Songs you hate by bands you like

I dislike the majority of From Oceans to Skies, because (excluding the songs with guest artists, and "Black Holes") the songs sound generic and dull. I honestly just became bored while listening to the album the first time around and ended up listening to Ghosts in the Code instead.

Of course, having a FNAF song that isn't just a bonus track (Like in Building Better Worlds and Stargazers) doesn't help it's case.^note Doubly so when both of the FNAF 4 songs had made are almost exactly the same.

I guess most of Jazz and some of A Kind of Magic from Queen.

Most of them are not bad just meh songs just next to real good stuff.

I find "Kick the Dust Up" to be, by far, Luke Bryan's worst song (and yes, I have heard "That's My Kind of Night"). I didn't care much for TMKoN either, but at least Luke sounded like he was having fun while recording that song. This song felt like something that was previously rejected by someone like Jason Aldean or Old Dominion, and it feels as if Luke only recorded it because his record label wanted a "bro"-country song as the lead-off single.

Speaking of Old Dominion, "Break Up with Him" is one of the only "bro"-country songs that I hate solely for its lyrical content, which is a shame because I know that at least two of the band members (Matthew Ramsey and Trevor Rosen) have written songs (both for their band and for other artists) that I really like.

I don't get the hate for Break Up with Him. That song sounds very credible to me.

"Move" is just "Country Girl (Shake it for Me)" without the guilty pleasure factor. They're even both in Dorian.

I'll admit that I kinda like the production and beat for "Break Up with Him", it's just that the lyrics, even if they were meant to be intentional, were just too douchey and unlikable for me to like the song (hence why I said I hate it solely for its lyrics).

As for "Move", my opinion of it can be summed up as this: Take my paragraph about "Kick the Dust Up", replace all instances of that song with "Move", and all instances of "That's My Kind of Night" with "Country Girl (Shake it for Me)", and you have my opinion of "Move". That said, I at least kinda like the song's beat, which is more than I can say for "Kick the Dust Up".

I adore Mystery Skulls with all my heart; their music is absolutely amazing and has given me a new appreciation for...uh, I dunno the name of their genre but it's a good one.

Fantasy, though...Fantasy is...not very good.

yeah, "Fantasy" is pretty bad, though its intro (before any of the singing starts) is pretty cool

I sort of like the idea of this song more than actually listening to it: Putting a formless 10 minute percussion solo on a major label debut album sort of fits the band's mischievous, self-sabotaging streak ^note I've heard the stories about how, if they found themselves in front of an unappreciative crowd at a festival or in an opening band slot, they would respond by spending most of their set time on harsh, improvised noise, only starting to play actual songs once enough people left the room, but that doesn't mean I don't pretend Houdini ends with "Pearl Bomb" most of the time. The first time I saw them live, it was a long show with no opener that ended with Houdini in its entirety - I had to take public transportation home and "Spread Eagle Beagle" just seemed like my best opportunity to beat the rush out the door.

I actually don't like Queen's We Will Rock You. The studio version at least. I like live versions of the song a lot, but it seems like a song made for live performance, so the studio version of the song is pretty blah.

I've always had mixed feelings on that song. It's a fun song to mess around with people with, but it's a bit samey in the studio recording. I do like how it's produced, but it's far from my favorite Queen song.

As far as what version I tend to enjoy of that song? This:

(for the record, I'm not the biggest fan of "Robot Rock" on its own either, considering they do virtually nothing with the sample they use in the song and it's just plain uninteresting on the whole. I prefer this mashup to both "Robot Rock" and "We Will Rock You".)

I like Drake & Kendrick, but "Poetic Justice" never really clicked for me. I certainly don't hate it, but it doesn't really hold my interest.

I think teenager off of White Pony is my least favorite song by Deftones. It's the only song I don't care for by them. It's feels like filler.

I should also add Science by System Of A Down. SOAD's first two albums are amazing and some of the best Metal albums I've heard but Science is a weak song overall. The lyrics just really irk me.

"Long Distance Drunk" by Modest Mouse would fit here, which is especially strange considering that the album it's on (The Lonesome Crowded West) is in my top five. Along with that, there's also "Starfuckers, Inc." and "Capital G" by Nine Inch Nails and all of Machina / The Machines of God by the Smashing Pumpkins (with the exception of "The Everlasting Gaze," which is the only one where the production works).

Huge, huge fan of Rush, I don't like New World Man. Both musically and lyrically it feels limp compared to most of their other work, and for some reason it's their only top 40 hit in the United States.

Wire's The Drill as a whole is something of a sore point for me, not so much because it's awful as because it's a very disappointing execution of a really fascinating concept. Just find a late live version of "Drill" from the tours for Manscape or The First Letter and stick with that.

I agree that New World Man is a weak point.

^^ What do you think of "Nice Streets Above", then?

Chevelle, "Send the Pain Below". I like just about everything I've heard from them, but the chorus of that song really gets on my nerves.

Now, I like Nirvana. I like all three of their studio albums. But, Sifting from Bleach is a pretty weak song. While the lyrics are interesting, musically it doesn't do much for me.

I like most of the rock songs from Shinedown, but i dont like any of their ballads or "slower" songs like Second Chance, 45, or their cover of Simple Man. Only ballad song i like by them would be What A Shame, which wasnt even released as a single (of course, i only own one album by them, Sound of Madness, so maybe they do have some better ballads).

I got sick of ".45" really quick.

I'm not sure who put that hidden track at the beginning of the spotify version of Queens Of The Stone Age's Songs For The Deaf but it really ruins the flow of an album that flows perfectly from start to finish otherwise

It's on the original CD version as well; it's hidden in the pre-gap of "Millionaire".

Tbh I could attribute that track to Josh just fucking around, if it was his idea anyway.

I like the idea, but it definitely shouldn't be at the beginning of the album
