Artists You Don't Like Except For One Song

Well, I can't think of any songs that weren't better with the addition of Mellotron. "Strawberry Fields", "2,000 Light Years From Home", "Phenomenal Cat", "Care Of Cell 44", "Space Oddity", "Kashmir", "Watcher Of The Skies", "Court Of The Crimson King", "Ladytron", "Baron Saturday:", all of Big Star Third...no prose required!

 

Nah. Sorry it's all much the same to me. Mellotrons are just early attempts at synthesizers.

 

Madonna - Ray of Light

 

Sign me up as someone who dislikes the mellotron, too. Major turn-off.

 

THere isn't a better example than Randy Described Eternity by Built to Spill. It is the First song on the first album of theirs i played. My brother and I looked at each other like we had just stumbled upon rock gods until sheer panic set in as we continued to skip song after song trying to reach that peak again. Have at it, but just know that it is a one off'er



Reminds me of Bohemian Rhapsody. How can a band have a moment of genius like this and not even ever come close to matching it. quite frustrating.



Nick lowe who i want to like but i can't find any songs i really like than this one. No reason
Nick Lowe - "No Reason" (Official Audio)

The Fall - Cruisers creek
The Fall - Cruisers Creek


Michael Penn- No Myth
Salt n Pepa - Push it
verve- bittersweet sympthony
mia- paper planes
comfortably numb- pink floyd
chris Issak - wicked game
xx - infinity
The Smiths- How soon is now
Morrissey - will never marry
spencer davis group- gimme some lovin
tom tom club- genius of love
when in rome- the promise

 

I can asure you that there is far more to Chris Isaak than Wicked Game
Although I'm not a big fan of Pink Floyd there is also far more to them than Comfortably Numb

 

I am not saying there isn't . IM just not a fan of these artists. And i put xx infinity as an ode to chris Isaak

 

The Rolling Stones--Out of Time

Can't stand them otherwise.

 

Arctic Monkeys-I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor

 

Savage Garden - To The Moon & Back

 

The Adventures - Broken Land

 

Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me

 

The Beatles - except Come Together

 

I actually just brought this up in a post in a different thread.

I hate Blur but think the song "Coffee & TV" is excellent.

 

I don't like Michael Bolton, but for some reason I like "Missing You Now." Go figure.
I don't dislike Barry Manilow but I'm far from a fan. Then I heard the B side to "Weekend in New England" called "Say The Words." A really good song. It's on the This One's For You album.

 

Pink Floyd - Learning To Fly
Madonna - Open Your Heart
Heart - Hijinx
Meat Loaf - Hot Summer Night
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

 

Toto-"Hold The Line"
Pilot-"Magic"

 

before tonight I would have said Crazy Horses by the Osmonds
but I have since heard their Zepp 'Immigrant Song' inspired song
'Hold Her Tight' it kicks ass, love the bass so Jonesy

 

Big Shot
Billy Joel

 

I disagree with SO many of these choices but here's a few "controversial" picks of songs I like from bands I don't:

The Mama's and the Papa's - Creeque Alley
ELP - Karn Evil 9 (1st Impression Part 2)​

Steely Dan - Dirty Work
Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill

Kiss - Rock and Roll All Nite​

Metallica - Enter Sandman

Jane's Addiction - Mountain Song
4 Non Blondes - What's Up​

Counting Crowes - Mr. Jones
Dave Matthews Band - What Would You Say

Weezer - Say It Ain't So
The Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You​

Oasis - Wonderwall
Blur - Song 2
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
Supergrass - Alright

Some sacred cows mixed in with a little 90's nonsense and pretty much anything Brit-Pop.

It'd probably be a better thread if people who like said bands listed alternative songs to the solitary songs others like but that's kinda being done when the same bands get mentioned with multiple songs....

 

Grateful Dead - "Touch of Grey"

And agree with the upthread choice of Kiss - "I Was Made for Loving You."

 

I Got a Line On You - SPIRIT

 

I agree, and I never grow tired of Elliot Randall's guitar in that song.

 

John Mellencamp - "Ain't Even Done with the Night"

 

Eric Clapton - Layla
