Members jorhay1 Posted December 4, 2016 Members Posted December 4, 2016 To be fair that's a photoshopped picture of Howe with make up. Try this: Also, He's more Crypt Keeper than Gollum.
Members jorhay1 Posted December 4, 2016 Members Posted December 4, 2016 Classic 'what' Band? Rock? RnB? Jazz?Anyway, EaglesRushELOFrankie Beverly and MazeWith a few exceptions, any Jazz after the 60's.
Members Telecruiser Posted December 4, 2016 Members Posted December 4, 2016 I agree with that! After a while I had to tell her I had things to do after three hours of her talking. Interesting stuff but she seemed to be a lonely person.
Members SteinbergerHack Posted December 4, 2016 Members Posted December 4, 2016 Well, I've known a lot of people who have never heard of Little Feat....but those who know them, like'em. I also haven't known any musicians who didn't like Steely Dan......what's up with that?
Members Minning Around Posted December 5, 2016 Members Posted December 5, 2016 Lemme take a wild guess too. Conservative. Hates Hippies. Hates drugs. Hates sex.
Members powbob01 Posted December 5, 2016 Members Posted December 5, 2016 The Stones. It's mostly Mick Jagger as the front man I don't care for. I'm not really into the garage band sound either. Jagger is an image I don't want stuck in my head. He looks like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. It could be worse. I could have said the Beatles. I hate his voice. I love the music though.
Members redEL34 Posted December 5, 2016 Members Posted December 5, 2016 I'm having trouble because I can generally think of at least 1 song that I like by most bands. A couple bands that didn't click with me (but still had a song I liked). Foreigner (I hear Trump hates them too). Rush Velvet Underground Oh god I forgot about how much I hate Foreigner!! The lyrics, melodies, guitar playing..ugh:facepalm:.

But, Velvet Underground?? Really?? I don't see how that fits in. And it's cuz I like them.
Members Cornholio Farquarth III Posted December 5, 2016 Members Posted December 5, 2016 There is so much classic rock I couldn't stand back in the day, and the same holds for the present. I was so glad when that era was over.. . . a bunch of sh!t music. Here's a partial list to start. Stones The (Sh!t) Band Doobie (Smeg-For-Brains) Brothers Doors Aerosmith Pink Floyd Eagles Donovan Todd (Fookhead) Rundgren Electric Light (bulb up your ass) Orchestra Jackson (Sh!tface) Browne Bob Seger Moody Blues Procol Harem Paul Simon Simon and Garfunkle KISS Steely Dan Janis Joplin Tom Petty and Heartbreakers Greatful Dead Van Morrison Paul McCartney CCR Fleetwood Mac John Lennon Bob Dylan The Who The Beatles . . . any kind of crappy folk or disco music. Also. . . . Little Feet and Eric Crapton. The guy pioneered elevator music. What else. . Derek and the Doormats.
Members NOS68 Posted December 5, 2016 Members Posted December 5, 2016 I've never been a Beatles fan though I don't hate them, John Lennon on the other hand I can't stand, neither his music or him.
Members DeepEnd Posted December 5, 2016 Members Posted December 5, 2016 There are many different kinds of rhymes. If you exclude all but identical rhymes, I can see your point, but there are probably others that you like but don't realize they fail your standard. . . . Not a matter of rhyme. Here's what I'm talking about from the chorus: Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner Don't carry me too far away Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner 'Cause it's here that I've got to stay The only thing ''airliner'' has to rhyme with is itself so you can pronounce it correctly.
Members DonK Posted December 5, 2016 Members Posted December 5, 2016 Assuming they qualify as classic, for me it's Foreigner, hands-down. Others high on my list would be: The DoorsThe KinksPink FloydJourney
Members gismo recording Posted December 5, 2016 Members Posted December 5, 2016 So much dislike for bands I like. Really? People don't like Pink Floyd? What's wrong with you people? I can see the dislike for Foreigner, Styx, REO Speedwagon, etc. but even though they put out a lot of crap, they also each had a good song or two IMO.And Steve Miller. He's never made a great song but IMO, he's created a lot of good songs and a few crappy ones.The only "classic" band I can think of who I dislike everything I've ever heard from them is Kiss.

Others high on my list would be: The Doors The Kinks Pink Floyd Journey The Kinks? OMG. Ray Davies is among the top five greatest songwriters of the 20th century. Pink Floyd? Again OMG. How can anyone not love Pink Floyd. Even if you think (and I agree) "The Wall" was a bit over-the-top and self indulgent, there's so much more to their catalog.

How can anyone not love Pink Floyd. Even if you think (and I agree) "The Wall" was a bit over-the-top and self indulgent, there's so much more to their catalog. Well, I don't even think of Pink Floyd as rock, not sure what I'd call it, but I find their stuff unlistenable. The first Kinks album I bought was Muswell Hillbillies (though I'd long heard them on the radio), and I hated it so much I traded it for "Who's Next" even though I didn't really care for The Who either. Gonna just have to disagree with you on Ray Davies: I wouldn't put him in the top 100 songwriter of the 20th century. I used to immediately start mashing at the car radio buttons whenever "Lola" would come on.

With the exception of some early stuff (bits of Echoes, Meddle, a Syd Barrett number here and there, Childhood's End), I've also grown to thoroughly dislike Floyd though I was a huge fan when I was in high school. Not to say they weren't great musicians or anything. I love Nick Mason's drumming, for one. The guy had GREAT feel. But I just can't take the ponderousness -- Shine on You Crazy Diamond. Ugggh.
Members moogerfooger Posted December 5, 2016 Members Posted December 5, 2016 the grateful dead. never could listen to them for more a few seconds. not an AC/DC fan or a Ozzy fan.

I think "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" is an absolute masterpiece. Then inarticulate garbage till another peak with Meddle. Dark Side is likewise a masterpiece, just not one I care to ever hear again "Animals" has some real standout moments, but its like you said... ponderous. The Wall is 4 sides of "I'm a whiny b*tch", broken by "Young Lust" which is a killer rock song
Members Gromit Posted December 5, 2016 Members Posted December 5, 2016 Oddly enough, I agree with you on Foreigner, The Doors and Journey, and totally disagree about The Kinks and Pink Floyd. I can understand an American not liking The Kinks, because a lot of their stuff was very, very English.
Members Gromit Posted December 6, 2016 Members Posted December 6, 2016 The problem I have here is that every time I think of a band I can't stand, I think of that one song that I love. The Who - except for 'Behind Blue Eyes'Deep Purple - except for 'Burn'ELO - except for 'Ticket to the moon' (oddly, all British bands. Hmmm) OK, I've thought of 2 bands that I can't stand at all. Kiss and Def Leppard
