs you like... from genres you don't.

[SomethingUnrelated]

Simple thread. Post an example of a song, piece of music, whatever, that you like, that's classed as part of a genre you generally and overall don't like.

For example, I'm not a fan of rap, but here's a song (with what I wish was the official video) which that one scene in the film 'Office Space' made me like:

Now it's your turn.

 

[OutforEC]

One Love/People Get Ready by Bob Marley & The Wailers

 

[OliverTwist72]

Oh god I'm ashamed to admit this but

Spoiler: La Roux - Bulletproof

Edit: Also I've never seen the video till now but it's a little scary.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I normally hate Dance music. It's horrible. It all sounds the same. I do like the super ponybeat songs though. I'm not a big fan of rap either. I love Eminem, but no one else really, except for a few songs like Roc boys, power by kanye and changes by tupac.

 

[leedwashere]

I absolutely can't stand rap. I've been known to plug my ears and hum annoyingly if it ever comes on in my vicinity...

But then there's this song which, inexplicably, I find rather awesome.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Strange Eyes by Suns of Man, 12 o' Clock & Blue Rasberry and Samurai Showdown by The RZA.

I don't like rap at all, but these tracks make an exception.

 

[Totenkopf]

Just one thing...

EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY

Please excuse the Capn' Capslock here, but it's simply to funny to be written normally...
(And I'm quite addicted to it)

[deathbydeath]

pretty much every song by Jon Lajoie, and I hate pretty much all popular genres of music.

 

[FallenTraveler]

Mostly Katy perry stuff, I truly enjoy most of the music on her first album. I am NOT a fan of pop. Heavy metal for me. Or hardcore or whatever you want to call it...

AlsoMike Shinoda's Fort Minor, and Eminems earlier work... I'm gonna go listen to the new btbam ep now...

Doesn't count bro.
EVERYONE has a soft spot for Lose Yourself.

Spoiler

I'm just asking to be proven wrong, aren't I?

OT: I'm gonna say Theme for Scanty and Kneesocks - or, in fact, the whole goddamn album.
I hate that artificial 'plastic' music that basically consists of a beat with no point - but goddamn...I love this album.

EDIT: What the fuck happened to the youtube vid? Goddamn embedding problems....

Now it's your turn.

Sure, I've got some R'n'B stuff I enjoy too, some metal too.

Spoiler: NSFW, at the least a lot of risque jokes

Because what other diss song has the words 'PS: We've got dicks like Jesus'?


Because what other song has lead to the spoof 'mama said Spock you out'?


Because what other song is worthy of 'Hip Hop Hooray!'?


Because what other song advocates eye-gouging as an analgesic?

There's probably more but that'll do for now. I'll leave y'all with a couple of really nice RHCP songs that don't get enough playtime and a really nice Ben Harper:

Haha! That was so goddamn funny. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Broady Brio]

Spoiler: Ah... Crap.

Spoiler: Or if THAT was unacceptable...

I mean... ICE CREAM people!

Crikey that brings me back to my teens. I had an intense crush on Vanessa Carlton for bloody ages.

There you go works fine you just embedded it wrong if you want to know how to do it quote me and see how I did it.

OT: I'm not really into straight up electronic but this song has my favorite singer in it and he just makes it good.

[Metal Brother]

Spoiler: Warning: Contains Techno

 

[Zantos]

I don't usually like, whatever this is, but Cascada is always the exception

 

[LikeDustInTheWind]

I don't really like techno or dubstep but "Sail" by Awolnation is freaking amazing to me. (Sorry can't get a video I'm at school)

 

[Mr.Incognitus]

OT: I'm not really into straight up electronic but this song has my favorite singer in it and he just makes it good.

Spoiler

Is there anything that man can't improve?

OT: I'm gonna have to go with the popular choice here of Eminem, his earlier and funnier songs. I'll choose Jon Lajoie too

 

[ScoopMeister]

Fuck You by Cee Lo Green
This song is awesome!
