'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

The Sums (You guys smoke? You do now) have also appreciated with time.

 

[D_House]

U2. Bono's voice and lyrics are just too histrionic to my ears now.

Nirvana and Alice in Chains. Too much doom and gloom. As an angsty teenager they hit the spot. Now not so much,

Yea the number band is out. Green day 75 is so done.

Sorry GB, but.....

 

[NutterButter]

Phish. Saw a ton of shows in the '90s but have no desire to listen anymore.

On the flip side, as I approach my late 40s I'm listening to a lot more metal - including death metal.

I know what you mean. I used to drive across the country to see Phish. Now they are coming here to Miami for the NYE run and the tix are cheap on stubhub and I'm not sure whether I have the energy to go.

Liking Phish and having the energy to endure a 3 hour jam session are two entirely different things.

They could be talking about the Offspring or Alvin & the Chipmunks and it wouldn't be more absurd to me.

You're really not alone, and I can understand both sides. I didn't like them until about 2001 or 2002 and I pretty much had all their old recordings (eta* as they came out, that is. I had each release as it came out, including their really old ones). I'm really just trying not to muck up the thread and respect people's opinions of their own favorite bands. For the most part, they were treated exactly as other parts of the Wiki article notes: with scorn and derision from those who actually did like pop-punk and power pop and those genres. But then, to be fair, the younger generation of pop consumers really like them and they did get better as a band, IMO.

 

[McGarnicle]

I only know their horrible late 90's singles.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Debbie Gibson

Sorry GB, but.....

Yeah, you tell him...it's Deborah Gibson

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Ditto.

I'm surprised this turned into a Blink 182 love fest.

 

[BRONG]

There is a video spoof of Blink out there by some Aussie dude that is hysterical. Might be a surfer. But I'm too lazy to go and find it. HTH.

 

[Scoresman]

Yeah, Pearl Jam.

 

[Foosball God]

The Who falls into this bucket for me.

Conversely, I didn't like The Rolling Stones when I was young but now really like them a lot.

WTF?

My son was 8 when I handed down my old iPhone to him. He was just getting into music, went through my whole itunes collection and fell in love with the first sum 41 album. Some objectionable lyrics, so had to have that talk, but he listened to it non stop. A year later, took him to his first concert for his bday. Yup. Sum 41 on their 10th anniversary tour of "Does this look infected?"

He still loves em.

By way of him, I hear it a bunch, and like them more than when I first heard them.

 

[El Floppo]

Keep looking at this thread an thinking that there's nothing from my past that I find annoying- just overplayed.

But then I remembered all the ambient stuff I listened toin the 90s....

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Yeah, not sure I'll be listening to a lot of Enigma these days.

 

[Ned]

brass monkey, that funky monkey!

Debbie Gibson

Sorry GB, but.....

Yeah, you tell him...it's Deborah Gibson

My first college girlfriend was obsessed with her. We couldn't "do it" unless Deborah was playing. Now every time I hear her, I stand at attention, old habits die hard.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Yeah, Pearl Jam.

Their early stuff will always be top notch

Everything after 2000 is a steaming pile of doggie doo.

 

[sublimeone]

Green Day is terrible

 

[pantherclub]

Green Day is terrible

beyond terrible

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Yeah, Pearl Jam.

Everything after Vitalogy is a steaming pile of doggie doo.

 

[cstu]

Well if YOU guys say they suck...

 

[Todem]

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?

Rush

 

[Todem]

Pink Floyd...

This is so wrong.

 

[Todem]

Led Zepplin

My god people....seriously? My god.

 

[Todem]

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.

One of the 10 greatest songs every recorded.

Ever.

 

[Todem]

Yeah, Pearl Jam.

Everything after 2000 is a steaming pile of doggie doo.

Yield was the last record I liked.

In order for me:

1. Ten

2. No Code

3. Vs.

4. Yield

5. Vitalogy

Everything else....meh to blech.

Why is it so crazy? Music means many different things to many different people.

I love that song with a passion. It has so much meaning to me personally. It is one of my 10 favorite songs ever.

I remember this one getting lots of play back in my high school days.

NSFW (just to be sure).

[Jayrod]

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.

But Pearl Jam & Led Zepplin? Seriously? Never get tired of them. I still sing my heart out to Alive EVERY time in the car. I've heard When The Levee Breaks hundreds of times and still crank it up when it plays.

I don't get you old farts. Put yourselves out to pasture already.

Ofcourse. I also am free to have my opinion.

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.

 

[Tom Servo]

Debbie Gibson

Conversely, I played her music while doing it solo.

Liking Phish and having the energy drugs to endure a 3 hour jam session are two entirely different things.

And yeah, Dave Matthews. Dave's singing style and Carter Beauford's drumming both irritate the hell out of me now.

HFS. Around 30 years ago I was front stage for Stryper, can't remember if CC Deville was still with the band at the time. Isaiah 53:5

I went from Stryper to Blackie(I had a Manowar kick around that time too). Loved the self titled album.

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.
