View Full Version : Music, songs, etc., that you dislike (or hate)
I'll start.... Modern pop music: *BRAIN PAIN* :wizard: Or any kind of popular music throughout the ages, except for those musicians and composers who stood / stand out and were / are truly great.
I don't like those unoriginal bands, composers and writers and such either. Or those 50s and 60s songs that all sound the same, almost like exact copies of each other, with the exact same chord progressions and sound, etc.
A couple examples of good ones here to name for that time are Beatles (very original, good players, creative, musical, and had good producers, etc.) and the Jimi Hendrix Experience (plain good ****).
But for example NOT Rolling Stones because they were simple schmucks :)
I also dislike those typical "singers". People like Frank Sinatra, Elvis, and the likes who are more like performers / entertainers. Though I gotta admit Elvis was kinda cool and those songs had something cool about them.
If you are in a room with me and you turn on the TV and set it to MTV or any such garbage, I'd probably die very quickly of BRAIN PAIN or something, and during that process of dying I'd probably be bold enough to take you with me! :laugh4: <--- this is no exaggeration :P <--- and that was no sarcasm :beam:
But the kind of music that is REALLY bad is "Dutch music". Ooooo, I can't stand it. Always those Dutch singers who are like the average Joe or average-- eh... [insert female name]. Boring bad repetitive songs of LOW quality and usually SIMPLE and just-- just-- ARRRGH!!! :help:
There is much to name... maybe I'll come up with a few new ones later... *takes deep breath*
Country, most rap, most techno, pop.

Feel free to label me as a heretic (now this is something I should have written about!) but I don't care for the Beatles that much. To me, their music sounds simplistic, short, and similar. Add that to the fact that it annoys me whenever someone in the media starts frothing about how "groundbreaking" and "unequal" and "superlative" those guys were. I mean, really. They're nothing special.

I also hate rap, pop, and country (the new stuff; bluegrass is cool).
I detest Hip-Hop, Pop, Rap, Modern R&B, Emo, Modern Punk and most Modern "Rock". I'll probably think of some more.
Rap, hip-hop, and just about anything sung by Sheryl Crow -- the woman's voice literally makes me want to gag whenever I hear it. :thumbsdown:
I can stand listening to country, but only in small doses. (My dad overexposed me to the genre as a wee lad.)

Well, I'm not going to label you like that: I won't operate on such irrational responses in these conversations :|
If their music sounds simplistic to you, short, similar, etc., then that's a simple fact. And people talk of how groundbreaking they were, etc., you get annoyed thereby? Simple fact and a subjective reaction. Your claim that they are nothing special: subjective. And you are entitled to it all.
Now let us be objective. Truth of the matter is they were / are special as their music was much more complex than other "pop music" of the time. Inventive, original, creative, etc. Even now pop bands can't come up with their highly creative forms of music (and here I'm specially referring to their later music).
Many chord progressions for example nowadays are simple as usual, back then too, while they -- the Beatles -- were more experimental AND succesful throughout the whole world.
To musically experiment (being original, etc.) AND to actually make good music AND to be popular are things that usually don't mix. They require many factors to deal with, and most music-doing people cannot have their brains function in a way or ways that includes all necessary human qualities of music-doing people.
There are the simple normal musicians, bands, and composers who copy and imitate, are average, etc., and there are the ones who stand out.

I've become much more tolerant of music over the years, certainly of different genres. That said:
Hip Hop: 90% is pure crap, most of the other 10% is still derivative, like variations on a single song. Rappers have gotten worse with time too.
RnB, the new style: yuck, too mellow, too fake.
Pop: There's seems to be a high period now, maybe because Britney is out. Nothing I'd pay money for, but not as terrible as it sometimes is.
Goth Rock/Emo: occasionally decent, mostly just whiney
Heavy Metal: meh, technical prowness and cliché's, not much 'song' in there usually
Improvisational Jazz: practice at home, play some music when other people can hear you
BeBop: you can play fast, now play somethign good
Techno: is this even music ? No rythm changes, barely any melody
Trance: like techno, but worse.

What I have a problem with is how people ignore the continued evolution of rock. Most people continue to say that Sgt.

In my personal opinion, its successors, such as Tommy and Dark Side of the Moon leave it in the dust and don't make it sound that special anymore.
The Beatles do deserve credit for what they did. But they don't deserve to be called the Greatest Band of All Time simply for that. There are plenty of bands out there that sound better then them and greatly improved on their sound; why should they not be rewarded just because they didn't come first?

Rap haters! May the dinosaur smilie get you!
'Rap haters!' - At least you got us to acknowledge that it's theoretically a type of music.
I'm so out of touch with the wonderful world of 'music' (^and I'm not even going to acknowledge rap as a type of music^) that I don't even know the names of all the stuff I don't care for/ dislike/ hate. One might go so far as to say that I'm musically challenged. For instance:
BeBop: you can play fast, now play somethign good
The only Bebop I'm familiar with is the place on the Tiense where I have a few drinks occasionally with friends. ~D Incidentally, Albert Niland performed there last Monday, and I was moved to buy his cd on the spot. No clue what label to slap on him, though.
So basically, turn on the radio or tune in to MTV (or something similar), and there will be a huge chance of me disliking whatever they're playing.
Also,
however Dutch and German slagermusic should only be played during carnaval
I hold a special place of pure disgust in my heart for schlagers (my father likes Laura Lynn and Frans Bauer :embarassed: ) and I hate carnival with the burning intensity of a thousand desert suns. Instead of scantily clad ladies like they have in Brazil, we get a festival of distaste where I live, complete with the aforementioned bad bad music. Why yes I'm a grouch, why'd you ask?

Hate to say it, but almost every American band I have ever heard, sounded like cack when I had the choice of British bands.
Hate Emo and Screamo, Hardcore Metalcore, that pussy american heavy metal stuff, slasher music, jazz, rap and it's associates, some of the cack brit pop stuff like the A monkeys (ugh!).
I do like Oasis and Kasabian though:2thumbsup:
Maiden, Genesis Led Zep, the fab four, TooL, Vivaldi, Camel, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Evermore, MUSE, Elton.
I like alot of stuff.
Song I hate the most... hmm... the 200 olympic song, "absalutley everybody, everybody everybody, absalutley everybody! in the whole wide world! Everybody dreams and everybody breathes, absalutley everybody" Uhg, oh dear god i rememeber it! Ah it will be in my head as I sleep.

Hmmm... that they put them to shame? It sounds like subjective opinion.
The evolution of rock? Hmmm... the Beatles were everywhere and it's not just "rock". I don't know about those two things you bolded, though, so I will have to check that out sometime. But I see you speak with opinion again, therefore I must question even more if these supposed successors leave them in the dust.
They do deserve The Greatest Band of All Time title, because they were great in a time when it was very difficult to be great in what they did. For example in the later days people relied more and more on technology and still made ****. As if they "let music technology" do the music for them, instead of doing the music themselves. The Beatles achieved great music-doing and did so with inferior facilities compared to what there was later, and later there were people still able to make rubbish even if technology grew and better facilities appeared.

Add to my list: COUNTRY! But I do like the "funny kind of country" that actually sounds not so bad like when a couple of southern farmers with a mouth harp, singer, fast banjo, an empty liquor bottle -- that has a couple of XXs on it -- to blow on, and a little improvised choir, play some stuff :laugh4:

I wouldn't go that far. I'd say it's more like poetry reading with someone/-thing giving a beat, and if we try to evaluate rap as poetry reading, well, gah.

I "hate" Head Over Heels by the Go Gos.
I used to have to play that song, night after night, along with other dippy songs like "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."
I had four keyboards and a drum machine, but all were geared towards new wave, and none were weight-sensitive. I didn't have a good piano sound at the time. So it was embarrassing to me to have to use my Prophet-5 for that sound (though no one else seemed to notice or care).
When it came time to drop some songs after learning new ones, I wanted to drop "Head ...," but our chick singer refused, I believe just to spite me (she was the type that delighted in pissing other people off). I got so pissed (gah, yes, she succeeded) ... it was either her face or the wall. I couldn't bring myself to hit a woman (even though she acted more like a man than many men I know), so I put a hole through the wall instead. I carry a scar between the pointer and middle finger knuckles of my left hand to this day as a result of that momentary loss of reason.
Heh, but she got hers in the end, and did it all herself too. But that is another story.

Aaaanyway. It's unfortunate that I'm quite out of touch with my musical sensibilities right when there is an appropriate thread to launch my tirade on. Ah well, hope it will still be here when I need to complain about having to expose myself to more stuff from the gangsta crowd. They sound all the same to me. And all the popular pop from Disney & Co., which always sound like they try to emulate Avril Lavigne, over and over again -- even though, blasphemous as it is to some around here, I actually really liked her first album.
As long as I'm not exposed to long periods of it, I actually find country to be sort of okay. Not my type, but I won't recoil from it and mentally spitting like I would've done if it was from, say, some modern big name rapper with no real panache.
I was a self-admitted rap hater but, alas, it appears the flame has burned out. Thanks to that I remembered how a few of the rap songs did hit me quite well; I still have fond memories of when Where is the Love was still popular. :hippie:
So right now, because of the omnipresent...presence...of the name Pink Floyd around the Frontroom, I'm starting to check them out. Very curious indeed; even my untrained ears can hear where the great influences of modern music come from. I ought to find some time to properly listen to them. :yes:
Edit: Oh, and Bijo has a point: in every genre there's always the great stuff and the imitators. Though I do possess a special respect for Classical and Jazz, even if the latter has its fair share of godawful crap.

[offtopic]
We had an agent who managed us and booked our gigs. At one of our highest paying gigs at a club called Clancey's in Tempe, Arizona, the owner asked if we would play some "harder" tunes to compliment our edgy new wave (by "edgy" I mean we did tunes like Sex by Berlin, and Never Say Never by Romeo Void ("I might like you better if we slept together ..."). Arizonans like their music a bit harder (KK Downing and Rob Halford hung out at this particular club from time to time back then).
We (the band members) were willing, but she was not. He insisted. She refused. He called our agent and said we wouldn't be back if we didn't comply. Our agent said he'd speak with her about it. She got pissed, insulted the manager publicly from the stage, and wrote insulting comments on the band room wall with her lipstick on our last night that fateful week. Needless to say, the club dropped us. We, and especially our agent who made LOTS of money booking us and five other bands, were very upset about this.
Another band he managed was also having personnel problems, and their guitar player and singer were quite good. We had a two month gig in Anchorage, Alaska, coming up (Chilkoot Charlie's anyone?), which paid a lot. So, we played it off like everything was fine, went to Alaska, and partied our arses off. The troublesome singer and her kind of boyfriend guitar player were mad because the trip was supposed to be a "woodshacking" opportunity--a chance to write some more of our own tunes and practice up. We just partied and partied and partied ... it was rockin' fun.
When we got back, she called a meeting with our agent present. She said that the reason we were being called out on the carpet was because we just wasted two months of excellent woodshack time. It was a pleasure to smile and quietly say, "No, actually, the reason we are having this meeting is to let you and M*** know that you are fired, because of what happened in Phoenix, and the constant inharmony the two of you bring into the band." She was flabbergasted and furious, as was her cling-on M***.
We had given the other singer and guitar player a songlist and tapes before we left for Alaska. We were back on the road in our new incarnation as a rough and tumble rock band within two weeks. The two that were trouble never surfaced on our particular club circuit again.

'Rap haters!' - At least you got us to acknowledge that it's theoretically a type of music.
Rap is basically a single/double/triple beat and also has a text, which combines with the beat. It's classified into different cathegories...
Old school rap (Nas), Pure rap (Eminem - his old songs, and some of his new ones...) and others...Rap is basically about expressing hardships, not all this new ****. :thumbsdown:
Hip hop is basically a funky beat, with different texts. It's not actually a music, it's something like... I don't know, it's something weird, and it makes perfect dancing music. :laugh4: All these new guys are from the hip hop part, like the Black Eyed Peas or Nelly.

The only Bebop I'm familiar with is the place on the Tiense where I have a few drinks occasionally with friends. ~D
Also known as bebop, Bop was a radical new music that developed gradually in the early '40s and exploded in 1945. The main difference between bop and swing is that the soloists engaged in chordal (rather than melodic) improvisation, often discarding the melody altogether after the first chorus and using the chords as the basis for the solo. Ensembles tended to be unisons, most jazz groups were under seven pieces, and the soloist was free to get as adventurous as possible as long as the overall improvisation fit into the chord structure. Since the virtuoso musicians were getting away from using the melodies as the basis for their solos (leading some listeners to ask "Where's the melody?") and some of the tempos were very fast, bop divorced itself from popular music and a dancing audience, uplifting jazz to an art music but cutting deeply into its potential commercial success. Ironically the once-radical bebop style has become the foundation for all of the innovations that followed and now can be almost thought of as establishment music. Among its key innovators were altoist Charlie Parker, trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, pianist Bud Powell, drummer Max Roach, and pianist/composer Thelonious Monk. -- Scott Yanow
Essentially: a bunch of very fast solo's which barely contain melody or structure and are utterly uninteresting.
No rhythm changes, wha ?
It's common knowledge it's only good in mixes.
It's all basic 4/4. But you're right that some DJs can actually turn it into something halfway decent.
On Rap:Hip Hop:
I view it as a modern kind of 'folk' music (like country). The lyrics are almost always more important than the music, there's often a message and because of the simple song structure it's almost universally accessible.
On Rock:
I find most recent bands pretty uninteresting for some reason, maybe because I'm getting old, but the last great 'new' band were imho the White Stripes, I haven't had a 'wow, great new band' moment since them. I still don't get what's supposed to be so great about the Artic Monkeys for instance. And I find Coldplay highly overrated, though their songs do have a nice sing along feel which is often their saving grace, the music itself is often too repetitive (just a chord scheme repeated over and over) for my taste.
On Schlagers:
Shhh we've got the Americans convinced that we Europeans are refined and sophisticated, don't bring this up !

Well, yes, if you limit yourself to the larger rock acts that end up on MTV then it's going to get real boring real quickly. If you like White Stripes I would recommend giving The Black Keys a go for a start, definitely if they're live and in the neighbourhood.

I don't think I want to know what O-Zone is.
Can't stand rap, there are a few exceptions though, Outcast for example can actually be quite clever. Worst song ever: Woooooo we're going to ibiza. Every time I hear that I feel like nuking the place.

Good for you. Just your earlier post mentioning The White Stripes, Coldplay, and Arctic Monkeys implied that.
Well, I don't really have the time anymore to go digging through obscure bands to find the precious few gems, and I'm not in any rush the hear the 'next best thing' anymore, but I do try to broaden my horizons a bit. I mentioned those three mostly because they were hypes and everyone would know them.
The black keys and other white stripe like bands often make good songs, but they miss the impact the White Stripes had (I've stopped paying much attention to them too BTW, it's becoming too much of a gimmick).
Great album I do recommend: 'Here comes that weird Chill EP' by Mark Lanegan (Band), imho leagues above the album that followed it (Hit the City).

Emo, punk, grunting metal, and any bloody thing having to do with electronic music (trance, dance, hardcore, -- anything). In fact, "music" is too honorable a title for it. I like to think of it as a series of random sounds made to sound inviting.
Sinatra... typical? ~:eek:
(Insert noise of thundering thousand-ton train full of steel girders and screeming pigs slamming into a napalm factory.)
I do not, sir, share your opnion. Cough.
Forgive me if I brave your flurry of axe swings, but Frank Sinatra was a white man who (crappily) imitated (good) black music to make big money while the real, original black musicians starved in the gutter. Same goes for Elvis.
Note: "black" as in the music and the simple skin color; not the political side of things.
:laugh4: Ahhh, the joys of O-Zone. It seems that here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-zone are a couple of links about them. Sounds like a crappy pop group indeed... from what I read. Haven't even heard their music but I'm already convinced they're bad. The keywords; summer hits, eurodance, Eurovision festival: they say enough.
Btw

i forgot to mention, reggae (if thats how its spelled) is terrible, even if i was'nt on pot that stuff would put me to sleep... except for the song about tallying bananas, that one just makes me feel warm and fuzzy. "Day-O" isn't reggae though. :music:

Yeah, Celine Dion is horrible :P
How about 80s music? Ugh: synthesizers, bad dancing, bad performances, BAD MUSIC. Well, some songs are actually "good songs" in a way but it's 80s MUSIC! Raaaarrgh! It's always base, snare, base, snare, with cheap variations of it. Like in 4/4: base, snare, base, snare, base, snare, base snaresnaresnare! :P
But the synthesizers, ooooh the synthesizers... those horrible synthetic poppish 80s sounds. Now that's horror for you there, brother :no:
The time when companies sold synthesizers and made commercials to convince the ordinary Joe he could make music even if he couldn't. "With this synthesizer you'll be making music in no time! Get it now, for only $[fill in]." :skull:

Celine Dion is a twit, as are many/most musicians, but she's got serious pipes. I like listening to her sing.
"Near... far... wherever you are, I believe that the Org. will go on... oh... oh... on."
Celine Dion, terrible. What makes it even worse is that I need groceries, and supermarketmanagers apparently are her greatest fans.

Just saw your post.
Sinatra was the best ballad singer of all time. Nobody could tell a story in a song like him. He had the voice and the style to headline in front of any great band. Listen to Sinatra at The Sands recorded live with Count basie and his orchestra. It isn't crappy, it isn't imitation, it's style, showmanship, and honking good music. Sinatra didn't sell a billion albums and sell out a million shows over fifty-years because of a mistake in people's judgement, he was big because he was great.
There are lots of excellent musicians who "starve in the gutter", you can't blame those who succeed for it. If that's the case, then we have to shoot down Floyd, Zeppelin, the Beatles, and every other great band because some guy, somewhere, didn't make it rich.
Besides, true talent survives. That's why seventy-years later people still have pictures of Robert Johnson hanging in their house. Like me. ~:smoking:
GAH!! The radio station at my work is playing Sheryl Crow right now! Oh the pain, the pain..... :fainting:

Ballads, schmallads... my point is that Sinatra made something most (white? meh) people think of when someone utters the word "jazz," while, as far as innovation and true feeling for that amazing music, he was to jazz what something like Linkin Park is to rock: pop. And since I don't like pop, be it an imitation of hip-hop or be it something that was apparently made to pass for rock... ~;)

Sinatra can be put into many categories, he covered all the bases, jazz is only one of them. I don't buy that legions of "true" jazz men went undernourished in swill-filled gutters because of him, or that tens of millions of people were fooled by him and his music. People liked Sinatra, and still do, because he sounds good. If he had a bad voice and gave a lousy performance he would not have lasted fifty-years in the business.
If you don't like him, that's your business, but you can't put your impressions onto millions of other people and tell us all we got fooled.
Just to humour me, could you ask one of those betrenched and underfed jazzmen you speak of to lift his head from the recesses of the drain pipe and tell us all how Frank "done him wrong"?

As said in the last paragraph of my last post, this is, indeed, my opinion. Sinatra, to me, is nothing more than a musician with little originality who took most of his music -- especially the tunes behind the singing -- from other people. To then overhear people considering him some kind of jazz icon (this not referring to your post but to things I often hear surrounding the man) is not exactly the best thing for my humor -- and just plain factually wrong. That's how simple it is.

For me, that honor (?) goes to Enya at the end of Gladiator.

Do you wish me dead? :laugh4: That must be one of the WORST songs I ever heard. It sounds more like it fits some kind of musical or something. Even if that'd be the case, it'd still be a piece of crap.

Gah! I'd pay good money not to watch that.
It's at least as bad, and not even as tortuously entertaining as that heinous Finnish 80's music video in the Backroom video thread, "I want to love you tender".

Wow. Those were both just....wow. My brain is shrieking, "Why??! What did I do to make you expose me to this?? What the **** did I do to deserve this??!! AAAAAAIIIEEEEE!!"

This is pure torture. Suppose you're an FBI agent and must torture or "persuade" somebody to extract information.... you don't even need to get rough: just force them to watch this; anybody would succumb quickly beneath its terror. Even a non-natural entity -- a computer that isn't alive and has no conscience -- would quickly fall as this evil clip of terrible doom reigns over it.
