Any songs or bands you don't get? Like, basically, are there songs or bands that a lot of people like and you just don't get why?

For me, there's 2 main songs:

Justin Timberlake-What Comes Around
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m8PchFpMfM

So I have major problems with this song and I wish I knew musical terms or whatver cuz I know I'm on to something for why I hate this song

So, I hate the beat, it's just mediocre to me, like it's trying too hard to be a sad tragic song, and I hate the way he sings"what goes around comes around goes around comes back around," I don't know I just really think that's the most awful part of the song

And if I'm not mistaken this stupid song won a ****ing grammy

Leona Lewis-Bleeding Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF84pIhP5UM

Ok, I do not get why people love this song-I mean that one part of the song where the music slows down, and Leona really uses her voacl range, I'll admit thats a good part of the song......but the rest of it?-the whole backbeat of the song sound like a really bad 80s song backbeat

Portishead

Ok, so I'd heard of this band numerous times and I always thought cuz of the weird gross name, that it was some Slipknot type metal band.....then, I actually listened to their albums thru the sampler on Amazon, and youtube, and I hate all their music

I honestly don't get why people LOVE them-guess it's just a preference thing...

i totally know what you mean, im a huge music fan and i dont like to put down someone elses taste in music, but i never knew why anyone likes "black hole sun" by soundgarden. to me its such a terrible song, but it gets played all the time.

I don't like lady Gaga...I really just don't understand how she is so popular.

I like that song, but I can understand why you would say that.

There are a lot of songs that I didn't like the first few times I heard them, but they grew on me.

I never got the Smashing Pumpkins. I find Billy Corgan's voice to be annoying. About the only song by them I like is "1979" even that I very rarely listen to.

Me neither.

I don't get a lot of indie bands either. They all sound the same to me, but I guess something about them makes them really popular. What though?

tom waits

i can get why people like him, but i just can't get that into him. which is odd because it's the kind of music i'd probably really enjoy. *shrugs*

Saqq · 10-31-2009, 12:41 PM

anything from Nothing to Fear's list.

Rap. At least mainstream rap made within the past 10 years. I don't get if its like a joke, and they're sitting behind the scenes laughing and counting their money, or if it's supposed to be taken seriously.

strawberryjulius · 10-31-2009, 06:22 PM

radiohead, pink floyd, nirvana....they all bore me to tears.

chunkylover53 · 10-31-2009, 06:25 PM

Kings of Leon. They're just... crap.

zookeeper · 10-31-2009, 06:38 PM

I don't get most music. But in particular, all my music-snob friends absolutely love Rufus Wainwright, but he annoys the **** out of me.

Oh dear heavens, I hate them!
I like Black Hole Sun too, but it's not the type of song I'd listen to regularly....I also abhor Smashing Pumpkins.
That song with Nelly and Tim McGraw makes me want to claw my ear drums out

Over and Over Again? or something like that. *barf*
I like Muse tons more than Radiohead, but I like Creep by them.
I also cannot stand Coldplay....The Scientist was ok, but the rest is not my cup o' tea

mrbojangles · 10-31-2009, 09:23 PM

the pumpkins are awesome, im also from chicago so im a little biased lol.

brokensaint · 10-31-2009, 09:29 PM

Pretty much anything in the top 40.

agreed.

Emptyheart · 10-31-2009, 09:49 PM

The church..I don't get their song called "reptile" although I love it LOL

tvgirl48 · 10-31-2009, 11:54 PM

Pink Floyd, definitely. Miley Cyrus. I don't have anything against teen pop or ultrafamous people I just hate her voice. Her and Taylor Swift's voice are just like nails on a chalkboard for me. Others, but I can't think of them all right now. Bob Dylan. I don't care how political or insightful your lyrics are, the sound of it makes my ears bleed. David Bowie - I've tried so hard to like his music, but I only like about 5 of his songs and the rest are just boring to me.

I absolutely hate music snobs. I hate the type of music snob that thinks any band that anyone else has heard of or likes is an awful band that sold out. The kind that thinks Indie bands are the absolute best and everything and anything remotely popular is awful. The kind that would sooner slit their wrists than listen to top 40. If I like a song or band, I listen to it, the end. I have a really eclectic taste in music so I love lots of "cool" music and lots of "crap" music of all different genres.

hiimnotcool · 11-01-2009, 12:26 AM

People always hate me when I say this...

The Beatles. I just don't see the big deal about them at all. They bore me to death. I listen to them and think 'This must be some sort of trick. You mean this is what the big fuss is about?'.

Mr. Frostie · 11-01-2009, 12:35 AM

Anything that's popular and made in the last 15 years. Early 90s grunge/modern rock was the last time you could still turn on the radio and hear a good song.
