Have you ever met someone who only listened to one band?

[X¤MurderDoll¤X]

these people drive me crazy.

[Despare]

Never, I'd like to think people like that don't exist.

[neverending]

No.............................

[cheebacheeba]

I've known people to go through annoying phases, yep.
Though usually somewhat temporary.

[Elvis_Christ]

Yeh I know what you mean. An old friend of mine would basically only listen to Pink Floyd. We were flatmates for a year and I must've heard The Wall about a billion times. Not cool.

[neverending]

Haha- I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd- but I hate The Wall... it's the most overplayed album in history.

Yeh its kinda a shame most people who like Pink Floyd are into their average albums. All the pre-Dark Side Of The Moon stuff is great but the rest is WAY overplayed. I enjoy their Psych stuff a lot more especially The Nile Song.

I bought The Wall when I was about 7 or 8 so I've heard it a lot over the years haha.

I made this thread because I have a friend who only likes radiohead and hates every band I tell him to listen to.

That would really suck.How can you only like Radiohead?Or even like Radiohead for that matter?

[neverending]

Different people have different tastes. It happens.

[Elvis_Christ]

It seems to be the case with a lot of Radiohead and Tool fans. They just get all caught up in the one band. Bit silly to keep your blinders on when there's so much good music out there. I usually grab something new to check out each day. Gotta keep your mind open right?

[cheebacheeba]

What's wrong with Radiohead?
Personally I get annoyed with people that are only into one kind of music but don't know it...my younger brother, tells me I need to "expand my horizons" because I don't get into his screamo HEAVY heavy metal stuff...and yknow apparently this other band he listens to that sounds exactly the same is like, a completely different genre of music?
Me, I listen to styles that are outside of "rock", one way or another as may sub-categories he chooses to call his stuff...but I get told I need to expand my horizons, and that I don't like this music because I'm not listening to it in...the...right way?

I remember the most annoying thing was, we had this housemate once. Guy with something akin to schizophrenia who would go off his meds here and there?
At this time, he used to do great things like talk to birds...but generally became withdrawn, weird, and eventually stupid and self destructive. Though he would get in this mode of obsession where he would think the music was like giving him "vibes" or messages?
I remember one week that he played that fucking Placebo shit at least 50 times...I never much liked that band, but now, I hate it hate it hate it.

[Elvis_Christ]

I can't stand Placebo either and as for Radiohead I just find them dull.

[Deimos]

Agreed there.

Yes I have met people like that and both of them were hardcore Pearl Jam fans that only listened to Pearl Jam and everything else to them sucked. They also had to announce it all the time and would even fight over it....fucking idiots.

Agreed, I'll add PEarl Jam to the Tool and Radiohead fans case.

[Dante'sInferno]

I use to be like that. But, I haven't found anyone who only listens to one band. I'm glad I don't listen to just one band either now.

[The Krell]

Not since High school.Knew a guy who was so into Led Zeppelin it was just annoying.I'd try to get him listening to Buzzcocks and the Pistols and shit like that..and he would just absolutely hate it!! I always enjoyed his anger

[ProfondoXxRosso]

Ugh... How about somebody that doesnt listen to music at all, unless its sung in church...?

My fiances parents are these people, and yes, they do exist.

[nightmare_of _death]

nope never met someone who only listens to one band.I myself wouldn't be able to stand that.There's always new music out there,and you never know when your going to come across something you like.Sure I go through times where I'll listen to one particular artist a lot,but I still have a variety.

[Doc Faustus]

Bands this seems to happen with:
Pink Floyd
Radiohead
Led Zeppelin
Phish
The Grateful Dead
Marilyn Manson
The Beatles
And the number one overzealous obsessive fan offender....
The Doors.

I love the Doors and Zeppelin and listen to 100's of other bands. I challenge the Doors overzealous obsessive fan offender with Pearl Jam. ;)

[fiend_skull]

I know a lot of people like that, and that isn't the part that bothers me, what bothers me is that they openly resist looking for new music because as they say "I found a band I like, why should I look for something else" quote for quote. I can understand if there is a primary band someone listens to, but I don't quite understand the idea of refusing the idea of looking for new music for a little bit, because they never know, they might find a band they like more. God knows I've found new bands and I was blown away.

[friday13thfan]

That used to be myself with Slipknot......Wow almost painful to say that. Cant even stand them anymore.
