DavidMcKay Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Wow - it looks like I am a multi-asshole/omni-arsehole [size=3][i](delete as appropriate)[/i][/size]! Although the author's comments and arguments are so funny that I don't think I mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Damn, almost made it but failed at 'Seven Nation Army' (though the main riff does sound good when played on a P bass strung with flatwounds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I fully understand this apart from billy Joel and ub40 Which I like lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subbeh Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Only one I like is Sweet Caroline but I already knew I was an asshole Edited January 5, 2016 by Subbeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It might be overplayed , the lyrics might be twaddle, but I'm not going to lie and say I dislike the Eagles , so I was out at the first hurdle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I failed dismally, i found myself as a level 8 a'hole as there were at least two tracks I had never heard of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alittlebitrobot Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't like any of these songs, but I'm not happy about my musical taste lining up (if only briefly) with someone being such an arsehole about it. This really is lose-lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 yes, I suppose Jack White does look like Edward Scissorhands now you come to mention it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't like any of those songs (don't hate them either, haven't heard several of them anyway) - but good grief, what a useless, gargantuan buttock the person who wrote that is.

OddBass65 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I have to admit to a fondness for Jimmy Buffet's happy holiday nonsense - comes from some good memories of the Florida Keys. If that makes me an asshole, so be it. In my defence, I agree with the rest of the list - although I'm not familiar with a couple, and don't care enough to check them out.

Rubbersoul Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm afraid I am a fan of Jack White. If that makes me an asshole so be it. I presume the article was written with a fair amount of tongue in cheek, otherwise the writer is the greatest asshole of them all and a judgemental prick.

colgraff Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Dislike all of them except 7 Nation Army. Dislike We Didn't Start the Fire more than any other song. You did start the fire, Billy. Every single time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 There seem to be three basic options here: 1. Author is expecting to be taken seriously, in which case the level of his delusion is a pretty good source of humour in it's own right; or, 2. Author is not expecting to be taken seriously, in which case then fair enough - cutting edge humour and all that. Personally I don't really find it funny, but - as with musical taste - each to his or her own; or, 3. Author is looking to make a serious point but doing it in such a way as to stimulate discussion by being deliberately provocative, in which case he appears to have succeeded (to some degree at least). Long and winding tale cut to shribbons, he's letting us know that there's some songs he [s]doesn't like[/s] [i]really[/i] doesn't like...

bassace Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 They have a point, especially RRW by UB40, the B&W Minstrels of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonunders Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Without an arsehole we would have to carry around bags of sh*t. Does that make us a sh*t bag....baby I quite like some of those songs as I grew up with them.

[/quote] I don't think so , they where a very creative band in the beginning , and whilst they lost me later on , they genuinely seemed to enjoy commercialising some of those songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Apparently as I dislike all the songs, the internet thinks I'm [i]not [/i]an asshole, but that's just nonsense because I [i]know for sure[/i] that I am.
