Do you like a song from a band that everyone hates? It seems like everyone hates Nickelback, but I like this song.
And, apparently U2 is on many Most Hated Lists too. I love old U2 – anything up to Achtung Baby. This song is brilliant.
Whatcha got tonight good people of Deadsplinter? Thanks for your support!
I don’t mind a couple of Nickelback songs.
Back in my yout’ if you liked ABBA you were labeled a h-word. Mostly can be attested to loathing of disco and ABBA, toxic masculinity and rural homophobia. They make good music even if one or two of them didn’t speak English.
Nobody doesn’t like ABBA.
The guys that hated them the loudest were usually closet ABBA fans.
Wrong.
One of my friends pointed out that Abba’s occasional lack of proficiency really shines in “The Wienerr Takes i-Tahll” “Knowing Me, Knowing You” is an excellent road trip song when the highway is clear ahead and you don’t think there are any Smokies around:
Does anyone else remember the rumor that somehow the government of Sweden had rights to ABBA songs, and they traded a portion to Norway in exchange for oil during the Iran hostage crisis? If it’s not true it should be because it’s an excellent example of Nordic friendly cooperation.
A lot of people hate Taylor Swift but I really liked the Folklore LP, especially this one.
Cardigan
Mostly I hate bands and songs other people love. If I never hear this Dire Straits tune again it will be too soon. It’s so terrible it makes me angry.
Money For Nothing
I’m right there with you re: “Money For Nothing.” From around the same time came this violent aural assault:
I liked the Stray Cats when they came out but some of it is pretty bad. Brian Setzer is a damn good rockabilly guitarist though.
Fair enough. I’m partly scarred because when this song came out it was played in clubs and I can still remember people trying to dance to it (shudders).
Here’s a palate-cleanser of sorts, then, off the same album: I first heard this song relatively late at night on the “adult alternative” station in my college town, during the semester when I came back to tie up all the loose ends and graduate. I could’ve sworn it was a current track, but it was already 15 years old by then.
(It also foreshadowed the agonizingly slow end of a long-distance relationship for me, but that’s another story.)
The Frogs are so bad they are good? I like to sneak this record on and see how long it takes for people to say “What the fuck are we listening to?”
and how about a Twofer?
I had to look up a list of most hated bands…was surprised to see Radiohead on it…were they not a one hit wonder?
nah…they had at least 3 hits including yours….and the shiney people and the freak song
uhh i just realized the freak song is in fact creep…but im sticking to at least 3
Is that true? I think Radiohead is great, even their newer stuff.
For people with any kind of taste they were.
You know who I hate?
KISS and the whole damn KISS Army thing.
Just nah. I do not want to party all night and into the day.
Gene Simmons is the king sleaze.
goddamnit…i was gonna go for nickelback…..ive actually seen them live you know
granted…i was chaperoning my 14 year old niece….but it was a solid show
and…i think hubris is the only reason everyone hates u2….i remember the heres your free album downloaded to everyones phones fiasco….and the backlash….bet they never saw that one coming….slayed for giving out freebies
but also..when saying…everyone hates…you gotta ask yourself…how come they are topping the charts?
is it really everyone?… me finks many people are lying
anyways….i have nothing fits the category……but i do have this
To this day – one of my sibs is still so enraged by the U2 download – when one of the songs comes on she yells “Fuck U2” – no matter where we are.
LOL, I like your sister
I hope this doesn’t get me thrown off Deadsplinter, but I’m only doing it because Lymond insisted, and I’m nothing if not a rules follower.
I would never listen to them on purpose because they suck, but somehow I still know all the lyrics to this one Limp Bizkit song.
i listened to them on purpose and genuinely like…..2 of their songs!
also sorry……having zoomies..
I SAID GOOD DAY SIR!
It was nice knowing you.
😛
New Interpol is mediocre.
Which is a shame because this is great.
I am hoping that the new stuff will grow on me. But I liked “Marauder” right away.
I still like a couple 311 songs. There. I said it.
311 – Flowing
311 – Down
Some Nickleback songs aren’t terrible.
Go stand over there with @luigi-vuoto and think about what you said.
As much as Nickelback sucks, including ALL of the songs posted here tonight, Chad Kroeger was actually smart (not in the way a right-wing poll decided Nickelback’s lyrics were more intelligent than Foo Fighters’ lyrics – because of course) for demanding the record deal that he did.
I’m late to this party but I’m ’bout to one up everyone who has contributed to this DUAN:
…and believe me, Toby, EVERY girl with whom you’ve shared time is BLIND.
So are you saying you like this song?
Liked* when I was a teen.
As that old sage Butt-Head once said, “I don’t like stuff that sucks.”
