10.29.24 | What is the band or bands for you? |
jrlikestodance
10.29.24 | Off the top of my head:
AC/DC
Radiohead (and I like some of their albums)
Daft Punk
The Strokes
Arctic Monkeys
Dream Theater
The 1975
Counterparts
Oasis
Weezer
Any "djent" band after like 2010 |

10.29.24 | AC/DC, Guns n Roses, Eminem are probably my main 3. Otherwise i can’t really think of any artists i straight up don’t fuck with by default |
RunOfTheMill
10.29.24 | I would agree with GnR apart from Appetite for Destruction, which is a sexy af album. Some cuts off GnR Lies are cool, but otherwise always felt the rest of the output was weak |
jrlikestodance
10.29.24 | Sweet Child O' Mine is a karaoke classic |
WretchedCacophony
10.29.24 | AC/DC is trash so that makes sense.
I can't get into Neurosis whatsoever, and it's only been on this site that I've ever even heard them mentioned before (tbh I don't really have any metal friends tho)
Dream Theater is so fkn boring omg |
IsisScript80
10.29.24 | "and it's only been on this site that I've ever even heard them mentioned before"
Neurosis were considered legendary far beyond this site. I knew their status before ever finding Sput. |

10.29.24 | burzum, blood incantation, dream theater (hard dream theater), & honestly opeth.
I do actually understand the praise for all these, but in the latter two's case there's a lot of prog and prog-DM that feels so lifeless, mathematical, uninspired. It never clicks for me like other people.

Primal Scream (sound phoney with derivative lazy vocals from a terrible frontman)

Fair question. Take back most what I said, and I'll whittle my list down to Burzum, Opeth, Dream Theater, & the National.
Saying this as someone who WANTS to like these bands -- has listened to multiples of their albums, but didn't "get" it. |

jrlikestodance
10.29.24 | "Again, are these lists simply popular bands that youz don't like, or is their popularity genuinely beyond your comprehension?"
I think this question is kind of nuanced. For example, I think Daft Punk's influence on modern music is undeniable but I do not understand how they reached those commercial heights off solely their music (visuals/marketing could play a role). I am not fully engulfed in the "hype" but understand what I dislike about them other people may love.
Also Coldplay blows [2] |

Focusing on the music only (because fuck the guy otherwise) but the dude has almost single handedly shifted paradigms in mainstream hip hop not once but twice. Say whatever else you will about the guy but that is huge
"Rush"

10.31.24 | Sublime's kind of an easy punching bag for Sputnik, but the hype for them outside of 'music nerd crowds' is kinda obvious
They take a lot of the 3rd-wave ska punk craze and bring it to people who don't really care about ska by mixing it with alternative rock, reggae, and hip hop. Bradley Nowell's lyrics are often very personal, direct, biographical, and troubled while also being catchy
Their 2nd album is a fucking disaster though lol |

BAT
11.03.24 | i didn't think much of led zepp as a teen but they've grown on me quite a bit, my hot take on them is they aren't a great 'album band.' they have quite a lot of bangers buut throwing on any of their albums theres at least like 4skips unless your a diehard. excellent compilation band though annnd those 'how the west was won' live albums are pretty amazing.
same applies to rolling stones i feel like all you really need is the hot rocks comp.
as far as like popular mainstream stuff goes : i can understand mcr, to a lesser extent i can understand fall out boy fans... i cannot fathom why anyone would willingly listen to panic at the disco. 30 secs to mars also has those occasional fans that'd be like 'the first two albums are actually pretty amazing and well done' annnd nah i'm really not hearing it |
EphemeralEternity
11.03.24 | Coldplay aren’t critically acclaimed beyond their first 2 but I have to mention them because besides one or two songs their music actively pisses me off. Something about Chris martins voice gives it this almost condescending feel. It puts me to sleep and makes me irate simultaneously
Most Sufjan Stevens bores me although I can appreciate his artistry and Illinois is a solid album
And every Beatles song I’ve ever heard bar one or two bore me but I respect their innovation

EphemeralEternity
11.04.24 | 95% of modern metalcore is overproduced soulless wankery
It lots it’s core and became emotionless metal where the intended emotional parts - clean vocals, clean guitar melodies - feel very forced (they did in a lot of older music as well but it wasn’t as bad)
Theres some cool musicianship but that’s about it.
I thought it would shift back after the djent era but it hasn’t really.
