Music that makes you irrationally angry

[mwh]

Annie Lennox could be singing an issue of penthouse forum and I still wouldn't want to hear her awful owl screeches.

[bovine knievel]

Black-eyed peas

It's like they said on the Office earlier this season - its rock for people that don't like rock, its pop for people that don't like pop, and its rap for people that don't like rap.

purty much sums it up

most new country irritates me, but Sugarland takes the cake. I feel my day go from good to bad in a matter of 30 seconds... the sound of that chicks voice makes me cringe. And it's so phony. One minute she sounds like she's from the deep south, the next she's from Minnesota... I don't get it.

Shamelessly playing to the geographic extent of her audience.

I hate how pop-country just exploits people in the South and Midwest.

[LuthierJustin]

all those fake metal/hard rock bands that all sound exactly the same that they play on the radio, but they'll all be gone in 6 months for a new batch of shit bands.

and 80's hair bands, poison, ratt, firehouse, ect...

[GW in IA]

Rascal Flatts!!
Hate! Hate! Fucking hate the lead singers voice!
Makes me think of someone pushing kittens against a cheese grater!

She's from deep south Georgia.

She has definitely twanged up her sound for the country audience. But she is a Southerner.

And for what it's worth, she paid her dues!

You must hate music then, because the only thing I don't like is crap generic rock bands...

Well, he does like Cold Play if I remember correctly!

"like" is a strong word.....

Well then I apologize, I don't remember correctly.

I think I said something about them not being the worst band in the world, which apparently equals liking them to some people

[Lone Wolf1]

grateful dead
phish
springsteen
any and all rap

[Tequila Cowboy]

Yanni
Celine Dion

But maybe that's not irrational.

[linkous]

The fucking Beatles

...oh, and Brooooooooce

It's dangerously close, my friend!

[Tequila Cowboy]

Wait, I had thought it was universally decreed that Nickelback was, in fact, the worst band in the world.

[Iowan]

I don't hate the first two Coldplay albums, but loathe everything they have done since.

Yes, TC. Nickleback is the worst band ever.

[RevMatt]

I guess I had a musical experience today that made me irrationally angry.

I was browsing dvd's at Target today when the Dierks Bentley ripoff of "In a Razor Town" came on the video screen. I wasn't really paying attention but suddenly, there it was, the familiar strains of a Jason Isbell song playing for the masses in Target. Then I looked up, saw somebody else singing on the screen and remembered the whole brouhaha. I got pissed. Really pissed. I don't know why. I posted rationally about the whole thing a few weeks back on the thread we had on the topic. I think a few factors went into it. One of the bands I am auditioning for asked me to bring some songs down to sing. It is a cover band with a cool concept: New Orleans funk, lesser known country, Memphis Soul. I brought down "You Got Me Singing" by Eddie Hinton and "Codeine" and told them that covering Muscle Shoals artists would fit in well with their concept. This morning the first song I put on the turntable while I was getting dressed was "Decoration Day". So I was in a Jason frame of mind today. The other factor was that I really felt like that asshole Nashville star was stealing not only from Jason but everyone who supports Drive By Truckers and a host of other great artists who don't get mainstream acceptance. Yes, it is very irrational to feel like Dierks Bentley was stealing from me and my friends. But I felt that way. He gets propped up as a star. He has a deal where the Nashville songwriters give him songwriting credit the same way Colonel Tom Parker got Elvis Presley credit for just about every Otis Blackwell song Elvis recorded. In this instance the songwriters humored him and let him come up with a chorus to a song that turned out to be a hit. Yes, I met Otis Blackwell in his latter days. Blind, diabetic, alcoholic. Nearly broke from selling his publishing numerous times. True, Otis made his own bed with a career full of stupid business decisions but that is not the point. Somehow guys like Dierks Bentley never end up like Otis Blackwell or Eddie Hinton. That is my point and that is why I am angry.

No, I don't think Jason Isbell will end up like Eddie Hinton. I recall the final scene in The Secret To a Happy Ending. Jason talks about being fired from Drive By Truckers. It is obvious it hurt him. But there is something in his body language as he is walking away that suggests that Jason is tougher than most. He will not only survive but will have a career.

Target does not carry Here We Rest. But you can get a cd there with a song that is a blatant plagerism of "In A Razor Town". And the people who dig that song will never hear about Jason Isbell.

Today I was irrationally angry.

Not according to Tiger Woods

[LuthierJustin]

Jerry Cantrell is a Nickleback as well

[dime in the gutter]

damn near all tribute albums.

[mwh]

Jerry Cantrell is a Nickleback as well

In what way is Jerry Cantrell even remotely like Nickleback?

I love those 2 albums. When it was Chris Martin at a piano or guitar, it was good...let him play around in a studio or dance on a stage-it all goes to shit..

The Scientist was my favorite song that year..

[Smitty]

Nickelback are a mediocre, generic "rock" band, but I cant subscribe to the belief that they're the worst band ever.

[LuthierJustin]

I hate all those bands with names like As I Lay Dying, My Darkest Days, Ouch It Hurts When I Move My Arm..... none of them stick around more than 6 months, and they're all terrible generic rock.

Generally true. However there are some good ones.

Case & point.

that's a damn good album

[Iowan]

I agree with this. I also tend to find that there's usually one or two tracks on most tribute albums that are legitimately interesting, entertaining covers.

That Tom T. Hall tribute I got from Smitty was solid. Some real good stuff there.

[Duke Silver]

Are we differentiating between tribute albums as a general concept and the songs contained on them? You can't possibly hate all covers, dime.
