Relationship of Command is a magnificent slab of work.
I think "dislike" threads should also encourage people to talk about who they like. Otherwise it's just a hatefest and it doesn't really go anywhere.
I was on /r/AskUK for a while, but had to unsubscribe because every popular thread came from a negative angle, and it gets real tiring.
U2. From the very first time I heard one of their songs. I am quite open to music, but I recall one day it was on the radio or something and I made a point of listening all the way to the end in order to hear the announcer list the name of the song.
I have heard other songs by them. Just can't stand them.
There's gotta be a Talking Heads song I would like, but I haven't found it yet. The radio really ruined them for me.
The Offspring. They always seemed to latch onto whatever sound was most popular at the time and regurgitated more of the same. Somehow they built an extremely successful career doing this.
To be fair to them, they released Smash just in time for skate punk to suddenly explode into the mainstream. They went from punk scene kids playing shitty dive bars and squats to being up there with Green Day, Nofx, and Rancid at the top of the punk tree, and kinda wanted to stay there. So Smash is a legitimately brilliant record, Ixnay On The Hombre is great, then they hit their formula with Americana and cruised along that rut.
As someone who actually likes The Offspring, this is definitely true. lol Also, a lot of their songs are just kinda the same song.
But on the other hand, their guitarist's name is Noodles. So... that's not nothing.
Meanwhile, Dexter has a PhD and owns a hot sauce company.
Okay, I'll be that guy... TOOL
Ouch. What do you normally listen to, for context?
