Anything (music-related) we can ALL agree on? (...or most of us)

[Chip Z'Hoy]

I've tried this thread a couple times before with specific bands and each time was a failure.

I think my initial theory was that everyone liked Queen. Turns out some people don't like Queen.

I was extremely confident that my thesis could be proven with AC/DC. Apparently some people don't like AC/DC! I have no idea how that's even possible. Like, WHAT DO YOU MEAN you don't like AC/DC?

Did I try Cheap Trick? Come on, everybody likes Cheap Trick, right?

Alice? A REPUBLICAN! We all at least like the original Alice Cooper band, right?

Kiss...?

[Chip Z'Hoy]

I was going to suggest the original Van Halen but Dym's going to call them a "cover band" again and I'll flip my lid. Too much lid-flipping these days. VH is off the table.

[daveg]

Hmm. Def Leppard was amazing up to Hysteria?

Lulu sucks

Listening to At. Anger will give u a headache

Use your Illusions should have been 1 album.

Peter Criss was a terrible solo artist

[NineteenEightyFour]

Have never seen any hate for A-ha's Take on Me

[Chip Z'Hoy]

Lulu sucks

Some excellent suggestions, but THIS is something I think we can all get on board with.

There's been an "It's actually not that bad" reevaluation of that album in recent years but I think the vast majority here will still agree that it sucks.

I'm confident we have few, if any, Lulu contrarians.

[GoodJudge]

Queen - generally yes
AC/DC - generally yes
Cheap Trick - 2 good songs and the most punchable face in the music business
Miss - Hahahahaha
Aerosmith - basically it's Reps and Dems, but "ballad era" v "rock era". Even the UN couldn't peacekeep between them.

Can't understand how VH1, Appetite and the first two Crue albums couldn't unite the board in praise though.

[GoodJudge]

At least one.

I have to really be in the mood for it, and obviously I have to re-state "it's not a Metallica album, it's a Lou album with Metallica as his backing band", but as far as 90 minutes (or whatever) of bleak art-noise goes, I've heard worse.

Mick Wall once said he wanted to give it 10/10 in Classic Rock magazine but the editor ordered him to give it 6 or 7 and rewrite the review accordingly.

I can accept "I've heard worse."

[dmbrocker]

I think we can all agree that Winger's cover of "Purple Haze" is a shite song. Whether you like the rest of the album is debatable, but we can all agree Kip had no business ruining a perfectly good Hendrix tune.

[Sleek]

We must all agree on Kiss, right?








....I mean that they are shite?

[HueyRamone]

We must all agree on Kiss, right?

Yes. Except that BlackDiamond is very good.

Kiss are shite every day, but especially on Fridays

[Rocker4Real]

Operation: Mindcrime is a great album.

[roxxxtar]

Christopher Cross - Sailing, is a great song.

[Wiseacre]

Operation: Mindcrime is a great album.

Meh. If you never heard the wall or read 1984

Although the Beatles are nearly universally loved and/or respected you always have a few “they sucked” boneheads.

They were bigger than the Stones (and I never actually bought a Stones ticket or album), but I don’t know if I’ve ever heard anyone say they sucked at least in their better years. Can we all agree they were fantastic at what they did/do and are the quintessential RnR band?

[roxxxtar]

Motley Crue died when Nikki quit shooting heroin.

[Stinky McFister]

Freebird?

KISS Alive?

[LAglamrocker]

Fasterpussy Cat 1987 > Guns N Roses 1987

Slaughter and BulletBoys perfect bands to open Flesh N Blood tour

[Charles Bukaki]

How about the first Badlands album? I don't know if it's universally liked here, but it's got to be close. I've been posting here for 25 years (which boggles my mind, but that's a whole different story) and can't recall this album ever getting any kind of significant hate.

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who never heard it and couldn't care less about that band.

WTF does Lulu mean?
In my mind, Lulu was a British singer, that sang To Sir, With Love. A fantastic song and movie.
What are you even talking about?

Thankfully, I've never heard that.
I will take Lou Reed and Metallica in separate doses...thanks.

I still don't know if I heard it or am getting it confused with The Raven, which Metallica should have played on.

And I listen to Lou Reed somewhat regularly.

I think we all agree that VH3 is garbage. Even the VH diehards.

The original Alice Cooper band is a good call.
Also I remember from some previous thread that most here like Judas Priest at least to some extent. Maybe Sabbath but not all eras - someone hated the Dio "dungeons and dragons" era, others the "stoned out, sludgy, hippie" Ozzy era.

[tooth]

Big fan of Lou Reed, I don't get Metallica & I like Lulu. If you aren't familiar with the albums closer "Junior Dad", take 20 minutes & enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ_VBkd ... rt_radio=1

Master of Puppets is Metallica's best album.

[daveg]

Master of Puppets is Metallica's best album.

Probably is, but I think you'd have a hard time getting a consensus on best album. Same for Van Halen, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden.

[Alessa]

No one here will ever agree on anything.

Oh no u did not just say that. NoI did not Please unalive yoself
