Songs you like that just don't fit...

Sun Jul 19, 2009 6:20 am

We've all got them, what songs do you guys like that really don't fit in the general scheme of your music tastes?

I'm into alot of heavier stuff but I really love Fade Into You by Mazzy Star, it's pretty much the exact opposite of almost all of my other music. Also anything from Matchbox 20's first CD and a few Hootie & The Blowfish songs.

Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen, the entire album. I dont like their other albums and there is nothing like those songs in the rest of my library.

Not well into those mushy love songs but I fond some David Gates and Bread stuff...

AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Stratovarius. I'm not at all into metal/hard rock at all but I do like those bands a lot, for some reason. Most of my friends are surprised when they see those bands next to stuff like Simon & Garfunkel, Ben Harper, Blind Melon or pretty much any other band I listen to. Then again, most of them listen to crappy techno so I always have a comeback ready.

I mostly listen to brutal stuff but I do enjoy Ben Harper quite a lot. "Burn One Down" is probably the coolest weed-related song out there.

As much as I don't like guitars, from this day has always been a cool song to me. I think the bands name is something with machine and head, but don't quote me on that.

Machine Head maybe?

You were helping me. So that's cool.

I have songs by artists like Lykee Li and Amy Winehouse. They don't really go well with the rest of my music.

I absolutely loooove Coldplay. Seriously. :oops:

I'm quite into Indie Pop and Folk Music, but also quite like Gnarls Barkley.

Re: Songs you like that just don't fit...

I also really like Gnarls Barkley and other neo-soul bands like JJ Grey & MOFRO. Another band that I really like and doesn't fit with the rest of my music is Eric Lindell.

Re: Songs you like that just don't fit...

Some songs by Gnarls Barkley, David Guetta and Manafest Feat. Justin Humes - Don't Turn Away (I listen his songs, but this one is rock or something like that). Since I listen only rap, hip-hop and a bit of R&B, these songs really don't fit.

I'm more of the Hip-Hop/R&B junkie, so I guess Green Day is the odd one out on my mp3. Plus I don't mind listening to some old Beatles records every now and then. I also really like the song "I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw.

Re: Songs you like that just don't fit...

I'm more into indie music, and yet I'm into bands such as Deerhunter, Grizzly Bear and Pavement. Its just odd that I like the song "Visiting Friends" by Animal Collective, despite my distaste for top 40 hits.

Re: Songs you like that just don't fit...

Wed Jul 22, 2009 12:55 pm

I usually listen to Hip-Hop and R&B, but I love The Eagles. Pretty old and odd actually. :oops:

Hotel California is as epic as Bohemian Rhapsody me thinks

Add Stairway to Heaven in that category.

I never get where people come from with the whole "Since it's popular, I can't like it" sort of thing. It just never made sense to group everything that's popular as bad, as a core philosophy?

That post was double irony. The bands and songs I listed are very indie, and irony is a staple of indie culture.

im into drowning pool, A7X, korn etc.. but i listen to micheal buble :cheeky:

Re: Songs you like that just don't fit...

Micheal buble actually sings. While not relaying on a computer to make him sound good.
And he doesn't beat his wife like Old Blue Eyes did.
