I've seen Flaming Lips more than once. They were shit. Not quirky. Not funny. Not 'wacky'. Just plain shit. Not even 'Glice got annoyed by them, they must be good'. Just plain old shit like a million other bands.

ZEROpumpkins 10.06.2007 01:10 AM

Huh so apparently they also suck at the thing that makes 'em famous, eh?

Glice 10.06.2007 07:03 AM

Zaireeka was passable, the early stuff was shit. Mercury Rev I can tolerate, but more the latter stuff.

Actually, I think it's generally not true that the earlier stuff was better. Bleach is a really, really shit album. The Melvins sound like a shit Metallica on their earlier albums. The Melvins are a shit live band.

I could go on but I'm a little confused and hungover.

I don't really care for Madonna that much.

pbradley 10.11.2007 01:18 AM

I don't really pay much attention to Madonna's music but I do like that she's still around reinventing herself. There's something comforting to me to know that she is still recording.

the flaming lips bore the shit out of me.

automatic bzooty 06.15.2009 07:49 PM

boredom bump!

pet sounds is ... just not good. at all
ditto astral weeks.

the guitar solo in the velvets' "pale blue eyes" is the best ever.

xtc are the most annoying and obnoxious sounding band i can think of at the moment. most moments, actually.

the idea of le tigre is much, much better than the music of le tigre.

lou reed's "take no prisoners" live album is fucking awesome.

rocket to russia > ramones.

Music is not important, which is what makes it enjoyable, revolutionary, and essentially human.

Sonic Youth 37 06.15.2009 08:03 PM

I don't like the Beatles (Some of John Lennon's solo stuff is good) or the Rolling Stones.
I hate The Clash's Sandinista! album completely.
I'm not a David Bowie fan
I'm not a Nirvana fan and never had a Nirvana phase like so many others did during the growing up during the 90s.
I like the Mars Volta (well, mostly the first EP and first 2 albums, I'll admit the new one is all kinds of suck) although I'll be the first to admit Omar comes off as being a pretentious asshat.
The only JaMC album that matters is Psychocandy.
I enjoy the VU with Nico more than without.
The New York Dolls drive me insane.
Goth rock gets an undeserved bad rap due to to all the overweight people in bondage gear. Anything with more than 2 straps, buckles, chains, or D-rings should only come in sizes Medium and below.
I like Death From Above 1979.
I like Chiodos.
I really don't like Tupac.

gualbert 06.15.2009 08:11 PM

I hate Nick Cave, I don't like the Beatles, the Beach Boys neither..the list is very long.

Trasher02 06.15.2009 08:38 PM

Here's my unpopular musical opinion: I love the beach boys.

i lovelovelove the clash's debut and london calling, i like combat rock... but i hate give 'em enough rope and can't even be arsed with sandinista.

Sonic Youth 37 06.15.2009 09:01 PM

Give Em Enough Rope is amazing! The opening drums to "Tommy Gun" are one of my favorite Clash moments unlike the children covering "Career Opportunities", that's just a travesty.

automatic bzooty 06.15.2009 09:04 PM

well, i do adore the intro to "safe european home" ... that perfect drum crack, the guitars ... mm.

batreleaser 06.15.2009 09:22 PM

judas priest>iron maiden

david bowie's prodution on "raw power" isnt that bad

lo fidedlity always beats hi fidelity

Sonic Youth 37 06.15.2009 09:22 PM

A few more:
"I Melt With You" by Modern English is the best love song ever.
"He Stopped Loving Her Today" by George Jones is the saddest song ever.
Except for what he did with Cream, Eric Clapton can fuck off.
Machina II is one of the best Smashing Pumpkins albums
I also don't like Black Sabbath.

Satan 06.15.2009 09:22 PM

david bowie's production on raw power is perfect

the "remastered" version of it blows...it's just wrong


eric clapton can definitely fuck off. cream rocked though.
