I don't like the "where do we go now?" part of Sweet Child 'o' Mine.

Mindkiller

I think at that part Axl was genuinely asking what the fup he should write next.

Im sure you dont like this part because you cant sing it, there is a story to why they recorded this I just cant remember it ,

I really dislike the band These New Puritans, their last album got critical acclaim across the board, can't see why, I think they're very overrated and can't find much to value in their music.

I know some people who creamed over their last album Hidden. I gave it a couple of listens and it did nothing for me whatsoever. I know the band are trying to do something different and I respect them for that, but their music just seems so devoid of life and feeling. At least there's plenty of other good British bands to listen to instead.

Rothko

I think The Crunge by Led Zeppelin is an awful song.

Likewise, Astral Weeks makes my ears bleed......

Try listening to it a couple of times.

I had this problem with a lot of albums when I started listening to new bands.

Some take time, OK Computer by Radiohead I hated at first, but now I love it.

Coldplay's Myloxyloto is boring

People listen to some tedious music just so they can come across as music connoisseurs. A lot of bands that are held in high regard really do make some boring music(despite their talent)

Tell me what qualifies as tedious music in your view.

When some people really, REALLY, love music and love discovering new music all the time, they are eventually going to start digging deeper and deeper into music to satisfy their addiction. Eventually they are going to be listening to a lot of music that some people find boring and tedious. Some might do it just to be cool but most are just searching for the most mind-blowing music they could ever hear.

The real music fans in my view are the ones that aren't afraid to step outside their comfort zone in order to find music they really love.

I better put my Twitter account on private or I'll have a whole army of them descend on my page and ruin it.

+1 on Zero's post.

I would add that for the fans starting to walk out of their comfort zone, there are a couple of good ways to go out looking for more music.

Yahoo answers is great for that, sometimes its good for searching for a question like "suggest some non-mainstream music", or for those with specific tastes, adding "like X band/artist" you will get a question where the posters answering recommend non-mainstream acts that make similar music. Then the next place to check is youtube for a taste of the suggested music.

If the fan likes some of the non-mainstream music they may like to purchase it on amazon. Amazon also makes recommendations "customers who bought X also purchased Y" so thats another option opened for branching out. These things are especially great as far as underground muic is concerned. I really like Irish folk music and through Frances Black I discovered Julie Gold who wrote a few of my favourite FB songs, so I went on amazon for Julie's music and next time I came on, it gave me recommendations for other artists who were purchased by buyers also liking Julie.

So these things work like magic, and I'd recommend them for fans looking for new music.

hahaha, I thought exactly the same, they're too busy keeping the kid as a Twitter TT worldwide to come here get some culture from the board

I would never have contemplated using Yahoo answers as a way to discover new music but k.

You get trollers there just like anywhere else, but there are always some good posts hidden between the mass junk.

A sample of an artist I wouldn't have found without YA.

I would never have thought of using Yahoo Answers to find new music. Rate Your Music and Last.fm already overwhelm me with tons of great recommendations that YA would be completely out of the picture.

Deus Ex Machina

"Perfect Day" by Lou Reed is the worst song ever made, in my opinion. I'll add that the best possible performance of Perfect Day is a eighty-seven billion times worse than any X-Factor audition blooper version of any other already terrible song.

If my torture was to endure a twenty-four hours constant loop of a song of my choosing between either Perfect Day or Friday by Rebecca Black, the duration of my hesitation before I chose the latter would be so brief that no device on earth would be able to detect it.

Mindkiller

This is still my favourite question on Yahoo Answers.

BengaLover

Jedward are actually quite good....

Meh. They're pretty similar. Both presumably about heroin.


Either way, both are far better than the entire back catalogues of The Beautiful South, Good Charlotte, Hard-Fi and M People.

Rothko

Out Of Time is R.E.M.'s worst album.
