every band that i don’t like
This is the answer.
AC/DC and CCR come to mind. Doesn’t bother me though. It’s the audio equivalent to eating a bag of Doritos. The flavor doesn’t change, but every now and then there’s one with a little more powder on it.
and just like Doritos, every once in a while you gorge on a bunch of doritos until you get totally sick of them and swear you don’t like them any more. A month goes by and you start snacking on them again because you hopelessly like them.
I am both amazed and disappointed it’s taken this long for me to learn how to sing AC/DC. It was Marge all along.
Hard disagree about CCR.
Nickelback
they went disco for a little bit
“look at this photograph”
Can’t even be bothered to name them, they suck so fucking hard
You fuck. Now I have this fucking shit song stuck in my head!
Sorry about my rage …
Forgive me
AC/DC for sure. Every song has the same vibe. It’s a good vibe, but once you’ve heard one song, you’ve heard them all.
…is it going to be controversial if I also say The Beatles? Maybe not ALL of their music, but most.
I appreciate Angus Young’s self-awareness.
“I’m sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we’ve put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same.”
haha strong "no one beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row” vibes
Pre 1964 Beatles I will give you. After, say, Revolver? I don’t see how you could compare Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds to Tomorrow Never Knows to Martha My Dear to Back in the USSR to Sun King, etc etc etc
Often you can tell it’s the same band, but these are meaningfully different sonic experiences.
It is very controversial to say that of the Beatles. Once they stopped doing live shows they reinvented themselves.
Say what you will about AC/DC, nobody else can convey the idea of sweaty testicles in musical form as effectively as they do.
AC/DC music is nothing more than 4 chords and a beat.
And you know, sometimes that’s all you need.
Whole lotta Rosie is on my husband’s workout playlist and it is a jam. So good.
Live off the If You Want Blood album is the best version! Hype
The Beatles did evolve over time. Their early stuff all sounds the same and their late stuff all sounds the same, but there’s a big difference between their boy band phase and their stoner phase.
I guess I’m just associating them with their “boy band” phase then. Most of my Beatles listening was probably from the collection of hits on the 1 album back in the late 90s or early 2000s, whenever that came out.
AC/DC especially has the same drum rythm for all songs.
I feel like there was at least some variety during the Bon Scott era but yeah everything from Back in Black on is the same.
The Beatles is like 4 bands wearing a trenchcoat, so I’m gonna have to disagree with you there. I wouldn’t even say any individual album is samey from at least sgt peppers on
Surprised no one’s mentioned U2
First that came to mind. Can’t stand them. Just boring.
Cocomelon.
Imagine Dragons. I don’t know a lot of their songs but when I hear them I can guess it’s them with pretty good accuracy.
I’d say Thunder sounds somewhat different from their other music, and I don’t enjoy it at all.
Wesley Willis
The Ramones.
If it’s been a while, I’ll listen to 5 tracks and be like “Yes, The Ramones!!!”
Then after a couple of tracks more I suddenly really need to put on something else.
God The Ramones are such a weak band. I’ve never understood people’s fanaticism.
I saw them live twice and they were great shows.
I’m not debating that they bring the hype, people love them and yes they have their influential place in the history of rock.
I’m just saying in this era, I am lost as to why anybody would seek that music out. It had its place and it had its time, but that was like 50+ years ago.
I don’t need to hear these boots are made for walkin’, and I don’t need to hear I wanna be sedated. They’re anthems from an ancient time.
Well, firstly, ‘These Boots are Made for Walkin’’ is a great song that sounds gorgeous compared to most of its contemporaries.
Secondly, there are pretty much no other bands that sound like Ramones. If you want that kind of fast and fun sound once in a while, there’s no other option. Most other punk sounds like punk, but no punk other than Ramones sounds like them.
The only ones sounding similar to Ramones are those making deliberate effort to emulate their sound: Ramonetures, ‘Gabber Gabber Hey!’, Helen Love.
You’re missing my point.
These are dried up, shallow pieces of music that had their place. Once you’ve heard one of their 2 minutes songs, you’ve heard their entire discography!
There’s actually great music you could spend your time on, which is what I do. There’s 20 new albums every day, there’s amazing jazz, amazing punk, amazing growth in various forms of music. In a way, listening to primitive music like Ramones is depriving oneself of what’s out there now, which makes it sound like children’s jingles in comparison.
I realize I may be coming off harsh, but that is my personal perspective, I think it’s weak and one dimensional. Then again, that statement could be applied to many popular acts.
Somehow I’m sure just from your comments that I wouldn’t consider most anything that you listen to ‘good’, and I’ve heard lots of musics in my life. And I certainly wouldn’t turn down good music just because it’s old or simpler than other music.
Krudler is coming at it like music is a zero sum game, which is silly. I love the Ramones. I also love more innovative, complex music, as well as plenty of vapid garbage. I’m happy jumping from Art Pepper to Guatafán. None of it is a waste of time if it’s what I’m in the mood for.
The Ramones were a fresh slap in the face back in the day, and without them punk & new wave wouldn’t be what they are. In the meantime, other artists have built on the Ramones’ foundation. Similarly, Jimi Hendrix revolutionised how people used the electeic guitar as an instrument, but other artists ran with it to the point that his stuff is archaic (I can’t listen to Hendrix for the same reason K dismissed the Ramones, but to each their own).
I guess what I’m saying is that even if you personally don’t like an influential band, you have to acknowledge that they might be exactly what resonates with someone else. That’s why we have so much music in the world. To the original topic though, Ramones music does all sound the same. Why mess with perfection?
That’s how I feel about Michael Jackson. Except he wasn’t a band. He was just 1 person who whispered like a shy little girl & flailed around onstage like a noodle and he kept grabbing his crotch and nobody asked him to grab his crotch. I’ve never understood people’s fanaticism.
All your personal issues with the man are yours and not in dispute. I think a big difference here is that MJ was a musical virtuoso, not just a singer and showman.
Was he virtuoso though? I feel like his best work was with Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton and without them he was just meh.
Yes, look into the man. He composed a shitload of his music.
I personally don’t even like the man’s musical output. That said, I can recognize genius. The man was nothing short of a musical genius with very few I could even list next to him, perhaps with the exceptions of Stevie, Herbie, Prince, Eno, and other brilliant minds. The guy was out of his tree, but on a level of musicality most people can’t even grasp.
Only two and one co-written on Off the Wall and three and one co-written on Thriller (although they are bangers). He did write most of Bad but anything outside of that is imo sub-par. I’m not denying he had a lot of talent but I think he’s far from a virtuoso.
Lol right. Give me a god damned break! You can’t be serious, you’re trolling, or genuinley know nothing of music.
Linkin Park.
Look, I like them, so I’m not exactly knocking them, but a long time ago I was working an overnight inventory shift, and my manager at the time put on a Linkin Park album, and I predict how every song was going to go because they all seemed like the same song.
Really surprised no one’s mentioned Everclear, but that might just be because no one thinks about Everclear that much
sabaton. I still love it though
Volbeat Disturbed
Most EDM in 2010’s. That’s the obvious answer.
