Conmaniac: Rating Nostalgic Bands You've Grown Out Of

Conmaniac 07.14.16	nostalgia is a weird fucking thing man
YetAnotherBrick 07.14.16	classic dilemma. a lot of the stuff i just don't bother rating because it's impossible. some albums i've been able to find some substance in tho, i.e. Paramore's first three albums. Blink up to their s/t are legitimately good too
CalculatingInfinity 07.14.16	So many bands fit into this category for me but surprisingly none are on this list. However In the End was awesome as a kid, still awesome to jam now.
FullOfSounds 07.14.16	I'm definitely not into Linkin Park anymore, but ATS is still a great album
Snake. 07.14.16	pretty much any post-grunge/alt metal band that i dug in middle school
elliootsmeuth 07.14.16	From Under the Cork Tree and Infinity on High are pop-punk masterpieces. Linkin Park was my favorite band for a long ass time, along with RHCP. Meteora was the first album I ever listened to front to back. I went back and listened to it a couple months ago and I still knew all the lyrics.
LeSonataWishPark 07.14.16	Kinda surprised to see 4 and 5 here. Specially 5
Trebor. 07.14.16	People my age that are obsessed with nostalgia weird me out I listen to like 2% of what I listened to in high school
Snake. 07.14.16	"From Under the Cork Tree and Infinity on High are pop-punk masterpieces." IoH is shit and not pop punk
LeSonataWishPark 07.14.16	From Under the Cork Tree and Infinity on High are pop-punk masterpieces. Masterpieces my ass, FOB has always sucked donkey balls
Artuma 07.14.16	"from ages 4-14 they were basically my favorite band ever" should've guessed you used to be one of those teens
Keyblade 07.14.16	i still listen to all the shit i used to listen to and love it just as much
LeSonataWishPark 07.14.16	Love and defend 1,4 and 5, the old stuff from 7 is solid but sadly after 21st century they became bland as fuck, 3 is enjoyable, 6 has good songs but is overrated as fuck and I fuckin despise with burning passion all the stuff crafted by FOB
Futures 07.14.16	yeah keyblade same. used to be a huge deathcore kid still jam it still enjoy it.
Rik VII 07.14.16	"pretty much any post-grunge/alt metal band that i dug in middle school" [2] but it's surprising to see that my music taste hasn't really changed that much within the last 5 years, it just expanded.
Keyblade 07.14.16	yea thats a good way to put it. my taste never really changed, just expanded
Snake. 07.14.16	i still somewhat dig all the pop punk bands that i jammed back in the day, even the mopey ones like recently i've had with me by sum 41 on a loop because i played that song to death in 7th grade
Rik VII 07.14.16	yeah I mean it changed a lot till the age of, say, 17 or so, but after that, not so.
LeSonataWishPark 07.14.16	Saw sum 41 1 year ago, their show was decent. Sometimes I check their stuff until chuck, after underclass hero they went donwhill
Conmaniac 07.14.16	"should've guessed you used to be one of those teens" lol yeah 1 year of my teenage years... also completely forgot about Sum 41. they def fit in here
DoofusWainwright 07.14.16	Tool Red Hot Chilli Peppers Terrorvision Korn Slayer Rage Against the Machine Michael Jackson Guns n' Roses Pantera Green Day Bad Religion Deftones Placebo Skunk Anansie I still like all this stuff to some degree but no way to the same degree as before
Cygnatti 07.14.16	my taste has changed dramatically, however i still maintain emo-pop era pop punk is the best pop punk by far and is good. i don't like it as much as i did, but i still dig.
Conmaniac 07.14.16	interesting choice with MJ but agreed with RATM
DoofusWainwright 07.14.16	I'm actually going to listen to the MJ back catalogue sometime soon, maybe I'll still dig a lot
Conmaniac 07.14.16	never was a huge MJ fan tbh but I feel like he's one of the exceptions where people view his music as timeless
porcupinetheater 07.14.16	Back when I was about 5-6, Smash Mouth, Eve 6, Sister Hazel, and They Might Be Giants got me hardcore into music. Still listen to Eve 6 and TMBG, at least
Conmaniac 07.14.16	all of those bands you listed ive only listened to one song by them when I was a kid
LeSonataWishPark 07.14.16	Smash mouth had only 3 songs, the rest were just filler
Conmaniac 07.14.16	All Star Walking on the Sun ???
porcupinetheater 07.14.16	I'm assuming he means the I'm a Believer cover
Conmaniac 07.14.16	oh right that was a thing
ArsMoriendi 07.14.16	Honestly The Rolling Stones, I really liked them for a period, but not I only tend to revisit a few songs by them.
Cygnatti 07.14.16	paint it, black is like the best song ever. but other than that...?
Futures 07.14.16	dude gimme shelter tho
ArsMoriendi 07.14.16	Actually Gimmie Shelter is one of the songs I tend to revisit most, that Shattered, Dancing with Mr. D, She's So Cold, and a couple others...
Nazzadan 07.14.16	Like every edgy kid my age, I used to love A7x. Now I can't stand them.
Conmaniac 07.14.16	almost went through a A7x phase but ended up not pursuing it
Tunaboy45 07.14.16	I should know better but I have 7 at 4.5 because nostalgia is a powerful thing and that album still holds up really well.
onionbubs 07.14.16	Avenged sevenfold Linkin park Mcr Then again I'm 15 so more are on the way
TheSonomaDude 07.14.16	Most nostalgic bands honestly
hesperus 07.15.16	I used to love Norma Jean's first album. Even now, I can't justify rating it below a 3.5
lz41 07.15.16	We're all thinking Bon Jovi.
runaways 08.06.16	I still enjoy FOB from time to time, rarely MCR but if I'm feeling it. I dig old Coldplay, it was really what got me into indie pop. Also TTTYG is FOB's masterpiece, though a lot of their fans would claim it's Folie a Deux (which, tbh is underrated).
AsleepInTheBack 08.09.16	Can relate hard to 1, I don't listen to it and by my current standards/tastes it's not so good, but I have it at a 4.5 as the first album I ever bought and my favourite band/album for years
Conmaniac 08.09.16	surprised this thread got bumped but yeah LP is and always will be a nostalgic band no matter how much I grow to hate them. I have Hybrid Theory at a 4 I think maybe 4.5
AsleepInTheBack 08.09.16	Idk man, saw some nostalgia love for LP and had to comment haha. Got some nostalgic love for 6 and 7 too
Conmaniac 08.09.16	totally getcha aha. and yeah 5 is the only one on here that's not really nostalgic yet but like I said I fear that im growing out of them a bit
AsleepInTheBack 08.09.16	Still never listened to a radiohead record, need to fix that
Conmaniac 08.09.16	woahhh what? yeah they are pretty essential haha. got me into all the stuff im into now
Sowing 08.09.16	I face the same conflict every time I comment on an old album thread. Generally, if it was good enough for me to have strong nostalgia associated with it, I just leave the rating alone.
Conmaniac 08.09.16	yeah I getcha. havent been on here long enough though to have that happen. I usually just dont rate the stuff cloudy by nostalgia but there's some exceptions
AsleepInTheBack 08.09.16	Yeah, got most of their albums downloaded, just trying to find a sec to give them the attention they deserve. Yeah, nostalgia has a fair bit of sway in my ratings too, probably a bit too much
Conmaniac 08.09.16	nostalgia is my favorite concept ever. researched it a ton in college for a paper and it's so intriguing, especially in the context of music
Ocean of Noise 08.09.16	I just rate albums based on how much I enjoy them now. Some albums hold up well, some don't.
AsleepInTheBack 08.09.16	That's pretty cool man. I know a lot of people don't like nostalgia and how it can distort your memories and encourage you to fixate on the past rather than the present, but the fact that like a song can take me back years is fascinating and so damn enjoyable
Conmaniac 08.09.16	dude i literally wrote a paper on nostalgia and music...even found some really really interesting studies on how certain chords can provoke nostalgia more so than other chords. but yeah the fact that I can put on a song and have a lot of the same feelings I felt when I first listened to that song is so fucking interesting to me. the brain is a crazy thing
AsleepInTheBack 08.09.16	Huh, sweet, did not know that. Kind of wish at times I chose a psychology degree rather than law, all that shit sounds so interesting
Conmaniac 08.09.16	haha not even in psych but did it for a writing class. psych would be a cool major tbh but it's way too theoretical for my brain
guitarded_chuck 08.09.16	Sum 41 Bad Religion Pennywise NOFX The Offspring
Conmaniac 08.09.16	yes to Sum 41 and The Offspring hard
