They sold their souls for rock and roll. (page 2)

Well, I can't even make the bands I dislike the most fit my own scenario. Like, say, 311--utter tripe: every song, every note, full stop.

I don't seem to have sufficient priveleges to update my bio on this site, but I'm in my early 30's.

littlerockguy: I don't dislike that Stevie Wonder song (never heard it before that I recall), but it just doesn't do anything for me on the first listen-through, whereas Superstition really gets me going--I have to sing along!

So, nobody's experienced the original scenario I described, eh?

EDIT:

it's_me!, I had to look up Cracker's Low, but I remember it now. It's OK to me, not a favorite though, but I gotcha. I liked Silverchair for about a week, and have hated them since--not logical, but there it is. Did they ever have any hit songs outside their (I believe) native Australia, other than that song about the water in the bathroom?

AF's taste in music and mine are pretty close I imagine, and I think he's right about the Eagles. I use to love the Eagles but slowly over time the only song of theirs that I can really stomach is Hotel California.

Stevie Wonder's Superstition is a badass track. It just oozes funk. Even us white boys can get it.

Hey AF, you remember Johnny Mac? When me and him worked at Wal-Mart at night 20 odd years ago he would let me listen to his old vinyl when we got off work. He'd make espresso and we would chill out on his back porch. Although my taste normally run to heavier sounds in rock, some of the stuff he had was pretty good. I never liked America very much but still get a smile when I hear Ventura Highway.

By the way beks, why don't I ever see your pic in the photo threads? Just wondering.

LOL, ohhhhh mercy. I do believe I remember driving along singing to Loverboy at some point.

its_me!

I love "Superstition"! I don't just sing, I have to dance too!

There were several songs that I liked alot about Silverchair. Many of my favorites were never released on the radio. One was called "Shade", another was called "Suicidal Dream", (a little dark, I know, but everyone has a dark side!)

Higher Ground by Stevie is really good as well.

Oh, and by the way, I am in my mid to late twenties, so that is all from my teenage yrs. But I still really like alot of the stuff!!!

Never liked Heart but the riff for Barricuda is wonderful.
