Hey Revenge, just looking at your 'banned because you don't like them' list. What is it you don't like about these bands? Have you listened to a fair bit by them, or just some of their hits have rubbed you up the wrong way? It might help us all know what to avoid sending in subsequent rounds.
For the record, I love all the mentioned bands, other than Bring Me the Horizon and In This Moment
I forgot this post was here! I'll try to summarize what I don't like about each of the bands in my second ban list:
A7X: This is an interesting one. When I was a lot younger, I used to really like this band. But for some reason, I just stopped caring about them at some point. So this isn't necessarily a band I dislike, just one I have no interest in whatsoever anymore.
Slayer: Probably the worst band on this list (though there's a couple other contenders I'll get to). Extremely obnoxious in both music and vocals, and the lyrics are annoying and may have popularized what I call "LOL demons" lyrics, where the lyrics seem to be about satanism or something related to that solely for the purpose of shock value. That's a whole different discussion, though.
Bring Me the Horizon: Stupid. So, so stupid. I'm sorry to act so bitter and unreasonable, but that's really the best way I can describe this one.
Ghost: The lyrics turn me off of them, though I will say they do some interesting things musically here and there.
Volbeat: They're okay, but they feel really repetitive to me.
Green Day: Not much to say about this one, I just find them bland and uninteresting.
In This Moment: If Slayer isn't the worst, then this one is. At least the vocals in Slayer's music don't genuinely make me feel uncomfortable.
Lamb of God: Boring. Not the worst thing in the world, but I find nothing of interest with this band.
I mainly know most of these bands (the exceptions being BMTH and Green Day) because one or both of my parents are really into these bands. It might be easy to ask if there's a correlation between music I don't like and said music being stuff my parents listen to, but I'd say that's not true as there are some bands my parents like that I also like (some examples being KMFDM, Rammstein, Opeth, and probably a couple others I can't think of at the moment).
