SONGS YOU LOVE (by artists you hate)

The Bloodhound Gang - "Your Only Friends are Make-Believe"

YES! Me too!

I usually can't stand Sleater-Kinney, but "You're No Rock'N'Roll Fun" is sheer brilliance.

Another vote for Summer of 69, too.

Also: Keep on Dancing or whatever by No Doubt, sounds like some German electro from two years ago. Quality. And the second single from Jimmy Eat World's new album, that's pretty neat too.

Unlike some of you I have been gifted with an inborn hatred for the voices of Bryan Adams and Phil Collns, helping me to at least preserve that portion of my hipness no matter what.

There's probably other artists I'm forgetting.

"Take You On A Cruise" - Interpol
"Any Day Now" - Elbow
"Two Step" - Dave Matthews Band
"Maps" - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
"Moonchild" - M83
"All We Have Is Now" - The Flaming Lips
"Disarm" - Smashing Pumpkins
"Cliquot" - Beirut
"Moya" & "The Dead Flag Blues" - Godspeed You Black Emperor!
"Girls" - Death In Vegas
"Salt" - Mugison
"Dust in the Wind" - Kansas

I feel awful saying this but seriously, that Interpol song is so tiny and mournful, lost in the wind.

forgot this thread! at some point i should also have mentioned Malibu by Hole. i guess Corgan is partially the reason why that stands apart, but then i'm pretty indifferent to most of the Pumpkins stuff too, so there it still is.

lol @ "moonchild" by m83. that song has probably the most unintentionally hilarious monologue i've ever heard.

Foreigner-double vision

I'll take Foreigner - "I Want to Know What Love Is," and admit a little fondness for "Feels Like the First Time"

Pet Shop Boys - "What Have I Done to Deserve This" (of course, they brought in a ringer I am incapable of hating)

dexy's midnight runners - come on eileen
shakermaker - oasis (i had a brief oasis infatuation lasting about a month in which i was impressed by liam's cool charm and raunchy voice; until i stopped listening to them obsessively and finally realized how utterly fucking boring they actually are)

The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?
Eminem - My Name Is
Radiohead - Just
Coldplay - Yellow
Madonna - Holiday

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.

otm

Santeria

xxp but yeah also, addendum to this:

but written by Artist I Love Mike Campbell so.

the morning by weeknd

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

WEEZER - EL SCORCHO

I don’t actually hate them but this is the only song by them that makes me want to sing my lungs out, I didn’t love any song by them beforehand but I think I started loving this one by proxy of Allo Darlin’s “kiss your lips” which hijacks the chorus from Scorcho in a really fun way.

'Ramblin' Gamblin' Man' is a hot, hot track.

Have you heard “east side story”?

Nah, I hadn't heard anything else that made me think listening to one minute more of Seger was a good use of my time. But I'll check it out.

do it!!!

And while you're at it, check out "2+2=?"

Jackson Browne - These Days

(more indifference than hate, and it's Nico's version that I love)

Drake - The Motto
