A song you like from a band you hate


Recommended Posts

Good point on Journey! I didn't count the pre-Perry stuff. To me, it's not even the same band. They really did rock before Stevie-boy came along and turned them into the schlock-rock dream of every 1980s teenage girl.

 

I don't actually hate The Clash, but I figured that would make a few heads explode. Punk does nothing for me. Never did, never will. I suppose if I were a 14-year-old British boy, I would think they were really cool, but nope. I actually did sit through London Calling after seeing it get such critical acclaim, but it was really intolerable to me. Put me in mind of Tinseltown Rebellion*, even though that song is not really relevant to that particular band.

 

Funny how some people come to Wilco via love for The Minutemen, Clash and/or Replacements, while some of us come by way of love for classic rock like The Stones, etc. Oh, I don't care for Pavement, either. And I like a lot of The Eagles' songs. :lol

 

*They used to play all kinds of stuff

And some of it was nice
Some of it was musical
But then they took some guy's advice
To get a record deal, he said,
They would have to be more punk
Forget their chops and play real dumb
Or else they would be sunk

That's totally about Missing Persons, no?
