Oasis. I love their music, but I went to see them and a lot of their fans are fucking pricks, in England anyway. Pissing into plastic cups and chucking them over the crowd.

i have to quote my best friend's niece's mini-review of Ys:

"Is this music supposed to make us experience any pleasure at all?"

GangstaFam said:

oh my.

dave matthews looks good in baja pullovers. for my money, he probably looks better than anyone in a baja pullover. and i went to college, so i've seen a lot of people who wore baja pullovers.

Oh I think he's a total hottie but relatively boring musically. Certainly no second coming

i think he has a sexy receding hairline.

i think clay aiken has the most obnoxious fans. they're like a cross between trekkies and precious moment figurine collectors.

I'll say. Don't these brain-dead morons have jobs? My suggestion is to give them the rubber room at Bellevue.

Anx said:

Worse. They believe he's straight

Anx said:

he still has fans?

NorthernLad said:

well, what are claymates doing these days? attending support groups?

Anx said:

Sorry, I just had to. I'm like Pavlov's dog.

do you know whose fans REALLY piss me off???

ANNE MURRAY.

i have got NO TIME for those fuckers.

Prove me wrong! I'm open-minded.

GangstaFam said:

Don't listen to Anx's best friend's niece. She should be locked in a room full of Britney Spears CDs and be done with it.



Seriously, I have already described the 'Ys' album as Björk and Kate Bush going to the Renaissance Faire and afterward recording an album about what they saw.

Oakland Raiders

and that's a pretty good description.

My Kylie venom is only for the benefit of those who keep coming forth with the same ridiculous opinion in opposition 99% of the serious music loving population and keep wondering why they're getting picked on, while all the while force-feeding what THEY like to those around them

Otherwise, truth be known, I really have no strong opinion on Kylie either way, and can only muster the desire to post the opinion that I do to bait you, the same way you bait other artists' fans. So there you have it.

And as I said, nothing you've mentioned approaches the level of obnoxiousness of repeatedly declaring for everyone around you how much you hate something when they already know it and aren't interested in hearing it, because your opinion on the matter has become a cliche unto itself and holds no weight.

Most people are not going to take your "Beatles suck" opinion seriously, so why do you keep wondering about it when they don't?

Neither do I! How are you inferring that? I'm not painting Beatles fans (or the fans of anyone else, for that matter) with a single brush and casting them into the fire.



I don't have any problem with people being passionate about the Beatles, or any other artist for that matter. But I do have a problem with the notion that someone else is inherently inferior for not being passionate about them. All I am saying is that I have come across that attitute more in Beatles fans than any other fan group. Perhaps it's because they have such a large fan group.

Untouchable said:

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure this is the only one.

Tessa said:

How exactly is celebrating an artist in threads equivalent to force-feeding it upon others?



I've tried to avoid commenting on threads that are specifically Beatles-positive. I now try to only comment on threads that are already critical of them. If you don't want to see my opinion, you're free to not read it.



I don't care if my opinion is taken seriously. I'm more interested in why people think it is virtually impossible not to like The Beatles.

Interstingly enough, that same snobbery is going on in here too

michael fuckin jackson fans.

Moonbeam said:

i guess all i have to go by again is my comparison of not liking dylan. i like a lot of really old bowie stuff, which is OBVIOUSLY influenced by dylan...and i GET that...and on whatever level is necessary, i APPRECIATE that...but i still like the old bowie stuff, while at the same time i don't like dylan's music any better. i appreciate his influence, and it makes me think, "well, on some frequency i can't understand, this guy really had an impact on artists i DO like", but after years of TRYING to open my mind to his music, it just honestly and sincerely does nothing for me. even the stuff johnny cash did with dylan, or that was influenced by dylan - love it, but it doesn't make me love bob any more or less.

so i can't really have a passionate hatred for dylan...it's just something that "other people" listen to and love. and that's fine. when people tell me i'm lacking something in not liking his work, i accept that. maybe one day i'll get it when i'm older. maybe not. good for other people for liking it. i'm happy for them. i'm just not in that group. and that's just what it is, i really don't care. why should it matter if the beatles aren't your cuppa even if everyone else seems to adore them? i for one do, but i grew up in a house where my mom played beatles all the time. she was one of those girls you saw on TV screaming and crying at beatle concerts. i was doomed to love the beatles. but i don't mind...to me, it's good music, even if the rest of the world hated them. even if YOU hate them...which you do!

i mean, i guess it all comes down to, we dislike what we dislike, and who really cares as long as we don't have to listen to it when we have a choice to listen to what we like?

Moonbeam said:

I'm not talking about threads, I'm talking about when we lived in the same house. I'm talking about subjecting everyone around you constantly to the music you like, including me and Scott, but then making gagging noises any time someone even mentions the name of someone you hate. You couldn't even sit through a Pink Floyd video that the rest of us were enjoying without making a comment every few seconds about how much you hated them.




That's true. But on the other hand, if you don't want to be ridiculed, then stop being ridiculous. This thread is ridiculous. And was only started to stir up the same kind of shit as always. How are any of these groups of fans more obnoxious than your behavior of shreiking "Zero! Hate It!" every time something you don't like is mentioned or heard?

I don't think anyone has a problem with that. I certainly don't. The problem is that you seem eager to beat everyone over the head with your dislike of them (and anyone else you dislike) to the point where it's merely insulting to those people you're saying it to. There's no point in telling me, your mom, Nathan, Nikki, etc. that you hate the Beatles. We know it. We love them. You're not going to change our minds about it. You're just going to make us think you're an ass, which is what you're acting like when you repeatedly do this.

You don't like when people say that you're stupid for not liking the Beatles. Well, when you keep brining up the fact that you don't like them to everyone around you, it's hard to think that you're not saying that we're stupid. If it wasn't something you expressed so repeatedly and so vehemently, I don't think anyone would care, but it's almost as if you're making a personal attack out of it.

You're a music snob, albeit one with a skewed subject matter, but it's as simple as that. Plus, I think you're being a masochist. You keep telling everyone you know (and anyone else who'll listen) how much you hate the Beatles (and with such passion and conviction), and then you wonder why people turn it back around on you.

Anx said:

I can definitely see the Beatles influence in artists that I like as well, and I respect it. I understand the huge legacy they left and acknowledge their place in history.



My point is quite similar to this. Why should it matter if the Beatles aren't my cuppa to those who love them? I obviously argued my point wholly wrong given the reactions I've been getting from people I respect so much.

oh this is all some personal shit?!


glad to know,
