Say Something Nice About a Band/Performer You Hate

post #1 of 129

Thread Starter 
I'm in a hugely bad mood this morning about work so I thought I'd try to deflect it by saying something nice about an artist I can't stand. Maybe finding the good in something I hate will help me find something good in something I usually love.

I like the zen nature of the lyric "thank you india/thank you providence/thank you disillusionment/thank you nothingness/thank you clarity/thank you thank you silence" in Alanis Morissette's Thank U

I like that Limp Bizkit hasn't released an album in almost three years. Hopefully they can keep the streak going. Come on, guys! Don't let me down!

One day, the members of Creed will die, and their decaying corpses will fertilize the land, helping beautiful flowers to grow.

I can't prove that the members of U2 drown puppies, no matter how much I suspect it.

Shakira doesn't sing like she has down syndrome all the time.

DaveB isn't going to come into this thread and tell us how wrong we all are, is he?

I suspect eventually he will. But it will be in a thoughtful manner for while DaveB is a god, he is a kind and generous god. (Though misfit's claim of U2 not drowning puppies is kinda hard to prove being what with it being a negative and all.)

Yes, but I also admit they may not, which would be a positive.

Real one: Garth Brooks' cover of "Hard Luck Woman" is pretty good.

Kinda hard to do it worse then the original but still true.

People with far better and more learned taste than I like Rush.

The Fiery Furnaces give the try-hards something to do on a Saturday night.

I'm fairly certain that Dave isn't going to come in here and tell you that your opinions are wrong. Fairly certain.

If you haven't watched this yet, you might want to.

For my part, Kanye West apparently had a very devoted mother. Sure, she kind of filled his head with conspiracy theories like the CIA invented AIDS to keep the black man down and raised a complete asshole ... but she was devoted.

Are these guys getting big in the states now actually? We seem to find sublime ways to make up for WW2.

Tokyo Hotel in Slate Magazine? "Head explodes" - Now I have to go off and google.

ETA: Nice fun-fact in that article: "...Tokio Hotel's debut U.S. release, which came out on Sept. 11....". All in all it´s just a little bit of history repeating....

And like any Slate article it's wordy and boring. Enjoy

Well at least they're consistent.


I like how Limp Bizkit has popped up like 4 times already. I'll echo Devildoubt in saying Wes Borland is/was pretty much the only thing going for them.

Three Doors Down's "Citizen Soldier" video will do wonders at sending idiots to their deaths, thus cleaning up the gene pool a little bit.

They are female repellent.

I would say that Alicia Keys can play the piano.
It's always a good talent to have.

Lenny Kravitz had a mom who was on the Jeffersons, a dad who promoted a bunch of famous jazz musicians, and an ex-wife who was arguably the coolest Cosby kid. So he goes way back with some interesting famous and talented people.

That's why Subliminal Verses was great. They found a balance.

Plus, the singer stopped trying to do a Death Metal growl, and settled with just a powerful shout, and it's actually a good voice for metal.

Plus Jared Leto looks fucking hot in eyeliner.

That was actually the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread but I put Slipknot because I just have so much more hate for them.
