Songs I like from bands I can't stand

[The Polack MSgt]

Limp Bizkit's only good song? I think it's the only candidate for the title. "Re-Arranged"

I hate Journey like a re-occurring lip chancre. But I like this song.

Match Box 20 is a lukewarm bowl of oh so forgettable FM cream of wheat. Kinda dig this one though.

Dave Mathews, I mean damn, you get it, right?
This one actually makes me bop a little, and I keep it in my wallet for the DMB fans who want to hear him at the cookout.

It's not that I don't hate a lot of other bands, I SURELY DO. It's just that most of the other bands don't have even 1 song I like.

Looking at you in particular Kiss

1. I would have to put Aerosmith in the same category.

Maybe it is the oversaturation on "Top 40 " radio but I could go to my grave without hearing another one of their songs.

2. Back in the early 70's, Aerosmoth was a bar band at Sr. Morgan's Cove in Worcester, MA.

saw them a few times, wasn't impressed,

4. Aerosmith from "Get Your Wings" all the way through "Done with Mirrors" was a very good rock band

Then the band died a natural death and were loved and remembered by rockers all over America.

Then MTV resurrected them and Zombie Aerosmith shit all over their legacy as they released shit hack job records called "Crying Amazing Pink Baby on an Elevator" and such.

I also hate that era and that of course they piled money from floor to ceiling. Selling dreck.

Sad

6. Play this out with me...a little game called "What if.."

In the late 70's Aerosmith was skyrocketing and needed a charter plane service to get them between gigs. They passed on a plane because their manager wasn't comfortable with the drunken pilot who what's showing the manager around the plane, allegedly the pilot was passing a bottle of Jack back and forth with his co-pilot.
Another band, who was equally on the upswing in popularity, ended up chartering the plane, leading to tragedy.
What if Aerosmith had chartered that plane and half the band was killed in a crash? "Draw the Line" would have been their last album as the original lineup. What would Lynard Skynard have become had it not been for that plane crash?
Just one of those things I think about from time to time lol.

5. Ted Nugent is truly horrible in every way

But I love “Stranglehold.”

[The Polack MSgt]

8. Agreed. I was actually a Ted fan in High School

But I was dipshit in HS, so what can I tell you?

9. I really despise "Shittypants".....

But the song "High Enough" when he was in Damn Yankees with Tommy Shaw was one I liked.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

12. I saw them during the height of Gulf War I

They did that Night Ranger “ Rock in America” an Uncle Ted whipped out his bow and shot an effigy of Hussein in the balls.

14. Nugent Is Barely On That Song

All the guitar work on that song is Tommy. Teddy the fake tough guy, only contributes backing vocals. Ignore tye video.
They shared song writing credits on everything, but Blades wrote it & Shaw arranged it. Tommy went back to record other guitar parts because nobody liked what Nugent had played. The only thing we hear from him is mic bleed from other microphones during rhythm track recording.
Hoping that makes you fell better about liking it.

15. That does make me feel better. Thanks!

Perfessor!

7. I love Matchbox Twenty's 3AM.

[Bristlecone]

13. This is a really interesting post

One could spend a lot of time on these.
The Gin Blossoms come to mind out of the gate, but I like this song:

16. I normally turn off any song from KISS.....

but I totally crank "Beth". Because I was friends with a "Beth" once.

[happybird]

17. Always appreciate learning of another Journey hater

for a long time, I thought I was the only one.
My pick is this one:

A straight banger.
I don’t have the hatred for Queens of the Stone Age that I do for Journey, Aerosmith, and KISS but everything else I’ve heard of theirs does not impress.

[WestMichRad]

18. Thought I was the only one...

who despises the bands you noted. Aerosmith not as much - I did like Get Your Wings, and that was the first band I saw live (besides Kansas, their opener)… but Journey and Kiss? What drek!
