13264975, Songs you don't like -- by a band that you do like
Posted by handle, Fri Jun-08-18 11:37 AM
I've noticed there are certain songs that people like/love that I don't - but by bands i generally do love.

Example:
Girl U Want - Devo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4-2onb62y8

Why? This shit sounds like a My Sharona knock-off that Rick Rubin "reduced."

I can exclude songs I've just have heard too much - like I don't love 'Whip It' by Devo anymore - but I don't dislike it as a song.

Do you have any examples?

13265059, are we talking about crappy songs by good artists? or nah,
Posted by Shogun, Fri Jun-08-18 12:53 PM
because there's a BUNCH of shitty songs by people I like, but they're universally recognized as shitty songs.


But if we're talking about "good" songs that I just don't happen to like, that's a different post.

13265276, The Seed - The Roots
Posted by spenzalii, Sun Jun-10-18 10:22 AM
This one more than anything put me off Phrenology for a while (Break You Off didn't sit well for me either, but The Seed was my main source of hate), especially coming after TFA. Hearing it live a few times and seeing the crowd go nuts I appreciate it a bit more, and I have since come around to the album being one of their better efforts, but to this day I refuse to play The Seed myself
