I only found out a few years ago that Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies was commonly regarded as one of the worst songs of the 90s, but it reminds me of middle school and summers at the pool. Same with Sex And Candy by Marcy Playground.
Once you get past their boring singles, Nickelback isn’t all that bad.
🖼️👀
I don’t think there’s that many people who dislike Nickelback. It just became trendy to dislike them, so people jumped on the bandwagon, regardless of whether they actually cared either way.
My parents took us to one of their concerts in like 2008. They were surprisingly good live.
I tried because so many of my friends dig them. I just can’t get past the songs that seem like they’re written with a rhyming dictionary and they’re full of teeny bopper cliches. I love the guitar tone and some of the riffs but I just can’t get past those dumbass lyrics.
Nickelback
Shame on you
Whenever I play shoegaze music it tends to upset my family.
Slowdive is one of the greatest bands ever
Need a new family who can appreciate a perfectly honed use of a delay pedal.
Coldplay had some good ones
Coldplay is among my favorite bands, absolutely agree there
A lot of people criticize the direction they’ve taken recently, and while I don’t keep up with their newest releases, Viva la Vida is still one of my favorite songs. And other tracks like Paradise, Sky Full of Stars, etc. will always be fun for me to listen to as well
Who doesn’t like Coldplay??
Zappa.
Those who are into his music are really into it, and those who aren’t generally really dislike it.
I’d argue with you about people disliking his music, but I’m moving to Montana soon. Gonna be a dental floss tycoon.
I’m not sure how many bands even sit in the widely known and also disliked by most Venn diagram. The only example I can even think of is Phish, which I can’t stand but I know a guy who lives his whole life around their touring schedule.
Phish is a weird one. When I listen to a whole record it kind of all sounds like one long song. An experimental variation on the theme. But live… Holy s***. I’ll go see him anytime they’re close.
Mindless Self Indulgence: Yeah, the lead singer was obviously a piece of shit, but their music was still catchy.
Never heard of them.
They were popularish maybe 20-25 years ago, but the singer was a creep. Presumably still is if he’s alive.
I think a lot of people got burnt out on sex and candy, but Marcy playground’s first two albums are legitimately fantastic. I didn’t even get into them until like 2018
Modern day Smashing Pumpkins. The community is very split these days.
It doesn’t help that Billy Corgan is a MAGA Republican.
Worked with Billy about a year ago on his wrestling program.
I heard him tell a small audience of people that he was, “Rock n’ Roll.”
The context was in regards to covid protocols, something like “I’m Rock n’ Roll and all, but we’ve gotta do what the facility says…”
Not the worst in context I suppose, but I just couldn’t get past, “I’m Rock n’ Roll”, falling out of his mouth.
He’s such a douche.
I didn’t even realize they were still around. Is the new music more hard rock, or more of some of the soft shit they put out?
The majority of it is softer. There’s been a lot more synthesizer keyboard type stuff since 2018 or so. Jimmy and James are also back in the band.
I’ll check it out today. Thanks!
I listen to a lot of stuff that would be widely disliked if it were widely heard. Extremely dissonant, abstract, and harsh avant-garde metal is for very few people. It’s hard to describe it without sounding like a dopey elitist type, but I just like caustic, hostile, and often formless stuff.
The Strokes - Comedown Machine is often called their worst album but, id argue it’s one of their best
My thread prediction was spot on. We all secretly listen to Nickelback.
One of the few albums from my youth I can listen to is Anti-Nowhere League - We are the League
It was a kind of joke album mocking punk music and some of their bigotry and phobias, but of course people took it at face value and thought it was serious.
It’s an absolute work of offensive genius and beautifully produced
