Music you loved but makes you shudder now.

[e@rs]

Didn't run into this issue yet. I used to love stuff like 2 Unlimited, DJ Bobo, Masterboy and East 17. 25 years later and I still do.

Apparently my taste in music doesn't change. It only expands.

[Boardwalk]

Dunno. ABBA wasn't that bad.
In comparison: the Angelic Upstarts (wots in a name?) with 'Taking Guns To Afghanistan'.
But hey.. this was in the days where punk got commercial lol

Anything I made before 2015.

Me at 15 / 1970 w/Rod Stewart/Humble Pie, English 'shag' haircut.



I don`t regret the haircut or trending with the English rockers at that time. I also listened to Grand Funk Railroad heavily.
I have to admit that GFR was a perfect band to copy for practice if just learning drums or bass guitar as my drummer friend and I did.
A few years later, no longer GFR listeners, my friend and I decided to finally just go see them since we both spent so much time rehearsing their songs as practice.
Well, not more then 3 songs into the concert we grimaced at one another and walked out.
I still think the 1st two albums are raw and noteworthy rock records.

There was a very short period in `73 when I really liked this Sergio Mendes record "Love Music". It was Brazilian jazz of sorts...I listened to a lot of jazz then, but this sound was way too mainstream compared to everything else I liked. I think I just wanted to phuck those two singer chicks.

That`s about it. There aren't any other bands I like[d] which make me scratch my head ...'cause I have such impeccable taste you see!

I spent too much money on Drum'n'Bass platters at the end of the 90's, which I regret now

Roni Size

By that time the genre had become stale and rather shite

D n' B is a hollow, dead shell of a genre now. It's almost become a parody of itself now really.

Ugh! Roni Size.

Personally, I don't regret my experience with Dark D&B, I still love those 90's tunes. However, what was belched out beyond that was a pale shadow of a terrible commercial nonsense (IMO).

Now the music lacks any musicality and it sounds very similer. Once music get to the masses it dies.

[waiting man]

I could write about metal, death and prog metal...but it's a cliche of adolescence.

Instead, few years before I spent alotta money to see U2 live, Poorope tour. You know, "numb" and all that stuff. Damn.

The only actually good things were Pearl Jam supporting and a chick from Brasil dancing all the time in the front row.

[Numanoid]

I almost bought the first Scooter release, just goes to show how starved I was for sounds and how difficult it was to get hold of electronic music releases where I lived at that time

Had I found them second hand now though, I think I would buy Hyper Hyper for a trip down memory lane

I wouldn't worry, there's much worse.. millions listen to Die Antwoord for example lol.

..and why should you, you looked great

That was a very nice thing to say Numanoid. Thanks very much!
There were only a few of us English(style)rockers at my American high school in 1970.We all had our hair cut by a fellow rocker's hairstylist Father who somehow learned the shag cut. I guess he learned it from looking at pictures of Rod Stewart with the 'Faces'

[DocAtlas]

I can't think of anything I liked in the past but can't stand to hear now. For me, it's somewhat the opposite; I've grown to like some things I hated then. Two examples were Elton John and Simon & Garfunkel. I think the problem was having a friend who played those two artists' albums constantly; I got very sick of them. Now I can sit back and enjoy the songs.

There are some things from my youth that I still can't say that I like, but there is a sense of nostalgia about them that is rather appealing. I think I associate them with some pleasant memories (which I guess is a little weird, since I don't care much for the songs themselves). Most of these songs are Country. My father listened to a lot of that kind of stuff, so even though the songs aren't my cup of tea, I do associate them with good times spent with him.

I wish I could have looked more like that. My hair (when I had it) was a mess. Being born two people meant having one side of my hair laying flat and the other with cowlicks galore. Hairspray? Never did a thing. Good riddance!

[incubus]

Phony as monopoly money.

and you don't like rap.. don't you know? bullshit is the new honesty

if you're any more honest they'll say you threatened hovmod's children.

Hovmod has children. Wow. There really is no god.

[incubus]

Hmm... Definitely Iron Maiden.

Man you'll get muted for such blasphemy.

He's going through "that phase"

The one where he dismisses everything he used to like and then when he gets to about.....40.....he'll realize it's fine to like all of it again. How else do you explain metal to tiesto to "whatever doesn't have distorted guitar"
