Bands/Artists you no longer love Are there any bands that you used to obsess over now just don’t care for. For me it’s LCD Soundsystem and Eels. Saw both numerous times, but I’ve just fallen out of love with them. I still go back and listen to the earlier albums but their new stuff I just don’t care for. I hear a new albums coming and I just think meh. Just interested to hear w…

Bands you ignored in their Prime ….? And regretted! That you got into possibly after the bubble burst ? For me it’s the Smith’s…I thought the lyrics were often quite dark but the music and melody was uplifting ? Morrissey looked absolutely ridiculous on TOTP with jam jar spex, daffodils hanging out of his arse and an earing aid while somehow pulling off Cool ? Wtaf…I was more …

Bands that had the biggest jump in quality from one album to the next? My go-to example is almost always Metallica from Kill ‘Em All > Ride the Lightning. I enjoy Kill ‘Em All for what it is but to me, Ride the Lightning is just light years ahead in songwriting and sound, to the point that it feels like a different band. Even Master of Puppets, despite arguably being the better album, doesn’t feel like as much of a…

A-Z of Favorite Bands What’s your ABC of favorite bands? “The” and other articles don’t count. They have to be bands; no solo artists. Here’s my version: ABBA Beatles, The Crowded House Dire Straits Everly Brothers, The First Aid Kit Garbage Heart INXS Jacksons, The Kinks, The Led Zeppelin Muse Nirvana Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Pink Floyd Queen Rolling Stone…

Bands that hate their big hit I’ve heard or read many times that Radiohead hates “Creep” even though that’s a the first song that comes to a lot of people’s minds when they think Radiohead and it got tremendous radio play and covers. Is this unusual, or do a lot of artists hate their big hit? I can imagine getting sick of playing shows and audiences only wanting to hear that…

What are some bands where the lead singer is not the most widely known/popular member? I was having a conversation with a friend about this and we had trouble thinking of many bands where the lead singer is not the most widely known member of the band. We didn‘t include bands such a Santana which are built around an musician or bands like Dogstar that have a famous person from another medium (in this case Keanu Reeves) Playing in …

We’ve all heard horror stories of bad live bands… who’s the opposite? Incubus’s morning view sessions blew me tf away, and was the inspiration for this. Brandon Boyd hit every note perfectly, holy moly. Dude did in one take what I assume takes others days to hit. And he did it every single time. It felt like listening to a fully produced album, tbh. Edit: y’all should go hit up the Morning View Sessions… like, for…

Popular bands that you don’t love….with one exception Any songs that you love but you can’t get behind the band/musician in general? I’m not talking about one or two hit wonders, but artists with appreciated bodies of work who are generally beloved by most people. I love “Touch of Grey” but cannot stand the rest of The Grateful Dead’s music. submitted by /u/Veruca_issalty

As Coachella struggles, nostalgia festivals are booming: ‘We never stopped listening to these bands’ submitted by /u/TheUtopianCat

Best Female lead bands There is a rise in bands with female lead vocalists in rock and metal. That is to say it’s not the first time, we have punk and rock Queens from the 70’s and 80’s. But the current rise has really been good for new music. I enjoy hearing a girl belt out or growl like their male counterparts do, do you feel the same? I’m not a fan of guys that say…

I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 here’s a list of my 10 favourite US Bands 🇺🇸 The Stooges Velvet Underground The Cramps The Pixies Sonic Youth Pavement Faith No More Rage Against the Machine Smashing Pumpkins (early to mid 90s) King’s of Leon (first 2 LP’s only) But I’m really interested to know…what UK Bands do American’s/Canadians like/love if any ? submitted by /u/Immediate_Wolf3802

LPT: remove your Apple Watch bands and clean them. I have been using the same band for well over a year. Maybe multiple years. I workout and do a lot of other sweaty chores and I do wash the whole watch when I get sweaty but I haven’t removed the band in a long time. Long story short, it broke the other night and I went to remove it and it wouldn’t come out. I eventually got one end off but had…

Bands that you want to like more than you do? this is kinda a stupid question… you got any bands that you wish you were into more than you are? Mine’s The Beach Boys. I like them enough. I like Good Vibrations, Sloop John B., have listened to Pet Sounds a few times. But I don’t really get it. Have heard Pet Sounds compared to Dark Side of the Moon, and that seems absurd to me. But all…

Give me some “one album wonder” bands Have you ever encountered a band that had one amazing album and then kinda dropped off? Not just a one hit wonder, but an album that has multiple bangers? The only one that comes to mind for me is “Boston” by Boston. That whole album is concentrated classic rock: “More Than a Feeling” “Rock and Roll Band” “Smokin” “Let Me Take You Home Tonight”….

Do you listen to full discographices by bands you like ? So it’s really hard for me to listen to complete discographies of bands since i got into metal music. The reasons are Because I’m constantly discovering new bands or songs so it’s hard for me to keep up with listening to one band or I get bored and switch between albums and also i’m the worst with remembering the name of the songs. Many times …

I love Radiohead. What other bands am I likely to like? I’ve been going through this Radiohead obsession for a couple of weeks and I’m worried that this is the peak of music and I’ll never find anything as good again haha. Looking for recommendations of bands or albums. EDIT: To give you a better idea of what I like about Radiohead, here are my opinions on their albums -Pablo Honey Meh. I could take…

I feel like The Doors have somewhat left the conversation in terms of legendary classic rock bands people talk about these days. Am I crazy? Maybe this is entirely on me and where I’ve been looking lately, but I feel like The Doors hardly come up anymore in general conversations of GOAT classic rock bands, compared to the usual heavy-hitters. Like, Pink Floyd’s name carries just as much weight now as they did before (if not more so), same with The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Stones, e…

Any bands that never blew up that you think about from time to time for some reason? I remember watching fuse when I was a teenager and a video for a song called “little razor blade” by “the pink spiders” came on. It was cheesy and the song was not anything to write home about but I thought it was pretty good, they never “made it” as far as I can tell but every once In a while I’ll remember the song and throw it on, and as a mus…

I’m struggling with deciding on whether I should listen to the deluxe or standard versions of albums by old bands, explanation below So I listen to many classic bands from the 60s, like The Who, The Byrds and many psychedelic rock artists. Now almost all these have their classic standard version of a famous album, let’s say The Who’s “The Who Sell Out” but also often a deluxe version with many bonus tracks that weren’t on the original release or were released years later. The…
