Music/Bands you liked when you were younger --- now find annoying (1 Viewer)

[zamboni]

Van Halen

To each his own, but I don't see how these guys - at least the early stuff - could be annoying now. Overplayed, sure.

 

[Tom Servo]

Sting.

I loved the Police and they hold up really well still for me. Sting doesn't. In fact, the longer his career has dragged on, the worse it looks.

His first 2 albums are o.k., Soul Cages is still a great album. After that he became strictly EZ listening. MUZAK

I'm sure this just comes with age, but I'm finding more and more music that is annoying that I used to like when I was younger. Take Beastie Boys, for example. I can barely stand listening to them now when they come on my random rotation or on sirius. It doesn't matter how nostalgic one of their songs may be, they drive me nuts. Depeche Mode is another one.

In general I still like metal/rock, but I'm finding more and more that it can be exhausting to listen to. I need to slow down....

What are some of yours?

Who can I talk to at FBG to get an unlike button added for posts?

First one was decent. Second one had some great tunes, Soul Cages is a gorgeous recording with some really brilliant songs. I love Ten Summoners...after that...all down hill and fast.

I can see where he's coming from. I still like a lot of their stuff and musically they're amazing but I'm finding that as the years go by, Roth's vocals and spoken parts irritate the crap out of me. That and those awful covers they were prone to doing.

I never really cared for them in the first place. Never thought they were anything special.

 

[grateful zed]

moody blues

 

[NutterButter]

Yeah, Pearl Jam.

Their early stuff will always be top notch

Everything after Vitalogy is a steaming pile of doggie doo.

you're crazy if you don't think yield is a good album. Problem is that their first 3 albums were great. I don't know how you ever stop liking a band that has 3 great albums which is the whole premise of this thread.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I can't think of a single song off of Yield

...or was that Where Oh Where Could My Babbbyyy Beeeee song on there?

 

[Zow]

Lots of 90s punk/ska like NOFX, Pennywise, Less Than Jake, Goldfinger

Funny I like these bands way more now than I did back then.

"Last Kiss" was also covered by the American rock band Pearl Jam for the 1999 charity album No Boundaries: A Benefit for the Kosovar Refugees.[6] It would also appear on the group's 2003 rarities album Lost Dogs.

 

[skol asylum]

And No Code and Lost Dogs are awesome.

Foreigner and Styx come to mind

Its an embarrassing kind of "like" now - but would never put a cd of them on. These two groups are no longer in a separate category as Journey (being horrifically offensive to me back then).

All their music kind of gives me the willies but some songs do bring back good memories only because the songs were unavoidable at the time - we didn't pick our own background to our lives at all times ...

Wasn't a big fan of No Code, but there's no denying the goodness of Yield

i think that was the last tour i caught of his actually. it was an uneven album but i respected the fact that he was working through some ideas. he took a turn not long after Soul Cages that put him in the same class of performer as Rod Stewart and Phil Collins.

I've come back to Paradise Theater recently. It seemed like an album that everyone in my HS liked.

Dan is not kidding. You clearly do not know Dan.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

I've read every band mentioned and I can't find a single one I agree with.

Probably the closest for me was a Christian band named Petra. They were pretty cheesy, but I was like 12-13 when I really liked them.

Stryper just finished touring in South America.

I actually still listen to Stryper every once in a while. Nostalgia. To Hell With The Devil was a good album.

 

[Gr00vus]

The Doors.

 

[Tom Servo]

The Doors.

Yeah, they seem cliched at this point.

Oh no. You really, really don't understand.

Dan insisted on drafting Vernon Davis 3rd Rd and was first to pick a ####### keeker in like the 7th or something. These bad picks ...they were like zombies. They just kept coming, they wouldn't stop. It ...was ...awful.

And the weekly line-up decisions. OMG - it was like watching puppies being clubbed!!! Over and over and over ...its, its, I dunno, still kind of in shock.

Nobody has mentioned Vanilla Ice yet. Too embarrassed?

Nobody has mentioned Vanilla Ice yet. Too embarrassed?

He was a high school friend of mine. They all went to the MC Hammer/Vanilla Ice show in HTFD, CT. They came back with Vanilla Ice shirts with "Ice Ice Baby" graffiti-sprayed on fake brick walls. They had always had something to say about my musical tastes, so I made fun of them. We were seventeen, sixteen.

"Oh yeah," he said, "Yeah?" in his Hammer pants "You listen to the Ramones. How [lame] is that?"

I told him to call me in twenty-five years. We're approaching that.

Swear to God on a Bible that's a true story from '90/'91.

I have a similar story from working with Snow from "Informer" fame. Difference being he made a lot more money...oh wait, they both made a ton more money than we will ever see.

Yeah, Snow came to our college my freshman year, I think. The entire concert committee and its resources were, um, re-directed the next year. No, it was the Hotstepper guy. Ini Kamoze (?). Ballroom reggae. Liberal arts college. Not big.

Either way, more money than I'll ever see, admittedly.

Snow is getting some local (Toronto) airplay again as a "remember him?" and he's doing the circuit. Not sure what he does now but he keeps referencing his big thing was not being able to travel to the US because of jail time. He and Vanilla Ice are the Original Wiggas in my book.

Sting is a pretty good choice.

which just got me thinking about some of the cross-overish jazz that was coming out back then when he went solo... which got me thinking about Pat Metheny. Went through a big Metheny phase for a couple of years... pretty brutal to my ears right now. but I reserve the right to fall back into like as my taste craps out.
