Music you hate, then end up liking for a weird reason

[Drakon]

Okay, for example, let's take "Scar Tissue" by the Chili Peppers. I always hated that song--it annoyed me, and was ALWAYS on the radio. And as such, my buddy Turd "The Hammer" Ferguson decided that whenever I was nearby, he'd sing the hell out of it, prompting me to punch him in the arm in such a way that I would hit his nerve and his arm would go numb for a bit. Time passed, and we grew apart, and I moved to Ohio. I heard the song the other day, and kinda liked it, because I remembered the fun I had with my friend.

Anyone else?

This happens to me with The killers quite a bit. Seems like everytime they bring out a new album, i hate the singles that accompany it. I whine and complain. I stop terrified looking strangers in the street and say "Hey, dont you hate that new Killers song!?" but sure enough, whether it takes days, weeks or months i know that it'll end up in the "Guilty Pleasures" playlist of my iPod.

That was my reaction to Hot Fuss and Sam's Town. Love those albums.

[Pulp]

I never cared for Bohemian Rhapsody. I thought it sucked. That was until I saw Wayne's World. The song made a kinda weird sense then.

[AndThePickles]

Almost all of Britney Spears' songs :o

[SsM]

I never cared for Bohemian Rhapsody. I thought it sucked. That was until I saw Wayne's World. The song made a kinda weird sense then. ALot of people don't like Bohemian Rhapsody... but I just like Queen. Yeah, Some of their songs are way overrated and overused but the world is a darker place without Freddie Mercury in it.

[Halcohol]

Nickelback. :( It's kind of an auditory saturation living up here, where they're from. Also, I saw them in concert with Staind and Three Days Grace and it was fantastic, so they're more tolerable to me than to a lot of people.

[SsM]

I like some of NIckelback's old stuff. Only from their first album.. and Their cover of Sir Elton was cool

[The Original Bamfer]

Rihanna. Ugh, I hate her music so much. After I hear her songs a few times, I still hate them. But I start to love them at the same time. I don't understand it... :cmad:

[SsM]

One of rihannas new songs is a ripoff of that chubby kid and his webcam video.

[Halcohol]

Hahaha, I heard that song for the first time the other day and couldn't believe it. So that's what song sampling has been reduced to? Piiiiitiful.

[AndThePickles]

:dry:

That's an actual song called "Dragostea din tei" by O-Zone, the chubby kid just made a video of himself listening to it.

[AndThePickles]

Hey, that song was wildly popular in Europe! I also love it :o

[SsM]

[AndThePickles]

Pssssssh, hater.

[SsM]

Sorry, I wasn't trying to knock your music. I just don't personally like it. I apologize.

[AndThePickles]

Aw, now I feel bad, I'm just messin with you lol. The song is ridiculous and silly, but that's why I enjoy it :o

[SsM]

It's cool, I like some stuff people say is garbage. I just brush it off, you like what you like.

[AndThePickles]

I have VERY eclectic music taste.

[SsM]

Same, my favorite band is Metallica, but I love Ella Fitzgerald and prince and Elvis(both), Elton john, Old School Jackson 5 and Old school MJ. I LOVE anything with good instrumental pieces in it. Basically anything involving a piano.

[AndThePickles]

Ella Fitzgerald and prince , Elton john, Old School Jackson 5 and Old school MJ. I LOVE anything with good instrumental pieces in it. Basically anything involving a piano.

All of these = :heart:

Check out the Dresden Dolls. Thank me later.

[SsM]

All of these = :heart: No love for Metallica? They have some really beautiful instrumentals.

Will do :up:

[AndThePickles]

No love for Metallica? They have some really beautiful instrumentals.

Nope, sorry. I'm not into metal, period. I've heard a couple songs that I like (including some Metallica), but overall I dislike the music genre. Spoons is starting to get really into it so I still have to listen to it plenty :csad:

[SsM]

I like very few metal bands. Metallica and Iron Maiden being my top 2. Anything that's described as metal today is most likely garbage.


I love a good guitar solo though :P

[Nirvana]

Metal = Awesome. :up:

I hated "Crazy B****" by Buckcherry, then I kind of liked it, now I absolutely hate it more than I did before. I really hated a lot of songs by Death Cab for Cutie and Muse, but now I love them both. :up:

[Nirvana]

Oh, and the only Nickelback song I've ever found myself liking (and singing along to everytime it does come on the radio) is "Someday". I hate Nickelback, and I hate everything else by them, but I really like that song.

[Green Lantern]

Oh, and the only Nickelback song I've ever found myself liking (and singing along to everytime it does come on the radio) is "Someday". I hate Nickelback, and I hate everything else by them, but I really like that song.Thats "Animals" for me.

[AndThePickles]

I hated "Crazy B****" by Buckcherry

That song has way too much college-bar sentimental value for me to hate it.

[The Ace of Knaves]

I used to despise "funky house". But then I went to a rave, got bang on the disco biscuits and the rest is history.

[The Chairman]

I hated "Low" when it first came out, but after hearing it a few times at parties and seeing that it got people moving, I grew tolerant enough of it to the point where I can stomach it in that context.

[Drakon]

Low?

[Addendum]

For me, it's Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. I wasn't into grunge when I was in high school, because it seemed half the school thought grunge was the best stuff ever, and the other half thought gangsta rap was the best. I never hated them, I just wasn't going to listen to something because everyone else was.

Then the fads went to other things. In college, I decided to see what the big deal was about. I'm still not sold on Nirvana or Pearl Jam, but AiC and Soundgarden made some good stuff so I've warmed up to them.

[The Apatow Crew]

Low?I could be wrong but i think he's talking about the Kelly Clarkson of the same title. But like i said i could be wrong.


or the song from the rock group called Cracker who had a hit song of the same title.

[The Ace of Knaves]

Low?

He's talking about that Flo Ryder and T-Pain song if i'm not mistaken.

[The Chairman]

Yes.

This is very, very sad.

[Kahoot]

I used to hate everything Oasis coz my big brother played it 24/7

Now I'm almost a bigger fan than he is.

[Obi-Ron]

Okay, for example, let's take "Scar Tissue" by the Chili Peppers. I always hated that song--it annoyed me, and was ALWAYS on the radio. And as such, my buddy Turd "The Hammer" Ferguson decided that whenever I was nearby, he'd sing the hell out of it, prompting me to punch him in the arm in such a way that I would hit his nerve and his arm would go numb for a bit. Time passed, and we grew apart, and I moved to Ohio. I heard the song the other day, and kinda liked it, because I remembered the fun I had with my friend.

Anyone else?

Why would someone called "Turd Ferguson" need another nickname?
And how can you hate Scar Tissue?

None of this adds up. :cmad:

[ComicChick]

i used to hate the Single Ladies song, now it gets stuck in my head at work :mad: :(

[TheMinorThird]

I wasn't particularly fond of "The Party" by Justice, but it grew on me after a while. Also I would have to include any contemporary generic hip hop songs that I can't name off the top of my head. "Day of the Baphomets" by The Mars Volta would fit in there as well; wasn't quite ready for the bongo solo.

[lou2099]

I depised Alanis Morissette when she first hit big with her angry folk rock. Now I think she is the best thing since sliced bread.

And Macy Gray, while not on par with Alanis, also grew on me. She has a ghetto charm.

[lou2099]

double post

[Captain_BluTac]

I hated that Paper Planes song by MIA when it first came out, but I heard it again like 2 weeks ago and now I LOVE it, also anything by Katy Perry, her music is the kind that drags you kicking and screaming into liking it.

[The Apatow Crew]

Yes.My bad.
Didn't know so many liked the song.

[OctaviousINC]

I hated that Paper Planes song by MIA when it first came out, but I heard it again like 2 weeks ago and now I LOVE it

Haha. Same here. It's strangely catchy.

[Carcharodon]

Lots of songs that Danny Elfman makes, like in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," and, "The Nightmare Before Christmas." I never hated them necessarily, but lately my appreciation for them has grown tremendously to the point where I listen to them online regularly.

Along that vein, that new "Nightmare" album where artists would cover songs from the movie...I hated a LOT of them at first only to come to love them. Particularly the acoustic guitar version of Oogie Boogie's Song.

[ComicChick]

i used to really dislike Paramore, now i think they're ok. i actually really like some of their songs.

weird.

[Lucy in the sky]

I hate Kid Rock, but like his new song...

[JP]

Anything by Rhianna or Brit Brit.

[Holiday]

I hate Kid Rock, but like his new song...

All Summer Long? That song is garbage. Listen to Werewolves of London instead. Or Sweet Home Alabama. Either one is better.

I tend to hate most popular songs when they first come out but then end up liking them later. It use to happen to me with rap quite often.

[[A]]

Yeah, the 2nd time Kid Rock makes a song using another one (2nd time I noticed it--he probably did it more than twice)

[Lucy in the sky]

The song reminded me of those and I was pissed off, but I do like those songs and it being an amalgam made All Summer Long passable to me .

[04nbod]

busted- you said no

:cmad:

[Prison Mike]

At first I didn't care for Coldplay but my brother liked it. They were pretty unknown back then. But after listening to a few songs over and over again, I started to like them. Now I listen to their songs a lot and my brother doesn't care for them. lol

[Holiday]

Whenever I first hear the song I'm thinking it's Werewolves but when I realize it's not I get pissed and switch radio stations. I refuse to listen to it. He's just recycling two good songs for this generation.

You should check Joe Satriani :hehe:
