Asher Gomez
ukulele
Colton Torres
god its awful
Adam Foster
Detuned Supersaw
Warbly Saxaphone
Those shitty "house" synth chords (you know the ones)
Sebastian Watson
This.
And for instruments that make a song good no matter what; bagpipes.
Caleb Gray
None, because I am not a philistine that hates an instrument for no particular, well-grounded reason.
David Lopez
When clapping is part of the song. Fuck you
Sebastian Nguyen
Exactly how? I think it's a pretty good backing instrument.
The fucking hydraulophone on the other hand, who came up with that shit? why is it being used at all?
Luke Cooper
also this
Bentley Reyes
How do you not like house synth chords? That shit's soulful
Lucas Carter
...
Jaxson Long
harmonicas
I can't stand them a lot of the time
Landon Bailey
Gnobos
Aaron Brooks
>ivWhen the guitarist is using the sparklies
Ian Parker
>hasn't heard the bongo solo in Comus' Diana
Ayden Young
my dad used to play The One album a lot when I was younger, and I remember just cringing so hard at the start of Love Me Do I just couldn't listen to the rest. So I blame the harmonica for me getting into the Beatles fairly late
Julian Bell
Titus Andronicus - The Battle of Hampton Roads
Juan Long
Hate the folky styles
But power blues harmonica is the shit.
Carson Hughes
i really am sick of trap hi hats at this point
pleb
yah
pleb

Levi Powell
>Detuned Supersaw
why tho?
For me it's sitar
Josiah Hughes
in anything that isn't Country or folk
Xavier Rodriguez
>day of the baphomets
Christian Ward
Banjo is one of the best instruments though, regardless of genre.
Thomas Martin
youtube.com
It works out sometimes
Carter Cruz
You have to be rooted in some really weird prejudices to hate an instrument. There are certainly cliche or uninteresting ways of using instruments, but to say any instrument is straight up bad just sounds ignorant to me.
Jaxon Gray
well the evolution of synth has produced some downright obnoxious sounds
Zachary Gray
Guitar
Eli Green
this
Adrian Flores
Aiden Thompson
wouldn't pick an instrument but i absolutely can't stand whispery vocals
Julian Cooper

youtube.com
I think the instrumentation fits the vocals really well

Guitar. I liked Metallica though.
Carter Collins
synth brass or strings
Zachary Howard

Luke Gutierrez
The absolute worst.

808 Hi-Hats, snare.
David Ortiz
Male vocals.
Landon Sanders
this is the only actual valid answer. never been used well in a song ever
Anthony Smith
>you have to have a reason to dislike the sound of an instrument
fuck off
Isaiah Sullivan
>sitar
biggest pleb ITT
Alexander Lewis
Animal Collective managed to do that well, but I agree otherwise
youtu.be
Wyatt Martinez
not him but it sounds cheesy as shit to me too
Parker Rodriguez
Ukulele almost qualifies, but Beirut, Sufjan, and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole all used it to fine effect.
for me it's probably the sound of a downtuned ibanez through a mesa boogie amp with the gain turned all the way up--you know, that nu-metal tone
Kayden King
electric guitar
Gabriel Cox
it only works in those old-ass techno tracks
Blake Torres
but it's great you plebs
Jordan Sullivan
THIS
I fucking hate that shitty buzzy scooped mids sound
I used to think ukulele was unusable but I liked it on Smile
Whispery tumblr punk covers with it need to die tho
Carson Sanders
Unironically, I think that backbeats ruined the drum kit.
Carson Parker
Is mayonnaise an instrument?
Jaxon Martinez
so drummers ruined the drumkit? gotcha.
Ryder Evans
Bentley Phillips
whistling
Jonathan Reed
You sure about that?
youtube.com
Jordan Wilson
Joshua Hill
Instruments that make a song sound good:
Cowbells
Organ
Vibraphone
Jacob Miller
Most retarded post I've ever read.
Sebastian Foster
This, and intermittent sitar or flute
Grayson Long
I can think of a couple Angels of Light songs that use ukulele well
other than that yeah
Oliver Morgan
But bongos are usually a sign that shit's going down
Nicholas Robinson
this
Brandon Parker
>Vibraphone
Good taste
Benjamin Price
i appreciate when songs have xylophone (or glockenspiel, you get what i'm saying)
Colton Morales
i like ukes
Logan Sanchez
Theremin
youtube.com
Gabriel Roberts
This Is the Day man. That entire album has all sorts of instrumental flourishes that give it such a full sound; there's always something to discover with each listen.
John Thomas
Organs. Can't stand that shit. Deep Purple can eat a dick
Luke Clark
Panpipes.
Samuel Perez
Children yelling lyrics. Like in Lord of the Game. Fuck that shit
Grayson Rodriguez
Washboard, jew's harp, kazoo, the list could go on.
Christian Butler
unrelated but what percussion effect/instrument is at 0:03 in this Death Grips song? It doesn't ruin the song for me, in fact it makes it better, but idk what it is
Dominic Lee
wtf u talking about? that sample at the end? that's a retarded thing to nitpick
Parker Adams
I think he means the girl singing throughout
Asher Taylor
>mfw ukulele + glockenspiel + whistling combo
Benjamin Thomas
that's mexican girl. she's like in her 20s.
Jaxson Ross
Kayden Wright
...
Jack Price
>my name is pleb
Adrian Roberts
Pedal steel guitar used mainly in country music. That whiny fucking weeping noise is so awful, ruins 90% of the genre
Dominic Sanders
vibes are tasteful and have a ton of color
Austin Young
Brand New used a theremin in The Devil and God and i thought it was tasteful and expansive
Justin Peterson
I love that sound, agree it's overused though. Should be limited to solos.
