I hate Van Halen.  Just hate all their songs, but JUMP has a particular dog whistle like effect on me.  I hear it and I get pissed.  It's the worst piece of 80s synthesized tripe!

I'm not crazy about the stuff with the keyboards, especially as compared to their earlier stuff, but what hard rock/heavy metal contemporary bands of theirs from the late 70s/early 80s do you like?

The tiktok version of "Walking on the Sand" -- the "oh no oh no oh no" part shifted about an octave up. Over and over again.

Manfred Mann's Blinded By The Light - So weary of that particular song as it has been played for over 35 years constantly.

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody-  I hate the the choir type of operatic verses in the song, plus if you listen to the lyrics it is about giving up on life and not wanting to live. Not even a Rock Song although it may be classified as one.

Fully agreed on the first one, fully disagreed on the second one. I picked up an appreciation for the latter because it was exactly the length of my commute from home to work about a decade ago - driveway to parking spot - give or take a few seconds. Usually I was pulling up the parking brake lever just as the final "nothing really matters..." was crooning out from Freddie Mercury.


Before I had high-speed internet, I timer recorded most of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me on audio tape because I had to start work about 20 minutes after it started on a Saturday.  I would listen to it on my late evening 10 mile commute the next night.  It's amazing that every time I listened to it, I would arrive home right before the third and usually deciding "Not My Job" question.

I'll give my least favorite song by my favorite band. The Beatles and the song is Wild Honey Pie. All it is is about a minute of Paul singing wild honey pie over and over. The song makes no sense.

I absolutely disdain the new trend of mixing country with rap. In fact, I dislike a lot of modern rap. It all just sounds the same.

My favorite genre is rock (doesn't really matter what kind it is). That being said though, I can't stand death metal where the singer is just screaming gibberish at a super low pitch. Living Sacrifice is a great example of that.

I couldn't agree more.

I also disdain a ton of Christmas songs; "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas", "Baby It's Cold Outside", and "Oh, Christmas Tree" come to mind. My favorite Christmas song, though, has to be "White Christmases in Houston" by Branded.

I'm guessing that you don't like Old Town Road.

That song isn't really supposed to make sense; The White Album was the peak of their experimentation, so while you have the classics like While My Guitar Gently Weeps, you also get the weird shit like Wild Honey Pie and Why Don't We Do It In the Road, and of course Revolution 9. It's been described as "four albums under one roof" given the four members increasingly growing into their own separate styles that would be one of the long list of reasons for their dissolution in 1969-1970, and giving credence to the "four albums" suggestion, it's the most diverse Beatles album genre-wise; you have blues, calypso, folk ballads, British music hall, hard rock, experimental soundscapes, lush orchestral passages, country rock, really no two songs on the album sound remotely alike.

The song I'm sick of right now is "My Hero, Zero" because of that Volkswagen commercial. Whoever would have thought that in 2016 I'd have a SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK song stuck in my head on a regular basis because of a car commercial!


I actually liked that one.

The White Album produced some of my favorite songs. Dear Prudence, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness Is A Warm Gun and of course you can't go wrong with Helter Skelter. I think I like Revolver the best though with Taxman, Doctor Robert and Tomorrow Never Knows and my all-time favorite Beatles song Got To Get You Into My Life. You could honestly name all their albums and I probably have 3 or 4 songs off each one I like. The White Album though was their 9th album and their only double album so that one has a lot on it. Even their last song they did together wasn't bad, I Me Mine written by George.

They weren't a great album band -- I thought their albums contained a lot of filler -- but they have a lot of good tunes. The exception to the album rule is "Jailbreak." Every song on that set was good.

Speaking of Christian music, Stryper wasn't all that bad of a hair band.

They were pretty bad. No, they weren't as bad as Trixter or Firehouse, but they were worse than Poison and Warrant.
Funny. Stryper is one of my favorite bands of all time. They're actually still pumping out a great album every year, unlike most bands from their era.

Luke Combs. He's a meme. A joke to modern country music, and that's saying something because most country music stinks already. Luke Combs is a new level of terrible.

I won't go that far, but I'm highly unlikely to change my opinion of any particular song just because someone tells me I would like it if I'd just listen to it one more time.
Don’t ask me how I know.  Just understand that I do.

hbelkins

Sometimes, music becomes an acquired taste. I could not stand Led Zeppelin when I was in high school. Ditto for Queen. (Yeah, I know, two of the most classic rock bands of the 70s.). I finally acquiesced to Zep when I was a senior in high school, and Queen a couple of years later.

Ditto for individual songs. I liked Dokken, but wasn't really a fan of their "Breaking the Chains" song until a band made up of friends of mine played it.

But I don't think I will ever come around to liking "The Crunge."

Now, where's that confounded bridge?
