June 15, 200719 yr Who are the bands and artists that just can't be put down. Who are the artists/band's you have to be deaf to not like? At the same time, feel free to argue against a band's/artist's place on this list. I'll go ahead and get this one out of the way: Led Zeppelin - Even if it isn't your style, you've got to appreciate the collective work of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and the late, great John Bonham.
June 15, 200719 yr Prejudice as I am everyone has to love Bruce whether its his voice or the songs he writes for other artists. He touches your soul and sounds out what its like to grow up in a middle class lifestyle where there is no rich or poor or black or white there is just each other
June 15, 200719 yr The Eagles - The all-American band. They cross a lot of different genres, and do them all well. :ylsuper:
June 15, 200719 yr Author I feel no obligation to like the Eagles ... Well, let's hear it...why don't you like them?
June 15, 200719 yr Well, let's hear it...why don't you like them? Ummm ... I just think they suck. Mostly because I find Don Henley to be insufferable. There were a handful of tunes that I don't mind, but I can do without the whole package.
June 15, 200719 yr Maybe the Eagles were ahead of their time (although that is arguable), but the bands that have come after them have improved on their style. Their music does not excite me at all.
June 15, 200719 yr For the last 7 years or so I have a hard time taking Jack Johnson out of the CD player. Enjoying Brushfire Fairytales today...
June 15, 200719 yr Maybe the Eagles were ahead of their time (although that is arguable), but the bands that have come after them have improved on their style. Their music does not excite me at all. They were not even close to ahead of their time. More like they ripped off a whole bunch of others before them who should've benefited from the Eagles' popularity.
June 15, 200719 yr I feel no obligation to like the Eagles ... That's because they are actually GOOD! :ylsuper:
June 15, 200719 yr They were not even close to ahead of their time. More like they ripped off a whole bunch of others before them who should've benefited from the Eagles' popularity. Totally off-base! Don't let a bias toward obscure, little heard of bands cloud your judgment. The Eagles are one of the greatest American bands of all time. They defined a sound, and wrote some amazing songs. Not a bad one in the bunch! :ylsuper:
June 15, 200719 yr Well, let's hear it...why don't you like them? Because you've heard of them. It's not cool to like bands other people have heard of.:sssh:
June 15, 200719 yr Pink Floyd is my first pick, sheer musical genius. Very thought provoking lyrics, unadulterated exceptional talent that is second to none, maybe equal in talent to Zep.
