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

[humanoid]

Yeah I fully expect to get a lot of "WTF!!" responses for that.

I love them, and have the time of my life each time I've seen them live.....but I can totally understand you not liking them....it would be insanely boring if we all had the same taste

[Barbara, the ninja]

Also, Animal Collective.

[bballarl]

Agreed on Gogol Bordello.

[Mr.Nipples]

justice and all that ed banger shit...tool...billy joel...

[humanoid]

Also, Animal Collective.

that's another good one..I've tried, they just don't do a damn thing for me

[humanoid]

The Who has always bothered me....I like Pete Townshend, and he has some interesting solo stuff.....but Roger Daltrey just sucks IMO

[bballarl]

I agree with Billy Joel. And Elton John. Although both have a single or two I like.

[smoke]

Radiohead
Incubus
RATM (who i actually thought were cool BEFORE the reunion)
Beastie Boys

most mainstream hiphop

[Courtney]

I admit that I like buying Elton John records from thrift stores for $1 because they inevitable have completely awesome covers.

That's not a very good confession.

[PineapplePete]

Tiesto

That's gay.

[Courtney]

That's gay.

Yes, we are talking about Elton John.

[rage patton]

You are all fucking crazy for saying Gogol Bordello. Seriously.

See them at Coachella this year. You wont regret it.

[BeHereNOW]

I completely disagree with that. Every member of Radiohead is an amazing musician and Sigur Ros is absolutely beautiful.

[betao]

sigur ros..lol...such a terrible band.

i... i dont even know what to say. what makes them a "terrible band"?

[betao]

oh, and my votes

Acrade Fire - just can't get into them

The National - maybe I just didnt try hard enough.

RHCP - bland in my opinion

Nirvana/Pearl Jam - not a grunge fan

Justice - got old after a while (but i havent seen them live yet, i plan to soon)

[BeHereNOW]

Dan Deacon

I completely agree.....it will be completely nuts!!

[humanoid]

one of my main ones that I forgot.....Modest Mouse

[ThomThom]

Everytime I mention that I can't really get into Gogol Bordello or that I don't care much for their recorded stuff I always get the usual "You have to see them live" replies, but I really have no desire to see them live whatsoever. I should at least maybe try to catch them at Coach this year if I have the opportunity.

[Shuwstah]

I completely disagree with that. Every member of Radiohead is an amazing musician and Sigur Ros is absolutely beautiful.

How anyone could stand that horrible noise that sigur ros makes is beyond me...

and radiohead has to be the most over rated and one of the crappiest bands in the history of all music. sorry, its the truth.

[wmgaretjax]

Daft Punk

Yes, yes you do. I seriously have talked to so many people who had ZERO interest in seeing them live. But saw them because other people told them too. Pretty much every single person walks away impressed with a giant smile on thier face.

It is extremely difficult to not enjoy yourself immensely at one of their shows

ThomThom, I thought the same way. I heard some of their recorded stuff, and didn't think too much of it. However, I checked out a few clips of them live, and I was speechless. They are freakin insane live. Like, out of control crazy must see. I will definitely be seeing them this year, and you should too. If you don't like them, then you can truly say you don't like them.

but, you should always check out a band when they are at their best - and in this case, GB is at their best when seen live.

[rage patton]

M.I.A. I cannot stand her. She is seriously the worst thing to ever happen to music.
Hot Chip. Fuck them. They are not very good at all.
The Streets. "Hi! I have a British accent and I am raping. Aren't I sooooooo indie!?"

Bands don't become as renowned and critically acclaimed as Radiohead by making crappy music. I'm sure the greater majority of people on this planet would agree with me.

I guess it's just a matter of opinion as far as Sigur Ros goes, but I really do think their music is beautiful. Nobody makes stuff like that as consistently as they do. Plus, they're more innovative than most bands out there. Also, if we're talking numbers- you're the minority again.
