SONGS YOU LOVE (by artists you hate)

Kraftwerk - Trans Euro Express (this is good but computer music has no soul)

ABBA - Dancing Queen (mindless pop for idiots but this is a guilty pleasure)

Reelin' In The Years - Steely Dan (slick studio craftsmanship < raw emotion of real rock and roll)

Sara - Fleetwood Mac (the epitome of empty cocaine fueled narcisissm)

kornrulez why are you so mean

4'39'' by John Cage. Though I have never listened to it (kind of difficult to hear it) and I probably got the title wrong. But that's probably the best he has ever done. Silence is sexy sometimes.

it's 4'33"

no wonder he hasn't heard it!

I'm just messing around

dexy's midnight runners - come on eileen

Really? This is one of the worst Dexy's songs. Have you actually ever listened to Searching for the Young Soul Rebels?

I pretty much dislike the Rolling Stones but I like "Miss You".

i don't really really hate him the way i might've when i was younger but i have listened to "dont ask me why" by billy joel like 18 times since that 80s joel poll. in terms of hugest gulf between how i feel about one song by an act vs every other song by that act winner is definitely "boys of summer" by don henley.

wasn't "malibu" pretty much straight courtney (i remember her mentioning it in an interview w/ stevie nicks like a year or so beforehand)? i thought corgan's fingerprints were all over "celebrity skin"?

Don Henley- The Boys of Summer

50 Cent- In Da Club

i'm gradually growing more and more distant from merriweather-era animal collective. nothing has actually triggered this, but i seem to feel embarrassed whenever i listen to these guys.

malibu is on celebrity skin, no?

boys of summer for me too.

"The Black Parade" - My Chemical Romance
"In Da Club" - 50 Cent
"My Humps" - The Black Eyed Peas

boys of summer crushes this. but written by Artist I Love Mike Campbell so.

I like that Enya song that the Fugees sampled. Can't ever remember the title.

"Boadicea"

radiohead - "idioteque"

Kiss- Strutter

The Moody Blues - Question

Muse – Starlight

man this is one of those early ILM icebreaker type threads that's just full of baffling responses.

but yeah, this:

boys of summer crushes this.

Santeria

xxp but yeah also, addendum to this:

but written by Artist I Love Mike Campbell so.

man this is one of those early ILM icebreaker type threads that's just full of baffling responses.

my pick for "most baffling" is post #6 going hard on the enon hate. 2002 ilx was _weird_.

James Blunt - 1973

grounded - pavement

The 1975 - Love it if we made it

Ariana Grande - 'No Tears Left to Cry'

I hate Pitbull's style but love and have unashamedly danced to 'Como Yo Le Doy' and 'Across the World'.

billy Joel - I go to extremes

I don’t know if I actually hate billy Joel anymore though

My days of hating artists are behind me. It would be fairer to say that I don't much care for Ariana Grande but that I think 'No Tears Left to Cry' is an excellent song.

Likewise, I've never really connected with Michael Jackson's music but 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' is genius.

How about 'Songs you love (by artists you otherwise don't get)'?

"In Between Days" and "Boys Don't Cry."

The Beach Boys - 'God Only Knows'

Sheryl Crow, "If It Makes You Happy"

New Order - "Leave Me Alone"

Cliff Richard - "Wired for sound"

Nickelback - "Rockstar"

I also kind of like the "Hero" song with Josey Scott guy

guy

Giuseppe Verdi - Messa da Requiem

Jay Z- "Cashmere Thoughts"

John Adams - Violin Concerto

Billy Joel: My Life

Bruce Springsteen: Hungry Heart

Foo Fighters: Big Me

Smashing Pumpkins: 1979

U2: Stay (Faraway, So Close)

Oasis: Whatever

Foo Fighters is a good one. I'd go with 'Everlong'.

Cliff Richard - "Wired for sound"

Cliff has a small handful of late 1970s/early 1980s bangers. Devil Woman, We Don't Talk Anymore, Carrie, Some People . . .

A small handful is all it is, though.
