If you could unplug them... - Page 2

Matchbox Twenty is an excellent call.
I have also instigated a blanket no play rule for Melissa Etheredge, Blues Traveler, Indigo Girls, and any of the designated diva vocal stylists (a rather large and annnoying grouping). Some rap is interesting, but is hard to find, as much of it sounds alike, or annoys me with its silly posturing. Very similar to my reaction to rockin' hair bands. So that would bring on a tug.
Dave Mathews...again? I've found my hand on the cord.

I'm sick of people telling me that Classical Music is superior to all other music.

Formerly popular bands who either broke up or just stopped playing/recording, whose members are now all over 40 (or more), that get back together and do a "reunion" tour.

But it's true. None of this crap the kids listen to today holds a candle the the classical geniuses.

Like the beatles or Grand Funk or....:p

Sean "P. Diddy" Combs...he's a great businessman, but he should never be allowed to pick up a microphone again.

Dr. Zaius · 05-25-2003, 12:19 PM

Eminem....I think his music and merchandise and possibly the man himself should be dumped into the nearest sewer effluent.

Oh...and William Shatner should never be allowed to sing "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" again or it's death by concentrated phaser fire.

Mannheim Steamroller. Truly, the only answer is a wood chipper.

Hey!! I love them. Even made the pilgrimmage out to QVC Studio Park to see them live! (I am also a Big fan of Chip Davis' other project ... CW McCall)

Uryoces · 05-27-2003, 04:29 AM

Oh, man. Manheim Steamroller...

I spent the weekend at my brother's, and we were sitting around after just having seen The Matrix Reloaded. We were agreeing the Fresh Aire series is a guilty pleasure for us. I don't know why, but we had a copy of Fresh Aire III that was playing in the background continuously one summer long ago, so we were kind of inoculated, inured, I don't know.

We could sit and listen to it now, and not bat an eyebrow, but if my sister-in-law walked into the room, she'd give us that "special look" and ask all manner of needling questions about it, and we probably couldn't defend it. I don't even know if I could call it an acquired taste. It's magnificent orchestral themes sometimes set to weird beats, covered in a generous portion of cheese.

I have all 8 Fresh Aire CDs. I went out of my way to find them.

Griff · 05-27-2003, 06:09 AM

Shame. Shame on you both! Shame on me for buying that CW McCall album for my Mom when I was a kid. Now I'm culpable.

warch · 05-27-2003, 12:53 PM

The Steamy roller reminded me of the worst concert performance I have ever endured... Pat Metheny. UGH. Talk about your overly processed cheese. ICK. He was interested in making his guitar sound like everything else in the world but a guitar. And it was annoying.

Elspode · 05-31-2003, 12:32 AM

Hey...Pat is a local guy...well, he was. From Lee's Summit, just next door to Grandview. I have a couple of friends who took guitar lessons from him back in the dark ages.

Not that I listen to his music or anything...but he uses guitar synths, and I admire that.

Can we PLEASE unplug all playlist based radio stations for the good of all humanity?

elSicomoro · 05-31-2003, 12:39 AM

So, you're asking that we wipe out most radio stations in this country?

Sounds good to me.

Barring Black Sabbath who are outside of all rules.

I can't think of any bands that I want to unplug that won't do it themselves in time. Good Charlotte comes to mind, but they'll die out soon enough.

Actually, Blink 182 really piss me off. So do Sum 41. And Madonna just has to go.
