you love it, you love it not

[Charlie Bernstein]

Name a song you do like by an act you don't like, and name a song you don't like by an act you do like.

I'll go first:

I don't like Frank Sinatra but love "One for the Road."

I love Eric Clapton but can't stand "Wonderful Tonight."

Your turn!

 

[Opsimath]

I agree on that Clapton song. I usually skip it on the CD.

 

[walrus]

I like Frank Sinatra, but don't like "New York New York".

I don't like Eric Clapton, but like "Let It Rain".

[walrus]

Can I do another one?

I love Led Zeppelin, but don't like "Carouselambra".

I don't like Leon Russell, but I like "Tightrope".

walrus

 

[dreadnut]

I love Steve Miller but I hate "Rock Me Baby" and "Fly Like An Eagle."

 

[GGJaguar]

I like David Bowie, but don't like "The Jean Genie".

I don't like Bob Seger, but I like "Mainstreet".

Yup! I do that with "Man's Temptation" on Super Session. (And I'm not the only one.)

I don't like Eric Clapton, but like "Let It Rain".

I don't like "New York, New York," but I like New York, New York!

I don't like Leon Russell, but I like "Tightrope".

If you don't like Leon Russell, you'll hate this!:

Same here! Now name a song you like by an artist you don't.

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

I like David Bowie, but don't like "The Jean Genie".

I don't like Bob Seger, but I like "Mainstreet".

Yeah, Seger can be pretty annoying, but he comes through once in a while.

 

[Opsimath]

Now name a song you like by an artist you don't.

That's the hard part!

Don't care for Tanya Tucker - but I like Delta Dawn.

 

[Opsimath]

Yeah, Seger can be pretty annoying, but he comes through once in a while.

I like Seger, but his recordings seem to be rather heavy on drums, if I recall. Haven't listened in a while.

 

[fronobulax]

I can't play.

If I like the artist I tend to tolerate their worst songs and the candidates for such are pretty obviously filler from a time when artists had to fill an album or a CD.

If I don't like an artist I am unlikely to hear enough of them to have an informed opinion about what I like.

I note that the question is trying to push things into black and white and for musicians and their body of work is such a gray area that I don't even want to try.

No soup for you.

 

[Swamp ash]

Not the biggest fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd, but "Curtis Lowe" is a great tune.


Love St Vincent, but just can't warm up to Melting of the Sun, yet

Well there then!

Have a love/hate and a hate/love to offer?

 

[Elderguilder]

I can't stand Ryan Adams but his song La Cienega Just Smiled is just utterly amazing. Very simple, melancholy and the acoustic guitar moves me something very cool; understated, perfect piano and electric guitar, adds just the right emphasis. From his "Gold" album. All of the songs but this are incredibly pedestrian and uninspired IMO.

 

[crank]

Love the Rolling Stones. Hate Start Me Up.

Don't like Garth Brooks. Like Friends In Low Places.
