Ok i feel that it just so much negative stuff that is being said about artists that ye dislike so i think i would make a thread where you could all say POSITIVE things about artists you dont like very much! And please people be serious so dont write stuff like : They have quit making albums! I can scare people away with their music and stuff like that...try to be genuienly positivie! ok i'll start with King Crimson which i dont favour very much but i do admire that they always cared about the MUSIC and not getting into any musical trends in the 80's and also that they still could make very different music spanning over many genres!

| *grumbles* I'd better say something nice about Genesis then... I love the theatricality of their shows, and I have a great respect for Gabriel's showmanship, even if I don't think their music is up to much. |

I thought it was kind of cool that Can had first an African-American
singer (Malcolm Mooney) and then a Japanese one (Damo Suzuki) ...
surely both are a first for a relatively well-known prog group ... The stories about the relative instablity of both guys make me wonder about the Can dynamic ... ------------- "Death to Utopia!

There are many artists I dislike musically that get my applauses to be engaged in humanitarian or environmental causes. One example is Bono although I don't like him singing and U2 musical style.
P.S.: another thread could be "Negative things about artists you like" like Lennon & McCartney war that is very boring and still do not finish even 25 years after Lennon's death. I like both artists and feel angry about that stupid war. ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

So you've listened to every punk band ever, then? I hate it when people put down an entire genre like that, especially considering you probably haven't listened to very much punk at all. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Ty1020/">

Mick Hucknall of Simply Red... Good music taste: blues and jazz That's about it. Mariah Carey... Gets coverage on this forum... has a good voice I guess, not that I care one or the other for her or her songs. Robbie Williams... Got rejected by Fearne Cotton at Live8. Has a good stage presence. Pete Doherty... No, bad choice, can't think of a good thing to say about him. Bez from Happy Mondays... Played maracas. Justin Timberlake... I'm stuck again..., erm, no, no good things. -------------

Well, MARILLION got a lot of people into progressive rock, and many of
those people may have gone on to discover more pioneering, original and challenging bands. |

Yea, it's a matter of personal taste, I heard much of "classic" punk and can say that I hate it. Plus their attitude stinks and they put down and generalise prog much worse. Read http://punk77.co.uk/talkpunk/viewtopic.php?t=208 - this thread on a punk forum. Did they hear more prog than I heard punk? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

Dream Theater - may eventually spell 'theatre' correctly. Robbie Williams - will retire at some point in the next few decades. U2 - are probably quite nice if you get to know them. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

An ingenious topic. I always put down boring old Pink Floyd. But really, the wide-spread popularity of DSOTM had some kind of (minimally) positive effect on some bands music - bands that I do like. I see traces of DSOTM sequencing and segueways on Genesis The Lamb Lies Down Broadway. The "needles and pins" ending of "Broadway Melody [...]" and then its transition to "Cuckoo Coccoon" is just one example. I also think "The Waiting Room" is Genesis emulating a Floyd-y sound. I don't care for Pink Floyd music as a whole, but some of what they did was pioneering in some ways. ------------- LDL |

The good thing I can say about artists I don't like is... I think the only good thing that comes to mind is that they don't care about wether I like them or not. They don't even know about me. So, they keep recording many many things and I don't buy those things, and they keep not knowing about me, and then we're going to die and my foot is going to be on some weird flag of a weird country, and the population of that country will grow using hats, and placing fishtanks above the surface of the sea, so the fish inside can see the ocean, but will be forever separated from it.

| I'm not much for the neo-prog that came out in the eighties. Bands like Marillion don't do anything for me. I guess I'm greatful these bands kept the prog flag flying, though. So you could say I like this about a band such as Marillion. |

Stop linking to that stupid thread, please  . It didn't prove anything the first bajillion times and it still doesn't, except that there are lots of idiots in the world.Anyways, I know it's a matter of personal taste, but you can't possibly hate bands you haven't even heard of. That's just closed-mindedness any way you look at it. You probably can't even name any punk bands beyond The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, et al., so why bother saying you hate them? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Ty1020/">

Again, Phil Collins -
Call him what you like (and I frequently do...), but there's no doubt the man is a superb drummer; if Genesis ever do get back together, there's nobody I'd rather see behind the kit. Pallas - hmmm - OK (deep breath): although I hate their music, there's no doubt they're all good musicians, with good musical ideas. -------------

Maybe, you're right, but I don't think it holds much. DSOTM is a "different" type of album for PF, while TLLDOB music isn't much different (in composition) from previous album by Genesis. And then, as I said, maybe you're right - as long as there's just one year of difference between them. And them, IMHO, TLLDOB is *much* better than DSOTM. ------------- Semm che, semm che settà giò in del bar / a cercà l'universo nel bucèer del Cynar cosmonauti al tavolino cun la sigareta in bùca / che vemm a cambià el mund apena finissum la sambuca |
