Music I Can't Tolerate: Pet Peeves Revealed

[pinball1970]

Sam fox was a glamour model in the 1980s. Pretty grim looking back at it. (I will let you Google)
Anyway an attempt to create a British Madonna she got some tracks, a production team, video.... This was the result.
She was quite a smart business woman early doors looking back at her career. That is not was art is supposed to be though.

 

[pinball1970]

This.

 

[pinball1970]

Steven Tin Tin Duffy.

 

[pinball1970]

This kind of sparked the beginning of the end of serious pop music for me

 

[pinball1970]

Garbage.

 

[gmax137]

This kind of sparked the beginning of the end of serious pop music for me

For me, the end came from the confluence of
1: MTV stopped playing music
2: birth of "classic rock" radio
3: reaching my mid 20's

oh, and:
4: the "not classic rock" radio stations playing rap/hip-hop

 

[pinball1970]

More garbage.

 

[gmax137]

Oh, and I detest that auto tune sound. Ugh. Instantly snap the radio off.

Yep. Garbage.

Robot-level Autotune is sort of like refined sugar. I liked it for about a week. That was enough.

My musician friend tells me that everyone uses it. Usually it's subtle enough that only experts can tell. That doesn't bother me. Who knows. maybe it's good.

It is not good. It is taking an inaccurate voice and touching it up. Great voices can be inaccurate but if they really have something then true personality and colour are added. That certain Je n'sais quoi.

 

[pinball1970]

What the hell was "Jack?" Dance? This song is saying forget great 70s music and buy this formulaic dance music instead. Make me some money and I will build a production line of it. It worked for a time sadly.

I would have to disagree, of course it was the talk box Roger used, but he made magic with it.

But yes, autotune is garbage. It's the repetitive nature of it, and lack of creativity.

I like the guitar in Haitian Divorce

 

[DennisN]

I really loathe this one.

Huh. I love it. Did a lap around the block to hear it when it came on the radio.

I should hate this but I don't.

Haha, I've loved that song ever since it was released. Well written and extremely catchy.
And an extra bonus is that it brings back good memories from the 80s for me.

I should add that SAW were the worst thing to ever happen in pop music.

I took me a while to understand what you meant by SAW.
I guess you mean Stock Aitken Waterman?

 

[DennisN]

Really?

Have you considered:





The lyrics have the depth of a plate.

 

[DennisN]

Ska is like reggae without the inclusion and "goodnatureness". As if a bunch of hippie musicians ran out of weed.

...and started using metamphetamines instead .

DO NOT OPEN!

 

[pinball1970]

DO NOT OPEN!

I opened......the horror...

It was like a stereotype, of a 1980s cliché.

 

[pinball1970]

I didn't mind Russ Abbott, he was funny in the 80s. After this was released he was not funny any more.

Here is the version that I prefer:

That looks like a lot more fun!

 

[pinball1970]

See how long it takes people to guess who this is. It's the 80s so it looks and sounds rubbish but the song is not that bad. He sounds a bit like Bowie?

Yes SAW were to music what "The Sun" is to intelligent, investigative journalism.

At least we Europeans know that it is primarily entertaining, the Sun, I mean.

 

[pinball1970]

"The Star" is actually worse. The Sun is for stupid adults, the Star is for stupid teenagers.
Last week I checked the Sun on line because I wanted to make a joke. The story was about Betelgeuse and a Guardian article. The Sun not only had a (half decent) write up, it had a link to a paper in Nature! I almost fell off my stool!

C'mon now. Surely this is a modern parody of 80s music and music videos, right?

Right?

I don't know is it? Poe kicking in?

 

[fresh_42]

Unfortunately, it is not. And I remember that I had to buy a pair of jeans in a shop where they played their music. Horror!

 

[pinball1970]

At least we can look back and laugh.

The Grateful Dead disowned their first album. "We took too much speed" they confessed.

 

[sbrothy]

Stevie (Wonder) was the original for that.

True and ironic. Is there a word for that? If there is I bet it's German.

 

[sbrothy]

It's called Death Metal. I was going to mention that, but nah. Too easy a target.

I like hardcore metal. I don't really care what they're "singing" (read: screaming). I like the energy, that "pissed-off-ness" and the lack of scene-show.
