Dude, you've crossed the line in the sand... :sqerr: :sqeek:


I'm guessing you have no beaches near you, or you would totally understand Jimmy and his lyrics, and laid back music. Yer welcome to come down to S. Florida when I get back there, and come for a boat ride -- You'll understand then... :)

Lady Gaga.

I have no clue why people listen to that stuff... :dontknow:

I mostly agree, but she has a song on the new Promo Only disc that sound nothing like the rest of her stuff that I have heard. I like the song, but I wouldn't even have known it was her if the sleeve didn't say it was.

I actually bought one of her albums, and it was painful to try and listen to. I generally listen to albums as if they were on LP -- one side, take a bathroom break, then the other side (make believe sides on CD or downloads).

I got nothing out of it, except a headache. I heard no interesting melodies, and no interesting lyrics.

Perhaps she puts on a good live show, but I certainly would not put on her album to listen to.

You must be talking about 'You and I' It almost has a country music sound to it. Personally, I think Gaga is extremely talented.

Funny you say that. I was reading the article I saw in Rolling Stone magazine a few weeks ago about Pink Floyd... I believe it was Gilmore who said ( paraphrasing here ) Who sits down and listens to a whole album these days? Nobody.

No Rick I get it, I just don't dig the sound. And Yes, no beaches near me just the beautiful Smoky Mountians. But then again I may take you up on the boat ride and let you do your damnest to convert me.:tribiggrin:

I listen to Sgt Peppers all the way through in the track order from the original album a few times a year when I really need to chill and relax...lay down on the sofa in the dark with my good Koss headphones on...

Sorry Rick, but no booze and no doobie required for me to enjoy this...

I don't "get" Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd...sorry...
 
Some repeats here...

Pearl Jam (I liked Ten, but after that....snooze)
Oasis (huge egos, not many good tunes)
U2 (not my thing)
Coldplay (snooze....)
Lil Wayne (sounds like my cat if I put his nuts in a vise)
Rihanna (I can belch a wider range than her vocals)
Kenny Chesney (all songs sound the same....he is no David Lee Murphy)
George Strait (like some of the songs he does, that others have written though)
Tom Petty (like the music, but not his voice)
Janis Joplin (grating voice, and if she had not died...would she be that important?)
Kurt Cobain (same reason as Janis.....we all see now who had the talent in Nirvana too)

My $.02


Not all these artists are "bad", but I guess I do not see the reason they are so popular....

I agree. But Those are all mainstream artists. Or very popular in their genre. With a band like Radiohead, I don't even know what genre to call them, and same with Arcade Fire.

As another one I am on the fence with, The Black Keys..... some days I like them, and some days I shake my head.
 
Off the top of my head....

Nicki Minaj
Little Wayne
Kanye West
Pearl Jam
Smashing Pumpkins
Nirvana

I guess it all comes down to personal likes and dislikes... :dontknow:
