Journey is great and if you think otherwise you suck.

Yeah, it's official now, Journey blows.

 

I don't subscribe to the "If you think something I like is bad you are a pretentious" notion. That just sounds like someone's a bit self conscious that they like something that they themselves feel is stupid :2T:

 

But this is the AWFUL MUSIC appreciation thread, so I guess that's actually exactly what people are saying, and it belongs here! And we're supposed to be keeping judging at a minimum anyway. Play on playas!

 

Let's see, lemme find something terrible that I like...

 

 

I blame Vice City

See, to me Journey does blow overall, but I like that song. And if its lame and "hipster" to like it, then, I guess thats why I put it in this thread lol :)

 

Also, I cannot believe the Meatloaf post has been ignored. I thought for sure that was way beyond the pale

I lost my virginity to You Shook Me All Night Long. It came on the radio. It turned what was supposed to be an awkward, embarrassing experience into a REALLY FUNNY awkward, embarassing experience. My cousin's story is worse/better, she was in her bf's dad's car and The Violent Femmes, "Give Me the Car Tonight" came on.

No, it's just that "Journey is bad" is a knee-jerk reaction because I've yet to hear why Journey is bad. (Or at least any of their songs that have been posted in this thread) I mean they have good vocals and the music is competently played as well as fairly technical. The lyrics are lame but I can say the same thing about Bohemian Rhapsody. The reason most people seem to hate Journey is "it's old and popular so I'm too cool for it."

 

And often times people who claim Journey is terrible music love the shit out of some far worse band without the slightest hint of irony. To demonstrate my point I have made a helpful rage comic based on a real-life encounter that highlights my feelings on this perfectly.

Lol at the Whitesnake vs. Cinderella. Silly Derpette.

 

I like a lot of old, popular music. I'm not saying they aren't competent musicians, but that don't mean shit. I don't like Santana either (even after he teamed with Rob Thomas for a music revolution).

 

Unfortunately, I can't quantify what exactly makes music blow. It's too subjective.

 

I simply do not want it in my ear holes.

To me I define awful music as music that I, as a person who knows something about music, recognizes as bad. Like Britney Spear's singing voice, Lady Gaga's horrible electronic synthesized shit (admittedly I'm harder on her because I know she can play actual music), Coolio's sleepy mumbling rhymes, or anything on a Ke$ha album.

 

So when I posted that atrocious techno music earlier it was just bad bad bad horrible music, but for some imperceptible reason I go "this is terrible" but listen to the whole song like 3 times in a row. I have the same acute sense of indifference about you but I recognize there's a difference between music I do not like and music that is bad. Like Barry Mannilow, I hate everything he does but Copa Cabana is untouchable.
