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

[ThomThom]

At first glance I thought that was Broken Social Scene.

But a more greasy smelly version?

[thestripe]

I have watched youtubes of Gogol Bordello's live performances, and based on that information I decided I had zero interest in seeing them at Coachella 2007. Energetic bouncing around on stage and silly outfits don't make me like their music any more than I currently do. I won't see them at Coachella 2008 unless they're up against empty four stages and even then maybe not.

Not trying to hate, just saying that they are a very divisive band and not everybody is going to enjoy them, even live.

I agree 100%. I checked out youtubes of Gogol's performance at Coachella and have come to the conclusion that the crowd is really what makes Gogol interesting. The crowd went fucking nuts in those clips, and really that is what everyone is after, just like Arcade Fire in 05, and Daft Punk in 06, people want to say that they were a part of that. I think eventually the Gogol hype will die, because unlike Arcade Fire, and Daft Punk, Gogol's music is not all that great.

LCD Soundsystem

Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick. I completely agree with this (and with Boourns on Hot Chip).

Also agree with Passive Theory on his entire last email, right up til he said Bob Dylan. I can't even imagine life without Dylan. There's nothing better than just grabbing a random Dylan vinyl and kicking off a Sunday the right way.

they're not greasy & smelly, that's just hipster style!!....

Oh, you mean that American Apparel employee look?

I wonder how many members of the Ed Banger Crew have actually banged Uffie.

whatever it is that you call that look....I wasn't endorsing it for sure...

I hope they all have banged Uffie....that would at least make it a lot more interesting

[Sexecutioner]

i agree that musically, the ed banger crew dont live up to the hype, but god damn can they throw a party!

Their parties are insane, every "woke up in my own vomit" moment I had in 2007 was the morning after an Ed Banger party.

[disgustipated]

that doesn't sound like a good time to me.

[ThomThom]

The night before always is, not the morning after

I don't dislike them at all....just a little sick of hearing about them.....I think Busy P played every party I went to last year....literally

Yeah Busy P sure was all over the fucking place.

[Sexecutioner]

i got a good one for all of you:

BOARDS OF CANADA


i thought these guys would be the 2nd fuckin coming after all the shit i hear you people talk on here, so i finally listen and its just blah! i cant believe this is who you all want to see play coachella so bad. i mean, its not horrible, but its nothing even close to special. its just background music, maybe something id put on while i read, or go to sleep.

[amyzzz]

It's great chill-out music. goes well with mescaline.

[kreutz2112]

I love how zzz talks about pairing drugs with music as if she's pairing wine with food.

[amyzzz]

I don't drink alcohol. I need some sort of vice.

edit: but since you mentioned it,

BoC - mescaline
DCFC - E (seriously)
Massive Attack - acid
Radiohead - acid
Ladytron - E

[canexplain]

beastie boys ... never really liked them at all ... punk frat boys ... canx**

[Astrid]

Tiesto

completely fucking agree. this fool needs to stop getting dj of the year. i feel like everyone who tries to like electronic music or pretends to or whatever the fuck gets a major hard of for him solely because of the name recognition.

he. is. nothing. special.

I 100% agree. Also, someone tagged their BOC clip on the youtube as "ambient emo" hahahaha.

I think that the vast majority of the board agrees with you. Tiesto SUCKS.

[Courtney]

Tiesto doesn't qualify because everyone doesn't rave about him.

[humanoid]

I think that the vast majority of the board agrees with you. Tiesto SUCKS.

i think its unfair to single out Tiesto.....I feel that all those "World Class" big name DJs suck and make generic, incredibly boring music...not that they technically suck, because I can't do what they do.....but creatively suck...

[humanoid]

Tiesto doesn't qualify because everyone doesn't rave about him.

true....not around here......unfortunately, my roommate does....and it just makes me certain that he is retarded

[menikmati]

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

[ThomThom]

I didn't really realize how many die hard fans Tiesto had until I got into the pit at the main stage last year for Arcade Fire, everybody had been lined up since early that afternoon to get a good spot for fucking Tiesto...unreal.

[PassiveTheory]

Both of the Pauls (Van Dyk and Oakenfold) suck too... Well, Oakenfold not so much as Van Dyk... Who else am I forgetting?

[Mr. Dylanja]

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.

They're really.. quaint. I listen to them when I study.
