ok this one just makes me think of all the dudes that i was in jazz band with in lol HS and how they all looked up to and aspired to be like turtle-necked or tie-and-shirt-same-color pasty white jazz d-bags when they grew up
maynard ferguson stans, all of them

"iron maiden. swans."
swans fans have great taste! i was on a swans e-mail list for years and the people there were really well-rounded and very curious listeners. yeah, a bunch of them liked mogwai and godspeed too much, but lots of people did back then.
and maiden fans just like lots of metal! they are the salt of the earth, for real.
if you had said metallica and nine inch nails, i would have gone along with that. (metallica being a once good band)
― scott seward, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 19:35 (seventeen years ago)
(and nine inch nails being a once listenable band, i guess...)
― scott seward, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 19:36 (seventeen years ago)
wait, that other thread gave me a good idea:
DEAD CAN DANCE
(i love dcd, but i am totally scared of their newage wikkawikka fan-base in the states)
― scott seward, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 19:41 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah but the people who like Metallica when they were good generally have good taste in music.
No comment on Nine Inch Nails.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 19:43 (seventeen years ago)
Newage wikkawikka fan-base is actually pretty harmless. More pertinent to this discussion is that those DCD influenced darkwave bands (Projekt's marketing term, not mine). A few, like Sopor Aeternus and Elend have put out some good records, but there's a huge amount of abysmal out-of-tune goth girl w/ one-synth boyfriend material that files under this rubric.

Perhaps this is misguided, but I imagine that most Tom Petty fans are boring as fuck.
― Pain don't hurt. (Pillbox), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 20:11 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah, if someone says to me Tom Petty is one of their fave artists...

How dare you be like that about my mother!
― claudestock carpentinieri (country matters), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 21:42 (seventeen years ago)
franky, there are probably worse things to say about your mother.
― ian, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 21:46 (seventeen years ago)
It wasn't genuine indignation, dude.
Smashing Pumpkins, anyone?
― REMOVE THEIR EARS (country matters), Wednesday, 31 December 2008 21:59 (seventeen years ago)
The thread specifies good bands.
― Alex in SF, Wednesday, 31 December 2008 22:09 (seventeen years ago)
FWIW, I proudly rep for Petty. But I also know that every '89 white Dodge Caravan with faux-wood paneling came pre-equipped with a copy of Full Moon Fever.

"Never thought of Black Sabbath as one of these. Liking them almost seems to have nothing to do with taste. Like have you heard Black Sabbath. I mean duh. You like Black Sabbath."
OTM. This is the same reason that I didn't list Slayer.

Also M.I.A although those who have the worst tastes tend to write her off.

I don't know anybody else that likes the kind of music I like, so I have nothing to contribute to this thread.

RHCP are a good band? this is kind of a dumb thread

RHCP do suck, though.

i guess deftones typify this for me, although i still have a hard time thinking of them as a "good band". I think in the UK their following is quite different from in the US.
― akm, Thursday, 1 January 2009 20:44 (seventeen years ago)
MGs I'm afraid
― rip van wanko, Wednesday, 11 October 2017 18:09 (eight years ago)
What, like Isaac Hayes? Aretha Franklin? Sam & Dave?

Radiohead, obviously. So many people i've known rep for them above all bands
