What bands does everyone rave about that you can't stand?

[kreutz2112]

Boards of Canada are light years ahead of the rest of the human race.

agreed. They have been for like 15 years.

Speaking of DJ's has anybody heard The Crystal Method DRIVE album?
I know it came out awhile ago and I asked in another thread, just wanted to see what you guys thought.

And for me it would be pretty much anything METAL.
My friends love it and cant get enough.
I appreciate some of the riffs and grooves but for me its comes down to the singing, or should I say the my-stomachs-coming-thru-my-mouth-screaming. I just dont find this appealing at all and I think it downgrades the music.

Paging Andrew... bballarl to thread...

My hatred might stem from the fact that in high school I used to be stalked by a U2 fanatic.. This chick was obsessed w/me and thought I was a deadringer for Bono..WTF?!?!?

And...

They royally suck ass and are the most overrated band on the planet..

[Trailmix]

AGREED!

[Trailmix]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Most of it sounds like vomiting into a microphone.

[Sexecutioner]

Can I get some back up on the Sublime issue?

i got your back, sublime is good shit. they sucked live, but their albums are great. and i really dont think this was worthy of another thread, but whatever.

[paulb]

Sonic Youth
Jarvis Cocker
David Bowie

311, Matisyahu, and Sublime all fucking suck.

Godspeed You! Obnoxious Exclamation

I like Godspeed, they are good live. Any band with 15+ members is always fun to watch.. I'm From Barcelona, Broken Social Scene..

good times.

[nationocean]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Most of it sounds like vomiting into a microphone.

lol. that can be said about this new trend of bands.

[nationocean]

I'm probably alone on this one but MIA really grinds my gears. Can't stand the bitch.

[C DUB YA]

U Mother Fuckin' 2

you are a silly know nothing

[Hawkings]

i got your back, sublime is good shit. they sucked live, but their albums are great. and i really dont think this was worthy of another thread, but whatever.

i had 40 oz. to Freedom and Robbin the Hood, and was into em', and Steppin' Razor I still think is an amazing cover. Somewhere along the line they just seemed more like music for 'guys with trucks drinking every Fri/Sat night at bars in Huntington Beach' than me. Maybe just KROQ playing them more than any other band except RHCP for years just slowly drove me insane. Overexposure might have done it





the song with Gwen was fun too


Edit: from other thread

they were cool to me when i was a teenager and smoking pot...now, not so much.

maybe that's it too, i had chemical parity with the band, back then, but eventually stopped partying like that so the music didn't resonate anymore

[canexplain]

Sonic Youth
Jarvis Cocker
David Bowie

me thinks i am going to have a heart attack from this thread ...... i understand the 1st two, even though i like them, but bowie .... he has changed so much thru the years, its like saying you hate 5 different kind of music, or 5 different singers, etc ... i dont get that one ... canx**

i was looking for my bowie pics from the area show, but they must be on my pc at home .....

[kreutz2112]

dont worry ron, paulb idolizes the ed banger crew so his opinion is pretty much moot.

[PassiveTheory]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Most of it sounds like vomiting into a microphone.

QFT.

[paulb]

I had nothing against David Bowie until I stayed with a family friend during Lollapalooza and got my ear fucked as to how great David Bowie was and was shown all his videos and shit and records played against my will....and now i hate the guy. not cause he makes bad music or anything, cause of how this bitch exposed me.

[luckyface]

I'm probably alone on this one but MIA really grinds my gears. Can't stand the bitch.

[Courtney]

and you have seen all of them live? i know that makes a major difference for a lot of bands ... canx**

I understand that maybe some music sounds better live because you have the whole crowd experience and stage show and such, or sometimes bands/musicians change up the sound to make it more acoustic or droney or whatever. But I still don't fully get it when people make the "oh but you have to see them live" comment. Most people have a limited amount of time and money. It seems silly to expect somebody to pay $15-60 for a concert ticket and go and see a band they really don't enjoy on CD just because they might like the sound better in a performance environment. Music festivals are the exception to the rule, I guess, in the sense that you're already there and you've already paid your money. But still, there are usually alternatives which are more appealing than a band you've been unimpressed with via recordings.
