The Band, The Music, or the Lyrics?
I have friends who like the crappiest songs(imo) from their favorite bands, Friends that love a song because they like or can relate to the lyrics, and there's the crowd that I fall into that likes the Music and the Vocal sounds and could care less about the Band or the lyrics. I'm not ashamed to say that there's some Led Zeppelin songs that I DON'T like. However, I recently said something bad about the new(ish) NiN album and my friend looked at me like I was a traitor.
As I said before, I like the music. My brain doesn't even process the lyrics half the time and I don't think I like more than 10% of the music from any of my favorite bands.
How about everyone else? Do you follow a band into the pits of "not their best material?" Do you disregard the music much like I disregard the lyrics? Or maybe you're a little bit of all three..
