As long as I enjoy the song, I don't care about any of that other stuff; I do not look down my nose at anything and I've got no rules that a song has to follow.
I'd likely enjoy many songs that you hate and vice versa. It's all good!
What I really hate about some music
When I listen to music, there are four things that I really bothers me and was wondering if there are others who feel the same way about songs just as strongly as I do. I don't like feeling this way but when I hear these things, I just want to turn the music off and I'm not sure why the song writer doesn't realize he probably has a dud and not a hit. Here they are:
1. When a song writer finds a catchy phrase and the singer repeats the line three times in a row and then a stanza later, here it comes again repeated all three times and this just keeps going on and on.
2. Very similar to the above, a writer writes a real good line of music and then makes the whole song a repeat or variation of this line of music and has no imagination to add a little something in-between.
3. Singers who can't really sing well and think they can but get such really great score of music behind them that if a really good singer sang the song it would be wonderful to listen to. Please understand that carrying a tune to me doesn't make a good singer and I'm not talking about karoke singers here either.
4. Rhyming in a melody.... Please you can predict what the next line of the song is going to be before it is sang because it rhymes with the last line just sang...

@rar1 - "That's alls I can stands and I can't stands no more!".... 😁 |
@frankmc195 - Definitely agree, though I'm 71 and an exception there, as I never much liked jazz when I was younger and I still don't. Ironically enough, I was really into blues as a teenager but lost my interest as I got older and into my 20's. I am very badly behind on catching up with new music as the publication I used to depend on for info went bust a few years ago, but I mostly like indie rock, reggae, some metal and some regular pop and rock (and the Grateful Dead!), but I don't stray much past that.... |
@frankmc195 - thank you for the recommendation - that IS a cool name; I shall check it out!! |
@frankmc195 - that does sound more like a band name, as well as being the road in central London famous for the bookshops there. I'll still check 'em out... I live in San Francisco, and I do not like 'I Left My Heart In San Francisco' 🤣🤣 To me, it's maudlin pap (even when sung by the great Tony Bennett), which SF most certainly isn't. Right down there with 'Lights' by Journey. I prefer the more lusty 'San Francisco, Open Your Golden Gate' - that song sounds like a party! |
