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...

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

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!!!!!!

-- Rahul Kamath (rp...), September 19th, 2002 8:59 PM. (Rahul Kamath

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.

― Guilty Boksen (Bro_Danielson), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I am pretty sure there is someone here who is not at all into Slade. I love them though. Even the 80s stuff.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:15 (eighteen years ago) link

How can anyone not love a band who writes a song about an escaped convict who runs to his wife for a night of passionate love and calls the song "Nut bolts and screws"?

― Guilty Boksen (Bro_Danielson), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:25 (eighteen years ago) link

everyone (vaguely) likes blondie.

slade did their best song in the 80's. what was it called again? something about bringing the house down?

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:29 (eighteen years ago) link

'We'll Bring The House Down' - superb live, if slightly deafening.

― Guilty Boksen (Bro_Danielson), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:32 (eighteen years ago) link

If Bowie makes it by that jsoulja-imposed deadline, then Eno makes it by the same criteria GODDAMNIT.

Slade roxx (based on mp3's; never heard an album). I wasn't aware that they had any periods other than the hard rock period.

― Sundar (sundar), Saturday, 7 January 2006 02:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Sundar's actually right on this- Eno got a mention on Sept. 19, 2002, without a slam.

David Bowie and Brian Eno share the title!

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Saturday, 7 January 2006 08:33 (eighteen years ago) link

how bout...

louis armstrong
louis prima
chuck berry
little richard
hank williams
prince (even geir likes him, right?)
shangri-las (still not shot down three years later and therefore the official WINNER OF THREAD)

― J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Saturday, 7 January 2006 08:52 (eighteen years ago) link

The Al Green namedrop has me thinking that Otis Redding and Aretha Frankiln might be good candidates. Have they been mentioned yet?

― QuantumNoise (Justin Farrar), Saturday, 7 January 2006 09:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Dave Q has made near-blasphemous (but hilarious) anti-Otis remarks. And, sorry, but I've never much cared for Aretha, aside from "I Never Loved A Man" and "Freeway Of Love". Don't hate her, but I can easily do without.

Didn't anyone ever mention Fugazi?
I think there's a case against, but I do remember everyone in college loving them....

-- jsoulja

Glad I didn't attend that particular college! Fugazi are disqualified.

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Saturday, 7 January 2006 10:32 (eighteen years ago) link

two months pass...

Pet Shop Boys?
Specials?

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 00:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Shut up.

― gbx (skowly), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 00:40 (eighteen years ago) link

The answer has gotta be Prince, right? I've never heard anyone say they hate Prince.

― darin (darin), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 01:35 (eighteen years ago) link

My dad thought Prince was a gag. Like Spinal Tap.

― Cunga (Cunga), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 01:59 (eighteen years ago) link

do people actively dislike the monkees?

― powpowpow, Wednesday, 15 March 2006 02:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Hmm, a three and a half year old thread and no mention of Neil Young. Okay, there's bound to be someone, but he's a lot better candidate than, say, 'f***ing Groove Armada' (as they're known chez Avery).

― avery keen-gardner (avery keen-gardner), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 02:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I was gonna say Neil Young. But I got distracted.

― gbx (skowly), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 03:12 (eighteen years ago) link

i think even people who don't like Prince's music that much still think he's classic, cuz he's absolutely batshit crazy.

― timmy tannin (pompous), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 03:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought someone was going to say Throbbing Gristle apropos of the "20 Jazz Funk Greats" thread.

― regular roundups (Dave M), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 03:31 (eighteen years ago) link

i was going to, but you got here first.

in reality, i think everyone likes the yardbirds, right?

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 03:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Honestly, I think Prince is a great answer. Other good ones have included James Brown, Michael Jackson, CCR, Bowie, and The Beatles.

― regular roundups (Dave M), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 03:36 (eighteen years ago) link

i do not like prince, michael jackson or bowie.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 03:41 (eighteen years ago) link

R. Kelly?
Chuck Berry seconded...

― Tape Store (Tape Store), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 03:59 (eighteen years ago) link

>> doesn't everyone love Al Green?
>> gear

Yes!

― micarl (micarl), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 04:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Ian, wow! I've gotten so much love from those up to this point. Those guys really give it back to you, if you know what I mean.

xpost

― regular roundups (Dave M), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 04:24 (eighteen years ago) link

i will go for Al Green as a good choice.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 04:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I like Al Green.

― gbx (skowly), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 04:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Letta Mbulu?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 04:55 (eighteen years ago) link

1. Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Shangri-Las? Only a heartless cretin could possibly dislike them. [heartless cretin to thread]

2. I say we take an official poll and have some helpful nerd-type make some pie charts.

3. No beef with Green.

― O-Keigh, Wednesday, 15 March 2006 05:18 (eighteen years ago) link

who doesn't love THE METERS or WIRE ('77-'79 era) ?

― Paul (scifisoul), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 05:38 (eighteen years ago) link
