Songs you love, made by bands you dislike.

5ive - Keep on Movin'

My musical tastes have developed far beyond boy bands, though I was a Backstreet Boys fan when I was ten, and even then I never liked 5ive. Sometimes I'll listen to a few old classics 90s boyband pop with friends but this song I listen to and just enjoy. It's such a cheesy feel good song. Whenever I'm feeling sorry for myself or miserable or something bad has happened I put this song on and my mood just goes in a complete 180.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Can't Stop

I've always thought Anthony Kiedis was a useless front man. His voice doesn't work with anything. As iconic as RHCP are and have been I've never cared for them. But I like this track, don't quite know why, it's not like it makes any more sense than any other RHCP song.

Robbie Williams - Angels

Another 90s pop thing. Robbie Williams always annoyed me but I've never been able to deny that this is a pop ballad classic.

Split Enz - Message to my Girl

Those who aren't New Zealanders or Aussies probably won't know this one. As a Kiwi I was raised to like Split Enz. Never did. Plain and simple, New Zealand pop and rock music just wasn't good then. But then Tim Finn surrendered the band's leadership to his brother Neil and Neil wrote this one which reflects more the sort of music he'd go on to write and perform with Crowded House. Neil kinda proved that he was the talented one, (though Tim did write 'Persuesion' which is pretty good,) which is probably why Neil got brought in to write the song for the first Hobbit film.

Weezer - Hash Pipe

Weezer's okay to listen to sometimes. I just wish after however many years they've been going they drop the whole faux garage band crap and actually try to extend their music. My Dad once compared them to Status Quo which is fairly accurate and while I don't think Weezer are that bad they are that boring. Hash Pipe seemed to break away from their usual shit and it is a pretty mean track.

All Saints - Pure Shores

Just a really well produced pop song.



That'll do.

God, Damn you Andre 3000! God, Damn You...>.<

Why did you have to rescue this song... without you it would've just been another god damned Rick Ross song... but than you have to come in with probably my favorite guest verse you've ever done... and just destroy this song...<.<

Spoiler: My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade

MCR comes off as whiny emo bullshit most of the time to me, but I just love this song.

MCR aren't emo but ok


Skrillex - First of the Year, Scatta

Taio Cruz - Troublemaker

D.R.U.G.S - If You Think This Song Is About You, It Probably Is

Abandon All Ships - Infamous, Good Old Friend

Hollywood Undead - Young, Undead, Been To Hell

Andria by La Dispute.

La Dispute just annoy me. They remind me too much of the 2-dimensional "hardcore" twats that seem to populate North Wales exclusively. You know the type, "straight edge" - draw Xs on their hands and wear short shorts with Vans slip ons without any socks.

Still a great song though, and I don't like anything else they've done.

woooooooooooah La Dispute are a great band.

How can you not like Such Small Hands??

 

[Scrubiii]

I normally don't see much distinction between dubstep and white noise, and the vast majority of Arkasia's work is no exception. At the same time, this is the third most played song in my iTunes library.

 

[winds-ov-chaos]

Well, i don't like Madonna, but this song is awesome.

I second this.

 

[babinro]

One of my favorite songs of all-time come from a band I didn't know existed.
After hearing this song I remember listening to their other music and disliking all of it.

I'd call this a one-hit-wonder but the band isn't known for this song. It's simply personal taste.

 

[snappydog]

As I think's been mentioned, the reason that particular One Direction song is palatable is because it was written by Ed Sheeran.
On that note, though, I kind of like a fair bit of his stuff, but I absolutely cannot stand The A Team, for one reason. 'Crumbling like pastries'?! NO. FREAKING NO. That is... urgh ,it makes me cringe every time I hear it, it's just one of the weakest lyrics I can think of.
On topic, as opposed to the exact opposite of it, I'm quite partial to Bloodbuzz Ohio and Exile Vilify by The National, but none of their other stuff has ever really grabbed me :/ maybe I've just not looked hard enough. I also like Just by Radiohead, but again none of their other songs have ever really stood out to me.

Knew someone would call me out on this.

It's not that I don't like their music itself, I just think that there are other bands who do the same thing but better.

It isn't just that, it's about fashion, too.

I hate Eminem,whenever I listen to him I feel like I could be listening to N.W.A or The Wu-Tang Clan (and various other better Hip-Hop artists) but Stan is actually a damn good track.
