Songs you like by bands you don't.

[*michaelsean*]

I don't even know if this is a topic, but I'm bored.

I don't like ZZ Topp. I don't know why, but they just don't do anything for me. However, I really like "Just Got Paid". I like it a lot, and I can't figure out why I like that song and none others. (That are on the radio. That's all of their songs I know.) Does it have a different sound than their other songs? I don't know.

Rockstar by the dreaded Nickleback

Just Got Paid harkens back to the blues infused origins of the band.  Chances are, if you like that song, you'll like some of the deeper tracks from that era.


I'll go with two songs.....Wanted Dead or Alive and Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi.

Two that instantly popped into my head when he said that.....add "Blue Jean Blues", "Just Got Back from Baby's", "Brown Sugar", "Certified Blues", "Francine", "Hot, Blue, and Righteous", "Sheik", "Thunderbird", "Balinese", "Backdoor Medley", "Mexican Blackbird", so many good ones early on.....

Basically, you want this:

[Tiger Teeth]

Believe it or not, I don't really like The Stones. But I love "Sympathy For The Devil".

[BengalsRocker]

Kanye West - Heartless

Preferably covered by someone else.

Can't stand him or the rest of his music.

Luke Bryan - Drink A Beer

Same story. Better by someone else and can't stand his music.

Probably because it was written by Chris Stapleton.

Luke Bryan has probably some of the worst most shallow music out there today.

Not a fan of Bon Jovi either, but I'll go with the Runaway song.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check them out on my daughter's Spotify Prime when she comes home for fall break.

Yeah man....check the track listing from "The Six Pack".....or "One Foot in the Blues"

Friend of the Devil by the Grateful Dead

[Donnyho]

"Farmhouse" - Phish

But, I don't know if I "don't like" Phish, though.  I'm at least "extremely disinterested".

Teenage Dream by Katie Perry...

You heard me.

I was just thinking this song by Luke Bryan.  Love the song and didn't know it was written by Stapleton. That makes it even better in my book. 

There's a couple songs from Kenny Chesney that I really like, but I can't stand modern country.  "Went Out Last Night" and "Boys of Fall" and "Somewhere With You" are 3 of my favorites of his.

For some reason i have his album Road and the Radio...there are a couple of decent tunes on there.  In a Small Town I like and Tequila Loves Me is a bit of a catchy tune...Jimmy Buffet t-esque.

Don't know if this is at the top of my list, but I ran across it today. Freedom by George Michael. The rest of his stuff is like nails on the chalkboard to me, but I've always liked this song.

[BengalsRocker]

Slipknot - Duality





Slipknot just ain't my cup of tea in general.  Stupid masks and shit.

I prefer Corey in Stone Sour.  "epidemic of the mannequins" what a classic line from this song.




Most people know this one.

[*bfine32*]

Not a big fan of the Police. I'd rather take a butt whipping than listen to Da De De Do Da Da Da Da, but I always liked Don't Stand So Close To Me.

at Live Aid (80s) he did Elton John's dont let the sun go down with elton playing piano.  he did a great job on that.  he had a good voice but his music never apealed to me either.
