I'm 54 so I was a teenager a long time ago..... So I'll sum it up in a word, disco. 13 yr old me was a follower, but not for long. 14 it yr old me discovered Judas Priest, Sabbath and AC/DC.... I never turned back.
My mom raised me on some disco but I lost interest in it when she turned me on to the likes of Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, etc. so I can relate.
Okay, so how can you throw out such amazing music like Earth, Wind, and Fire (for instance)? Sure, not all disco was good and the bad stuff was really terrible, but why throw out all of it? I didn't grow up with disco and I listen to much of the music you listed, but I still listen to the great funk and disco hits too.
@skullsxr that's a hard one... I liked Donna Summers Hot Stuff and Last Dance. Loved Funky Town. And most KC and the Sunshine Band. And of course Kiss's disco song "I Was Made for Loving You". To lighten up this convo anyone remember "Disco Duck"?
And still, Ash isn't wrong with that statement. Imagine a world, wheren everyone will be infected with Corona, and then think about a world, where everyone is only allowed to listen to Crunkcore. Tell me, what's worse? (Obviously take this question with a pinch of humour)
@@Hardc6reStra5tedge I had never heard of Brokencyde before, so I just searched out and listened to about a third of Freaxxx (that might not be the right number of "x"s). I'm with you, mate, it's somewhere between COVID19 and total global extermination in terms of how bad it is for humanity. Ash, what were you thinking?
I would also like to add that being a child of the '80s I can honestly say there is not a single album that I would not go back and listen to today. I don't care how good or bad it is, if I ever once liked it I always will
@@IndustrialFan666 interesting. The funniest part of this whole thing for me was that I only liked that one song, so I really don't know that much about them (just that I find the fact they are on an fbi gang list insane - seriously). It took me forever to even remember what it was called.
Limp Bizkit gets a lot of unnecessary hate. Surprised that one wouldn’t be coming to them for some angst given their first record. Then again, Chocolate Starfish is much different than their first.
As bad as Limp Bizkit sounds to my 28 year old ears I will still play and turn up the songs "Take A Look Around" and "My Way" when they come on. The band was good but Fred Durst is an awful lyricist and singer.
Ill pretend i still care: The first album was killer at the time. The second album dipped a bit but had enough heavy stuff for people that were there for more 'counterfeit' and then they literally became a parody of themselves by having a stupidly named album that had a bunch of awful songs and it made the other stuff they did immediately less enjoyable. Thats what it felt like for most people.
The first album was fantastic, especially in perspective of being fairly close to the beginning of combining rap and rock as a full band, and not just rapping over rap samples or doing it for a couple of tracks, or showcase, such as the genre shaking soundtrack judgment night. And they rode high for the next 2 albums, but it most certainly was diminishing quickly, and while i cold listen to them, i haven't, and probably wouldn't give them more than one good run through in which i listened more for what the band was doing, durst had some decent lyrics on the first album because i believe he just went through a break up and showed bare some honest pain, and while i was more into hip hop at that time, the first album was also better because the band was more focused on the rock with fusion of hip hop, but after success durst suddenly thought of himself more as a rapper and was able to get big name rappers and producers from hip hop coming in, but unfortunately he was no beastie boy, and didn't expand or deepen his lyrical content, but that first album, was great headphone music, aggressive, multilayered and experimental with real anger and pain, but he ran dry and became an act
“Three dolla bill y’all” I still love “Significant Other” still like (some crappy stuff on there Fred Durst awful lyricist but I still love that first album. I actually didn’t even like the albums after that even at the time when they came out. Never bought them and the first album was like my favorite of all time (embarrassing I know). However so was Eminem “Slim Shady LP” at the time and thats still my favorite album of all time “Slim Shady LP” seriously anyone who hasn’t listen to that in awhile, go listen. Best album ever (I also listen to everything though and could have 100 best albums)
"I live in the 2000s, where pop-punk roamed free and nu-metal grew on the trees, and you could pluck it and eat the fruit and it was all wonderful and good" never have i had such a large part of my existence laid in front of me so eloquently. Cheers Ash
I certainly didn't have access to the internet when Encore came out. And if I did, I sure as shit wouldn't have been looking up boring stuff like reviews, that would actually be useful to me.
Agreed. I have a particular soft spot for the Amy Lee version of Broken as I've always felt that their vocals meshed well, and Amy is also painfully adorable as an angel in the music video.
”Screaming and Heavy”, talkes about Seether and Creed. My parents would have been very happy If that was me. I would come home and blast stuff lika Cradle of Filth, Napalm Death, Morbid Angel etc 😂
@@MsFreshadenu has nothing to do with being a chick. It has everything to do with liking whatever the hell you like and not thinking you got too cool for it.
Not even close for me. Korn's entire discography (but especially Follow the Leader, Issues, and Untouchables). I had a lot of pain and anger in me when I was in high school, and at the time, those albums spoke to me and reassured me I wasn't alone in my torment. But years went by, things got better, and I became a different person... and now, every time I hear *anything* by Korn, it reminds me of the trauma that I went through growing up, and I become really uncomfortable being taken back into that headspace.
I completely agree with everything Josh said about Encore, and I had the exact same experience with the album. There is one song on the album I still listen to though; Rain Main. I still think it's one of his best ever songs.
I was a teenager in the 80's. Taking a brief look at my collection I'd have to say I'm not sure I could sit through the entire Debbie Gibson "Out of the Blue" album from 1986 again. I'm sure I could find other similar gems but I really can't be bothered just now. :)
I love how the Kaiser Chiefs album Employment was on here twice. Like, of all the albums in history for people to hate, this was picked twice. Hahaha amazing. Really speaks to this album.
I'm 45, and when I was a teen in the 80's I loved New Kids on the Block!! I used to listen to their album Step by Step religiously. I even had their VHS tape. I could and would never listen to it now.
It's funny listening to british people talking about Kaiser Chiefs. To me as a 'foreigner' they were just a decent band that fitted in well with my music taste at the time. I never thought about whether they were 'for real' nor the cultural impact they had.
Fele I don’t know where you’re from, but the Kaiser Chiefs aren’t that well known in my country (the US). They were one of those artists that you knew about if your musical taste came from blogs. So to hear them described as fake indie is weird. I also think it’s weird that The Killers are still a relevant and important band in the UK when here they’re just a relic of the early/mid 00s.
I was a huge Weird Al Yankovic fan back in the day. My first vinyl album was "Fat". My first cassette was the UHF soundtrack. My first CD was "Bad Hair Day". I still listen to it from time to time. Truthfully, there isn't much that I listened to back in the day that I don't still listen to today. Could be an age thing. I grew up in the late 70's, 80's and mid 90's, and I still love the music from that era and quite frankly think that most of the music since the advent of Autotune in the mid 90's absolutely sucks. Well, there is one album of my past that I will never listen to again. Fuck Kid Rock.
I'd have to say...the album that I used to love when I was a teenager (and player obnoxiously loud everywhere I went), that I wouldn't listen to again...is "Appetite for Destruction" by Guns n Roses. There are still a couple songs on that album I wouldn't turn off if they started playing, but most of them make me cringe now (especially sweet child o' mine....they started playing that song on the radio one particular time. And KEPT playing it....on THREE different stations. The 80th time I heard it that day, I was so over it).
Whaaatt. Im with you on skipping sweet child of mine and paradise city, but the rest of that album is a burner. My michelle. You're crazy. Mr brownstone. Oh man.
My teenage years started in 1994 when I turned 13 and I will say that although they're definitely different and good artists and I listened to them from my teenage years to my early 20's, I cannot go back and listen to any of my ICP albums. I still have them, but I just can't listen to them. I am not embarrassed or regretful of it, just that part of my life is over. They do throw one hell of a concert though with Faygo.
I would rather listen to Seether Disclaimer II oppose to the stuff they’ve been releasing in the last 14 years. I just enjoy the melancholic emotions evoked from their earlier stuff
It’s cool to hear someone else talking about Alter Bridge. Seems like they’re more popular in the UK than here in the states. They put on one hell of a show
Now encore is not em's best album not even a top 2 or 3 for that matter but it's definitely under rated josh might want to give it another listen for sure
The only thing artist for me that springs to mind is Kid Rock. I’m sure there’s others but he’s the main one. I was really into his albums at the time 1999-2001 and sought out his independent albums and then just moved right on as my tastes broadened.
I do agree about King of Leon "Use Somebody". It became one of those songs that you just want skip immediately to the next song. I much prefer listening to the entire Mechanical Bull album
I feel that way about most songs songs on that album because I've heard them played soooo many times. I'll always listen to Paramore's rendition of it in the BBC live lounge though.
Damn, this video. The Kaiser Chiefs' first album was so catchy, but once you notice the reoccurring rising group harmonies it's all you can think about...
Mate, Limp Bizkit is awesome, sorry but yeah, I liked them for 12 years then now in 2019/2020 I really listened to them properly and they’re so good. We all have our own opinions of course but yeah they rule!
I just went & listened to "Chocolate Salty Balls" for 1st time in I think decades, & I still like it so thank you for that :-) RIP Chef, sorry you got swept into the cult I will not name
Hey nice you saved me some typing. I think this was the one hair band album i listened to along with Whitesnake and White Lion. Even saw Hysteria live which was eh. Today there is now way in hell i would touch any of that 80s hair metal, except maybe some Scorpions.
Man I think the great Paul Mooney summed up Encore perfectly when he said "Cocaine is a hell of a drug". I loathe that that's the ONLY Eminem album I've bought new in a physical format that can haunt me till the damn day I die......damn.
As a fellow recovering crunkcore supporter, I knew what was coming when she started listing off MCR and Breathe Carolina...may no emo kid ever utter the words “get crunk” ever again. You’re ok now Ash, they can’t hurt you anymore.
Mines is She Wants Revenge debut album, I thought it was kinda cool and edgy at first but then I went on listening to older post punk stuff like Joy Division & Siouxsie & The Banshees! listening to it now 14 years later feels like I’m drinking lite beer, I didn’t realize how much the vocalist mimicked Ian Curtis!
I was halfway through listening to St. Anger when my car stereo got stolen. I never bothered replacing the album. Also, I pity anyone whose first Metallica album was St. Anger.
Scott Ferrell they don’t. Don’t get the hatred. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan but I have been to see them live since they were at my local venue and they were excellent.
I still listen to everything I listened to as a teenager. Icp korn manson eminem tool dmx slipknot. And from childhood dr dre snoop Metallica nwa pantera. Great music.
My whole 14th year on this planet was. 1. From Under the cork Tree by Fall Out Boy 2. Black Album by Metallica 3. For All The Wrong Reasons by Nickleback (I like Nickleback and I live on your hatred) 4. Encore 2 by Eminem Eminem is someone I can't really enjoy anymore as he's problematic. Which is his whole thing but it just makes me cringe now. Like some of the old bangers but Rap God is fantastic till he makes fun of someone for looking gay two years after gay marriage was legalized. (not saying that erased gay bashing or that it was OK before that happened but, like come on man.)
Aw..those poor Kaiser Chiefs. I used to listen to Chef Aid round my friends house and then another friend and another friend and I would sometimes listen to ICP. I've always had a soft spot for ICP and only got into listening to their albums properly a bit later in life. They're wank now but I still respect the Juggalo culture...a bit.
or what about the flip side? What album got you through high school, that you still love today? I had a co-worker who loved Harvey Danger-Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone very nice choice. For me, Nirvana-Nevermind
The Beginning by The Black Eyed Peas. I used to love it when I was like 10, but now I find the lyrics very cringy. The only track I still listen to is the instrumental version of The Time (Dirty Bit)
I was a teenager in 1980s and I spent about two years totally into Triumph. Allied Forces and Thunder Seven. I thought they were as good as Led Zeppelin. Face palms to this very day.
Yep. Limp Bizkit - chocolate starfish and the hotdog flavored water. I absolutely loved this album when it came out when I was a kid but looking back on it now I can't believe I ever listened to it
Well, I'm almost 55 so my teenage years were during the 80's. I was pretty discriminating back then which caused me to miss out on bands that I now love. Unfortunately my friends were all into the hard rock/hair metal scene which I now look back on as the worst period in rock history. I wish I'd listened to bands like Talking Heads, The Police and Men at Work but instead I was listening to crap that I never truly loved. It just was what it was. Anyway, if I had to pick one, the first thing that comes to mind is WASP's self titled album. Yeah there are albums I hate far worse but in all honesty I didn't love them as a teen either. Shit bands like Poison, Cinderella and other pure poser garbage. I may have owned them but I didn't really like them. I liked WASP, so I guess that's my answer.
" the hard rock/hair metal scene which I now look back on as the worst period in rock history.". I'm 42 and hair metal and synth pop make me glad I'm a child of the 90s. My dad would agree with you on the hair metal thing.
There is probably a whole bunch of albums in my collection that I would rather not listen to today. But there is one that comes to mind instantly (and apologies for the hipster lingo, but you will probably never have heard of it - for good reason!). It is "Drachenblut" by Mystic Circle. When this album came out, I had just discovered black metal, and it was pretty much all black metal needed to be back then. The painted faces. The spikes. The growly vocals. And the keyboards - oh, so much keyboard on this album! And it is mixed so dominantly that it drowns out most of the guitar work (if there is any - it is hard to tell, really). And the cringeworthy English lyrics obviously penned by a German with two years of school English and a dictionary. Oh, it is abyssmal, but not in the way good black metal is.
Clery, you mentioned 2004 specifically and thats the year I graduated high school n if ur one of the older ppl that works at WhatCulture (I watch the wrestling WC channel a lot!) U can't be that old. Andy Murray said he's 32 & unlike a lot of women who lie about their ages, I'm honestly 34. You don't seem to be too much older than that either. But u were the 2nd person to have that album as the 1 you'll never listen to again! I'm in the United States so I have no clue about a lot of British music and music in the UK in general before high speed internet but even then I still don't know a lot of singers and bands that never made it into the U.S. On another list, bands that are known for the wrong album: Good Charlotte I totally agreed with! It was 1 of the few bands I actually knew and still listen to. Upon the release of the album with Boys & Girls on it, they said that they went into a completely different direction for (at the time) the new album n it was 🌝&🌚! BTW I am really enjoying WC Music! U don't have to be an expert to know what ur opinion on music is!
Josh really let me down man, encore is still good today, being an immature adult is not necessarily a bad thing, some of us are childish af and we love it 😂
Tried to think about this - I was a teen in the late 1970's to the early 1980's. No, there isn't anything I can think of. I still regularly listen to albums I bought then. 'Closer' by Joy Division, is still a painful listen to some people of my age, not because it's a bad album - far from it, it's a work of great, sad beauty, but because of Ian Curtis' suicide shortly before it was released. I still listen to it often. Other than that, no. All of those albums have something worth my time on them. As I began collecting records, of many different genres, (but no cheery pop pap) in 1976, I'm not short of something to listen to. My favourite? Not possible to tell.
Shit. I really love the first two Kaiser Chiefs albums. I've never heard anyone really hate on them too much, but then again they never blew up here in the states.
Oh you guys are so young! :D For me, I hate to admit it, would be the Bay City Rollers... scottish bubblegum pop band and Oh god they were so saccharine. Fortunately I discovered Queen soon after that and that was that.
I wasn't yet born when the the Bay City Rollers were popular, but every time I hear "Saturday Night" that damn spelling out of the songs title gets stuck in my head.
Sneakers Pimps. Becoming X album my ex introduced me to them MANY years ago and now when I hear it I have horrible flashbacks of the relationship and would rather leave it in the past

Whaaatt. Im with you on skipping sweet child of mine and paradise city, but the rest of that album is a burner. My michelle. You're crazy. Mr brownstone. Oh man.
I will never tire of icp, their sound and style may change with every album but i could never stop listening to them
Andy Murray whats a matter with Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water. You're 32. I'm 47 and still love it.
My teenage years started in 1994 when I turned 13 and I will say that although they're definitely different and good artists and I listened to them from my teenage years to my early 20's, I cannot go back and listen to any of my ICP albums. I still have them, but I just can't listen to them. I am not embarrassed or regretful of it, just that part of my life is over. They do throw one hell of a concert though with Faygo.
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. I saw Swingers and suddenly I was really into neo-swing for about a year.
I would rather listen to Seether Disclaimer II oppose to the stuff they’ve been releasing in the last 14 years. I just enjoy the melancholic emotions evoked from their earlier stuff
I think the last 2 Seether albums have been good. I was listening to a interview they did and it was wind up records that was the problem
It’s cool to hear someone else talking about Alter Bridge. Seems like they’re more popular in the UK than here in the states. They put on one hell of a show
Now encore is not em's best album not even a top 2 or 3 for that matter but it's definitely under rated josh might want to give it another listen for sure
Adam Nicholas, I see your musical tastes have improved. I see the Beatles and Bowie in the background! Now THAT'S good music and timeless.
Crazy Town - The Gift of Game
Destiny’s Child - Survivor
Sum 41 - All Killer No Filler
Ludacris - Word of Mouf
Ludacris - Chicken and Beer
The first Kings of Leon album is a gem
My answer: Anything Limp Bizkit related lol
The only thing artist for me that springs to mind is Kid Rock. I’m sure there’s others but he’s the main one. I was really into his albums at the time 1999-2001 and sought out his independent albums and then just moved right on as my tastes broadened.
Really?
Seether is what you complain about compared to everything you have ever listened to as a child?
Over-earnest ch-hyeah music is really embarrassing to rehear.
Scott’s face just reminds me of a typical mii from the Nintendo wii.
Oh ash.....I totally remember brokencyde. My high-school days. Don't worry todays youth are much worse. We miss you being at Whatculture.
Yes Cleary! - Stonelove, Bulletproof, Brighton Beach....that (+ Uni Sports night on the Weds) was my Newcastle Uni life
I do agree about King of Leon "Use Somebody". It became one of those songs that you just want skip immediately to the next song. I much prefer listening to the entire Mechanical Bull album
I feel that way about most songs songs on that album because I've heard them played soooo many times. I'll always listen to Paramore's rendition of it in the BBC live lounge though.
Disco Baby by Van McCoy & the Soul City Symphony. My favorite song on the album was 'Turn This Mother Out'. I was 14 in 1975.
Damn, this video. The Kaiser Chiefs' first album was so catchy, but once you notice the reoccurring rising group harmonies it's all you can think about...
Mate, Limp Bizkit is awesome, sorry but yeah, I liked them for 12 years then now in 2019/2020 I really listened to them properly and they’re so good. We all have our own opinions of course but yeah they rule!
A 75 minute long album?
*Laughs in Fear Inoculum*
CptnAwsmBalls or every Eminem album from 2000-2013 the last couple have been 45-60 minutes
The difference is that tool can make a good 1+ hour album
Its so much better on cd without the skits. So fucking good
I just went & listened to "Chocolate Salty Balls" for 1st time in I think decades, & I still like it so thank you for that :-) RIP Chef, sorry you got swept into the cult I will not name
Holly B Embarrassed Ash is still Ash 💔🖤
I loved Def Leppard's Hysteria when I was a teen but now it is like "meh"
I still put that shit on, lol
Oh I still love Def Lep. Pyromania was my fave though.
Hey nice you saved me some typing. I think this was the one hair band album i listened to along with Whitesnake and White Lion. Even saw Hysteria live which was eh. Today there is now way in hell i would touch any of that 80s hair metal, except maybe some Scorpions.
Holy shit. That Onslaught shirt on Adam Clery. I did NOT expect that. Good stuff.
Man I think the great Paul Mooney summed up Encore perfectly when he said "Cocaine is a hell of a drug". I loathe that that's the ONLY Eminem album I've bought new in a physical format that can haunt me till the damn day I die......damn.
That was actually Rick James who said that.
As a fellow recovering crunkcore supporter, I knew what was coming when she started listing off MCR and Breathe Carolina...may no emo kid ever utter the words “get crunk” ever again.
You’re ok now Ash, they can’t hurt you anymore.
Mines is She Wants Revenge debut album, I thought it was kinda cool and edgy at first but then I went on listening to older post punk stuff like Joy Division & Siouxsie & The Banshees! listening to it now 14 years later feels like I’m drinking lite beer, I didn’t realize how
much the vocalist mimicked Ian Curtis!
Metallica, st. Anger for me. I loved that album when younger then when i got older i listened to their older stuff and never listened to it again.
I was halfway through listening to St. Anger when my car stereo got stolen. I never bothered replacing the album. Also, I pity anyone whose first Metallica album was St. Anger.
@@paullaing5921 that was me. Although at the time i liked it and it made me go out looking for their better stuff
Silver Side Up by Nickelback
Teens...hmm...Mantronix: In Full Effect....in my 20s...Ahem...Wilson-Phillips...(hangs head in shame).
Great video! And you guys have good taste too! I spotted the Yellow Submarine, a Fender Bass and The Beatles boxset. I got the same stuff myself. =)
Anything Lostprophets :/
Encore came out in 2004. We had both internet and review sites in 2004.
Never heard of Kaiser Chiefs but they must really suck since 2 of the guys on the team picked them. lol
Scott Ferrell they don’t. Don’t get the hatred. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan but I have been to see them live since they were at my local venue and they were excellent.
The song "Everything is Average These Days" sums them up nicely as a band.
I still listen to everything I listened to as a teenager. Icp korn manson eminem tool dmx slipknot. And from childhood dr dre snoop Metallica nwa pantera. Great music.
My whole 14th year on this planet was.
1. From Under the cork Tree by Fall Out Boy
2. Black Album by Metallica
3. For All The Wrong Reasons by Nickleback (I like Nickleback and I live on your hatred)
4. Encore 2 by Eminem
Eminem is someone I can't really enjoy anymore as he's problematic. Which is his whole thing but it just makes me cringe now. Like some of the old bangers but Rap God is fantastic till he makes fun of someone for looking gay two years after gay marriage was legalized. (not saying that erased gay bashing or that it was OK before that happened but, like come on man.)
The Black Album still holds up. Nickleback is little more than an unskilled Metallica imitator. Like them if you want but facts are facts.
Aw..those poor Kaiser Chiefs.
I used to listen to Chef Aid round my friends house and then another friend and another friend and I would sometimes listen to ICP.
I've always had a soft spot for ICP and only got into listening to their albums properly a bit later in life. They're wank now but I still respect the Juggalo culture...a bit.
or what about the flip side?
What album got you through high school, that you still love today?
I had a co-worker who loved Harvey Danger-Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone
very nice choice.
For me, Nirvana-Nevermind
Fuck I just forgotten about crunkcore and there it's back in my head
The Beginning by The Black Eyed Peas. I used to love it when I was like 10, but now I find the lyrics very cringy. The only track I still listen to is the instrumental version of The Time (Dirty Bit)
RotcodFox
Boom boom pow makes me cringe just from the name alone now. :(
Boiler is actually my favourite Limp Bizkit song
I was a teenager in 1980s and I spent about two years totally into Triumph. Allied Forces and Thunder Seven. I thought they were as good as Led Zeppelin. Face palms to this very day.
Its funny how some of them mention albums that are less than 10 years old...
That's because most of them are still fetuses
@matt fahringer, and here is another one. Are you in need of attention?
I was a teen in the Britpop days and the 2 I can think of are Black Grape: it’s great when you’re straight ,yeah and Mensw@r‘s eponymous album.
Yep. Limp Bizkit - chocolate starfish and the hotdog flavored water. I absolutely loved this album when it came out when I was a kid but looking back on it now I can't believe I ever listened to it
Ash's cruckcore lamentations speaks to my old scene kid soul
Well, I'm almost 55 so my teenage years were during the 80's. I was pretty discriminating back then which caused me to miss out on bands that I now love. Unfortunately my friends were all into the hard rock/hair metal scene which I now look back on as the worst period in rock history. I wish I'd listened to bands like Talking Heads, The Police and Men at Work but instead I was listening to crap that I never truly loved. It just was what it was. Anyway, if I had to pick one, the first thing that comes to mind is WASP's self titled album. Yeah there are albums I hate far worse but in all honesty I didn't love them as a teen either. Shit bands like Poison, Cinderella and other pure poser garbage. I may have owned them but I didn't really like them. I liked WASP, so I guess that's my answer.
" the hard rock/hair metal scene which I now look back on as the worst period in rock history.". I'm 42 and hair metal and synth pop make me glad I'm a child of the 90s. My dad would agree with you on the hair metal thing.
There is probably a whole bunch of albums in my collection that I would rather not listen to today. But there is one that comes to mind instantly (and apologies for the hipster lingo, but you will probably never have heard of it - for good reason!). It is "Drachenblut" by Mystic Circle. When this album came out, I had just discovered black metal, and it was pretty much all black metal needed to be back then. The painted faces. The spikes. The growly vocals. And the keyboards - oh, so much keyboard on this album! And it is mixed so dominantly that it drowns out most of the guitar work (if there is any - it is hard to tell, really). And the cringeworthy English lyrics obviously penned by a German with two years of school English and a dictionary. Oh, it is abyssmal, but not in the way good black metal is.
Goddammit Ash, I just had to look up wtf you were talking about. That is 29 seconds I'll never get back.
Brokencyde are a huge guilty pleasure for me, their first proper album is just dumb fun
Clery, you mentioned 2004 specifically and thats the year I graduated high school n if ur one of the older ppl that works at WhatCulture (I watch the wrestling WC channel a lot!) U can't be that old. Andy Murray said he's 32 & unlike a lot of women who lie about their ages, I'm honestly 34. You don't seem to be too much older than that either. But u were the 2nd person to have that album as the 1 you'll never listen to again! I'm in the United States so I have no clue about a lot of British music and music in the UK in general before high speed internet but even then I still don't know a lot of singers and bands that never made it into the U.S.
On another list, bands that are known for the wrong album: Good Charlotte I totally agreed with! It was 1 of the few bands I actually knew and still listen to. Upon the release of the album with Boys & Girls on it, they said that they went into a completely different direction for (at the time) the new album n it was 🌝&🌚!
BTW I am really enjoying WC Music! U don't have to be an expert to know what ur opinion on music is!
I don't get this list. I love listening to music from my teen years.
Nirvana and Pearl Jam I can't listen to anymore. They sound really dated to me now
Josh really let me down man, encore is still good today, being an immature adult is not necessarily a bad thing, some of us are childish af and we love it 😂
Thank you!
@matt fahringer, you are a particularly extra douchey edge lord. Why are you @ me on so many comments?
I’ll never stop listening to limpbizkit
Isvthat onslaught t shirt one representing the band?
Ringmaster and Riddle Box are my favourite ICP albums
10:28 Panic At The Disco never was Emo. They always were pop.
For me, it's Korn. The album with Daddy on it. That's about how far into Nu metal I went.
Tried to think about this - I was a teen in the late 1970's to the early 1980's. No, there isn't anything I can think of. I still regularly listen to albums I bought then. 'Closer' by Joy Division, is still a painful listen to some people of my age, not because it's a bad album - far from it, it's a work of great, sad beauty, but because of Ian Curtis' suicide shortly before it was released. I still listen to it often. Other than that, no. All of those albums have something worth my time on them. As I began collecting records, of many different genres, (but no cheery pop pap) in 1976, I'm not short of something to listen to. My favourite? Not possible to tell.
Ricky Wilson was great in Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds which probably counts against him even more.
Also I'm from Jacksonville where the Mathews bridge is located and Limp Bizkits from Lol loved them as a kid.
Shit. I really love the first two Kaiser Chiefs albums. I've never heard anyone really hate on them too much, but then again they never blew up here in the states.
Albums from my teens I'd never listen to again?
Anything by Insane Clown Posse...
Oh you guys are so young! :D
For me, I hate to admit it, would be the Bay City Rollers... scottish bubblegum pop band and Oh god they were so saccharine. Fortunately I discovered Queen soon after that and that was that.
I wasn't yet born when the the Bay City Rollers were popular, but every time I hear "Saturday Night" that damn spelling out of the songs title gets stuck in my head.
....but we're all agreed, 'clutch' is the best band in the world right? 🤘🏻😎
Please God tell me you are joking.
Sneakers Pimps. Becoming X album my ex introduced me to them MANY years ago and now when I hear it I have horrible flashbacks of the relationship and would rather leave it in the past
