ITT: Musicians who like or dislike music you wouldn't expect

Morrissey likes Smash Mouth
The bloke from Pantera is a massive Smiths fan
Michael Gira is a big Neil Diamond fan

Why would Jimmy Page not like Royal Blood? Also I'm like 95% sure that Aphex is memeing around.

>>73914303
Because he's old.

Neil Young was a big fan and early supporter of stuff like Sonic Youth and Devo. Not too surprising in the context of the work he did after discovering them, but it surely must have been a surprise at the time.

>The aging rock veteran, 59, was heard rubbishing critically acclaimed rock acts Radiohead and the Red Hot Chili Peppers - and then demanded to hear Captain Beefheart instead.
>A source said: He was drinking with a woman and didn't like the choice of tunes playing.
>Radiohead was on and he started complaining. He said, 'What's this rhyming crap?'
>The staff were obviously keen to please him so they changed the music. They put on the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who they thought might be more up his street. But he didn't like their stuff either and said it was like a 'nursery rhyme.'
>He then said he wanted to listen to Captain Beefheart.

Bowie had notably quite diverse taste in music, but I was still surprised to find that he was a fan of Black Flag and once went to one of their shows

>>73914479
>talentless hack turns out to be a huge pleb
wow....

Scott Walker digs Radiohead and even booked them for a festival he curated in 2000. And then of course the Sunn O))) collab.

Lou Reed called Yeezus a masterpiece and said it "brings tears to his eyes".

John Lydon really loves Kate Bush.

>>73914889
I don't even like Metallica all that much but Kirk Hammett is undeniably very skilled at guitar

>>73915029
Well who doesn't love Kate bush?

>>73915029
>John Lydon really loves Kate Bush.
Lydon's a big fan of a lot of stuff that those who only know him from the Pistols would be surprised about. He notably did a radio show in his Pistols days where he played a bunch of fairly out there stuff that went rather against their image, and it apparently really pissed off Malcolm McLaren.
http://www.fodderstompf.com/ARCHIVES/REVIEWS%202/capital77.html

More surprising to me though was that Sid Vicious was into Can and he was the one that turned Lydon onto it

>>73915029
>John Lydon really loves Kate Bush.
So does Big Boi

>>73914479
thats actually chill and well rounded taste. Sort of entry level but not too entry level, and it shows a devotion towards meal/hardrock without being too stuck in the classics.

Panic at the disco got their name from the smiths

>>73914277
RDJ is also a big fan of Ween iirc
Patti Smith likes Loveless
Elliott Smith was really into Chet Baker though I guess that's not surprising

Tyler Joseph likes clouddead and death grips

Mick Jagger really liked Devo's version of Satisfaction, and apparently called it his favourite cover of it
Similarly, Roger McGuinn really liked Husker Du's reworking of Eight Miles High
>>73915150
>Patti Smith likes Loveless
She actually did an album with Kevin Shields, which is worth checking out if you're a fan of both of them

Loveless has also been praised by Chuck Schuldiner as well as The Edge and Bono.

Thom Yorke likes Boris.

Hayley Williams is patrician

Ween are not Zappa fans

Darby Crash was a massive Bowie fan

>>73914826
This one isn't that surprising, considering he was a fan of the first band to ever bring that raw aggression to stage, long before that was at all common

Chino from Deftones likes Justin Bieber

>>73915271
It's not like black flag was the only punk band dude, plenty of others we're doing edgy and aggressive shit on stage

>>73915150
Elliott Smith also loved Nico's album The Marble Index and used to play it endlessly for weeks at a time.

>>73915190
>Mick Jagger really liked Devo's version of Satisfaction, and apparently called it his favourite cover of it
In the concert film/documentary Hardcore Devo, they talked about having Jagger in the studio to show him the cover, and he was dead silent and emotionless for the first 30 seconds, then just shot up and started dancing.

I mean how couldn't you love that cover though

In a similar vein, Jimmy Page called Dread Zeppelin his favorite band

>>73915271
>Darby Crash was a massive Bowie fan
A lot of punks were Bowie fans surprisingly

>>73915286
He probably meant the stooges, whom bowie was an early supporter of

Kozelek covered Elliott Smith for a tribute comp so I guess he at least somewhat likes him. I was sure he'd just think he's whiny or something.

>>73915486
What will Kanye not do for edgy fashion statements?

>>73914768
lmao

Perhaps not that surprising, but Blur were big fans of the Cardiacs, and they invited the band to open for them at a big show they did in London. They didn't go down well, and supposedly the band had enough coins thrown at them that they paid for their dinner with it.

>>73915092
Didn't the documentary say that it was 3 stacks who loved Kate Bush?

>>73914479
glad he recognises Rated R as the best QOTSA album

Apparently Kurt was a big fan of Bauhaus and a secret lover of goth/deathrock. Courtney said his Bauhaus records were all scratched up from being played a lot. This is coming from Courtney Love though.

>>73915692
he claimed to have never listened to joy division though

>>73915692
Kurt's taste was quite diverse and well developed, so that doesn't surprise me. I read once that his favourite song of 1991 was There's No Other Way by Blur once though, and that took me a bit aback

>>73915486

He specifically likes Cascadian/Depressive black metal, especially Xasthur.

Taylor Swift is more of a patrician than you.
Ryan Adams listens to more punk than you.
Chelsea Wolfe goes deeper on metal than you.
Kanye West knows more about electronic music than most electronic musicians.

Pretty much ever "poseur" artist in any genre is, in their personal life, a fucking expert in the non-poseur artists of their genre and would put most of us to shame with their expertise.

>>73916168
That's the point of the Shaggs though, it's just girls playing random shit because they have no idea how to play the instruments and that's what makes it so unique, if they actually did play good, this album would had been quickly forgotten as generic 60's garage rock

It's like how a parent loves their kid's shitty elementary school play. It's just so sweet.

>>73915029
Yeezus is a great album but Lou Reed was probably just being a sarcastic shit

Madness frontman Suggs was a fan and roadie for Skrewdriver and friend of Ian Stuart's. The TV/radio presenter Mark Radcliffe also drummed for them. This was in their early days as a pre-Nazi band and is understandably something both keep quiet about, but it was still a surprised to find out.

>>73915238

>>73916221
>>73916248
You're glossing over the fact that they didn't even want to make it and their dad forced them to. He even said something like "I want to market them while they're still young and hot."

>Michael Gira is a fan of minimalism
Why would that be surprising at all? A lot of Swans' music is super repetitive and minimalist in arrangement.

>>73916406
>I didn't agree with all the techno bands who said rock was dead either. I like rock music. Oasis is pretty good, they're like a modified version of old music like The Beatles. That's OK. I mean, I suppose my ambient stuff is just a modified version of Brian Eno. The difference is, I had never heard any Brian Eno before I started making records.

The link was marked as spam but if you google that it comes up.

Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson have collaborated multiple times. And yeah, most of those songs have been related to pot.

Bob Dylan recently gave Kesha the best hug of her life, according to Kesha. Also Dylan is the reason Kesha started writing songs.

David Bowie said the one kind of music he never got into was country music.

Bob Dylan was on a Kurtis Blow record when hip-hop was still relatively new.

David Letterman's favorite song is Everlong.

Merle Haggard said modern country is crap, the way "they're treating the president is criminal" when Obama was in office and wrote a song for Hillary.

>>73914277
I can see kevin liking deftones, but the aphex-oasis thing is a joke. only natural he'd dislike radiohead but he distanced himself from those comments a while ago

>classic rock guitarist likes buttrock revival band
not surprising

>>73915692
kurt loved noise rock and post-punk, I'd be surprised if he didn't like bauhaus

>>73916065
the guy is really quite eclectic and it shows in his music, it's a shame a majority of his audience is closeminded and listens to nothing but outdated classic prog and shit metal

In the 70s and early 80s Bruce Springsteen and Joe Strummer had a friendly rivalry and viewed each other as the English and American equivalents to one another.

>>73914826
Bowie also likes Grandaddy and went to one of their shows and surprised the band after the show was finished, who hadn't even seen him

Slash is a fan of the Dutch Post-Punk band Minny Pops and had them open for him at a show in England

>>73916757
The Clash seems to have always been pals with roots related rockers. Joe Ely, a country singer-songwriter, was on Should I Stay Or Should I Go

>Pretty much ever "poseur" artist in any genre is, in their personal life, a fucking expert in the non-poseur artists of their genre and would put most of us to shame with their expertise.
Seriously this
Probably what the case is with me

Debatably the case with Radiohead and The Beatles and Bowie

>>73916899
definitely the case with those (probably not all members of radiohead, but definitely jonny). admittedly they do have some artistic integrity themselves though.

I think what's more interesting is that there are probably a shitload of guys in who play a small role in popular bands (or even just session musicians) that really love music but just got dragged into making shit (and making good money from it). cognitive dissonance must be off the chart

>>73915147
Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ, Hang the DJ

>>73915689
In all fairness, the comparison is obvious.

Black Francis, lead singer of the Pixies, was a big fan of Peter, Paul & Mary.

>>73915271
>Ween are not Zappa fans
this is incorrect they've stated before that they like his music but are not influenced by him

>>73917090
They said they don't like anything post-Mothers

>>73916561
thanks lad

>>73916354

It sounds great and that's all that matters. The only things I don't like about the album are the short length and some of the lyrics. The dissonance is beautiful and exciting, the off-kilter rhythms keep you grooving, it's just a fun album. Anyone that says otherwise probably doesn't even enjoy music.

Brian Wilson is a fan of this band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJGzm2fF2Uo

Michael Gira likes the Beatles.

>>73917857

I remember it had akron/family on there wich fucking blew my mind considering not even /mu/ ever talks about that god-tier band.

>>73917372
But mothers is where all of the really good and really weird stuff happened, so it adds up.

Merzbow once mentioned Bring Me The Horizon as a band he had been listening to and enjoying.

>>73918231
Zappa's got some great post-mothers albums, though. Apostrophe and Joe's Garage come to mind.

Mike Kinsella is really into Depeche Mode and synth pop
Tim Kinsella is into Beefheart and Can (makes sense when you hear joan of arc tho)

Autechre are huge fans of hip-hop, especially Young Thug.

Pretty much every pop/rock musician likes The Beatles, tho.

>>73922833
Deftones and System of a down are the only good things to come out of that era

Steve Albini likes Bush.

>"Our equipment was held for ransom after a show," Hammill remembers. "It was normally people who were held to ransom, and normally their fingers or ears that were returned as proof - which worried us. We'd done a show where the Left were the promoters. But the more I think about this, I don't think I understand what happened in Italy. I don't think anyone did. There was some degree of organised crime, an element of police corruption, some kind of Fascist involvement. Maybe this was the point at which we realised we are just a group, and we're chasing after an urgent human laugh at the absurdity of everything, and trying to be very scary. But that was when we seriously ran up against bigger things."

this is true , he makes up random shit all the time.

although there is something to the radiohead beef I think he legitimately felt some blow to his ego that apparent guitar players were able to capture a little of his essense, at least in the publics eye. imagine being the king of experimental electronic music and then one day everyone's asking you if youve ever met the guys who wrote "creep"

>>73924177
He was good friends with Joe Strummer and played tribute to him at Glastonbury

Kozelek is also really big on Godflesh and covered Like Rats once, but then again given the Jesu Collaborations that isn't as surprising as it used to be.

>6. Eberhard Weber Fluid Rustle - It's like having your brain massaged.

>7. Captain Beefheart Blue Jeans and Moonbeams - This is the Beefheart album where he writes love songs like nobody else.

>8. Stevie Wonder The Secret Life of Plants - Because it's a modern symphony with a high emotional content.

>9. Pink Floyd The Wall - Because it reminds me of last Christmas and open fires and I wish I'd written it.

She also said this about Zappa:
Kate Bush: "I never challenged or asked for the serious interpretation and evaluation of my music. A sense of quality does not exclude humour."
Interviewer: "Do you have an ideal or predecessor for that?"
Kate Bush: "Frank Zappa was a very smart man. He said that, as an artist, you can live a free and untamed life, in case you have a solid family life. I love this idea."
Interviewer: "Why?"
Kate Bush: "I´ve never met Zappa, but people who have portray him as a very dear person, different from his image. I have always preferred my privacy over my public life, because I work best with a stable home base. The idea that the artist who suffers ist the best doesn´t apply to me. I work better, when I´m fine."

>A lot of punks were Bowie fans surprisingly

That's because Bowie and Mick Ronson invented punk in 1972 with the riff from "Hang on to Yourself". I'm not being rhetorical or making a controversial statement, either, many musicians have said this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL0Vwqm1rGc

>>73926594
Sorry dude, the Stooges and the MC5 were both doing shit way harder than this, and way more punky than this, long before this song came along. I can see it having an influence, but saying they invented punk is disingenuous. The Stooges probably had influenced that riff.

Go see grmsfags using racist slurs for an hour while constantly whining how the board is mean to them:
>>73926450

>>73923950
Agreed. Friend saw them at SXSW, apparently they're consistently good live.

>>73921162
>diverse

>>73926633
You're right that 'invented punk" was a poor choice of words on my part, and you are definitely right about the influence of The Stooges and MC5. Their attitude, stage presence, vocal styling etc. You are dead-on. My bad for creating a misleading train of thought here.

But if we're talking about the "commonly accepted" first Punk album - The Ramones self-titled in 1976 -- simply listen to how many times that riff is used on that album.

>>73926308
Scott Walker's one of the most interesting musicians of the modern era (with an exquisite baritone voice to boot). His four tracks on Nite Flights are four of the best songs of the 70s, and Tilt and The Drift are two of the most artful and memorable avant-garde albums.
