Bands who you were inexplicably obsessed with at some stage

[colossalhorse]

Fuck you Stingray!

I might download it to listen to on the way home from the pub. Worry some passers by with my over emotive hand gestures.

Belle & Sebastian
Brand New

i now have thr bridge stuck in my head (sounds painful lol!!). am i right in thinking it goes ‘love is like a shooting star, it don’t matter who you are’ because if so, fucking hell

[colossalhorse]

Yup. That’s the part that’s been stuck in my head too. “If you can only run for cover/it’s just a waste of time.”

So deep.

I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.

[iamwiggy]

not sure i ever had an obsession with one band over all others but What It Is To Burn by Finch was a properly massive album for me

@Aggpass

Belle & Sebastian

I still have a lot of love for B&S. But yeah, my obsession with them was a bit irrational in hindsight.

[Sgreen]

The White Stripes - not sure how I feel about this now.

[yuggy]

they have at least 3 excellent albums, not odd

belle & seb - yeah i adored them as a teen, seeing them live in 2015 was the nail in the coffin though… Something very, very creepy about Stuart.

The first three Hot Chip albums when I was around 17/18 but still in school.
Don’t know why, made a change from punk I suppose. Thought it was the acceptable face of dancey music when I was too young and bashful to dance. I guess I do know why.

Incubus

I was about to post this as my secret shame as well. Those lyrics on Make Yourself, good lord, in retrospect it’s like they had a 7th grader ghostwriting for them. It’s funny, I think there was an exact moment where the spell was broken for me and I could never listen to anything by them again - I think it was Track 3 or something on the album after Morning View where it suddenly ends with a really forced obnoxious, trying-to-be artsy, hushed “for good, for good, for good, fuck off, for good, for good” fadeout. Hearing that something clicked and the rest of their output was put into proper context.

[colon_closed_bracket]

Their lead singer has the wettest of wet blanket bedwetter voices.

[Ruffers]

He was once stood next to me flailing wildly at a Xiu Xiu gig. Made it hard to concentrate tbh.

[TAFH33]

Oh god, those fan theories on usenet about “the proper” way to listen to Lateralus were the worst. It’s like they were not-so-secretly hoping for a hologram of Maynard to emanate from their speakers to congratulate them on being the most elite, true fan of all, the only one capable of understanding how deep a line like “there is so much more” is.

A guy I fancied when I was 16 introduced me to Tool and went on about all the hidden meanings, like how Stinkfist wasn’t actually about fisting but about feeling something inside like the feeling of being fisted, don’t really know what he was getting at as I tended to zone out at that point.

It’s about fisting isn’t it.
