Then I read an interview with Thom Yorke and he said that it's not an easy album and that you have to listen to it 7 or 8 times or something, so I gave it another chance and I'm glad I did because most songs grew on me and there are some fantastic songs on it. But each to their own. That would explain why I never fully got into it. I quit after something like 3 listens. I'm sure it's a great album, it just never worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I understand that people don’t like hair bands like Crue, etc. but hair bands were absolutely NEVER critically acclaimed. I will never understand the worship and reverence of Nirvana. They were no fuckin different than your average rock band of the early 90s, except for Cobain pretending he wasn’t a sell out. I’ve ranted about this on here many times before, so I won’t go into my usual diatribe. But I hate them with every fuckin thing I’ve got. oh and Rush too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add Kendrick Lamar to the list though, dude gets tons of critical praise but I've never heard a song of his that was actually good (and I've given him a chance, not just listened to 1 or 2 tracks).

I'm with you on Kendrick. He does have a song here and there I can get into, but for for all the goat/legend/2nd coming talk, no, not even close. Way overhyped. Most of his stuff bores me to death.

I'm glad I stuck with it though, because now almost twenty years later most of those songs still sound fresh and that record aged extremely well... I still hear something new every time I listen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was something in that music that spoke to a lot of people, evidently not to everyone. It wasn't that they were so unique or different, because they weren't, but there was an energy or something in the music, and many kids could relate to that. Of course they were overrated, especially after Cobain blew his brains out, but that doesn't mean many kids weren't drawn to that band. And they had some good tunes, too.

action Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) led zeppelin - there are some great rock songs (rock n roll, the ocean, immigrant song, heartbreaker, black dog, trampled underfoot, in the evening,...), but there is too much folk / fantasy to detract from the experience. too many songs sound convoluted and....difficult? there is not enough fun and "drive". I just can't play these albums in my car. Queen is like led zeppelin, but with tons of fun added. zeppelin take themselves far too serious. freddie is a more enjoyable singer than plant. Imagine freddie fronting zeppelin. best of both worlds. anything in the Muse / radiohead department. fucking hate that music.

DieselDaisy Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) If I liked poodle-haired Midlanders with vegetables stuffed down their jeans ripping off Howlin' Wolf, I'd certainly be a Led Zeppelin fan. Radiohead is studenty bum-fluff shite. Edited April 7, 2018 by DieselDaisy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I do not like Nirvana much either but they do not quite produce the same amount of vitriol in me as U2 and Radiohead do, so I'll give them a reprieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis was heard before he was seen, it was the voice what sold people on Elvis, I mean fuck me early doors a lot of people didnt even know if he was white or black.
