rap albums that begin with spoken word. begin with an INTRO track like with one verse over a drone beat or even a skit, but not some dude goin "ay....dis the [Dirty South/East Coast/West Coast/People's Republic of China] bringin' hits to yo ass".

I like a lot of (pop) indie, but the typical indie vocal, particularly the Wayne Coyne/Jonathan Donahue type of singer who has been dominating an otherwise excellent genre for the past 10-15 years or so.

the '90s snare drum sound (examples: "Beautiful Disaster" by 311, "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors)
― Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 00:35 (thirteen years ago) link
- that sweaty 80s blues-revival sound of the Stevie Ray Vaughn variety. This extends to stuff like Tom Jones, the Blues Brothers, the Commitments, JJ Cale and stuff like that. - I don't like that liquidy pad sound you get in loads of 90s drum'n'bass. It makes me feel like I'm at a spa or something. Don't know why it's so ubiquitous - despite liking noise and electronic music, I don't get the appeal of things like Fennesz, Fuck Buttons and Tim Hecker. It's ugly and unsatisfying music - too much compression, zero low-end. You can't chill out to it, space out to it or dance to it, so what is it for?

Every sound has its place and use, but probably my most consistent least favorite over time has been the splash cymbal.

In terms of contemporary music, it's probably the use of soaring and 'inspirational' "WHOOOOAAAAA-OOOOOHHHH-OOOOHHHH" background choruses in pop songs and commercials, as presumably popularized by the band fun.

I've probably talked about this in cringe threads, but I really hate the close-up sounds of like soda commercials where its like DRIBBLY POURING GUK GUK GUK GUK AHHHH and now every "lean" influenced rap album is like a fucking soda ad with all these terrible sloshing noises

There's this water drip sound you hear on a lot of country songs from the late 70s/early 80s. Kenny Rogers used it. Garth Brooks too.
And it just taps a cold shiver right up my spine when I hear it.
