I love female singer songwriters.

BUT
I really really hate Sarah Mclachlan. She's dull. BUT, I do like her song "Stupid" (Despite it having some really really plain lyrics.) because she begins to let go there, and actually verges on doing something.

I would love it if she let go, because it's not like she's a bad singer. (Though her and Heather singing "I'm on fire" was very "Just shut up sarah, you're not as good.)

Alternative Pop/Rock - Ian Brown, Richard Ashcroft to name a few

LY just when I start liking you you go and diss Sarah? FTE is a perfect cd that is absolutely packed with great vocals, brilliant song writing and original melodies thorugh and through.

HMPH!

i agree with phreak. i love sarah maclachlan. she's never released a bad album. she gets repetitive (afterglow) but she's never been bad. but hatred is an illogical emotion, so i guess, lys can be forgiven. haha.

as for myself, i love female singer songwriters but this heathen nova. tsk tsk. nah, just kidding. okay, i love punk pop (the muffs, that dog.) but most of the popular punk poppers, i cannot stand, like green day (ew) and blink 182 (ew). ew.

Gee, I wonder how I knew you'd throw in Heather Nova.

Do you like general punk? I love AFI! I'm really getting into them. I love Davey's voice. I don't like it when he screams and shouts as much, unless I'm real angry, because he does have a nice singing voice.

I like "Surfacing" but Sarah is just to flacid for me sometimes.

More like something my mom would listen too as well.
Jewel falls into that category for the same reasons.

i guess, it's not that i love punk or anything but i don't mind it. my brother listens to AFI. i don't. do they wear eyeliner?

Probably.
In this life, everyone wears eyeliner.

I love pop/rock/punk pop

And I hate Green Day,Bowling For Soup,and other bands like that.

Green Day made some great alternative rock before it was hip to do so.

American Idiot is a great pop-punk record. I hate the genre, but I give them props for that.

nah, green day wasn't alone in doing punk pop. the muffs has been doing it for years. that dog. was a contemporary. it's not that i hate them but i don't know, they annoy me. plus their videos suck.

To be honest, I've never seen Greenday as anything Punk. They're just pop. It's always the people who think they're punk or punk pop who think that Evanescence are a rock band.

Yes I hate them

Evanescence is so hardcore.

They're my life.

ooooh my immortal is so like my song!!!! omgz, lolz, kthx

i despise evanescence with a passion. never understood what is supposedly "great" about amy lee. i hate matchbox 20. can't stand pearl jam. and i think that without bono vox, u2 would be tolerable.

sarah is dull, but she's a great writer.

Eh, she is like tori amos on an off day.

haha, hey, at least she got to put all those women together for lilith fair. gotta give her some credit for that.

tori amos...................

I supposedly love rock n roll, but I can not stand bands like the Rolling Stones, or pretty much all of hair metal.

HAHA!

That is a lie, and you know it.

are the muffs or that dog really pop punk? i thought they were more power pop than anything. especially that dog later on. if you're thinking garage punk maybe, but then why mention green day.

i dont think you really like pop punk. i dont care about labels, but lots of people deifine the music they listen to by them.

i dont know who i hate. tell me what genre the killers are because i hate them. except for one song i dont know the name of.

power pop? i thought power pop is big star, or like liz phair's song "never said"
and you're right. i probably don't like pop punk, just female vocals. haha.

sorry. the muffs are kind of punk pop. i was thinking of a totally different band. i was thinking of the murmurs. i still stand by what i said about that dog though.

i too love female vocals. met liz last night by the way. it was great. ok.

I hate all pop punk. And shall I say self-harm rock. Evanescence, Linkin Park etc.

BON JOVI

his voice is just too weak

too young too mellow to much to bad too sad!

Renee Olstead

these women should die

i can't stand pop punk like the likes of simple day, afi, fall out boy, and bright eyes to name a few. i like female singer songwriters, but jewel and heather nova do nothing for me. neither does michelle branch. i actually like singer songwriter music in general and i cannot stand bob dylan.

So you hate them?

Psssh you don't deserve to feel the Heather Nova magic.

there is no heather nova magic or i would be liking her. i wouldn't go so far as to say i hate them, but i really don't like them. jewel is ok and better than heather but neither really do much for me. you like them though and that's cool. someone has to.

:giggles:

yey!!

it's so rare that i get to listen to people i hate.... oooh, all rap artists. can't stand it. and don't call me racist either. i just can't. even freaking emineminem. asshole.

You are so bitchy! Though someone has to like 1000 maniacs, Coldplay and all those other bland boring bands.

And for the record, Heather is better than Jewel. And yes, there is Heather Nova Magic. It wakes me up in the morning, it spruces up the day, and it rests me to go to sleep. It makes me feel better, it makes me happy. Heather is just so wonderful and filling and beautiful. Everyday Heather plays a big part. I'm just sorry you can't feel the magic.

really? i thought this was the artist we hate in genres we love thread. beacuse i hate someone you like makes me a bitch. you seem to hate the 10,000 maniacs, coldplay, and all those other bland boring bands but that doesn't mean you're a bitch. the fact that you act like one all the time does ( j/k). and maybe i missed the magic. i have been known to miss things. although i don't recall any magic, it's probably because i'm not special enough or worthy of the heather nova magic (not a knock on heather at all. a knock on me difinitely). don't hold anything against me though. i will learn the ways of cool music in time.

Don’t take the bait LY. It’s all a ruse.

there is no bait or ruse. i was just repsonding back to what she said. i don't understand. it's the artists you hate thread isn't it? i am really confused now.

Fucking what?! Sugababes rule!

I like pop/rock.

I hate Hilary Duff,Jesse McCartney,Gwen Stefani,and Madonna.

Gwen's new album is good.

[thank god for nellee hooper]

and Madonna has accomplished much/

i agree, gwen stefani released a pretty good album and hella excellent first single, what you waiting for.

the line between their tits even rules!

suddenly I totally totally have to put them into the sea.................lots of geezer that I have to give a chance to the sharks, Rod Stewart, The Rolling Stones, Ii Divo.................shit forget

I really don't like S.M. either.. even though my first concert was Lilith Fair. whatever. she's boring.

I also dislike all the newer female-singer-songwriters in the '00s who imitate our artists of the 90's (Tori, Fiona, Liz, etc etc) No need to name them though.

The only girl I think who has a bit of potential is Kathleen Edwards.

I have a cover of "I'm on fire" by Heather Nova AND Sarah, and it completely ruins the song. Wheras the cover with just Heather is amazing.

I think Sarah would be more interesting if she, you know, did something!

I don't like a lot of the newer singer songwriters either, but the ones I do like are Charlotte Martin, Vienna Teng and Leona Naess.

Oh and there's a woman on myspace who is awesome! She's called Jenny Owen Youngs.

i think tori does the definitive cover of i'm on fire. sarah isn't completely horrid. she's got a few good songs.

I love Sarah's version of "Winter's Night" (Gordon Lightfoot's song), cause its just.. wonderful. Almost (almost) better than when Gord sings it.) I think credit has to be given to Sarah Mclachlan, though. She's made some really beautiful music, and I think its easy to dismiss her as being "boring." True, she may not push the envelope that much,but she does have a gorgeous voice, and her songs are always very soulful.

No, Tori's cover is really not one of her bests.

My favourite Tori cover is probably "A case of you.".

Heather's cover of "I'm on fire" is the best.

Though, I don't know if I like it more than the original because I will always have a soft spot for old Bruce.

Also, Sarah is just so boring. She can sing and she can play instruments, but her songs never take off, aside a few - like "Stupid", which I really like.

FTE is sarah at her prime.after that it's just blah. she IS boring but i love her especially FTE. fear is really awesome. and possession. and good enough.

also bruce's i'm on fire is the best. i don't like how h changes the words but that's prolly b/c i am biased towadrs bruce (eventhough devils and dust sucks)
