    Default Bands you really want to get into but for some reason can't...

    If you see someone who posts a band they can't get into and you like that band reccomend some stuff.

    My two bands are Crass and Conflict. They go hand in hand and I still can not get into them even though I've been making an effort.
    Anyone wanna help?

    For some reason I can't get into the Faint. With the exception of seeing them live. Live, its a different story. I've seen em twice and had a blast both times. But I can't listen to them on cd.

    I know I'm going to get shit for this and I've posted on this MANY times. I can't get into underworld. A lot of people like them, and whatnot, they are legends in a lot of peoples eyes. I just can't seem to find material I love or anything.

    Lots of bands are completely different live. Just look at Gogol. Try listening to one of their albums and enjoying yourself, try seeing them live and not enjoying yourself.

    Yeah, they have.

    Also, there must be 4 versions of this topic that already exist somewhere on the boards...
    Upcoming Shows:
    * The Flaming Lips perform The Soft Bulletin - Bimbo's 365 in SF on February 21st
    * Jeff Mangum - Fox Theater in Oakland on April 10th

    Five Years of Coachella Glory: 2007 - 2011 (skipping 2012, maybe I'll be back in '13?)

    I'm still trying to get into Sigur Ros--I'm going to see them live in September so I hope they fucking blow me away. Seeing them at Coach melted my ice a bit because they sounded pretty good at sunset in 06. I kinda like their new album, and I kinda like one of their older albums-- is it ()? I guess I should start doing more research!

    QFT. A friend recently told me that the DVD Stop Making Sense is NOT to be missed. I'm going to try to check that out soon. It's a concert video I believe.

    Radiohead. I left lollapalooza after 15 minutes of their amazing pretty lights and mellowdramatic music. I simply don't get it. I don't like Yorkie boys voice nor do I have the patience to "feel" his music.

    Stay away from Born Slippy....there are plenty of songs that weren't on Trainspotting's soundtrack that are far better. If you want to get into Underworld....go listen to Two Months Off, Cowgirl/Rez, Jumbo, Moaner, Kittens, and try to download some of their live sets (like Electroglide 2005, Coachella 2003, Creamfields 2002 etc...).

    A good place to start would "Okonokos". That's their live album that was recorded in November of 2005. If you like that, then check out "Z" and "It Still Moves." It might help if you tell me what MMJ stuff you've heard and what type of music you generally like.

    I was in the same boat a few months ago. In fact, I posted a thread about it. Then I listened to "Takk..." all the way through and I was hooked. A week later, I saw them at Bonnaroo and was royally impressed. Now I'm driving 6 hours up to Denver to seem them next month.

It's been there from the beginning.. the weak Britpop headliners Friday; the rumors that DP was gonna play, that it was a done deal, then all of a sudden 'oops, no, not gonna happen'; and now the new album. It's all so obvious.
