Led Zepplin

Unpossible.

Yeah, strikes me as odd, too. There are certain songs that I don't like ("D'yer Maker") or are tired of ("Whole Lotta Love" for one) and make me immediately change the station or scroll past. But overall, Zep will forever be a band to savor.

I just heard Ten Years Gone earlier this morning. That and coffee got my day going.

That tune I'll never get tired of hearing - "No Quarter" is probably another.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I would agree on CCR and would add Kiss.

For nostalgia's sake, there are a few old standards I like to hear (Love Gun, Detroit Rock City, Rock Bottom), but for the most part the gimmick is long gone.

zam! What's happening, my friend?

Been mainly Shark Pooling it these days, but that will end soon with the season almost done.

Think I'm getting too old for the FFA unless we have some more of these types of threads.

Yeah, I try to stay out of most except the various sports threads here along with a few music/TV threads and GMTAN.

What did you think of the Marsh book? It can be a hard read for those with a classic rock lean.

 

[jon_mx]

Steve Miller Band

I want to reach out and grab ya.

 

[jon_mx]

I would say U2 but I still like most of their stuff before Aqualung Baby. Anything after that can smooch my grundle.

I saw Jane's Addiction 3 times between 1988-1990. I can't change the station quick enough when they come on the radio now.

was that their Jethro Tull collaborative album? that's an acquired taste right there

Locomotive Breath is my favorite U2 song.

 

[jon_mx]

Blue Oyster Cult.

Godzilla still rocks. Was never a big fan of their other hits.

 

[jon_mx]

Metallica

Iron Maiden

Black Sabbath

Wilson Phillips

Slayer

One of these is not like the other.

 

[zamboni]

It's a great read. He's definitely a blowhard and I don't always agree with him, but he's got some good insight.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Steve Miller Band

THAT song, which even most Miller fans hate, doesn't bother me. Probably because I have attached it to a specific memory. That, "Fly Like An Eagle", and "Living In The USA" are the only songs of his that don't make me want to bomb an orphanage.

"Wild Mountain Honey" makes me want to bomb ALL of the orphanages.

 

[rockaction]

Heard "Been Caught Stealin'" the other day and spent a good amount of time trying to rationalize their success.

That album, which is generally the most played, was never very good. Major disappointment when it came out. "Three Days" was the only song I liked, and I came to find out that it was the only song they were all in the studio for, as they'd hated each other by that time and had sort of mailed in the whole process.

I still like -- if not love -- the Triple X recording and Nothing's Shocking.

 

[Zow]

Guns n roses

Aerosmith

I don't listen to any post Hells Bells AC/DC

I'm sure there's more

I think a lot of the problem is overplay. Those 2 songs have not been "Stairwayed" to hell like some have. Physical Graffiti has a few semi-hidden jems that still stand up.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Blue Oyster Cult.

Godzilla still rocks. Was never a big fan of their other hits.

I also like "cities on flame" but it's almost the same song.

 

[seahawk 17]

Aerosmith

Everclear

Soundgarden

Can't believe all the anti-Tenites in this thread.

For me, it depends on the source. If it's on the radio, yea, I don't like the Zep hits they play and change the station. I might even fast forward it on a playlist.

But if I'm spending an evening listening to vinyl, almost any LedZep album is welcome in the rotation.

 

[Brony]

Can't believe that I ever liked Jimi, pink Floyd, Yes, Bob Seger, Aerosmith, or Kansas. (Well, liked enough to buy their greatest hits cassette)

Yes!

Kansas

Two more good choices.

Their first, self-titled album was the teats at the time.

 

[Quint]

Ministry

 

[Limp Ditka]

The thought that I, at one time, owned Journey's Escape and Greatest Hits makes me wish I could scour my soul with bleach

 

[Ilov80s]

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

 

[massraider]

Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Randomly acquired an EP, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, or something like that, as a kid. Loved a bunch of skate punks that liked funk.

They got really terrible.

 

[Ned]

Limp Bizkit First album is still decent but I can't stand everything else. Used to love them.

I find Nirvana just OK now as opposed to the GOAT back when I listened to them in 8th grade.

Limp Bizkit is another good one (that I can barely stomach any more).

I still think Nirvana is the GOAT.

 

[zamboni]

Krokus is another one from my metal days.

 

[cstu]

'90s pop punk with bad leads. Cannot stand. Stop playing crappy leads. Stop.

Actually like Blink 182 more than I did in the 90's.

Well Dan, we can now add music along with fake football to the list of things at which you are ridiculously, really super awful.

Don't try to tell me Dyer Maker doesn't want to make you shoot your radio

Plant has confirmed that the title "D'yer Mak'er" does, in fact, come from a rusty bit of Cockney humor, which usually goes something like this:

Cockney Man 1: My wife is going on holiday.

Cockney Man 2: D'yer make 'er? ["Jamaica," but pronounced quickly so that it sounds just like "Did you make her?"]

Cockney Man 1: No, she's going on her own accord.

The sly allusion to Jamaica made sense for the song: "D'yer Mak'er" is Zeppelin's reggae move.

I do, too. I hated them back them. I think it was once they dropped the leads, actually, which are corny and ham-handed. Leads like this -- right at the beginning of the song and at about 2:45 in are what I'm talking about, if you can stand it. "Like A Parasite" by Screeching Weasel.

I was never a big fan in the beginning, but now, Robert Plant's singing sounds so bad, like his balls are caught in a vice in every song. :X

 

[skol asylum]

Plant's voice rules.

Geddy Lee on the other hand....terrible.

Yup...same here.

Steve Miller Band - WTF was I smoking in my younger days

There's a lot of great songs that have been overplayed to the point where I think I'll survive somehow if I never hear them again. But they're still great songs.

Steve Miller's 70s stuff ain't those.

"Rockin Me", "Jet Airliner", "Take The Money And Run", "Jungle Love" et al are just bad. Oh, they SOUND good - Big Music in the 70s would spend obscene amounts of money on production (& coke), but the songs themselves are sloppy and bad. And, worse, they're boring.

I think I knew this as a teenager, but bought the damned records anyway because that's just what you did. You had to at least have Fly Like An Eagle in your collection if you were a rock fan, just like you had to have Fragile and ZoSo. Then I did it all over again in the 80s with CDs.

Remember the opening credits of the Mary Tyler Moore show where she's in the supermarket? She grabs a steak, looks at it with an expression like "wtf am I even doing and why do I even care?". Then she tosses it in the cart in disgust anyway. That was me buying SMB's Greatest Hits on CD.

Yeah, agree on all accounts - but still love Anthology and earlier ...rather than "Bingo Jet had a light on ..."

Also, I liked BTO pretty hard for a few minutes junior year of HS

 

[ummich10]

I grew up in the early 80s, loved everything popular on MTV. Can't stand any of it now, it hasn't aged well.

 

[Ilov80s]

'90s pop punk with bad leads. Cannot stand. Stop playing crappy leads. Stop.

Actually like Blink 182 more than I did in the 90's.

Loved them and I think it holds up still. The high school kids I teach really like them too. They wear their shirts along with Hendrix or Nirvana. That's a band from the late 90s/early aughts that will live on in future generations.

Funny that Blink-182 still resonates with the kids. (And they do, I've also noticed.) Back then, they were considered total poseurs and all that until about '99 or so. Liking Blink-182 meant you were another crappy suburb pop-punker with a penchant for liking terrible bands. But that would be for another thread. I really think Travis Barker fundamentally transformed that band.

Saw this on Wikipedia "There's a huge demographic of college kids thinking hard about music who consider Blink-182 one of the most important bands of all time, in about a decade, the band's best songs will achieve the respectable ubiquity of classic-rock radio. Blink-182 is anything but harmless, and they absolutely deserve their forthcoming revisionism." -LA Weekly

Creed.

I loved My Own Prison when it came out.

i loved that whole first album

 

[MAC_32]

Pearl Jam.

Unpossible

I find the pretentiousness unbearable now.

Pretentiousness? Huh? These seem like about the nicest bunch of down to earth guys you could find. I have no idea what you mean. I mean who else goes out and does 35 song long shows for the fans? Can you name even one?

they aren't the only ones, but they're few and far between. Until a few years ago I thought Pearl Jam was going to fade away, but now i think they've gotten better with age. Not their latest albums, but their live shows. Had heard about them and finally experienced one this year. Best show I've ever seen.

Would be here but no one has listened to DMB in 10 years.
