Yeah I tried hard to get in to the tea party but rest of album was pretty meh. Still listening to heaps of 90s grungy rock at the moment.
Been saying that for 30 years now ...
Hard habit to shake when you look at some of the shit thats been served up since!
Indeed. As we’re all in our 40s ( or some fluffybunnies on here are even older ) the chances of finding a cool new band are extremely low.
Not at all ( and I am certainly one of the fluffybunnies you refer to).
I do listen to older music and artists for sure but have also discovered radio shows that not only deal to my tastes and known artists but constantly introduce me to new artists influenced by the stuff I like.
Totally Wired Radio (especially Eddie Piller) and BBC6 (Craig Charles) are great at this. They also introduce me to old music that I hadn’t heard.
As for the OP and question in the thread title I really can’t think of any band that I hate that have a song I like. -

Bunch of b*stards.

This is why I hate the music threads, you all become bloody broken records. I knew U2 would get slated pretty quickly yet again.
And Lightening Crashes was a brilliant song. -

That's the spirit, sneer in their faces and then break their hearts with a dad joke that sneers in the face of their dad jokes!

I gave U2's Achtung Baby a listen recently out of curiosity (Joshua Tree is the only album I like by them). God damn the production is some terrible try-hard shit. Utterly amateurish and miserable. The Fly is the only half decent song on the album.
The Edge discovered a wah wah pedal for that one, in other words yet another effect to try and cover up what an utterly ordinary guitarist he is.
I must confess to genuinely liking the title track for zooropa and two hearts beat as one is a good foot stomper so U2 aren’t a complete lost cause for me ( which I guess is the whole point of this thread )
There are definitely a gem or few on Zooropa. I only grew to appreciate them years later
Stay Faraway So Close from Zooropa is one of my favourite songs ever by any band. U2 albums usually grow on you. Hated Achtung Baby after the first couple of listens, now I rate in in my top 5.

Love that song. Very underrated. I like Lemon, even like Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car

@majorrage Creed will 100% remind me of one thing. The first time this girl who would go on to be my girlfriend took me back to her place, that album is what she put on.
ah uni, cracking days.

Forget those Irish rocker-haters.
If you haven't stagedived to Sunday Bloody Sunday covered by a half-gone Irish-Irish cover band with an old guitar and a goat-skinned drum you haven't lived! -

Nickleback seem to be popular because almost bogan chicks love them.
I think lightening crashes was a good song at one time but it got done to death by every single chick in every flat and party during uni.
I’ll often only like one song by a music act, not saying they’re all rubbish acts, just I don’t like their stuff. For example, Cults - you know what I mean (from Russian Doll soundtrack), loved that song, got the album and I just didn’t like any of their stuff. I like one Bruno Mars song and all the others I’ve heard I’ve actively disliked. I like one Radiohead song, and it’s the one the band themselves hate .

I just assumed the radios would play their good stuff - up to 1988 most of the time. I know a few from Achtung Baby and the Sweetest Thing but I wouldn’t know any of their other stuff.

There's quite a few songs on the trip albums which would qualify here. This band ma have a few other good ones, but I've always struggled to get into theme beyond this The River.
I'd never heard of them... but figured "I'm an open minded guy, I'll give it a go".
Listened to nearly an hour of them playing a live gig... that was a waste of time.- There were zero good songs
- The lead singer is a twat.
- I saw a few comments comparing this guy to Jim Morrison. Fuck. Off. He's not worthy to act as a ball-sack-support structure for Jim Morrison... and I'm saying that as somebody who thinks Jim Morrison is over-rated. He's got a passing resemblance to JimMo... but he's also got a passing resemblance to Jon Snow, and his musical chops seem better aligned to the Bastard Prince than the Lizard King.
- The lead singer is a twat. God, he's a twat. A right prize fluffybunny.
This thread has caused me to check out so much of the stuff mentioned - corrupting my youtube suggestions/auto-play. Nickelback and Creed have both already appeared in the "My Mix" playlist...
I'm going to need to walk away from this particular gmail account, and create myself a new one - complete with new identity - just to make sure I escape my ill-advised generosity in giving these bands a "fair go". -
