Bands that you never "got".

I really like em...so much so that I'm torn between them and bjork on the Friday night at Glastonbureh

Hmmm....a genius and legend in my lifetime or a band of young fellas bashing out some really good tunes that will make me grin like a daft un...

well seeing as i dont really 'get' bjork (though i think i need to try a bit harder) i might go with the arctic monkeys. its easy to dislike them but the fact is they are really fucking good

It goes a bit deeper than that, for me.

If you like RHCP, you're basically mentally ill.

i swear they release a song every fucking week and each one is worse than the last. i like some of the early stuff however
 
yeah rhcp get right on my nerves. when i was in thailand, everywhere you bloody went some cunt was listening to them.

but bjork: might not get her. still, old school metal is the worst in this respect (tho i suppose it might just be shit).
 
i love 'em too - my feelgood music is usually the Ramones. However, much as i love all things punk what about GenerationX? Billy 'the wanker ' Idol, doing his interpretation of a blonde Elvis? Whats all that about then?

I don't get the whole whiney Coldplay/Keane/Snow Patrol thing either.


And Cheesy - Patti Smith? Listen again girl, and open your ears this time ;) .
 
also........... the cunting fratellis. its like they have a machine that has the formula that will write songs that 'football fans' can sing along too.
fucking shit
 
Madonna. The only song I ever really liked was Ray of Light.

The deification of the Clash, Nirvan, Joe Strummer and Kurt Cobain. Great bands but I feel like I missed the meeting when they were annointed unto a higher order.

Definately Smashing Pumpkins. Snore fest for me. Dunno why everyone loved them?

Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Why cant everyone just hear that all the songs sound the same and his voice is grinding?


You know the score ... :D

ETA after I saw this :

I'm indifferent, or worse, to Nirvana/Kurt, but Joe S. and the Clash are very well liked for some pretty good reasons, IMO ...
 
i knew i shouldn't look at this thread because it would annoy me.. and it has.

among the justly derided lists of pisspoor nonsense, to see TOM WAITS?

i give up

I just thought 'what the fuck is he muttering and on about'?
It might have helped that I was smoking a LOT of weed at the time (didn't drink alcohol back then)...you just lay back stoned and all these washes of sounds and snippets of almost demonic speech came and laid waste to your (my) head :D He scared me :)

manic street preachers.

depressing and boring, really boring.

why do people love them so much? people musta just thought 'they must be good cos they have a cool name' or something.:rolleyes:

Well I love Motown Junk, but I got less interested in them when they stopped trying to be the valley's answer to guns and roses meets the clash... fake fur glamour and amphetamine attitude whats not to like
 
The red hot chili peppers, I know people whose taste I respect who love 'em, but their funk rock thing just leaves me cold.
 
The manics are amazing live and dont walk around the stage calling the crowd welsh tossers by wank ego ridden tossers like `noel and liam......!!! And dont start me on Ian crack monkey face Brown.......:mad:
 
Primal Scream.

i tried to like them. they're pretty good in an alrightish kind of a way...but i don't get how they're one of these massively popular bands that people go on and on about.

to me most of it sounds like the producer presed 'play' on a drum machine, then the band all took E and jammed Rolling Stones songs for a bit.
