I've always thought that criticizing another's musical taste is extremely odd.
Maybe I'm just not much into appreciating the finer details of music, as much as I love it.
 
I had the displeasure of watching kings of leon live.. At least Foo Fighters wasn't that bad, although just completely forgettable and boring.

Mmm, exactly. That's the worst thing about Foo Fighters and The Killers. They're just bland. They're not good, they're not so bad you really remember. They're just boring as fuck.

Saw Foos at Reading in August and for such loud music I just can't believe how bored I was.

There's just too much subjectivity in it

Genres, technical skill, influences, rawness, production. The spectrum is too wide for one opinion to be backed up more than another.

Fims and games on the other hand, its easy to pinpoint why a game is bad/good, and why certain criticisms/compliments(?) are unfounded

For instance, I appreciate the technical skill of Jimmy Page's work with Led Zeppelin. I don't enjoy it though. If I could compare it to something in games, it'd be artstyle. Some I like, some I don't. Either way, you'd have to be an idiot to try and convince someone that their opinion of it is wrong

Can't get my head around it. And you call me weird.

You are weird. You think a hairy man playing guitar very loud with no skill in song writing is fantastic. You think Claire Danes screeching for an hour every week is fantastic. You think the two biggest bottlers in football history are fantastic.

You. Are. Weird.

Pretty much.

People in this thread just can't resist hyperbole any time music comes up.

Robben and...

Gomez? Schweinsteiger?
 
Last memorable act I saw live was MSTRKRFT.

Shit was nuts. The DJ booth was the front end of a semi-truck inside and there was a bus that you could also sit in and get drinks.

Then there was Wiz Khalfia, that was tight. Lotta weed smoke on UM campus.

:lol

Nah see, this gif is just me attention seeking and playing up to an online persona. I'm not so weird in real life. I think.

Bayern and Liverpool. There's always next year, Hitch.

I share this view too, but in a few ways I feel as though I am missing something, as if I can't even explain why I like the music I do, due to a lack of musical understanding.
 
He had a 50% yearly wage rise, cost £120m to sign from Man Utd (he only joined because I gave him his international debut when I managed England).

Holy shit, that's nutty. His actual striker stats are only above average.. how is that even possible to score so many goals?!

The Killers are definitely one of the best bands to debut in the aughts. Fantastic live too.

TAYLOR GANG.

Listening to Lupe at the mo. So. Damn. Smooth.
 
So, who do you think will go through in the CL: Paris or Valencia ?

Then tell me... you go into a rock concert expecting excellent lyrics? That's what ticks you off? Foo Fighters are great at doing what they aim for, if you don't enjoy it, don't call them a shit band. They aren't.

Didn't you tell me you hadn't even watched Homeland yet? What the fuck is this?

Robben was fantastic, and I still support him because I think he can still do a job with a Bayern shirt on. He has many things conspiring against him, but I won't give up on him.

Sorry but your arguments are coming out of your mouth with nothing to back them up. You're just talking out of your arse.

Song writing is not the same as lyricism
 
This is probably the first thing you've ever said which taints you super-cool image.

Nobody's perfect I guess.

Lolllllllll. Don't get me wrong I got all his tapes and albums, but recently his message and Whoopi Goldberg-esque appearance are deterrents. Earlier shit > than newer stuff. I did like the experimental shit on Enemy of the State though and his last album was good for about half the album.

PSG, probably. Marginally, because Valencia have improved as the season's gone on, but yeah PSG.

I went to a festival expecting to gain enjoyment from the bands there. I didn't enjoy the band. Song writing isn't just about the lyrics, but the same fucking bland riff over and over again coupled with average lyrics just isn't my bag. Bob Dylan might play a thousand songs with the same riffs but have incredible word play. Radiohead might have some opaque lyrics sometimes but be absolutely ingenious musically. Foo Fighters just play what equates to noise in my head. If I don't enjoy it I'm perfectly entitled to call them a shit band, just the same as if you don't agree with my taste you can call it shit if you want.

Blitzed through the first season recently, enjoyed it a little. Watched 4/5 episodes of season two and its dire.

Was talking about your teams, but this is odd. What's conspiring against him? His injury record? Get better doctors. The capacity to act like a bottling cunt every time he's on the pitch? He should grow up. Don't give up on players for your teams, but... yeah. He's a bottler.
