March 2, 200718 yr Author Any band that actually referred to themselves as 'Brit-pop' is automatically bad. :D odd.... 'britpop' is just another name for mod, new wave, punk, its just its latest incarnation.. uk boys with guitars playing blues based pop... that has been the backbone of the whole music industry ever since the beatles .... so whats your fav tracks of this your most hated genre?.. (thats the theme of the thread,..not..'i hate........')
March 3, 200718 yr The American country rock music of the early 70’s, although I liked a few of the songs namely America with A horse with no name, The Allman Brothers and Jessica, Neil Young and Heart of gold, Eagles and One of those nights
March 3, 200718 yr America with A horse with no name I like that song, it's got a seriously sinister undercurrent running through it lyrically... You can imagine nutters like David Koresh, Jim Jones or Charlie Manson having this on their i-Pods...
March 3, 200718 yr I like that song, it's got a seriously sinister undercurrent running through it lyrically... You can imagine nutters like David Koresh, Jim Jones or Charlie Manson having this on their i-Pods... I see where your coming from, I love this record, here are the lyrics On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la... After two days in the desert sun My skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la... After nine days I let the horse run free 'Cause the desert had turned to sea There were plants and birds and rocks and things there was sand and hills and rings The ocean is a desert with it's life underground And a perfect disguise above Under the cities lies a heart made of ground But the humans will give no love You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La, la... It got to the top 3 in Uk and No.1 in USA
March 3, 200718 yr Indie, Heavy Rock, Metal, Pure Country, and generally anything that lacks anything that has something melodic about it, the more underground techno and hardcore rap.
March 4, 200718 yr Author Indie, Heavy Rock, Metal, Pure Country, and generally anything that lacks anything that has something melodic about it, the more underground techno and hardcore rap. erm.. indie does have melody....
March 4, 200718 yr Indie, Heavy Rock, Metal, Pure Country, and generally anything that lacks anything that has something melodic about it, the more underground techno and hardcore rap. You've obviously not heard very much Indie, Metal or Rock if you dont think many bands in those genres use melody in their music... As for Rap and Techno (underground or otherwise), well, what that's mainly about the rhythm, the beat, the vibration and always has been, with actual melody taking a very distant second place...
March 4, 200718 yr When i mentioned melody i mentioned it for rap and techno. I know they're about the beat, which is why I dislike them. Although if these genres have a beat & melody, hence more commercial, I usually like it a lot. As for the guitar genres, I just dislike them a lot, not my thing at all. Obviously a few exceptions are made in some cases.
March 4, 200718 yr Author As for the guitar genres, I just dislike them a lot, not my thing at all. Obviously a few exceptions are made in some cases. then what are your fav tracks from your most hated genre?.. that was what was asked m8 :)
March 4, 200718 yr I really don't like Urban/RnB but that's hardly retro is it! I guess if we're talking retro then it has to be country that I really intensely dislike. Except for Jolene - now that is a class tune. And Johnny Cash. Oh I also dislike easy listening, you know Perry Como, Matt Monro, that kind of rubbish. Except I really like Born Free (but that's probably due to Vic Reeves doing it)
March 4, 200718 yr then what are your fav tracks from your most hated genre?.. that was what was asked m8 :) i like a few Garbage, Skunk Anansie and Matchbox 20 songs. Most other groups are normally 1 good song max.
March 5, 200718 yr Country and Western.. The absolute worst type of cheesy, horrendous Americana rubbish, Kenny Rogers, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, UGH!!!! Just terrible really.. An awful watering down and corruption of the original Bluegrass and other American Folk Musics of the deep South.... However, I do like a bit of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson or Hank Williams every now and then, somehow they manage to transcend the awfulness that is prevalent in the genre... thats why we try to use the term Americana and talk about uncle tupelo over and over again :lol:
March 5, 200718 yr I like that song, it's got a seriously sinister undercurrent running through it lyrically... You can imagine nutters like David Koresh, Jim Jones or Charlie Manson having this on their i-Pods... thats a great song and so is ventura highway. Dd2Ch6WBeQU i was thinking of doing a tread that emcompassed America in one form or another. Obv I'm not allowed by 'the lawe' to talk about them any further :lol: http://www.starclustermusic.de/artists/america/america/cover/dfam0601.jpg
March 7, 200718 yr Retro-wise - I cannot abide 80s stadium rock! And one retro track I truly depise beyond compare is Bryan Adams 'Summer of 69'! And I also HATE Queen with passion! I know some will be upset by that second comment..
March 29, 200718 yr jazz funk was cool... :P name some good examples from the jazz-funk cannon and see if you can change my mind??
March 29, 200718 yr R'n'B, urban, gangsta rap and Country and western by a mile. Emo, too.... sooooo passe. Toe-curling stuff. Big hair rock... soft rock.... jungle... drum'n'bass.... modern-day tance...... Europop..... Edited March 29, 200718 yr by russt68
March 30, 200718 yr R'n'B, urban, gangsta rap and Country and western by a mile. Emo, too.... sooooo passe. Toe-curling stuff. Big hair rock... soft rock.... jungle... drum'n'bass.... modern-day tance...... Europop..... I'd agree with pretty much all of that.... But not all Big Hair Rock was bad... Dave Lee Roth was good fun, as is some Van Halen stuff, Hanoi Rocks were pretty awesome... Heart were pretty okay too... But in general, it sucked... :lol: For every Hanoi Rocks or Dave Lee Roth you unfortunately had about a hundred Chers or Bon Jovis.... Drum 'n' Bass...? I thought you liked Roni Size.... :unsure: It's far from being a total loss - Goldie (when he's not being wanky...), LTJ Bukem, Alec Empire's early solo stuff....
