Songs you like by bands you hate

    • I know we've had this before, but a song is troubling me...

      I absoultely HATE Red Hot Chili Peppers, yet a song has been on the radio at work and I have had to come to terms with the fact thta... I like it.

      It's a song called Dani California. The verses etc sound like boring RHCP forumla, but I have to admit to meself I sing a long to the chorus.

      ARGH!

      I still detest this band, I must state here, but anyone else have this type of thing? I'm not just talking bands you shouldn't like, or bands that are a bit crap - I mean bands that you detest thoughout your bones and blood and flesh and muscles.

    • new girls aloud single is MINT...i don't really hate them though...in fact most of their songs are pretty sterling.

    • Oasis - Acquiesce is a guilty pleasure.

    • Great song!

      I was having a conversation over the weekend bout Oasis, can't remember what I concluded apart from the fact Noel > Liam in almost every aspect.

    • Noel is a fucking twat and can't sing for shit. Makes Liam look good

    • Strangely I quite like that Katie Perry song I Kissed a Girl. Haven't heard any of her other stuff but suspect it may be shit. I think it appeals to my pervy nature and it helps that she's a bit of a looker.

    • Are you a manc lad at heart James?

      Our friend mark got started on by a partially deaf guy the other day who asked what his favourite Oasis song was and he replied "The one where they shut up"

    • I can't help quite liking some of the Liam songs, eg Rock n Roll star - makes me a twat I know, but hey! On the other hand the ones where Noel tries to sound all meaningful like Don't Look Back in Anger make me want to vomit through mine own eyes
    •  mikemike
    • I just prefer his voice, Liam's twang became so forced he started to sound like an elastic band at some points.

    • You're weird

    • i'm on mike's side...noel's voice is far less forced and much nicer to listen to.

      i'm also on j's side in that i think that they're both bell ends. liam has far less "opinions" as well.
    •  mikemike
    • Aquiesce or however its spelt shows how good Noel sounds, and Sunday Morning Call too, better lyricist, remember Liam wrote "Little James" with such lines as-

      Play with your toys, even though they make noise.

      and

      Have you ever played with plasticine? Or even tied a trampoline?

    • Mike you gargle for a living, that's real singing, not Noel's braying Lennon's rancid exhumed Dad's vocals. He sounds like about 45 blokes singing a shit terrace chant. Makes me ill. Bollocks to it.
    •  mikemike
    • Haha, gargle for a living!?

      I like David Tibet's vocals though, so who am I to talk?
    •  noonenoone
    • I'm quite stumped on this topic, I either hate a band or love a band and theres little in between.
      I can think of a couple of bands that I'm very good friends with as individuals but strongly dislike their music...

      that is actually quite good. not listened to it for about ten years, mind.

      i'm a fan of very early ash, but i hate what they've become.

    • I was trying to think of a band i hate but a song i like on sunday morning when i couldn't sleep, i couldn't think of anyone i hate. possible contenders though were oasis 'live forever', james 'sit down', spineshank 'new disease' - i bought their album years back as i liked that song but the rest was shit, and on a similar vein American Head Charge 'Just So You Know'

      There's many bands i'm not fussed about but to say i actually hate a band but like a song is hard for me to say, most of the time i liked the song before i had an opinion on the band.

      I can probably do better with more thought!

    • i hate fuckin genesis and phil bastard collins but i love 'i know what youve got(in your wardrobe) which technically is gabriel..
      didnt know it was genesis for years then i felt duuurrty...
    •  J ParkerJ Parker
    • Hey don't diss Genesis until you've heard the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and Foxtrot (yeah also Gabriel but still posh prog)

      I agree with that but i'd rather not listen to either of them.
