AlphaMale 87 Platinum Records and a Drug Addiction to Match

When answering another thread, I came across this thought. I started thinking of the bands that I used to listen to all the time, but that I don't listen to today at all. Some bands I am just sick of. Other bands I often wonder why I ever liked in the first place. And some bands you just forget about while trying to catch up to all the cool music out in 2012.

 

The bands I used to love but never listen to anymore:

 

Bon Jovi

Def Leppard

Metallica

Great White

Guns N Roses

 

The bands I am just sick of hearing:

 

Ac/Dc

Scorpions

Zeppelin

 

 

Bands I just don't fucking like anymore:

 

Aerosmith

Basically you mentioned all the bands you hear on the radio. Not that those bands suck, but you hear the same songs over and over. The people that run F.M. radio should get a clue and play a song from one of those bands, thats not in heavy rotation.. It's not like these bands are not putting out albums.

One lesser known band that comes to mind - Katmandu. I got it when it first came out and it rarely left my tape deck. Now, I'll throw the cd in from time to time and I just cannot stand it.

Bon Jovi, cant bring myself to listen to the old stuff, or the new stuff. I have all their albums, except The Circle - which i never intend on buying. I dont even know where Lost Highway is..last seen in a random box somewhere as i took its jewel case for something better.

 

I also cant stand the Bon Jovi song used as the Australian Rugby League official song this year... "This is our house?" AHH WHAT???

OK, I have to admit I liked the grunge thing at first so I'd have to say these for sure (don't judge me!):

 

Nirvana

Pearl Jam

Soul Asylum

 

and for hard rock bands:

 

Led Zeppelin (I wish they would please stop playing these guys on classic radio!!!)

Rush

Slaughter (especially Fly To The Angels)

Some GNR (especially Sweet Child O Mine)

Anything from the Queensryche Empire CD (especially Silent Lucidity)

Black Sabbath with Ozzy singing (especially Iron Man & War Pigs)

There are many classic rock bands I used to listen to, but I find kinda boring now. The main one being U2.

I also don't bother with Guns N Roses or Van Halen, anymore.

I can truly say I honestly don't think I'd have a band to name in this thread. I have to admit that if I like something it's usually for good reason and I don't really have a taste in music that has wavered over the entire time I've listened to music. The first bands I ever heard before Bon Jovi and everything that followed were 1927, Bryan Adams, Icehouse, Roxette and Belinda Carlisle and although I don't have many CDs of these artists, I still even love all the songs I used to listen to from these guys as a kid, and through time have gathered most of them either via the net or from my brothers etc.

 

As for Bon Jovi and every band since - I still like all the ones I liked and imagine I always will.

 

I guess my point is that I like what I like and that seems to be a life decision. :)

Similar to Geoff really. No bands I dislike, although a few I listen to less than I used to. Saying that, I'm on a bit of an 80's kick at the moment, so some of my really old stuff is getting the cobwebs brushed off and spun to death. One of the really good things about music, you forget about a lot of stuff, then suddenly find it and relive it all over again.

Interesting...

 

Living in the greater Seattle area, I can live a long and happy life never hearing another song by the likes of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Jimi Hendrix, Heart, Nirvana and it seems even if these bands aren't on the radio ALL the time, which they are, then you get, which again, no more please, GN'R, Aerosmith, Metallica. (YUCK!)

 

 

"Every now and then, I turn it on again, but its plain to see that the radio still suck."

Well put mate, pretty much sums up my view as well.

 

The only one that might apply to me is as mentioned above, Ozzy-era Sabbath. I never listen to that stuff these days, although I'll probably give 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath', 'N.I.B.' or 'Paranoid' a spin before too long...

The 90's albums IMO weren't of the standard of the previous ones but again IMO, Brave New World and A Matter Of Life And Death were really excellent, especially the latter.

I still love the new Maiden stuff and Brave New World is in my top 5 Maiden albums. No Prayer was a let down and Fear of the Dark had some great songs but several crap songs and the less said about the Blaze era the better.

      Best albums of 2024

      By tts42572 · Posted

      I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.

      Best albums of 2024

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin

      I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try.

      I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year.

      The Angels - Ninety Nine

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.

      AI generated music… is this where we’re heading?

      By Geoff · Posted

      Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice.
