glam rock hamhock posted:REM, like U2, is one of those bands that used to be the coolest thing in the world and now are sort of the lamest thing in the world. As I write this, I am putting a bar of soap in a sock and looking for a convenient dark alley near where you live. When I was younger I loved US and REM. Now (a good 20! years on) my ardour for U2 has almost entirely diminished (I can't recall the last time I actively sought out a U2 song), but I still listen to REM all the loving time, because they are great. That's not to say that they don't have some annoying songs (which tend to be the ones which are best known) but they have so many which are still just brilliant. So you shut your whore mouth!

U2 is my designated "band I irrationally hate". I don't like any of their songs, I don't like their sound, I don't like Bono in the slightest, I don't even like their album names. Or the band name in general. They are terrible.

U2 was decent up until 1997's Pop. It was the last album that truly felt like they were pushing their boundaries. The turning point for U2 was their first signed after Pop, The Sweetest Thing. It was included on their Greatest Hits of the eighties album and marketed as a lost deep cut from that era, despite sounding like the late 90s trite that it was.

The best U2 song is a parody of U2's songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhTMVQuGAdw Also Dickeye's probably thinking of REM's Man on the Moon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hKSYgOGtos Also add me to the club of people who realized movies could be bad thanks to The Master of Disguise and jesus wow that brownface, I totally forgot that was in that movie.

And it was. I'm inside a snake, help. Is it a pink snake with one eye? I think that there is a lot of good music in U2 up to Achtung Baby; I just don't really want to listen to it anymore. I also used to like Manic Street Preachers, and now I can't imagine what I liked in their music.

I'm not really speaking of the quality of U2 or REM's music, more if they are cool or lame. U2 is definitely the lamer one, with Bono's Bononess, the light adult contemporary feel of their later albums and the whole Apple thing. They also used to be the far bigger of the two and really as hard as it is to remember they were one of the bigger and cooler bands in the world REM have just sort of faded. The problem with being the original college rock band is that your base grows up and you either keep trying to push the same thing your entire life like Weezer or you just become less and less relevant until your just sort of a hit of nostalgia for your former audience. Like I'm not saying REM are bad, just lame. Like, the song they have that has stayed most used is "The End of the World as We Know It" which these days thanks to its insane on the nose and also often unaware overuse carries all the coolness and weight of All-Star.

And as their career progressed so did the music, from album to album; they didn't stay still. Some albums are better than others but every one has at least a few outstanding songs. PS Don't think your back-pedaling is going to save you from a soapy-sock beating. glam rock hamhock posted:And we now have a woman that has never experienced a public school in her life, never been involved in education on a professional level, hates teacher's unions, loves charter schools and thinks bear attacks are problems in schools as the US education Secretary.

I had a roommate in college who didn't understand piracy and had a Coheed and Cambria album which was the only album he owned and he played it on repeat constantly. I will never give Coheed and Cambria a fair shake, ever, gently caress them.

I just thought TV had come really far since the 60s. Exact same with me. I used to watch it I when I was 10 or so and just make fun of it to no end. I distinctly remember the sense of intellectual superiority I felt when I'd point out the cheesy lines and ridiculous scenarios. It's funny what maturity and experience does to one's perspective.

While I liked Coheed at the time, I had friends that played the albums non stop, repeating the same song over and over again at times. When whatever album came out that had Gravediggers and Gunslingers on it a buddy of mine blasted the opening 30 seconds of the song over and over again.
