Title: Songs you like from bands you don't? Post by: Joe the Destroyer on August 29, 2009, 02:41:10 AM Just because I've dismissed a band as being full of asshats, or sounding like a rusty metal ball being raked against a cheese grater, or being worth about as much to me as a used napkin, doesn't mean I don't occasionally find one song I actually like by them. Okay, maybe I'm being a little harsh. There are some groups I also respect musically, but just don't like. Usually then, I can find one song I actually like.

Title: Re: Songs you like from bands you don't? Post by: lester1/2jr on August 29, 2009, 09:29:47 AM I like Billy Joels Allentown. It's the only song where he doesn't try to compensate for his soft rockedness by shouting

Post by: zombie no.one on August 29, 2009, 07:33:29 PM that's interesting you should pick 'angie', I don't actually like that tune but the one good song from a band I hate is 'Street Fighting Man' by the Stones. it's a really good song. everything else I've heard by them is more or less drivel, yet they have this reputation as one of the 'great' bands of our time. I would go as far as to say they are rubbish. not even 0.01% as good as the beatles.
Also, I was scratching my head to think of ONE decent song by The Doors so I could post it in here, but honestly there are none. Title: Re: Songs you like from bands you don't? Post by: Mr. DS on August 29, 2009, 07:39:20 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kN1CPwFVUA

That's the tune from Godzilla Final Wars when Godzilla Japan fights Zilla USA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p23aZCXV3sA Title: Re: Songs you like from bands you don't?

Also, I was scratching my head to think of ONE decent song by The Doors so I could post it in here, but honestly there are none. Actually, that was "Mother's Little Helper," not "Angie." As much as I dislike the Stones, I actually think they are 1,000 times better than The Beatles, and I can't think of a single Beatles song that I like! :bouncegiggle: Oh well, we each have our own individual tastes. I hate The Doors also. Your comment about them made me laugh, so I'm giving you Karma. :thumbup: There is one song by The Doors that I do like a little bit though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awi14wDTxNw Title: Re: Songs you like from bands you don't? Post by: the ghoul on August 30, 2009, 12:28:08 PM The Who should have called it quits after this one. Their only good song:

I like riders on the storm but in general they were little more than a very dull classic rock band Title: Re: Songs you like from bands you don't?

Post by: zombie no.one on August 31, 2009, 07:54:19 AM that's interesting you should pick 'angie' Actually, that was "Mother's Little Helper," not "Angie." I bought The Best Of Marmalade, 2 CDs and only found one track I liked. (and Jimi Hendrix called it his favourite song of 1967) I8pUuIEoRcc Title: Re: Songs you like from bands you don't?

Title: Re: Songs you like from bands you don't? Post by: Rev. Powell on August 31, 2009, 11:09:03 AM I was going to choose U2 as well. "The Wanderer" (because Johnny Cash does the vocals).
Funny thing about U2, I hate almost all their songs when Bono and crew perform them, but there are several cover versions of their tunes that I like quite a lot.

Post by: ghouck on August 31, 2009, 04:55:24 PM Also, I was scratching my head to think of ONE decent song by The Doors so I could post it in here, but honestly there are none. "The Wasp" is the first song I thought of when I read the title of this thread. I can't stand the doors, but like that song. But, I'm in the same boat as you in regards to 'Chicago', can't think of anything from them I like. Title: Re: Songs you like from bands you don't? Post by: Mr. DS on August 31, 2009, 07:29:36 PM I'm glad U2 came up, I love Bullet The Blue Sky but I have a rather "meh" reaction to most of their catalog.

Title: Re: Songs you like from bands you don't? Post by: voltron on September 02, 2009, 08:30:53 PM Well, I like old school Def Leppard (ie High N' Dry), but the Hysteria album was complete horses**t. However, the title track is a little guilty pleasure of mine.

I don't like much of eminems stuff. I love hip hop but most of his stuff is sort of emo rap or just silly. this song kicked my ass though Title: Re: Songs you like from bands you don't? Post by: zombie no.one on September 03, 2009, 05:56:31 PM yeah can't stand Eminem at all, except for his very first album The Infinite, which is great. hard to even believe it's the same guy. (before he invented 'slim shady' and went all cheesy)
