― Michael J McGonigal (mike mcgonigal), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:17 (twenty years ago)

Fuck Eno.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:29 (twenty years ago)

Ok, we're down to CCR now

― TRG (TRG), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:35 (twenty years ago)

enjoy it while it lasts.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:36 (twenty years ago)

wait a second, i like Eno ok. I was just overcome by the urge to say Fuck Eno! It's fun. FUCK ENO!

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:39 (twenty years ago)

Johnny Cash
James Brown
Velvet Underground
Broken Social Scene--just kidding

― kornrulez6969 (TCBeing), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:43 (twenty years ago)

I do have to admit, though I'm not really a fan, that it's hard to hate Bob Marley.

Hate Bob Marley fans? There's nothing easier....

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:45 (twenty years ago)

All right, so we're back to Eno and CCR.

And yeah, I've never meant anyone who doesn't like Cash.

― TRG (TRG), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:45 (twenty years ago)

Re Marley, scroll up to June 27

― TRG (TRG), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:47 (twenty years ago)

Eno is tainted by Bono.
Disqualified!

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

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

― don't start a RYE-OTT! (plsmith), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:51 (twenty years ago)

M.I.A.?

(Jumps in getaway car!)

― TRG (TRG), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:56 (twenty years ago)

has somebody mentioned the Talking Heads?

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

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

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:12 (twenty years ago)

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

― don't start a RYE-OTT! (plsmith), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:15 (twenty years ago)

ha ha!

― jsoulja (jsoulja), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:17 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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.

― don't start a RYE-OTT! (plsmith), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:22 (twenty years ago)

CONTRARIAN

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

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 (twenty years ago)

Is it too early to pronounce CCR the winner?

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

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 (twenty years ago)

Run! I'm right behind ya!

xpost

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

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

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

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

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

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 (twenty years ago)

Guys, guys, guys- this is already settled.

David Bowie won this thread.

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

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 (twenty years ago)

check out may27th, j.

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

or don't! lalalalala

― oops (Oops), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:07 (twenty years ago)

Love is more than the lack of hate

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

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

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

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

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

The Faders

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

doesn't everyone love Al Green?

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

also, fuck a fogerty in the eye and fuck ccr

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

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

You want the bands that no one knows thread

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

ha ha

someone suggested Wu-Tang to me today

hmmmm

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

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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

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

No, Tyrannosaurus Rex, surely?

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

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 (twenty years ago)

(That was to J.D.)
