Confession: I still pretty much like this shit.
Live version from 2001. My first exposure to Rob Zombie and I have to say, I still like it.

@Jarry What? I told you the band name, if you really want to hear it, YouTube is
Tell you what, how about something else, so I don't break my promise but still give you something lovely to listen?
There. Have some ATC.

Something even stronger replaced it by the end of the eighties:

@NedFodder Actually, I liked Ace of Base better when they were called ABBA...

In prior generations, the enjoyable-to-tolerable-song-per-year rate was far, far higher.
Or you're just listening to a shitty choice of genres (because of the disaster of commercial playlists) and the good stuff is elsewhere.

@dkf we know where to get it if you want it
we've got lumps of it round the back

@Karla I had this on NOW 13 (double cassette and was destroyed by a Boots Walkman that was low on batteries).

I saw the following on TV today, and I immediately thought of this thread:
-
I have no fucking idea why I like this. Spartan electronic beat with shit guitar riffs.
-
@El_Heffe Can't listen to Dragula without thinking of Sled Storm.
-
@Dragoon I just think of Jet Set Radio.

Like I said, I was specifically talking about the "pop" genre on top-40. No doubt there are alternative genres today that produce decent stuff.

One violinist. One tenor saxophonist. Many microphones. One take. No effects, loop pedals or overdubs.

which case S&M is 1, Garage is 2, and Load/Reload are 3/4.
What the fuck? No Master of Puppets? No Ride the Lightning? No And Justice For All...?

No justice for no one!
I haven't listened to Metallica in ages, but I think I like And Justice for All… the most. But Ride the Lightning is overrated. Let's face it, Metallica ended with Kill 'Em All. Scratch that. Metallica ended with No Life 'Till Leather!

This YouTuber covering the song made a unicorn using annotations. Nice job.

Same here. Catchy song, sure, and the video sticks in your mind because of this “mall concert” thing in it that she apparently used to do, but I suppose the only real reason I remember it is because I’m the right age.

O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei (Ultra Music)
I’m not sure if I should vote this one up or down. Down for not fitting the first word the thread title, up for fitting the second word, down for fitting the second word, up for being a good choice for the thread as a whole …

Posting this inspired by @Boner’s O-Zone, and mainly to relate a funny story about it. This was a pretty big hit in the Netherlands, and not just among Turks living here. At the height of its success, now-defunct music channel TMF played it with subtitles so everyone would be able to understand what’s actually being sung. As I recall, the week after, it plummeted in the charts :)
-
@Gurth Party on, Gurth!
-
@Boner I like how that video starts with a pretty solid concept (hand-drawing freeze-frames fading into the band members), then ruins it by adding a completely different second concept (the band boarding a plane with magical loudspeakers), then double-ruins it by using about 5 different aircraft to represent the same plane, including one which is the World's Worst CGI.

My Google Play is still mainly stuck in the past century so I took a trip ... no not to Ibizza to take pills ...

Though I have to say that I for one consider Daft Punk to be shit enough for this thread, but also that it doesn’t fit the “like” part of the title.

To quote a Twitter joke I saw a few months ago, when's Mambo #6 finally coming out!?

The song that had millions of Matchbox Twenty fans asking, "who the fuck is Santana? Some old dude?"
-
This mix is only about 3 years old, but the music's quite a bit older. And great!
-
@dkf That Mambo Number 5 track led me right directly into the 1990s swing revival and I realized:

I like the band, but I have no idea what the shit they were on when they wrote this song.

@The_Quiet_One said in Old shit music you like:
today's top-40
Well there's your problem. Popular music these days is "selected", sure, but it's not "selected good stuff". For that, you need to dig a fair bit deeper.
Case in point: This song was never in the top 40, as far as I know. Several of the songs in it weren't, either (though I'm pretty sure at least two of them were, so there's that)

But back on the topic of old shit music I like, let's go with the original shit music I liked as a child: Country (*thunderclaps, dramatic bass notes*)

These are the first two songs I remember being obsessed with.

Yes, I'm aware of that. My point is what used to be top-40 in the old days had far more "good" hits than bad. Yes, there were still some duds, but the frequency of duds was lower than it is today.
-
@The_Quiet_One I think the music industry is at least a little bit to blame for that. Most of the top-40 hits these days are from "musicians" who are popular because of how they look, dress, and dance. As long as some of their songs have a pounding beat and they
singwail like whiny children and/or monotonally talk and then autotune about teen angst or sex or drugs (bonus points for all three), the quality of music doesn't matter.

I aged some 20 years reading part of this topic, how is any of this old? out of my lawn all of you guys

Not like that’s never happened before (for one example).
Unrelated to the above, I was reminded this one also fits this thread when it came up on my iPod the other day:

Don't you just hate it when a dude in a track suit and yellow glasses walks past you with a PS1 controller in his hand and does dance moves behind your back?

The lady singer of Pentatonix — Kirstin Maldonado — reminds me a lot of Melanie C. In this video, anyway.

singwailUgh. ISTM nowadays "good singing" is the more about hitting and loudly sustaining high notes or doing melismas in every phrase, than having a nice melodious voice or being able to carry complex melodious tunes without overdoing it. That takes talent too, you know?
