Eno is tainted by Bono.
Disqualified!

― Michael J McGonigal (mike mcgonigal), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:48 (eighteen years ago) link

whatever - he was barely even a performing musician when he was producing u2.

M.I.A.?

(Jumps in getaway car!)

has somebody mentioned the Talking Heads?

― kornrulez6969 (TCBeing), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:08 (eighteen years ago) link

There be lots of contrarian, irascible sonsabitches on this board, so I find the premise of this thread quixotic in the extreme.

SOMEbody got a word-of-the-day calendar this christmas!!!

ha ha!

Wow- I never knew Lee Perry hates on Bob Marley. That does it for me- I gotta go with Lee Perry....

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:18 (eighteen years ago) link

If I had to pick one, though, my money is on Johnny Cash. Truly, who has the heart to hate on the dead guy?

xpost- phear my word powah

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:19 (eighteen years ago) link

lee perry may hate on bob marley, but he also produced my favorite BM&W song, "mr brown," and he also burned his own studio down.

im not saying he's not awesome, but he probably says a lot of things.

― don't start a RYE-OTT! (plsmith), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:21 (eighteen years ago) link

my money is on Johnny Cash

while i certainly dont hate cash, i am SO SICK of hearing about him right now (flashback to 2004's ray charles adulation/backlash), ill veto him.

CONTRARIAN

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:23 (eighteen years ago) link

i explained it carefully! i like a lot of his stuff, but i just cant get motivated to support this guy when all of his mostly-same sounding (usually good, sometimes really great) music has saturated american popular culture for like 2 months.

― don't start a RYE-OTT! (plsmith), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Is it too early to pronounce CCR the winner?

― TRG (TRG), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:27 (eighteen years ago) link

im getting out of here! CCR wins in my mind!

Stand up to the crowd! Who cares what they think. If you like something, it shouldn't matter whether everyone else does or not. Who is more of a creature of the crowd: the one who sheepishly follows the crowd taste, or the one who always has a knee-jerk reaction against it?

xpost: i'll go along with ccr

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Run! I'm right behind ya!

― TRG (TRG), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:30 (eighteen years ago) link

There will never be a winner. Shangri-Las still comfortably loved.

― Billy Pilgrim (Billy Pilgrim), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:30 (eighteen years ago) link

hey guys, I don't like rock but I like CCR!

― oops (Oops), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:32 (eighteen years ago) link

shit i should've used all caps so they might've heard me as they were fleeing.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Guys, guys, guys- this is already settled.

David Bowie won this thread.

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:35 (eighteen years ago) link

I like David Bowie. I like some of his songs a lot. But to say that I love him seems like a stretch; however, for the sake of not being contrarian, I'm willing to let it pass.

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:37 (eighteen years ago) link

check out may27th, j.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:04 (eighteen years ago) link

or don't! lalalalala

Love is more than the lack of hate

― GET EQUIPPED WITH BUBBLE LEAD (ex machina), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:10 (eighteen years ago) link

The lack of advocates for that band that will "change your life" is suprising.

― mox twelve (Mox twleve), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:22 (eighteen years ago) link

but laughing gnome aside, david bowie is shite. he wins nowt.

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Friday, 6 January 2006 23:17 (eighteen years ago) link

The Faders

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 6 January 2006 23:20 (eighteen years ago) link

doesn't everyone love Al Green?

― gear (gear), Friday, 6 January 2006 23:22 (eighteen years ago) link

also, fuck a fogerty in the eye and fuck ccr

― gear (gear), Friday, 6 January 2006 23:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Bowie has kind of survived these threads, hasn't he? Is there anyone on ILM who does not like Bowie?
-- Geir Hongro (geirhon...), May 27th, 2005.

Somebody called?
-- Marcello Carlin (marcellocarli...), May 27th, 2005.

This was not a qualifying response then, and it isn't now.

Also, this next comment is too late:

but laughing gnome aside, david bowie is shite. he wins nowt.
-- frenchbloke (frenchblok...), January 6th, 2006.

Sorry, Frenchie- too late. We already have a winner. The door prize is the sight of it slamming in your face...

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Friday, 6 January 2006 23:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Woah woah hang on, surely it's not too late for me to shoot down CCR? Shoot shoot, there.

New nominee (I have no illusion that there will not be loads of haters, but I need them to SPEAK UP so I can KNOW MINE ENEMIES): Kristin Hersh

― The Vintner's Lipogram (OleM), Saturday, 7 January 2006 00:42 (eighteen years ago) link

You want the bands that no one knows thread

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 7 January 2006 00:46 (eighteen years ago) link

ha ha

someone suggested Wu-Tang to me today

hmmmm

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Saturday, 7 January 2006 00:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Didn't anyone ever mention Fugazi?

I think there's a case against, but I do remember everyone in college loving them....

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Saturday, 7 January 2006 00:50 (eighteen years ago) link

oops, that is a reasonably good point. I guess I thought "that nobody hates" rather than "that everyone likes". On the other hand, the latter premise means you'd have to ensure every radioless peasant in the highlands of Laos likes them as well, so...

― The Vintner's Lipogram (OleM), Saturday, 7 January 2006 01:05 (eighteen years ago) link

in an ideal ilm, the answer would be t rex.

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Saturday, 7 January 2006 01:53 (eighteen years ago) link

No, Tyrannosaurus Rex, surely?

― Guilty Boksen (Bro_Danielson), Saturday, 7 January 2006 01:55 (eighteen years ago) link

But then the ideal ilm would have to annihilate the originator of ilm itself (see upthread), thus creating a existence-nonexistence vortex only overcomable by a Kelly Osbourne/Kev Hopper duet.

― The Vintner's Lipogram (OleM), Saturday, 7 January 2006 01:57 (eighteen years ago) link

(That was to J.D.)

― The Vintner's Lipogram (OleM), Saturday, 7 January 2006 01:58 (eighteen years ago) link

MOZART, DAMMIT!!!!!!

Mozart can be irritatingly chippy sometimes...I nominate BEETHOVEN, if composers are included. muhwhaha.

If composers aren'ts allowed I'll go with Lee Perry or T.Rex. mm.

― sonore (sonore), Saturday, 7 January 2006 01:58 (eighteen years ago) link

T Rex is a great answer. My mind is boggling too much at people not loving Johnny Cash for spurious reasons.

I think Curt1s is being wilfully obstreperous about Blondie. I want to win one of these threads one day and that is the best suggestion I think I've ever made.

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Hardly much of a fan of T.Rex. "Get It On" is OK, and I think that's it, basically. Slade were a lot better.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:06 (eighteen years ago) link

someone suggested Wu-Tang to me today

Unsurprisingly, you can count me out regarding Wu-Tang Clan. :)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Surely everyone loves at least one Johnny Cash track? Folsom Prison, Hurt? I Walk the Line?

Ditto Blondie?

(your up late, ailsa!)

OTM with Slade, Geir.

― Guilty Boksen (Bro_Danielson), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyone who dislike Kylie Minogue here?

I would based on her early material, but her last two albums have been great.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:09 (eighteen years ago) link

oh geir

― gear (gear), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:11 (eighteen years ago) link

i mean i like her, but we both know the answer to your question

― gear (gear), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:12 (eighteen years ago) link

I wouldn't say I love Johnny Cash or Blondie. Probably even further from hatred though.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Forget Kylie (Some great pop in the last few years, but some pretty awful stuff circa 'Locomotion' days)

Concentrate on Slade. Even their HM/ Heavy Rock period was pretty good.
