    Songs you love from bands you dislike.

    I simply don't get the ultra-hate Nickelback get. I mean, their music does absolutely zero for me and I think they're absolutely mundane... but does that justify the amount of vitriol? If the guys were douchebags, I'd get it... but even regarding that aspect I never read any of them saying...

    Songs you love from bands you dislike.

    Lady Gaga - Applause: Like many on this board I'm borderline allergic to Lady Gaga. That being said I must admit I honestly love this tune. Why? don't know... By all means it comes to me as a by the numbers Power Pop tune and the lyrics are far from compelling. Yet, still I love the damned thing...

    Sorry... I didn't notice there was already an opened topic like this.

    Songs you like by bands/artists you don't like

    Slipknot - Custer: I'm not a Slipknot fan nor have I ever been (far from it). To be quite honest most of their material even come to me has irritating. And yes, I've kind of dig some of their past tunes (like Sic, People = Shit, Disasterpiece or Before I Forget) but it was along the lines of...

    Yeah... We all have those. Unless you're stubborn as a mule or trying to pretend in order to look cool among your inner circle of friends who share roughly the same likes/ dislikes there's always that one track from a band you're not fond of that comes as an absolute - and pleasant - surprise...

    Your ultimate reunion album

    If it has to be 1 album only... I think I'd go with something like this: The Wicker Man These Colors Don't Run For The Greater Good Of God Montségur Rainmaker The Book Of Souls Stratego The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg The Writing On The Wall The Talisman When The Wild Wind Blows

    What is new Alexander the Great?

    Although I'm not the biggest fan of it, Empire of the Clouds is a blatant candidate. It's got lots of fans and is a truly unusual and - dare I say - standout tune. When it comes to earlier stuff, I think Only The Good Die Young and The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner (although the latter...

    Best NON METAL album from each year (last 60 years).

    Love these... I'm not even a Dire Straits fan but those two songs from BIA alone are worth it. Money for nothing as far as I'm concerned has probably the best drum intro and guitar riff in rock I've ever listened to.

    Best NON METAL album from each year (last 60 years).

    I like some of their tracks (especially Hell You Call A Dream). Great performers, especially Dani (monster of a voice!) I still remember the first time I saw them on YT playing "Kickstart My Heart" and recall being absolutely dumbfounded by the shortened cover. The trio was excellent but once...

    Best NON METAL album from each year (last 60 years).

    Nor did you have to... The one you posted is already impressive as hell. Yeah, that´s what I was alluding to with the aforementioned disambiguation. It varies and to each his own. I personally think AFD is much closer to 70's Hard Rock of Aerosmith and Zeppelin than to Motley Crue or stuff like...
