catchy songs by artists you dont like

just wondering how many others get this problem, with artsits you dont like with usual crap stuff, suddenly bring out a song you enjoy, but are annoyed with youself for liking it. I've had that problem a little. But now it's rediculous, the new linking park song, i am turning up whenever it comes on radio, what is happening to me?

Forums: The Bar,

I have this problem as well. Except I decided a while ago that it shouldn't be a problem. I do believe in supporting artists that I like. But sometimes an artist Igenerally like will create a song I hate, and sometimes an artist I hate writes something magic.

Ultimately, I like to think that liking an artist is like liking a genre. It's a rule of thumb for finding music that you like, but it's hardly a guarantee. There is some music I still have to hate on ethical principal (although having said that I can't work out who they'd be), but I'll allow a band I don't like to seduce me with a song.

Perhaps the worst is one of those club remixes or songs which steels a riff that you like, and then destroys it. There is that song which has Joan Jett's I love Rock'n'Roll riff. It gets my hopes up briefly, and then brings me crashing down. That song is only catchy inasmuchas I love the riff.

I hate Ja Rule. I hate him so much. I feel ill when I hear his music. But yet I am mesmerised by his thug lovin' and somehow ended up buying his CD and stalking him on his recent tour here.

i also dislike Ja Rule and Ashanti's music but everytime that song mesmerise comes on Juice i can't help but watch it, i think because i loved that seen in Grease so much.
Also Christina Aguilera i can't stand but i really like her new song 'i am beautiful' or something not sure what it's called but she says that alot in it

I'm no fan of Elemeno P but I really really like that "Everyday's a Saturday" song, and its all cause of Lani's excellent voice singing back-ups!!

i like that song and their other one "fast times in tahoe". good song

Is it Rubicon that sing that song "Call The Captain???"

If so then that is my nomination -

yup

great example

Also "Nil By Mouth" - Blindspott. I like the song better than the band itself.

hmmm....suicide inducing trax, what more could u ask 4??

living dead girl - Rob Zombie

oh, and also before i started loving slipknot..
gently - slipknot

hehe livin dead girl, a fav for some of the woman it seems.

i feel ashamed to admit this but... (here goes)

avril lavigne - sk8er boi i really dont like her music in fact i hate it but that song is really so damn catchy its so annoying but at least i dont know all the words!

me and my boyfriend both know how you feel, what is it with that song, i think maybe i kinda relate to it because my b/f is like the one she describes

that new linkin park song is fucken awesome :). mind telling me why you don't like them?

hmm....catchy song by an artist i dont like, the new one by everclear something rather soccer mom, i think.

//that new linkin park song is fucken awesome
that song is so addictive!!!

// that new linkin park song is fucken awesome

you make me sick

//you make me sick

i like that song! i agree with non breed im going to buy their new album next week when it comes out!

// that song is so addictive!!!

yeah it is!, the parts of the song i really listen for is the soft parts, where the rapper dude is rapping. That for me makes it catchy and makes me want to listen to it, the chorus and the rest isnt really appealing

Linkin Park would be a alright band if they got rid of the rapper & turntables

yeah whatever

//Linkin Park would be a alright band if they got rid of the rapper & turntables

that would be good as their Dj does suck

Young people should not waist their time listenind deep shit!!!

Party Hard - Andre WK
Bongo Song - Safri Duo
One Love - Prodigy
Helter Skelter - The Beatles

Man i can't get that "Take it off"song by The Donnas song out of my head. the chorus is real catchy.

Heh, that's a cool song. I'm not normally one for chick-band-punk and the like, but that song is pretty catchy.

ohh yessss
i love that song so much its so damn catchy!
ever since i heard that song for the first time on channelz ive been wanting to buy their album!

But would it be okay to stop liking a song because of the band? for example me and my friend really hate limp bizkit after Wes left and swore to not like them again. my freind heard their new song, Just Drop Dead without knowing who it was and liked it. wen she found out it was Limp bizket she just automatically hated it. Iz this right or wrong?

Well for that song and band i'd say she did the right thing!
But really its actually quite superficial to like something and when you find out its by a band you are ashamed to like you try to run for the hills. But we all do that.

Superficial's definitly the word, Achilles. Though, I guess, it's always gonna be personal opinion...maybe hearing the song was by LB took all the enjoyment out of listening for the girl. If that were the case, I don't think it would be 'wrong', what IS wrong is when people SAY they hate a song just because of the artist, even though they actualy like the song ("closed-minded" seems to apply)
All that said, if Dolf Datsun was doing a solo ABBA-covers show acapella, I'd go, and ENJOY it, simply because it's Dolf.
So, liking something for who does it (not what it is) works both ways, I suppose.

well if you like a song, and then don't like it because you find out it's by an artist you don't like. Then that;s just wierd.
