Down With The Evil Pop Music

First time out of the vault
What is all your favorite type of music, and if you like pop music, you can just fuck off. Pop music was made by the Communists to destroy the world of REAL music. Some of the shit they came out with was Britney Spears (only watch her music videos on mute), Shikira (wear ear muffs), and all those damn boybands who shold all be shot, or better yet, dip them in the VAT's and turn them into mutated monsters and then no one will by there albums, leading to the fall in the evils of pop music. We must start a rebellion aganist the evils of pop music. Anyway, the music I like to listen to is old rock'n'roll (the way it was meant to be) and old 1970's heavy metal. My top five band's are below with one of the most famous songs in brakets.

1. Dire Straits (Money For Nothing)
2. Eric Clapton (Layla)
3. Lynyrd Skynyrd (Free Bird)
4. Santana (Smooth)
5. Guns N' Roses (Sweet Child O' Mine)

LETS ALL DESTROY THE EVILS OF POP MUSIC (AS WELL AS RAP MUSIC)
 
Please don't use CAPS in headline/subject field, I've fixed it now.

As to music, I'm an all-eater. Trance, Dance, Punk, Metal, Rap you name it. But my favorite bands are:
-Kiss
-Tool
etc..etc...
 
My tastes tend to hop around a bit;

Main interest/classic rock: Rolling Stones, Neil Yong (& Crazy Horse), CSNY, U2, CCR, Eric Clapton, Santana...Even Rush

Classical soundtrack composers: Basil Poledouris, Ennio Morricone, Carmine Coppola, Nino Rota

Classic composers: Bach, Beethoven, Tschaikovsky, Shostakovich, Liszt, Grieg, Ravel....The list goes on and on, it just doesn't include Strauss. I hate Strauss.

Well, and more stuff...
 
How the hell can you hate Strauss, he was the best of all the classical composers. I have a 12" record from 1959 with Strauss' work on it, and I listen to it often. "Blue Danube" was the best of all his work.
 
*shudders*

I hate the Blue Danube "An der Schone Blaue Donau" more than any other classical composition.

Don't ask me why, I don't have any rational reasons for it. Musically, Joseph's on par with other composers, and the other two Strausses aren't terrible either, but I still hate the entire family, they annoy me.

And even objectively, Strauss can't match up to Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven, Tschaikowsky, Mendellsohn-Bartholdy or Mussorgsky (well, arguably Mussorgsky, but that's the only one).

I listen to pop music, so you just fuck off. There are two types of people I particulary dislike - those who passionately love pop music and those who passionately hate pop music.
 
what do you consider pop music? I like the temptations, they could be considered pop. i also like Michael Jackson (mostly the songs he did when he was still black) the so called 'king of pop'. i will admit though that when i see an nsync video on MTV i do tend to get a little nausous
 
What I consider as "pop music" would be any manufactured band, all that modern"new metal" shite (i.e. Avril Lavigne, Sum 41, etc.), boybands, girlbands, and any band who don't play ANY musical instruments. Also, if you ever notice, most modern pop music has the same basic lyrics, all that love shite.
 
Prez: Jackson's pop, but I think the Temptations still fall under soul, in a weird transient way.

Jazz; I do have to agree with APTYP in that just hating pop (period) is kind of stupid. And no, you're not allowed to redifine "pop", pop is a set and accepted musical style including people like Michael Jackson, Madonna, etc. etc.

Though not popular rock bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, etc...And some would argue Blink182 or Sumwhatever.

I agree modern mainstream music does have a tendency towards the bad, but I don't irrationally hate all of it. I can understand people liking it, heck, I can listen to it, just not for long, as it gets boring real quick...
 
Unlike most youths, I listen to more poetically inclined rock music and some hard rock with a message to it. I suppose you can call that alternative. I like System Of A Down because of their passion (Nuguns and Deer Dance reminds me of the travesty of the Armenian Genocide) and their recent "peace protest" against the war, though somewhat commercialized, still took some bravery (considering what happened to the Dixie Chicks for their Bush bashing). I liked Rage Against The Machine because it they echoed angst amidst grooves though sometimes the lyrics are so obscure, its hard to understand what exactly their "rage" is and what exactly the "machine" is. Nevertheless, Zack de la Roche had unique vocals and Tom Morello's got the easy bass voice. Audioslave, their descendant minus de la Roche, is equally good and not as political; rather, speaking of the ideals such as the open road, burning, living, etc. I used to listen to Linkin Park, but not avidly because I felt that music with such a large audience lost some of its signifigance (plus, I didn't want to seem like a poser). Their new CD, Meteora, sounds almost like Hybrid Theory and I think they use the same exact beats and ideals. I'd like to see them do something fresh (their remix was just a cop out). The only band that I follow regularly is Everclear because that's about the first group that I started listening too. Its good for those sentimental romantics like me. Finally, I'm always listening to old Beetles song and I've got John Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance" playing almost everyday.
 
Great taste Gunslinger and thanks for making me feel young again :P

But I forgot some bands of course, Bad Religion, Jokke (a norwegian band), SOAD (of course, forgot those), Metallica, Disturbed...oh the list goes on..I've got quite a cd collection (about 700 original cd's).

And...this is a little..erm..how shall I put this, sexual attraction I have to Christina Aguilera. Her latest album was incredible good, she's a good singer.. and definitly worth a look 8)
 
hey

I generally don't listen to music, and if I do it's always on the radio. It's not that I don't like it, it's just I dont take it seriously like other people. Plus most the songs I listen to on the radio I can't understand what their trying to say, so I just end up listening to the beats.
 
I like anything by Rush.

When I'm not listening to Rush, I tend to be listening to Dark Tranquillity, and Dream Theater.

Additionally, I like a lot of other music. Jim Croce, Arlo Guthrie, Indigo Girls, Louis Armstrong (and not just from the FO2 intro), Boston, GWAR, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Ugly Kid Joe, etc...

I like Country music also. Pretty much anything except Rap, pop, opera and new "R&B"...

Did you catch their last album?

Wheeehew, that was bad.

That's just silly. Their music didn't change when more people listened to it.

So much good music can be missed if you're completely against the mainstream.

I got that impression myself. Reanimation was just rediculous.

Meh, she's a sexy girl indeed, and a good singer. Better looks, better attitude and better voice than Spears.

Though when she kicked off with "Genie in a Bottle" she showed more promise than ending up with Redman in the mind-bogglingly bad song "Dirrty"

Modern popular music's funny that way. There's stuff like Radiohead and Coldplay on one side that make songs so good that you feel like your head's about to blow off, and then on the other hands you have stuff like "Busta Rhymes ft. Maria Carey" and "Dirrty by Christina Aguilera" and you wonder how the hell that could ever have been released.

(note: I keep saying modern popular music, not only to prevent myself from being killed by metalheads, but also to signify some great musical styles still continue; like jazz with Miles Davis or Steve Coleman (and his Five Elements))

What, I like Dirrty. At first the song sounded lame and I didn't like it, the more it got played I realized it was a great party song. Moves the crowd!
 
Pop music destroyed anything that was any good with REAL music. In the 1950's, there was the birth of Rock'n'Roll, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were out in the the 1960's, in the the 1970's, there was more Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Queen, British Punk Rock, and my favorite band, Dire Straits in 1978. In the 1980's, things fell apart with all that electronic shit, like Gary Newman and New Order. And from the 1990's up to now, mainly all what we have is non-instrumental msuc and so-called new metal. You look at the likes of Nsync or Backstreet Boys and all of the crap, they have no musical talent, they can't play instruments, and yet they still make millions of Euro (or Dollars) from this. Then there is these American Idol, Pop Idol, Idol Pop, Pop Pop, American Pop, and all of this sort of crap. Money is poured into these showes so that a bunch of karaoke singers can make it to number one in the chatds, make millions, then dissappear into nothing. This wasted money should be put into good rock bands so that someone with talent can get somewhere. But what I cannot understand is the fact that the general public actually by this manufactured crap. Over here in Ireland, there is this dickhead called Louis Walsh, who organizes these Pop Idol showes, and he said once that a boy or girl band who write there own music is on a downhill sprial. You can have your own opion on this, but I think music today is bollocks.
 
Rage against the machine, Linkin Park, Metallica, Rhapsody, Luca Turilli, Blind Guardian, Blink 182, Papa Roach, Nickelback, Dream Theater, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Royksopp, Korn, etc....These are metal (some different types), punk, rock. I also like some techno and trance. There's some good rap, but i don't listen much to it.
Most pop-music is just to make money; Recycled texts about love written by a songwriter and then played on the radio till you crush it.

ps almost forgot iron maiden...And Tungtvann (Norwegian rap group rapping in their dialect...), Jokke(Norwegian) also a bit good
