bbb Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 It seems to me that even bands that I don't like 99% of what I know, they still have a few songs that I absolutely love. How can that be? I was just listening to Lorelei by Styx and I totally love that, as well as Borrowed Time, but hate just about everything else. Other examples are Lights by Journey, Fly By Night and Closer to the Heart by Rush, Funeral for a Friend/Loves Lie Bleeding and Saturday Night's Alright by Elton (a few others are OK), Fire On High by ELO. I'm sure I'm missing a ton here. Does anybody else have these types of songs and if the group can come up with great stuff, then why does it make so much crap??
GOBILLS78 Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 Hmm... I'll go with: "Late for the Sky" by Jackson Brown I mean, the stuff he wrote for the Eagles was good, but his solo stuff? Eh.
LeviF Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 I don't *hate* Boston, but I suppose they sort of fall into this category. Every time "Hitch A Ride" comes on my shuffling library, I'll listen to it 5 times over. I absolutely love that song.
Rico Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 I would imagine any Dave Matthews Band instrumental is better than the rest of his catalog.
Nanker Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 I dunno. Seems to me there's been a lot of one-hit wonder bands that never did anything else. Then there are a lot of industry-promoted bands that had a hit or two and were mass marketed for the cash cows that they were for the record companies. Emerson, Lake and Palmer Yes Kiss
bbb Posted September 19, 2010 Author Posted September 19, 2010 Hmm... I'll go with: "Late for the Sky" by Jackson Brown I mean, the stuff he wrote for the Eagles was good, but his solo stuff? Eh. The way that I would go on Jackson Brown is that he ever made a song that I liked after the Running on Empty album that is a song I would pick for this thread. I like a lot of his 70s songs - Rednecked Friend being my favorite........But, starting in the 80s, he has been horrible - Lawyers in Love, Down on the Boulevard, She's got to be Somebody's Baby, etc. - horrible stuff!
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I am not a big Rush fan... But there is a certain amount of "naco" in me... How can you hate: Maybe because I am bleeding heart liberal... Heck, it even has "Christmas bells" in it and everything! I also have a soft spot for Sure beats Poco, "Crazy Love.""Crazy Love"... :blush: I posted links... For the young fellas out there...
linksfiend Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I would imagine any Dave Matthews Band instrumental is better than the rest of his catalog. Hate DMB but love "Two Step"
Wooderson Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Hate DMB but love "Two Step" Love DMB...and love Two Step.
Metal Man Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 I would imagine any Dave Matthews Band instrumental is better than the rest of his catalog. +1 Dave Matthews Band would be so much better if Dave Matthews didn't ruin every song by opening his mouth to sing.
