Ozzy Osbourne, Duran Duran

I didn't mind ozzy's classic stuff from the eightees with Randy Rhoads and then Jake e Lee on guitar. But I didn't really care much for his stuff with zakk Wylde, It kind of pissed me off that he was on the cover of the guitar magazines almost every month in the second half of the 2000's, definitely the most over rated played of that decade.

This thread starts and ends with KISS, terrible music and they paved the way for style over substance in the industry.

 

 

I get the feeling that this thread is just getting started. The Ramones, I don't care that their from the New York city 

I don't care about the Ramones.

I want to know why the OP wants to start a brawl? 

 

I listen to an EXTREMELY wide variety of music eras and genres, so there's not a lot I 'hate'.

 

But I just can't listen to Rush. Which is a shame as they're exceedingly talented musicians... Who make awful sounding music 

I made up this thread yesterday while I was at work in the late morning. It was pouring rain and I was starving, I had the radio on 92.9 kism and Rush's Tom Sawyer came on the radio and I thought to myself, I really hate this band and that's what gave me the idea to make this thread. I just had some pizza so I'm all good now. But my hatred for the music of rush remains.

The clash has been one of my favourite bands of any genre for over 20 years.  The music is one thing (everyone has their tastes). I feel the clash did a great job of transcending genres but I digress.

 

for me it was the attitude/presence of Joe Strummer as a frontman and as a person. 100% true blue.  Born leader.

At least Joe Strummer wasn't a junkie like Johnny thunders and had a more lengthy career in music and I used to be a huge Johnny thunders fan. Joe Strummer was great too but probably much better and more professional.

Nonetheless thunders was one of the players that influenced the clash..

Now I want to hear what music you do like?  So I can understand this insanity.  (I agree re The Doors and U2...although I didn't give much of their stuff a chance/go based on initial "nopes").

 

I generally either love or hate music.  It's mostly instantaneous and not much grows on me.  Except if someone says "listen to this great song/band" and I'm not in the right environment for it.  I hated a few of my kid's favourites....until we were sitting around their place, drinking wine and playing board games.  Or driving in the car at sunset to a family outing.  Then it turned into an aha moment and instant love of ("oh, I get it now").

 

I hate The Clash.  Don't ban me.

 

I also really hated the 80's for music ... except G & R, The Cult, The Hip and a few others.  But that era of music was a big no for me.  I'm a 90's girl, through and through.  The older (70's stuff) has faded out for me - don't hate it, but don't listen to it (ever).  It's on the shelf.  If something is played (like I heard The Rain Song in....Shoppers Drug Mart...really?!) I can instantly revert back to "oh I love that song" but don't feel a pressing desire to play it on a loop.

 

We have strayed from classic but I think anything pre 1990 can now be thrown in.  We old.

 

I don't care for The Eagles either.  Or Tom Petty (too whiney/nasaly for me).  Most of the bands I can't stand have been rejected quickly...so haven't really given them a fair shake.

I use to love the clash but I stopped caring about punk when my old band broke up years ago. I recently started selling off part of my record collection.

My old records of the clash, New York Dolls, Johnny thunders, the velvet underground and a bunch of old punk bands from L.A. that are virtually unknown. They're all gone. Of course I'm keeping part of my collection and that's the stuff that still matters to me.

Journey sucks.

 

I want Telegraph Road played at my wedding.

Now that you mentioned it

I hate journey solely for the fact that at Canucks games they use don't stop believing and I especially can't stand the Ramones one of the most overrated bands of all time, it annoys me when they use blitzkrieg bop in Canucks games. Use to like the Ramones at one point but when people at the bars started comparing my music to the Ramones that was my breaking point when I stopped caring for them

Rock and Roll is not the same as Rock Music

 

rock and roll
/ˈˌräk ən ˈrōl/
noun
a type of popular dance music originating in the 1950s, characterized by a heavy beat and simple melodies. Rock and roll was an amalgam of black rhythm and blues and white country music, usually based on a twelve-bar structure and an instrumentation of guitar, bass, and drums.

 

Rock and roll artists such as : Fats Domino, Lloyd Price, Ike Turner, Hank Williams, Joe Turner, Louis Jordan, Ray Charles, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly - and Elvis Presley

 

Rock music evolved from 'rock and roll' but is not the same.

 

rock mu·sic
noun
a form of popular music that evolved from rock and roll and pop music during the mid and late 1960s. Harsher and often self-consciously more serious than its predecessors, it was initially characterized by musical experimentation and drug-related or antiestablishment lyrics.

 

Notable hard rock bands form the 1960s include The Who, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and Steppenwolf.

 

OP: are you asking which band from the rock and roll era (1950s) or from the rock era (1960s )?

In general.

But on a personal note the fifties has been my favorite era of music since since the summer of 2014. Lately it's been anything goes within rock style music. 

PS one of the reasons I bought my fender Stratocaster last week was because it resembles the fender stratocaster that buddy holly used
