Artists you used to like but no longer do.

Whitesnake were a decent blues rock band once you know.

That's what they tell me.

Same guy compared them to Led Zeppelin. And said Steve Vai gave them star power. Who am I to argue over the merits of Steve Vai, he was in Crossroads and beat The Karate Kid. Oh wait he lost.

Steve Vai?

Fucking hell

I'm talking about the late 70s early 80s when they had Glenn Hughes, Ian Paice & Jon Lord in the band.

Ironically i'm listening to a Deep Purple album with Coverdale on vocals right now.

Okay, I used to like The Killers, The Courteeners and Fort Minor. I will have some left over stick.

There's quite a lot of stuff I used to listen to 9 or 10 years ago that I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole now: Lostprophets, Finch, Green Day, Sum 41, Slipknot, Funeral For A Friend, Hundred Reasons, InMe, Papa Roach, erm... Limp Bizkit.

There's been some other offenders since who linger in my mind like an embarrassing night out, some cheesy power metal bands like Dragonforce, Edguy and Hammerfall. Even Guns 'n' Roses and Led Zeppelin bore me to tears now despite loving them at one stage.

I'll occasionally throw on Insomniac by Green Day (with last.fm turned off for obvious reasons) if I'm feeling nostalgic. It's funny though because I feel the same way about Led Zeppelin, got huge into them at around the same age as everyone else, but nowadays I just have no desire to listen to them. As for GNR, well I never really cared for them anyways so no loss there for me.

Zer0 · 07-19-2012, 05:36 PM

I still have all my Green Day CDs thrown in a box somewhere, but I just don't feel much desire to listen to them. Dookie is probably the only one that would make me feel nostalgic but I would more than likely turn it off after a few songs if I was to listen to it right now.

Alright, I don't really care that much about Edguy and Dragonforce is just awful, but Hammerfall is glorious. Whenever I turn on a Hammerfall record, it just brings back that passion for metal that I had when I was fourteen. Sure it's cheesy as all hell, but anything that can cut through all the layers of cynicism and actually make me feel something again is alright in my book.
