You know the type of music I'm talking about. You're walking around Walgreens or the supermarket or another store and suddenly, you hear THIS song:

I only listen to whiny black guy music, so no.

edit: Since I might as well contribute, yeah I really don't like it. Not to say that "yah bro i only like hevy balzy musics", but do they have to sound so whiny in every song?

The place I work at plays this kind of music all the time. I've come to the conclusion that adult contemporary music is by far the most insulting forms of music on the planet.

Not my cup of tea, but they were both very catchy.

Yes it's annoying on all levels of the solar system.

tjanuranus · « **Reply #5 on:** May 30, 2011, 11:56:02 PM »

i think this is one of the worst kinds of music available today. Whenever i hear it i just want to run as far and fast as i can.

Yeah, I barely listen to heavy music. Actually, the heaviest music that I listen to is DT. So, not that you did, but don't take my post as, "This stuff is gay and everyone should listen to DEATH METAL!"

It's just that this stuff really IS lame.

I remember hearing this song for this first time:

I was like holy shit this is beautiful. But then the vocals came in...

I have to listen to this stuff all day at work so I've gotten pretty good at tuning it out.

Doesn't bother me at all, but I'm not a fan either. Just kind of "there", inoffensive and not really attention grabbing. Same goes for a lot of pop music.

That's cool. Having the worst opinions ever doesn't make you any less of a person.

Just to let you all know, James Blunt could actually kill you all if he wanted to.

But for reals, those songs in the OP are fine. Nothing wrong with them at all. Don't really see them as "whiny" though. Its not like Panic! At the Disco or Circa Survive or something.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #22 on:** May 31, 2011, 06:36:22 AM »

SE, It's not like they can play Dredge or Tool in a shopping mall. Middle aged women would hang the store manager. (My wife would like it though.)

Who the hell are these guys? Are they anything like Dream Theatre?

I think they could get away with some dredg.

Their the Canadian version of the band.

It's offensively generic. I wouldn't care but I work at a CVS that loops this shit all day.

It's not just "whiny white guys" that make this shit by the way.

I saw that on SNL. It was great but I could add

The guitarist is Bruce Kulick from Kiss.

Definitely 2 of the most vomit inducing songs ever written. Both equally terrible and as bad as music gets.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #32 on:** May 31, 2011, 07:12:49 AM »

That's a little much. I honestly don't see how you could wretch and say "this is terrible." I mean, they're no "Friday" or "Tik Tok."
