OGTEleven Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I think Smashing Pumpkins were pretty good. They probably aren't in my top 50 though. I find their song Tonight, Tonight cool but the drumming in it is outstanding, amazing or whatever other superlative. It might not be the hardest song ever played on drums but it makes the song and has a sound I find different in a good way. Do you have songs or solos by non-favorites that you love?

Rico Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I think Journey is absolute garbage, maybe the worst band I've ever seen (opening for the Stones at Rich 1981). I always did like the way Feeling That Way goes into Anytime on the Infinity album though. Helps that there's very little Steve Perry on those 2 songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I cannot stand George Thorogood, but his rendition of "Who Do You Love?" is solid. It's the only Thorogood song that I won't immediately turn off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on Smashing Pumpkins. Cherub Rock is their song that I like. Everything else I could take or leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not really making a case with this one either, ha. Not saying he’s not a talented writer/musician, he obviously is, I just can’t. On topic, someone above mentioned Springsteen. Don’t care for him whatsoever, but I do respect the fact that he plays for multiple hours at his live shows, gives his fans their $$ worth. I can get down with “Born To Run”, great hook. Not a Skynyrd fan either, but “Gimme Back My Bullets” is a stone cold jam. Hmm... who else...oh The Eagles...yeah never mind , I’m with The Dude here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up seeing James Taylor as the opening act for the Eagles a few years back in Philly. he played FOR 90 MINUTES 💩. Plus, he had Steve Gadd playing drums - heck, I could play drums for James Taylor. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 A few years back Nickleback was a regular punchline as a bad band. I only know two of their songs -both pop - but like them both so I never understood all the hate. "The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap We’ll all stay skinny 'cause we just won’t eat" We used to listen to the radio And sing along with every song we know We said, "Someday we'd find out how it feels To sing to more than just the steering wheel" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
