Re: What media was recommended to you, that you ended up hating?

Postmodern Jukebox. I really dislike their twee take on popular songs that don't even use the best parts. No harmonica in Timber? Where's Thrift Shop's bass line?

Plus, they strike me as... smug? Like, when Weird Al covers a song, I get the feeling he respects the original artist, not so much with Postmodern Jukebox.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I do not care for them.

I love some PMJ stuff, but their overall quality isn't really enough for me to buy the hype.

If you were recommended them based on liking vintage covers, you could try The Baseballs? Their thing is that they're a band of Elvis impersonators. Their version of Chasing Cars is really fun

Yeah, ia. They have a few covers that are really great, but overall... yeah. Twee, smug, skipping the good parts of the songs, etc.

Plus a lot of their stuff just frankly isn't very good. A lot of the covers are supposed to be specific genres but the instrumentation and arrangements are so samey that there's very little difference between "PMJ 1930s Jazz" and "PMJ 1960s Funk". PMJ's version of both is ragtime piano with some brass. And can't forget the singers who inevitably go way too far making it sound "old timey".
