What artist makes you feel like you’re eating plain oatmeal?

He should take up curling so he can learn to express his anger with various forms of the fuck word.

Nice! Very timely!

Nothing comes to mind honestly.

I want to say something for the sake of being exciting, but there are some Fleetwood Mac songs that give me chills, I really loved the first couple Coldplay albums, loved the first Wilco album, etc.

I would say maybe a lot of 70's radio rock maybe? Like Kansas, Styx, Journey, etc. And then a lot of the pop rock from the 2000's and beyond was pretty bland.

Most everything in the pop, hip hop, country, jazz, classical genres is just instant off for me. Just not my thing. A lot of times it can be more nails on a chalkboard than oatmeal though.

I'll play Yellow at band practice if I want some in the room eyerolls.

#notsorry.




Love that 1st Album.

Wow! I guess that's the reason Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors.

2 of my favorite songs are White Shadows by Coldplay, and Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac.

I don't really want to eat plain oatmeal, ever, but damn, it sure seems necessary for there to be
all the other .... more delicious.... types of oatmeal.

Kind of a microcosm for my life…..I don’t like all the flavored oatmeals you can buy in a store so I make my own overnight oats with oat milk, organic brown sugar, cocoa powder and almond butter, then treat myself to a healthy peanut butter cup breakfast every morning!

After seeing Bad Bunny at the superbowl, I went to check out his actual music. That dude can not sing, and has an awful voice for rapping too. I just don't get it.

I didn't see the superbowl performance, but I heard about him (at length) in the news, and listened to a bit of the music myself. I also don't really get it - at least not from a musical perspective. (And I won't get into the other perspectives, per forum rules.) One thing I struggle with with these younger artists is that 90% of what I'm hearing is obviously production - some presumably less attractive nerd nudging samples and send levels around in Ableton live or whatever. Is Bad Bunny also that nerd? Because that's clearly what's selling the records.

I would have rather just let Green Day and Ricky Martin have the half time show instead

I don't hear any thrill, any passion, any emotion, any...... anything. It's just the most safe, blandest music there is to these ears.

Probably a hot take, but this is exactly how I feel when I hear Blue Oyster Cult. Like, I can hear that the writing is interesting, and the guys can play, but the execution just sounds like a big wet noodle to me. Like it was all they could do to show up.

My personal oatmeal list:
-Any Aerosmith after ~1978.
-Any Def Leppard after ~1978 (meaning, any Def Leppard).

 

[mbenigni]

Sleep Token, like 98% of everything on hard rock radio, the Black Keys, any band that sounds like Clutch but isn’t Clutch, TOOL post-Lateralus. It’s a long list.

I like the Black Keys, but otherwise yeah. And I'll see your post-Lateralus and raise you post-Undertow.

How about post-formation

"Sober" really needed to happen, though. That song kills.

I kid. Generally speaking. I like bits and pieces here and there.

Fleetwood Mac.

Not sure why, I can recognize the talent in the band and can even put myself back in that time frame where they were huge, but their music does nothing for me and on some days Stevie Nicks actually makes me angry with her goat vibrato.
...

Clapton definitely falls flat for me as well. Can only assume heroin took all the fun out of that dude, the Cream stuff is great but after that I get absolutely nothing from his playing. Mayer and Clapton are in the exact same box, for me, 'This is supposed to be the blues.....but nothing about this sounds blue"

Goat vibrato.

Seems like a lot of guys here are on the same page (no pun intended, but also, let's fucking go) as me re: Clapton. I love me some Cream, but all that "Clapton is God" crap? I could swing a dead cat and hit four dentists that play exactly like him.

So. Much. Oatmeal.

Awesome band. Pretentious AF.

It’s definitely not the “nudging around samples and sends” in Ableton selling the records, lol. Not my jam, but dude is a big star. Audio production doesn’t get that for you. At least it wasn’t like Kid Rock or Ted Nugent or some other fuckin’ goofball.
