Love the undertones, but ‘teenage kicks’ is just annoying.

Buzzcocks are great, but I can’t help feeling that I’ve heard ‘ever falllen in love’ far too often.

Love the pixies, but what were they thinking with ‘monkey gone to heaven’?

What are your liked bands/ disliked songs?

Interesting thread, but nah. You’re wrong on all of those.

I always thought that ‘Where is my mind’ stuck out as a Pixies song that didn’t really fit with the rest of their output, and yet it’s easily their most well-known. I don’t dislike it, but I can understand why some Pixies fans do.

Far. Too. Cheerful.

You’re crazy man, the Insert Band are awesome, Insert Song is some of their best work.

I dearly love My Bloody Valentine and have done since back in the day.

Never really got into Soon though, and don’t even mention the dance remix.

I love Abba but Chiquitita really takes the biscuit.
& you are wrong about teenage kicks. 🙂

Oasis
Wonderwall

So many better songs, why does everyone think this one is the best? It’s not.

The Cure, great.

“Friday I’m In Love”, not at all great.

Agree with Oasis and Wonderwall. Ironic that The Masterplan was the B side of the single (remember them?).

I was massively into Nirvana but Teen Spirit just irritates me

just to flip the thread (and oasis) around……

i hate oasis (the gallaghers) and always said i could never like any of their songs even if they were good songs, just cos its them, but….. just cant help loving noels new song ‘holy mountain’.

Dr Hook.
Sylvia’s Mother (oh and all the other saccharine sweet pap they churned out in later years).

I’m a big Led Zep fan but really don’t like “Since I’ve been loving you” Not sure why, it was always part of their live set, but I’ve never got on with it.

Bloc Party and hate their newish album Hymns.
Total disaster of an album unlike all their others.
I felt that enraged having purchased the deluxe version that I also felt compelled to write a fairly strong worded review.

I was massively into Nirvana but Teen Spirit just irritates me

How dare you,

Guns n Roses and Sweet Child of Mine.

Note to covers bands: THEY’VE DONE OTHER EFFING SONGS

Couldn’t agree more with some of Guns n roses stuff.
They’re plenty better songs they did but definitely an overated band just like AC/DC

Always found Emotional Rescue by the Rolling Stones really annoying

Bloody love prodigy, bloody hate firestarter (a thousand fat middle aged blokes all gurning and pretending to be Keith have warped my fragile little mind)

Underworld and Born Slippy.

t dog – nope – this is the only version of teen spirit worth hearing

Yes, my eyes roll back, every time I hear ‘teen spirit’!

Teenage kicks is one of the best pop songs ever. truely brilliant

Dexy’s did some cool stuff, but Come On Eileen is execrable.

“Love will tear us apart” is easily the weakest track in joy divisions repertoire.

Teenage kicks just sounds a bit ‘laboured’

Love chemical brothers. Salmon dance makes me want to burn things.

The Wonderstuff and Size of a cow

Los Del Rio has a respectable output, but “Macarena”…

Still love EMF.
Still hate ‘Unbelievable’.

I like Pearl Jam but I don’t like Heyfoxymophandlemama, That’s Me. I suspect I am not alone in this.

@ ChrisL – what’s your fav PearlJam album, would it be Ten ?

definitely an overated band

Guns n Roses are most definitely NOT overrated, but they do have other songs that aren’t SCoM.

Yeah Mikey, they have other songs which are well worthy of a listen or two.

Oasis
Wonderwall

So many better crap songs, why does everyone think this one is the best? It’s not.

Guns n Roses are most definitely NOT overrated, but they do have other songs that aren’t SCoM.

Sorry to disabuse you of that particular notion, but G’n’R are massively overrated, that strangled caterwauling makes my brain itch every time I have the misfortune to hear them on the radio.
I cannot conceive of any set of circumstances where I would voluntarily buy a G’n’R recording.

+1 on G&R – each to their own and all that but their flowery “glamrock dressed up as pseudo-metal” sets my teeth on edge.

Underworld and Born Slippy

Agreed. Although when they performed it at Camden Roundhouse as an encore even I was going mental.

@ ChrisL – what’s your fav PearlJam album, would it be Ten ?

Maybe Yield, though I really like Vitalogy, just not that last track. Teen wouldn’t be in my top three, anyway.

Led Zeppelin

Stairway to Heaven.

Enough to buckle even the steeliest of grey matter.

‘pretending to be Keith’ <——— 😆

Oh yeah the thread. Every band has a duffer or at least something you dislike..

The most glaring one for me is Underworld – ‘Born Slippy’

Extra annoying on account of it originally scaring me away from this ‘new’ band Underworld everyone was banging on about. However I much later heard an LP of theirs and was completely hooked. Still skip past ‘Born Slippy’. Every time. Grates to the nth.
