I meant to say that instead of bumping would have to include "Careless Whisper" and "Sex and Candy
I don't care about "sex and candy"

BREAD ....Everything I Own....and all covers of it. In fact, NO Bread is really worth anything. I love oldies but Bread HAS NO REDEEMING VALUE AT ALL.

I used to love 'This Is Love' but I'm guessing it probably is quite dull.
I find a lot of emo and metalcore of the last ten years boring just because it's so interchangeable. Bands such as Athlete, Snow Patrol and Coldplay are bordering more on offensive but are still pretty fucking boring.
I wonder if anyone finds minimal house/techno/electronica or ambient music boring...

My gf and I - both completely out of the "indie" loop - recently decided we'd listen to the new National album to see what all the fuss was about. I downloaded it and put it on my iPod and we tried listening to it in the car - AND WE KEPT FORGETTING THAT IT WAS ON. We'd listen for a few minutes, then get distracted by something, start talking, and then be all "shit, let's go back, we just missed like three songs," and we'd go back, and the same thing would happen.
That's far worse a fate than hearing "Lady In Red" and demanding it be turned off immediately (which I have done). Who was it that said the opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference?
"No Return" is madness, that song rules. "If...If I could see / just...how lonely MY LIFE would be / if yooooou...passed me by..."

Indeed. Lady In Red is Abu Ghraib torture. The National is... what exactly? I've heard three albums by them and seen them live three times and I couldn't tell you a single thing about them...

this happens to me with a lot of albums, not just indie ones. and yeah, it's partially true with this new nat'l album, but i have to exclude bloodbuzz ohio from that assessment. that song's a compelling, memorable monster.

most boring songs fron bands who arent boring:

not sure what the point of the music in the car thing was, I lose focus on music in the car all the time, has to do with the fact that I dunno, YOU'RE DRIVING and stuff.
― plate of dinosaurs (San Te), Sunday, 15 August 2010 16:55 (thirteen years ago) link
In some ways I think the car is the ideal place to experience an album for the first time. Home is where I'm distracted.
When we listened o the new Swans album on the same trip, we both just shit right the fuck up and let it play. Then we wanted to hear it again.
― If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Sunday, 15 August 2010 18:06 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean yea I get distracted at home too but I can't listen to really involved things like progressive rock in the car cuz I miss too much due to concentrating on the road.

"Solo Dolo" from the Kid Cudi album, mostly because it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOW.

Anything from Roddy 'Idlewild' Woomble's solo album. Utterly dreary earnest folk rock, about as charismatic as a piece of toast. Was subjected to this in Artisan Roast, Glasgow. Nice coffee, but sort your music out!

Foreigner - "I want to know what love is"
Mike & The Mechanics - "The Living Years"
Whitney Houston - "One moment in time", "Didn't we almost have it all"
Nelly & Kelly - "Dilemma"
Uncle Kracker - "Drift Away"
― LeRooLeRoo, Monday, 16 August 2010 22:38 (thirteen years ago) link
LeRooLeRoo has the first list I largely agree with (except for "Dilemma", not a huge fan of the song but I can think of much worse). btw ILX is going to eviscerate you for that one.

yes it is although I <3 George Michael in general. well, the Faith album mostly (though Listen Without Prejudice had many high poitns too).
― plate of dinosaurs (San Te), Monday, 16 August 2010 22:43 (thirteen years ago) link
I disagree with your selection. The song you consider to be boring is in actuality quite exciting. Conversely, whenever I think of boring songs, your favorite instantly springs to mind.

Eviscerate away ILX! I just think it does nothing and goes nowhere, therefore is pretty boring. The melody in the chorus especially is very basic, repetitive and uninteresting.

Anything by the Goo Goo Dolls or any other 90s alternative-lite act.
― daavid, Tuesday, 17 August 2010 02:02 (thirteen years ago) link
I was actually thinking of a specific song by them, but it's so boring I can't even remember the title. You all probably know which one I'm talking about.
― daavid, Tuesday, 17 August 2010 02:04 (thirteen years ago) link
erm, the Goo Goo Dolls weren't some alternative-lite act until Dizzy Up the Girl, they were actually a very catchy power pop act for many years...especially on Hold Me Up, Jed, and A Boy Named Goo.

Wow, I'm way surprised "Careless Whisper" is so widely considered classic. It just sounds unbelievably cheesy to me. I just think of, like, two people massaging each other in a candle-lit hot tub with rose petals all around and a Barbara Walters glow. In some Lifetime movie in 1995
