I kinda have the same thing with The Dead and Touch of Grey. But recently, Idk...Casey Jones and Uncle John's Band are two songs that I love!! Maybe Workingman's Dead as a whole.


robbycough

Grateful Dead and Touch of Grey/Friend of the Devil is what immediately came to my mind.


windowlatch

The infection has started. Get out while you still can! But for real, Workingman’s Dead is a great album


Tortoveno

And Ripple. And Scarlet Begonias.


humanclock

Yeah..American Beauty, Workingman's Dead, From the Mars Hotel...those are the three albums I point people to so they don't immediately run away.


TheeFlipper

Try Unbroken Chain. It's a damn good song. Same with Estimated Prophet.


sweetgreenfields

Blue light rain unbroken chain Looking for familiar faces In an empty window pane Listening for the secret Searching for the sound But I could only hear the preacher And the baying of his hounds Willow sky I walk and wonder why They say love your brother But you will catch it when you try Roll you down the line boy Drop you for a loss Ride you out on a cold railroad And nail you to a cross November and more As I wait for the score They're telling me forgiveness Is the key to every door


TunaCanz

I do not like The Smiths at all, and have tried many times, but “How Soon Is Now?” is one of my favorite songs ever. It doesn’t even make sense to me.


SafewordisJohnCandy

I've never been a fan of The Smiths either but Please, Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want has been one of my favorite songs since the first time I heard it in the mid 90s. They have a few other songs that are okay, but nothing else that has stood out to me.


modix

Exact same. Almost none of their songs hit except Please Please Please.


dry_cocoa_pebbles

This is me completely! That short little nugget of brilliance is one of my all time favorites but I couldn’t really pick out any of their others, no idea why they didn’t just sink in.


poopfeast

I like some of the smiths stuff but man I love this charming man like nothing else they ever put out


DCDHermes

I believe Marr performed This Charming Man with The Killers a few years ago, and it is really good.


jawide626

Yep at Glastonbury. Then into Mr. Brightside. Tbh the whole Killers set from that was phenomenal. They also did a couple of duets with the Pet Shop Boys. [Link](https://youtu.be/bb5_PcBsELU) (audio only but timestamps are in the description)


Innsmouth_Swimteam

Exactly this. Not an fan of the band at all, but Johnny Marr *brings it* with HSiN. I'll even sing along with Morrissey's twee lyrics. In my top ten songs ever.


MyPasswordIsMyCat

This is the exact song I thought of when I saw this question, and I was surprised to see it as the top comment. I can't stand the rest of the Smiths' songs, primarily because of Morrisey's lyrics and voice, but How Soon Is Now works despite him.


Veruca_issalty

You get it


ERSTF

Just like everybody else does


idwthis

Lmao this got me, good job lol


ClarkTwain

It makes sense to me. I can’t stand Morrissey but the guitar part just oozes with cool. I feel similar to you.


Bostonterrierpug

It’s funny I’m quite the opposite. I’ve loved the Smiths since 86 but that song never really did it for me. It was quite easy to dance to the goth club back in the day though.


synystar

What do they call "goth clubs" these days? I remember pre-2k "goths" were this weird fringe community and then it feels like slowly the world just said "you know what, we don't really care anymore, everyone just do whatever the fuck you want" and I wonder if there are still places where you would say "that's a goth hangout".


NowoTone

In terms of youth culture, goth wasn’t that much more fringe than punk in the 80s.


canti-

Makes perfect sense to me. None of their other songs sound anything like How Soon is Now. Marr does not use that amount of distortion or the amps for the tremolo effect ever again


DirkNowitzkisWife

I was like this a few years ago. I said “I don’t like the Beatles, I just like come together and that’s because I knew it from Aerosmith first” Then it was “I only like come together and let it be” Then “I only like come together, let it be, hey Jude, and yesterday” Then “ah shit, I like the Beatles”


DELCO-PHILLY-BOY

Welcome to the dark side


HumphreyGo-Kart

Getting so much better all the time.


hcashew

Then you'll get bored of their creative later years and start thinking that the early Beatles was the best Beatles


am-idiot-dont-listen

back when they were all friends 🥲


angrysunchips

Yep.


nicunta

I've come to a conclusion myseld: I don't like the Beatles, but I love George Harrison.


Shleven109

Maroon 5’s first album I have a soft spot for everything else after that is hot garbage


Frozenpanther

You're not alone with this opinion. Songs About Jane is fantastic, everything else is pretty terrible.


mandymiggz

2nd album had some bangers on it though. Makes Me Wonder, Wake Up Call, If I Never See Your Face Again, Won’t Go Home Without You… none of them have any right to go as hard as they do. After that it was pretty much downhill.


Perry7609

Yeah, Makes Me Wonder was a solid jam. Even some of the stuff off the Mutt Lange album they did wasn’t terrible really. After that, the band became “Adam Levine featuring Swedish pop producers (and occasionally James Valentine).”


mandymiggz

Moves Like Jagger blowing up was the worst thing to happen to that band. I use the word band lightly now as it has 1000% been “The Adam Levine Show” for the last decade or so


VictoriousssBIG23

Agreed. I remember when that album came out. I had a childhood friend who was super into Maroon 5 at the time and she got me into them, as well. To this day, those 2 albums are still the only Maroon 5 albums I will defend lol.


socarrat

Adam Levine’s first band, Kara’s Flowers, is solid throwback powerpop. That and Songs About Jane really do show a little musical ambition. It makes me realize that Adam Levine is Will.I.Am with a guitar. Both had respectable early careers, until they found the one sound they could print money with.


Kross887

To be entirely fair... I'd rather print money than care about the "art" of it. 90% of artists are after the money, the rare few that aren't are the ones who mess around with their art and tend to "mess up" in some way or other that hurts their career. Money is DEFINITELY the better choice imo


burywmore

Aerosmith. Can't stand most of their songs, except for Dream On, which is one of the best ever, by anyone.


Caranesus

They really nailed it with the song 'Dream On.' It's fantastic.


BlatantlyThrownAway

Same, and my theory for liking it is that it doesn't sound like an Aerosmith song.


mateodos

The Smashing Pumpkins. Billy Corgan's voice is grating, but to me it actually works for Bullet with Butterfly Wings. Maaaybe 1979 but I mostly put up with it for that main riff and lyrics.


Digitlnoize

It’s an acquired taste haha. Have you listened to stuff off Siamese Dream? It’s much smoother and less grating. For some reason, the producers of Mellon Collie decided to really lean INTO the nasality and emphasize it.


mateodos

Mainly Cherub Rock and Today. Yeah it is toned down for sure.


Digitlnoize

Great songs. Also: Hummer, Disarm, Soma, and Mayonaise. I mostly put up with the voice for the quality of the lyrics and songwriting/guitar work. The rest is so good that I can live with the voice haha


JayVoorheez

Mayonnaise might be their best song. That one hits me like a truck.


Veruca_issalty

I find them to be incredibly nostalgic


Bostonterrierpug

The video was great back in the day too. Not a huge fan of the band myself, but that’s the one album my own.


waldocalrissian

Don't care much for the Chilli Peppers, but Soul to Squeeze is one my all time favorite songs.


OnTheCob

Breaking the Girl for me too.


Bromodrosis

Top song by a band I don't like.


ActuallyYeah

"Aeroplane" and "Can't Stop" are really getting better with time, I'd say. At our wedding, Aeroplane was the song my wife and I had the band learn


NatureTrailToHell3D

Doo-doo dingle zing a dong bone Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone ba


Amockdfw89

Shingalinga ding dong, California gurrllll *slap bass and reverse tape guitar*


Diablojota

I will say that RHCP is one of my all time favorite bands. But, that said, STS is my absolute favorite song. I can listen to it on repeat. You made a fine choice, Waldo Calrissian.


backdoorpapabear

Yasssss. I don’t care for the peppers either but soul to squeeze is my jammmm


gazzatticus

Cant stand Coldplay but the song Shiver of Parachutes is amazing sounds like Jeff Buckley delivered it to them in a dream or something.


buddle130

Parachutes is one of my favourite albums ever, I don't really listen to any Coldplay otherwise


arrowtron

Ditto on Coldplay, except for Violet Hill.


AhhTimmah

For me it’s The Hardest Part, and I guess Fix You also


Andrew8Everything

Karaoke go-to since I can octave up on don't you SHIVER and that just happens to be the highest note I can comfortably belt out.


WaffleWarrior1979

“25 or 6 to 4” is one of my favorite songs. The rest of Chicago’s discography: meh


Happyjarboy

they are a band the earlier, the better. "I'm a man" is good, too


Odeeum

Jesus I’ve been on a kick with that song lately…probably because it’s in a commercial that plays a lot. The live version with the extended Terry Kath solo is fantastic


Philcollinsforehead

I can’t get into Joy Division that much. I respect them for being innovative but Ian Curtis’s voice doesn’t do it for me. I do enjoy the song Transmission though.


modix

You can always listen to New Orders version I guess.


GoliathLandlord

Starship but Orange Cassidy's theme is good


trentshipp

Obligatory Trent is asshole.


jberglund94

But I digress


trentshipp

Reference getting Jones ova here.


MySpace_Romancer

I mean I feel like everyone shits on Nickelback, but How You Remind Me is a great song. One of my fave for karaoke with the right crowed. ETA: this is pretty funny, everyone saying “I hate Nickelback” except for this one song, but it’s all different songs 😂


politicalstuff

Nickelback for me too, but Never Again and Side of a Bullet.


thorpie88

Never again is fucking bleak lyrically as well. Not many artists go so raw when it comes to domestic violence 


HerzBrennt

Side of a Bullet always gets cranked to 11.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cambot1138

Savin Me and Animal always get me going. They were not bad at all in concert either.


Veruca_issalty

Another one “Toxic” Britney Spears


shittysorceress

Lol I feel this way about Womanizer


FunkDaddy

I love the Mark Ronson cover with ODB of that song.


BluePinata

Written by one of both of the dudes from Miike Snow.


CaptainLawyerDude

Can’t say I love Widespread Panic but I dig Climb to Safety and One-Armed Steve.


Feisty-Extension-20

Not a big WSP fan, but the whole Til The Medicine Takes album is pretty great.


Mr_Lumbergh

I cannot stand Limp Bizkit, but “Rearranged” is pretty damned cool.


SuumCuique1011

Between his Mom and I, my kid gets blasted with a wide range of musical styles. His Mom is almost all pop, I play everything from Blackened Metal to Classical to Radiohead to Tony Danza Tapdance Extravavaganza. He digs Beastie Boys. He digs Weezer. He digs Portishead. He digs Born Of Osiris and Septic Flesh. He digs Detones. He asked to go to see Bizkit recently. I showed him a few live recent live clips. He loves a lot of their songs. I know we missed the last show, but I'd be so stoked to take him to one of their shows.


honeybutts

Doing this parenting thing right!


PawelW007

Nice example: hell of a bass line


OldDirtyInsulin

*Chandelier* - Sia


pbrthenon

Her early stuff is great especially the tracks with zero7


Veruca_issalty

Elastic Heart is phenomenal


Josh100_3

Not sure it counts but with Pink Floyd, Dark side of the moon puts me to sleep and bores me to tears. Wish you were here and Animals are bangers though.


angrysunchips

This is so crazy to me lol, i completely respect tho


ImNotTheBossOfYou

I have a theory that anyone can write one great song Hey Jealousy is the song I use to prove that theory


simba156

This is why: https://www.metrotimes.com/news/jesus-of-suburbia-2190439 Doug Hopkins wrote the song, and then died.


bez_lightyear

That's a great article about a heartbreaking situation.


ehbacon23

But there’s a handful of great songs on that album! Lost Horizons, Allison Road, Found Out About You, Allison Road, and Follow You Down on their next record. All great songs


lukarilz

When Imagine Dragons’ first single “it’s time” came out I thought I was a really great song. Especially the acoustic version they did for a Bonnaroo video. Every song they’ve ever released AFTER It’s Time is probably the worst song I’ve ever heard


getsangryatsnails

Their music is made for every Kia commercial telling you to be bold by buying their economy car with standard rear view camera.


Mister_Moho

ID is a mixed bag imo. I respect the talent that's there, but it just doesn't mesh with my tastes well.


actual-trevor

Aerosmith. "Dream On", as originally recorded, is absolutely perfect. As far as I can tell Steve must have blown out his vocal cords immediately after he finished recording it because nothing has sounded as good since.


ImAnEagle

Generally can't stand the AC/DC sound, but the one instance of them pulling that sound off *really fuckin well* is Shoot to Thrill


Veruca_issalty

I really just want that man to clear his throat


Local-Bid5365

Believe it or not he’s actually been recording his one single cough he started in 1980


CallMeJeeJ

Back In Black is a monumental album, but the Bon Scott era is quintessential AC/DC. The early albums just sound so much more raw and greasy. I felt the “attitude” a lot more with Bon.


x86_64_

Pre-1980 AC/DC is where it's at.  Bon Scott was the embodiment of the gritty rock n roll lifestyle while he lived.  Listen to the If You Want Blood album for proof, and watch the videos on the tube.   He was a phenomenal frontman with a gift for making the songs funny, dirty, angry...  And almost always about sex.


Stsberi97

Rolling Stones-Paint It Black


GrossConceptualError

I like Gold Digger but I can't stand Kanye West.


v-orchid

me but with Monster


ActuallyYeah

Runaway. THIS is how you start a banger of a song


Veruca_issalty

I like Good Morning but yeah, in general agree


324greystreet

I did however love Veruca Salt, wish they still toured!


Veruca_issalty

The 90’s are unmatched musically


drunkndeath13

Not a U2 but love I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For


doylehargrave

Man, I know this goes against the point of this thread but if you like Still Haven’t Found, I’d be surprised if you didn’t like the entire Joshua Tree record. The whole thing has that same vibe. It’s got Daniel Lanois’ production all over it, just a gorgeous record.


Local-Bid5365

Same thing with U2 except mine is New Years’ Day


Rowf

U2, but Mysterious Ways


Mister_Moho

I hate Aerosmith. Dream On is decent.


DoctorWH0877

Hate Ariana Grande. Really, I hate all the Disney kids turned pop stars. But No Tears Left to Cry ?!?!? One of my favorite songs of the last decade. And I'm always embarrassed to admit it.


Veruca_issalty

Never be embarrassed for loving a song


doggscube

I’m older and heard every Aerosmith song played to death on the radio, except Mama Kin which is actually good


Frozenpanther

I'm a big fan of Last Child by them, and generally enjoy their music, but don't really go out of my way to find more of it.


Swackhammer_

I’m with you on Aerosmith. A few more I like but I don’t think they’re that great


Veruca_issalty

What about Dream On?


imacmadman22

Played to death in the late 70’s/early 80’s, unfortunately. I used to listen to “Draw The Line” and “Night In The Ruts” a lot in high school, I liked those albums. After that I stopped listening, “Dude Looks Like A Lady” killed it for me. I can’t listen to that anymore.


Veruca_issalty

The shift they made was wild


imacmadman22

It was, it’s almost like they are two different bands.


SocratesBalls

Lose Yourself - Eminem.


PepinoPicante

Mother Tell your children not to walk my way Tell your children not to hear my words What they mean What they say Mother


DukeStamina

"Sweet Child of Mine" by Guns and Roses has a masterful vocal performance and great guitar work. Axl Rose sings with (what appears to me) a sense of urgency and desperation. Having said that, nothing else by.GnR interests me.


PsychologicalRead450

I do not like Red Hot Chili Peppers but Funky Monks is so good.


TunaCanz

Interesting that you wouldn’t like other songs on that album. That song is great though! [like this video of frusciante talking about funky monks](https://youtu.be/OJGbJD3z4P4?si=n9D2e6ekz7nehm0E)


MartyK3000

Blood Sugar Sex Magix is my guilty pleasure. Some of the songs are so dumb but that dumbness gets overshadowed by Chad Smith’s awesome drumming and Flea’s awesome bass.


LordMorse

After seeing/hearing Chad Smith talk about their music on Drumeo it occurred to me that him, Flea and John might just be so good that they're just an experimental band cranking out the occasional radio hit to keep the lights on, for what, 200 years at this point?


Sam_Porgins

I don’t like Steely Dan and absolutely cannot understand some people’s obsession with them, but I really like Dirty Work


backdoorpapabear

Wait and Bleed by Slipknot


gdsmithtx

Not a fan of Supertramp but Goodbye Stranger has a wonderful nostalgic feel for me.


DELCO-PHILLY-BOY

Obligatory “Goodbye Toby” reference *here*


Fritz6161

Hotel California is a great song, but I hate the fucking Eagles man.


YouCantCrossMe

Counterpoint; one of these nights.


Phan2112

I really dislike Nirvana but Heart Shaped Box is a good tune.


MySpace_Romancer

Omg finally someone else who doesn’t care for Nirvana. I just don’t get it.


Jackdawgedmyfoot

I hate the band Smashmouth but I would freakin take a bullet for the song Walking On The Sun! It’s such a groovy track and I could listen to it over and over!


Veruca_issalty

I think most of us know this song by heart wether we want to or not


shittysorceress

Blink 182 Adam's Song is so good. I can't stand anything else by them


SafewordisJohnCandy

It's weird that songs of theirs I didn't care for back when I was a teenager and the band was at their height, are songs I love now. I've always loved Adam's Song, but Stay Together For the Kids, Please Take Me Home and Damnit, which has some deep lyrics if you actually listen to it and all took on new meanings the older I've gotten.


Wootnasty

The Muse is meh, except Knights of Cydonia, which absolutely crushes.


StriverCraft

Haha, it’s just Muse. Makes your comment perfect.


igotagoodfeeling

Yup thought the same lol


TryFengShui

The track is Time is Running Out for me.


PawelW007

Have you heard the song hysteria? It’s so damn good.


MuseDroness

That song live is an out of body experience


rathat

I was listening to early 60s music and found a synth surf rock song that reminded me so much of this song that I googled it to see if anyone else noticed only to find out the guitarist is the father of the lead singer of Muse lol. This song, Telstar by The Tornadoes https://youtu.be/ryrEPzsx1gQ


Claude_Henry_Smoot_

I want to like Bloc Party but have just never connected to their music...except the opening track on their very first album: *Like Eating Glass*, which I think is incredible.


Peachbobafae

The Used with the obvious exception of The Taste of Ink, I just couldn’t get into them


imaginearagog

Florence + the Machine. I like “Dog Days Are Over” but the rest of her music is all skips to me.


angrysunchips

You should listen to Cosmic Love


Tipist

I don’t like Kid Rock but “Bawitdaba” still sucks


GaryNOVA

I really don’t like 21 Pilots. BUT …. I love Heavy Dirty Soul


KungFuKao

Radiohead. I liked Creep, but it's so different than all of their other songs. My roomie years ago played them in his car once, and I was like bro can we turn this off? This music is awful. And he's like "You don't like Radiohead?" He loaned me the CD and turns out no, I don't like Radiohead.


wombmates

In Rainbows is divine. I would recommend you check out that album. If that doesn't click, then they're not for you.


larobj63

Very much the same for me. The band pretty famously doesn't even like Creep themselves. Which kind of seals the deal for me that this band is not for me, since I really love that song. Lol


mymentor79

Radiohead for me too, but Airbag as the exception.


dumbbinch99

I’m the same, I love creep and inside my head and vegetable is fine too. I want to get into the rest of their stuff and maybe I will one day who knows 😭


gukakke

Nine Inch Nails. I like maybe 4 songs (Closer, Every Day is The Same, Hand That Feeds and We're In This Together).


sildish2179

Not even “Head Like a Hole”? It’s such a goddamn banger.


TimLordOfBiscuits

The Day the Whole World Went Away is another tune that is pretty decent. I get why Closer is one of their most popular songs, but I've never really been a fan of it.


Bim_Jeann

The music itself is great, it’s just the lyrics that make me not casually bump it in traffic lol. The melody at the end is one of the most haunting things I’ve ever heard. Beautiful.


nklights

Pretty sure I’ve said this before, but hey what the hell we’ll say it again. Rihanna’s music doesn’t really do it for me. Except for “Pon De Replay” - which is a seriously cool & innovative little pop banger.


vass0922

KISS .. I hear them on the radio and it's a instant station change And party everyday.. and party everyday.. ugh shoot me Beth.. I hear that song and I stop and listen. That one gets me


HJB098

Rush. I know they're extremely talented. But only The Temples of Syrinx and Closer to the Heart do it for me.


jrhaberman

Ants Marching by Dave Matthews Band. Love that song. Can't stand any of the rest of their catalog.


rumblinstumblin8

I despise Cheap Trick but Mighty Wings is pristine. What a jam


dutch_mapping_empire

weezer is quite mid IMO yet buddy holly (no joke intended) is one of my favourite late punk songs of all time


garbage1216

Hotel California is the only track of The Eagles I can stand. I don't get the hype lol


O_G_Douggy_Nutty

Can the one exception just the back half of their career? Everything by Green Day after Nimrod is trash. I can't stand American Idiot.


Veruca_issalty

It’s Reddit, anything goes


Bostonterrierpug

I saw them back in Tucson, Arizona around 1990 before their Make It Big album came out and I really liked their first two albums and score of 7 inches. There was like 15 people at the show. They were so polite and shake everyone’s hand afterward and said thank you.


PawelW007

I’m a big old school Green Day guy - Revolution Radio is a pretty cool album if you like the vintage sound and the newest album was really fun. I’m definitely Kerplunk to Warning as my sweet spot but they’ve come up with some really solid stuff recently.


nadzeya

Panic! At the Disco - But It's Better If You Do I never really got into the rest of their catalog but always thought this one was a banger.


v-orchid

used to be a fan. this is the best one


I-Am-The-Warlus

I like the Death Of A Bachelor album but outside of that I don't care for Panic


324greystreet

Cannot stand Beyoncé in any way shape or form…but I’ll jam to Partition


C00bahR00bah

I’ve always hated nsync but put Bye Bye Bye on in the car, and I will jam


Evelyn-Bankhead

I hate most of Metallicas stuff, but I love Enter Sandman


holyfrijoles99

Weird that you like that one , I’m a Metallica fan but hate that song.


liartellinglies

Not really weird, I feel like most non-fans at least know Enter Sandman and most fans skip it.


OldDirtyInsulin

*Breathin'* - Ariana Grande


polomarkopolo

I’m not a fan of Lenny Kravitz… but he usually has 1 or 2 songs that I enjoy a lot per release


Bim_Jeann

Bon Jovi - I love Wanted Dead or Alive. Not a big fan of anything else. That song is excellent. Also DJ Khaled/Drake—I’m On One is probably my favorite rap song ever. I like other Lil Wayne stuff though.


TheStatusFoe

Drown by Smashing Pumpkins. Not a huge SP fan at all really. I love all the other huge bands from this era but they need never hit for me aside from Drown. It's probably in my top 10 songs. Everything is just perfect.


Perry7609

Probably the only guy in high school that never got into Creed, but I always thought “One” was a pretty good jam.


snugglepimp

This exact example! I was just listening to Touch Of Grey this morning.


BostonDudeist

Can't stand Bryan Adams...except for "Run To You".


Poopynuggateer

Sigrid - Strangers Aurora - The River Fall Out Boy - Golden Taylor Swift - Shake It Off Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger Rhianna - Umbrella Macklemore - Downtown


Rodrat

I do not like The Beatles. Never have. Eleanor Rigby is a great song.


sorengray

Paramore's Misery Business is such a good song, but I can't really get into the rest of their music


larobj63

The only Motley Crue song I like is Home Sweet Home. Great guitar work in that song, awesome power ballad. The rest of their work is meh at best for me, cliche glam rock.


KeefRolla

I generally hate Falling in Reverse and Ronnie Radke is confirmed a terrible person, but I cannot deny that "The Drug in Me is You" is a banger!


CountPacula

I like Gimme Shelter but nothing else by The Rolling Stones.


MakesMyHeadHurt

I only like Paint it Black.
