Doctor B Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Tried to watch concert footage of Yes and could not...boring drivel. Thought about it and went through my collection of music. Maybe too old, maybe this stuff only listenable for short periods but along with Yes, found I rarely listen to The Who, Zeppelin, Jethro Tull,...a lot of stuff that was indispensible to me years ago. Find Plant and Daltrey mostly annoying. Yet, others seem timeless and still great- Allman Brothers, Dylan, Television. Any others experience this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

augustus westerberg Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 C'mon, the riff in Great White Buffalo is awesome! He is otherwise rather appaling though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 C'mon, the riff in Great White Buffalo is awesome! He is otherwise rather appaling though.There are riffs and songs here and there that I can still enjoy (like "Free For All", for one). But -- and it's not just the politics, although I'm sure those do figure, too -- the testosterone levels are enough to make me either puke or laugh my ass off. More-likely the former.

theashtraysays Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Dave Matthews Band. Still OK in small doses, and on some of the deeper cuts, but not the steady diet it once was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anthony Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 There is TON of 'classic rock' stuff I used to love, but now I find tedious, over-played and stale. Eagles, Beatles, Stones, Aerosmith, Eric Clapton, ... list goes on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 U2. As much as I loved them in high school (second only to REM), their music really hasn't kept its magic for me. Also Violent Femmes. Couldn't get enough in 9th or10th grade but now it's just irritating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kim Bodnia Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 U2. As much as I loved them in high school (second only to REM), their music really hasn't kept its magic for me. I think U2. Although the only album I still treasure is Zooropa, I don't think I'll ever get tired of Faraway so Close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The White Stripes I just skip them every time they come up on the iPod. 10 years ago, I couldn't get enough of them.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Wow, this thread is brutal: Stones, Beatles, Who, Aerosmith? I don't listen to these groups constantly or anything, but I cannot fathom putting them in the "Used to like but cannot listen for long now" category. Damn.For me, it would be lesser known acts that were somewhat stuck in their time, like Missing Persons, or Kansas, or The Yardbirds. But those arena acts? No, I can't imagine that just yet.

Vacant Horizon Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 i loved pearl jam's first two albums. after that i could not stand them. stuck in their time indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess that U2 lost their "edge"to you! ha I second that as Stay is awesome! I actually like them up to pop (which was hated by most) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
