[Sir Elzio Dennick]

Journey~~~ Aerosmith, Queen thats about it.

~~~~ Steve Perry is out of Hanford, that's about 20ish miles west of where I grew up. So there I am at a bar in Hanford called The El Rancero (motel with a lounge) there is a commotion at the door my first thought......a fight, so in walks this little guy with hair down to his butt, yep.....Steve Perry pre Journey days. I was with my cousin who went to school with Steve.

Steve is ....no no no nay well,ok......so he joins the band (had been on break) while up there he notices Gary my cousin, after a few songs he comes over, real nice guy.

But I'm more into a grit and grim sound than what they do.

 

[triptych]

Well, some, yes....Foo Fighters (just recently re-assessed), Marillion (total garbage), Genesis, Vangelis, Duran Duran (Wild boys recently re-assessed), Camel, Caravan, Reo Speedwagon (they wimped out thru the yrs), Allman Brothers (total garbage!!), Siouxie & the Banshees (yukkk!), Metallica (untold total garbage), Manowar (racist bastards !) and other too many to mention !!!!!!

 

[triptych]

The pompous rock bands: Chicago, Kansas, Styx, Foreigner.
Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, Talking Heads, Devo (untold total garbage !!!!), Doobie Bros, Mastodon, QOTSA, Coldplay (untold total garbage).

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I'd say for me, I'll go with artists rather than bands.

Eagles (just wet imo), Billy Joel, Elton John, Manic Street Preachers, RHCP (under the bridge is good though), Pearl Jam, AC/DC, Steely Dan, Big Star and Elvis Costello.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I don't know if there that big, but Black Sabbath I don't feel anything for them.

Just noise imo.

Naturally, this thread is for subjective posters

(Going to ignore the Blasphemy spoken about Sabbath)

There's bands with a few songs I'll jam out to but as a whole don't care too much for.
Pearl Jam
U2
and all credit to EVH as a guitar God, but Van Halen....

 

[triptych]

Other bands I don't care much for:-
Bee Gees esp their disco crap period, KC and the fuckin' Sunshine Band, 99% of all the wimpy boy bands, Offspring, Cypress Hill, strangely Love, Sly & the Family Stone.

 

[triptych]

The Village fuckin' People, Lacuna Coil, Little Feat.

U2 had some decent 80s songs, but overall... Fuck them

Bruce Springsteen and his E street band…never understood the hype

Me neither. However, I had to re-rate Little Steven , the band's guitarist down thru the years because apart from his excellent guitar style, he has been promoting new, young garage psych bands thru his LSUG project.
As for The Boss, I prefer his wife Patty Scialfa, who sings very well, she was one of the vocalists in the ES Band, then gradually went solo and has released 3 or 4 excellent albums. I do like Bruce's second last album though coz he's gone back to his roots in that one.

Oh by the way, the only hype was coz he wimped out on his original fanbase by releasing that cheesy Born in the U.S.A. crap !!

yeah, he released it at the right time. my father in law is a huge Bruce fan so I agreed to take him to his recent tour…I must say I was fairly bored haha, but pretended to enjoy it more than I did for his sake

I know they get a lot of hate but they have some really good earlier songs…and I’ll admit, I do still like Achtung Baby a lot

yeah I can’t say L Steven isn’t talented, he is for sure as is the rest of the band…and you can’t blame them for sticking with Bruce and making all that money but it’s just not my cup of tea

agree with a lot of these but you’re way off on L Zep
