You hear someone, possibly one of your friends (if any  :tongueout: :teddyr:) constantly praise a certain band/artist. They go on and on about how great they are and that you should check them out. When you finally give in and listen to the songs, you can't help but feel unimpressed no matter how many times you attempt to enjoy the material. Maybe you like one or two songs, but the rest bore you to tears?

We've all gone through it and we all have some bands/artists that we could never get into.

Here are mine:

Van Halen
Skepticism
Darkthrone
Vlad Tepes
Satanicum Tenebrae
Behemoth
Post Chris Barnes-era Cannibal Corpse
Deicide
Possessed

Yours?

Jeez, I don't even know where to begin. :teddyr:

Couldn't get into Behemoth as well :tongueout:
Most of the 2000+ bands from Century Media, they all just scream. :tongueout:

Dream Theater
The Strokes
U2
Bob Dylan
Radiohead
The Smiths
The Jam
Rolling Stones
REM
Pearl Jam

wouldn't be surprised if that reads like someone else's Top 10 bands ever. these bands do nothing for me, been subjected to hours or in some cases years of abuse to the ears from most of these. my girlfriend at school was obsessed with The Smiths and Paul Weller, and for a couple of years I lived next door to Dream Theater's biggest fan in the world or something

I'm so sorry for you :bluesad:

I can never get into any alt or grunge bands. All my friends love that kinda music, but I guess the only band I've found kinda decent is Alice in Chains.

haha, yeah it got to the stage where I knew what songs followed on from what others on which albums just from hearing it through the wall!. the thing is they're amazing musicians, it's just the actual music I can't get into...

THE GRATEFUL DEAD . . . although the older I get the more I enjoy some of their songs.  Maybe I'll be a fan someday.

I tried listening to these and while I like a song here and there, I never took them them as much as most I knew at some point or another:

Bon Jovi
Metallica
Journey
Tom Cochrane
Maestro Fresh Wes
Monster Magnet
Radiohead
Megadeath
The Black Crowes
Poison
Motley Crue
Whitesnake
Madonna
Cher
Korn
Limp Bizkit
Aerosmith
Queensryche
The Cranberries

Bands/artists I couldn't (still can't) get into or see the overall appeal of:
Led Zeppelin
U2
Madonna
Cream
Eric Clapton
Rod Stewart
Grateful Dead
Fleetwood Mac.

I'm sure there's others, but these ones off the top of my head are ones I really can't stand.

Personally I feel that Alice in Chains has the best overall output of that whole Seattle/early mid-'90s Alt/Grunge/Seattle type of scene, when compared to Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, etc.

Ah another one...Stone Temple Pilots

I like em, overall, but yeah.

Far from great.

Anything speed, trash, death whatever metal.
Punk.

Evanescence
White Stripes
Pink Floyd
Europe

Basically every band/artist in the current charts.

A lot of Classic rock really doesn't get any kind of reaction from me along with Grunge. I don't even like that phrase classic rock very much, especially when used as a genre. (For example what does Bon Jovi and Black Sabbath have to do with each other) but I do like some Older Rock, mostly the progressive kind. Its just really 90 percent of the stuff on Classic rock radio is garbage that people view with rose tinted nostalgia goggles.

Sorry just ranting here. :bouncegiggle:

Cannibal Corpse
Deicide
Suffocation
Nile
Cynic
Dream Theatre

I like old rock, but you are quite right about classic rock becoming such a broad category that it's lost much of its meaning. Maybe I'm getting old, but I have, on a number of occasions, done a double take at what someone has classified as classic rock.

Classic Rock was a good term when rock and roll was only a few decades old, and what would be called just plain "rock" might have been around for a couple of decades. The term worked well enough when applied to something like 70s-vintage Aerosmith in the early 90s. It was basically a blanket term for rock of the late 60s and the 70s. The problem is that after 20 more years, it's encompassing things that were new or as-yet-unreleased when I was into "classic rock." Some of it is radically different, and wasn't even liked much by fans of the older classic rock, at least not the fans I knew. People are now lumping 90s grunge and alternative into the classic rock category, and even stuff as recent as the early 2000s, and it's only going to get broader and vaguer and more meaningless with time.

And I agree that a lot of classic rock radio is garbage. It has the same problem as classic rock compilation CDs - you get the same overrated, overplayed hits, over and over again, selected by people who really don't know the music or give a sh!t, to please the largest number of people with the least effort possible. Over two or three decades, there is a wealth of bands, albums and songs, including many great songs that never seem to get played. Listening to classic rock radio, you'd think some of the most prolific bands of the last 50 years only had a couple of albums and a handful of great songs.

Phish

People tell me how much I'm supposed to love them. Although I'm not into jam bands in general, there are exceptions. Phish is not one of them, however.

Never understood all the whoop-de-doo over Dream Theater. On paper they sound like they should be right up my alley, but they continue to bore the man-titties off of me.

I'll try and keep this short and simple as I could go on for pages in this thread. Considering my massive obsession with rock/metal from the early 70s through to the early 90s, I have never been able to enjoy the music of some of the most well respected and influential bands during that period and those are:

AC/DC - I think they're good, but every song seems the same to me. Plus it's simple by-the-numbers three chord rock that a ton of other bands have copied and improved in my opinion such as; Cinderella, Dirty Looks, Circus Of Power, Kix and Jackyl.

Aerosmith - I like 70s Aerosmith and the Done With Mirrors album from '85 and that's it. People are always surprised when I say that I can't stand 80s Aerosmith. I just don't hear a dirty rock n' roll band anymore, I hear no guitars, too many synths, and vocals like a cat choking on pieces of chalk. They were a good band who fell apart, were resurrected by crossing genres and being original and then fell in line with everyone else milking the ballad cow.

Rush - I love guys with really high pitched vocals, but Geddy Lee's just doesn't do it for me. All excellent musicians don't get me wrong but I find it hard to like bands and remember songs when every track they make is about 7+mins long!

Bon Jovi - Hate. Surprised faces all round when I tell people that, again considering my love of all things glammy, pouffy and cheesy.  I loathe their simple, bland early stuff and I despise their new stuff. It's all just obvious corporate rock made  for the sole purpose of obtaining more and more money.

I'll leave it at that for now, but I'll also say that I could never get into Dream Theater. I like two songs; "Pull Me Under" and "Caught In A Web". I have no idea how they are even classed as "metal" ??

Led Zeppelin is the most drastically overrated group. EVER.

The Eagles
The Beatles
Just about any punk band
Poison
AC/DC
The Grateful Dead
Radiohead
Beck
David Bowie
Dave Matthews Band (probably #1 on this list for me to be honest)
Hootie And The Blowfish

Theres oh so many more that don't come to mind now.

And you, my friend, don't know your ass from your elbow. 

Agreed on Aerosmith, though I hung in with'em till the PUMP record (1990). That's a good commercial rock record. Then came GET A GRIP which sounded exactly like PUMP, you could almost hear'em in the studio saying "Hey guys, we sold a sh*tload of that record, let's do the exact same thing all over again!" Everything I've heard after that has been varying degrees of suck/borderline embarrassing.



Preach it brotha! Never could stand that band, and as a mostly proud resident of the Garden State I hate the fact that they're synonymous with "New Jersey" nowadays.


Whew! At least I know it's not just me!!

I never liked BON JOVI.  
I never got into RUSH. 
I have a friend who almost lives MARILLION.  Not me.  And even my friend can take only so much of PHISH.  I might be thinking of a different fish...  :twirl:
Uhm, BLUE OYSTER CULT... not into. 
DREAM THEATER?  Somebody cares?  :question:

I'm not taking sides but I think this is the kind of thread where everyone should be able to say exactly what they think without fear of being 'flamed' or whatever - besides, music taste is subjective... (personally I think Led Zeppelin are amazing especially Houses Of The Holy)

just saying  :drink: :thumbup:

Well, before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, my friend Happy can say anything he wants, and if he doesn't know what he's talking about, I'll point it out.   Doesn't mean I'm not wrong, but you know I'm not.  :teddyr:  I'm not "flaming" him and if you're afraid, I can't imagine why.  
And by the way, Houses Of The Holy is probably my least favorite of their albums.   :thumbup: :wink:

Houses Of The Holy is your least favourite? pah, you don't know your a....oh hang on  :buggedout:

Who's Led Zeppelin?  :buggedout: :buggedout: :wink: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

Guns And Roses...I mean I kinda liked a few of their songs but not really.  Plus I really can't stand Axl Rose.
REM
Creed
3 Doors Down
Nickleback

Other bands I don't dig:
The Who
The Grateful Dead
The Moody Blues
Jefferson Airplane
Fleetwood Mac

I just never dug any of their songs.  Just not my 'cup of tea'.  And I don't want anyone thinking it's a generational thing where I dislike older music.  They're just a band I don't like, at all.  I'm not saying they're bad.  I just dislike their output.  Of that era, I prefer the likes of The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Iggy and The Stooges, Rush, Pink Floyd, etc.

Gotta remember, I'm more a 'punker' and like groups like Misfits, The Clash, Ramones, Black Flag, and other bands like ? and the Mysterians. 

Thanks, I think.  But it's AHD.  He's one guy around here that's always pleasant, I even got a chuckle out of it.

I just don't like the Zep. 

More still...

Bruce Springstein
Tom Petty
Bob Dylan
John Cougar Mellancrap
Jethro Tull

Lady GaGa

First time I read her name I was like "Seriously? What a Queen rip off."
First time I saw her pic I was like "Hello? This is Cyndi Lauper and Grace Jones blended together. We've been there and done that already."
First time I saw her performing at some MTV show I was like "You got to be kidding me. Madonna did all this and did it much better 20 years ago."

Don't forget Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons. I swear the first time I saw a Lady Gaga picture I thought Dale must've had a yard sale and this chick bought all of her old wardrobe.

Of course you don't like them... but not liking and stating they are "drastically overrated" are not the same thing.   :wink:  Your elbow is that bony thing about half way down your arm.  Most people sit on their asses.   :smile:

There you go, now you got it.  :thumbup: :wink:

I still dislike em. Still overrated. But I like ya AHD

I'm not a Led Zep fan at all, never been able to get crazy about them. But, and it's a BIG BUT, they are a great band featuring four phenomenal musicians. I can understand someone not liking them due to personal taste but yes, saying they are overrated is a bit much seeing how at their peak nobody around could touch them and the fact is they had a monstrous influence on every rock/metal band that came afterwards. My only gripe is, and maybe a reason why Happy made the comment he did is that, (over here especially) the Zep do get lauded over a bit too much. For instance, Mojo and Classi Rock magazine seem to do full issues sometimes 3 or 4 times a year dedicated to the Zep. How about digging up a band that didn't get the credit they deserved eh?

Who could argue with logic.  I love LED ZEPPELIN and still listen to them sometimes, but there's lots more music to be discovered!!!  :thumbup: :smile:   

Happy and I are cool.  I don't care if all his taste is in his mouth.   :teddyr:

Well, I love Zep too, but I do kind of see them as the musical version of Speilberg/Lucas. Their work is great, they left an indelible mark, and they influenced so much that came afterwards. But yes, they do tend to be cannonized to a somewhat annoying level.

Anthrax - weird because they were part of the 'big four' of thrash and I always really liked Slayer Metallica and Megadeth (and still do even though I'm not really a metalhead as much as I used to be).

but Anthrax...I must've listened to at least 5 albums and can't even recall how a single tune goes! they never grabbed me tbh

I was kind of trying to get at what Circus said.  I do think they're great musicians overall.  Page is great.  But just, as a unit, they never impressed me really. 

Don't worry 'bout it poor you.  JIMMY PAGE is great and sloppy; the great musician there as far as I was concerned was JOHN PAUL JONES.  It's always cool to not like; hey DarkSider doesn't like THE BEATLES.
 Snicker... talk 'bout ass from elbow...  :wink:  But I still love him.  

MegaDeth- NEVER understood the appeal.  Always felt they could've been better had they not attempted to compete with Metallica over and over again and just do their own thing.

My platonic heart belongs to Doggett. Sorry

Boy...Led Zep got hammered (of the Gods  :wink:).
Personally-love Zep.

Bands I never got....
.KANSAS,BOSTON,QUEEN,ELO,REO SPEEDWAGON,RUSH,Bruce Springsteen,the EAGLES,STEELY DAN,EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER,YES,JETHRO TULL,all Death Metal,Grindcore,SLIPKNOT,CANNIBAL CORPSE,GREEN DAY,BON JOVI,POISON,SONIC YOUTH,SUBLIME....

and the usual crap-ya know,boy bands,rap crap,maudlin sappy crap,80's crap like Loverboy,fake punk, country pop crap,emo whiney asses,American Idol claptrap stuff...blahblahblah....

Performance wise, yes, she's pays a lot of homage to her heroes like Madonna and Lauper.  Musically, she isn't so bad.  I've seen her with just a performance and a normal outfit, and she's got a decent voice and writes her own songs.  I think more people would like her if it weren't for her outrageous gimmicks and outfits.

Neil Young
Crosby, Stills and Nash (with the above)

Yeh I've noticed you've not been showin' me the love lately.  

NEIL YOUNG too?  Your ass is that fluffy big thing behind you that you spend a lot of time on. 

I get the impression DarkSider just isn't into the drawly, scarecrowy, folky types

Whoa: and now I find myself trying to picture AHD as 'drawly, scarecrowy, folky'...nope: not happening.    :bouncegiggle:   :wink:

Oh, you gorgeous man, you...


 :teddyr:

I didn't mean AHD! lol

Very cute.  I think CC meant NEIL YOUNG, and I recognize that NEIL is an acquired taste: BOB DYLAN's singing has been described as "a cow with it's leg caught in a fence..."  Only NEIL's singing is "alley cat in mid-neutering".   :wink: :thumbup:

And you're so full of crap your eyes are brown.   :twirl:  Neil Young is basically un-listenable.  (don't panic all, this is just banter between AHD and myself.  We're good friends)

I have a rare mid '80s cd put out by Howard Stern and the Stern Show crew.  Basically, one track is called "Neil Young's Cat" and it's a spoof of a Neil Young song, but sung by an alley cat stuck in a fance.

We are???  :question:  I mean, WE ARE!!!  :smile:

Add Counting Crows to the list and Hootie and the Blowfish.

Any so called brutal death metal. It's not heavy, just stupid. I do like death metal though, just not stuff like Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Suffocation, etc.

Listening to now: LED ZEPPELIN Houses of the Holy
(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff259/allhallowsday/HOUSESOFTHEHOLYledzep.jpg) 

They had IT.  Who thought they be OVERRATED???  :question:  Poor li'l ol' poor li'l ol'... NOT.   :smile: :teddyr:

More bands:
U2
Cream
Eric Clapton
The Who


Meh.  I just don't get it.  Plus, go on Google, look up "overrated bands", and Zeppelin falls on many lists.  Kudos to you.  You like them. 

Eric Clapton.  I love bluesy guitar, he's supposed to be the "god" of bluesy rock guitar.  His music does absolutely nothing for me.  Oh some of the stuff with Cream was good, but his solo stuff leaves me completely unmoved. 

Bruce Springsteen - sounds like a pretty average pop act with a couple of catchy songs. 

Yngwie Malmsteen - virtuoso classical/metal guitarist.  I appreciate how many gazillions of hours he must have spent practicing that stuff, but it just sounds like he's running through his scales.  "I Am A Viking" is pretty cool though.  And he's always good for some entertaining quotes, my all-time favorite being when he said rap music was "the lowest form of $hit on earth"  :teddyr:

Should add Nickelback to the list too.

Eminem- I liked "Mosh" and his more audacious rhymes but alot of his songs with the sort of self help lyrics are just not my thing

Pearl Jam- similarly, too heavy emotionally for me.

I'm with Jack on Clapton though I really liked him in Cream.

So where are my kudos?   :question:  Stingy old Pop witch.  

There will always be haters.  Hatred when it is institutionalized is FASCISM or NAZISM.  You don't know anything listing THE WHO, ERIC CLAPTON, or even CREAM in that context.  You know a speck and don't like it.  That's cool, but don't denigrate.  That's a mistake; not everything admired is worthless.  

I don't think you've listened to any of  'em, but ultimately I'd call them POP, so it's right up my alley.  
So I have listened.  >Elbow... >ass.  Who loves you you little pain in the ass?   :question:

Well, I never said I felt that U2, Cream, Clapton, or Who are overrated.  Just Zeppelin.  I've heard a lot of Zeppelin.  Do NOT like them, but they have fans.  I respect that.  I'm not saying they're 'worthless'.  Just not the type of music I dig.  I have listened to all the bands I listed, and don't like em.

There's plenty of bands I like that people hate.  On a daily basis, when I take music to work, I'm told that the following suck and/or overrated:
Aerosmith
Elton John
Billy Joel
Queen
The Clash
The Ramones
The New York Dolls
Iggy and The Stooges
Black Sabbath
Weird Al Yankovic
The Cure
Devo

I'm also a huge fan of some of the classic rock and Motown groups of the '50s and '60s.  Like, The Ronettes, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Shirelles, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, etc. 


I'm not quite sure where you're going with your post.  I think we share a bit more taste in this department.  But, hell, Zeppelin, not my cup of tea.

I'm going crazy.  Wanna come?   :teddyr:

doo wop music

I like Doo-wop.   :hatred: :drink: :wink:

I got the straightjackets ready.  You bring the car. :thumbup:

Same.  Some of my favorite music, actually.

< I'll drive...

Never could get into Amon Amarth. I only like one song, but that's because it reminds me of Children of Bodom (the song features a guitarist from CoB :I)

Yeah.  Though folk music in general isn't my thing.

Pearl Jam
Stone Temple Pilots
Eminem
Green Day
System of a Down

I've previously stated my total disinterest in all things Dream Theater in this thread, but now that it's been bumped, I've thought of another semi-legendary metal band that has seemingly passed me by all these years: Fates Warning.

For whatever reason, much like D.T., FW and I have just never "clicked." I had a friend who, when he found out I was never a Fates Warning fan, burnt me copies of their entire discography so I could check them out, and ... I just wasn't feelin'em at all.

News recently broke that Fates Warning is about to release their first new album in a number of years, which was met with an absolute torrent of fanboy jizz on a couple of metal forums that I hang out on. Meanwhile, my reaction was "(Shrugs shoulders)"....

Mamas and the Papas
Janis Joplin
Adam Ant
Fleetwood Mac
Chicago
Bon Jovi
The Byrds
Crosby Stills and Nash
Hole
Pixies

I just watched the movie THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME (1976) yesterday.And it confirms what I already knew.Led Zep is one of the best rock bands of all f**king time!!!
Overated?
QUEEN-ugh!I hate opera.
STYX
BOSTON,KANSAS,CHICAGO...almost any band named after a place.
Eric Clapton. Why the f**k is this guy so applauded? Ace Frehley of KISS for cripes sake,plays better chops.


Janis? Really?

Wow.Just...wow.

I listen to Janis-I wanna cry.
There was no big money hype behind Janis. She was a Texas girl...drank way too much...not a beauty queen. But DAM! That girl had HEART!

My Ma went to Woodstock-and she said Janis was what impressed her-and most of the folks there-the most.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h66qXAK-q3o

You got so many phoney idiots-Lady GaGa? Beyonce? Man,please.
Janis wasnt in it for the money. She sang from her HEART! She was real people. No flash,goofy ass costumes. Just her and her great voice and heart and soul.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEtzIvDmSPo
Janis put her heart on her sleeve.She didnt give a f**k.She just did it.I love her.

Jello Biafra said in the 80's that  music you hear on the radio is the equivelent (I cant spell that f**king word!) of Bing Crosby elevator music.
IT'S MAULDIN.
Run of the mill s**t!!!!
Boy bands. There gone now...good.
Phoney so called rappers-christ-my 4 year old grandson can voice what these p**sed off brats...who think they are entitled to somehing cuz there black-which is bulls**t-not all blacks think like this-only these a***ole rappers.My girlfreind is black-she cannot stand these phoney "gangsters". It's media hype and lies and s**t! Blacks are not rappers or gangsters.Thats like saying people with long hair do drugs and are lazy.
It's a media image...life is so much different than f**king TV.But these asses put out an image for young people that being a "pimp" is cool.Dam. Maybe I sound like an old fogey. I dont think it shouldnt happen,I personally think the music is lame. Its just repitive bass...and some dum f**k farting out words. Takes talant for that,eh?

Most of the Rolling Stones (I like Paint it Black though)
Iron Mask
As I Lay Dying
Dillinger Escape Plan
Dream Theater
Tarja Turunen
ReVamp
Bullet For My Valentine
Anthrax
Slayer

The Beatles. Sorry, I just don't like their music.

That's 'cause, my friend, you don't know yer ass from yer elbow!   :teddyr:

Aye aye Captain Bligh!
Gee-have you been checked for dumbass diasese latley?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoxRFOr_sQ0

Now that is funny. 

Almost all Rap
The Rolling Stones....like a few songs but they're not a priority
Neil Young
Celine Deon
Most current heavy metal
The Supremes.....and Diana Ross alone
Michael Bolton.....did anyone like him?

Gee....I'm always sorry to hear that. I'm a huge fan myself. But to each his own. :wink:

Unlike BEATLE hating, which is willful posturing (in my opinion) I could see where anyone might not like THE ROLLING STONES.  However, I think it's just ignorant (and I choose my word carefully, as in "without knowledge").  Same with NEIL YOUNG.  I LOVE THE ROLLING STONES and NEIL YOUNG.   All that said, I love DIANA ROSS... as a person and do not mind her solo records much, though I think, of the three SUPREMES, she was the least talented, and though I LOVE the girl groups, the exception is THE SUPREMES.  I can't stand 'em!!!

George Jones
Hank Williams
Megadeth (some find that odd, cause I dig the other classic metal thrash bands)
Rage Against The Machine
Limp Bizkit

I love HANK WILLIAMS.  Too bad for you, Happy. 

Okay, my turn to take it.  I don't like BLACK SABBATH.  They went from one of the most critically reviled bands (in my formative years) to one of the most admired.  They are overrated. 

I gotta agree with you, AHD. Sabbath is a bit overrated.

I preferred Ozzy solo, although I do have some of Sabbath's bigger singles on a compilation disc.

If you're talking Jr., I agree.  If you're talking Sr., well  :buggedout:  :bluesad:

I think I'm the one person who prefers Dio to Ozzy.  (I don't dislike the Oz, or Sabbath for that matter, just don't love them.)

It's funny. I was going to mention Dio. I preferred Sabbath with Dio, and Ozzy solo. Dio post Sabbath, I didn't like. Hmm.

As for Hank, I've tried. I like some country, but couldn't dig it.

The doctor said it's terminal. :twirl:
I really just couldn't get into them. I like Paint It Black because of the atmosphere, the rest just doesn't do it for me.

Every band for the past 20 years. Nirvana included.
I don't have much good to say about the 80s either.
The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper's and forward.
Pink Floyd.
Metallica. Not even the Cliff stuff.
U2.
Led Zeppelin, to a point. I enjoy them, but I don't seem to get the mind blowing experience out of them that everyone else does.

Jello Biafra's got no room to talk about music. The Dead Kennedys were a terrible band.

"God" of bluesy rock guitar my aching ass. Hendrix, SRV, and Johnny Winter have far better claims to that throne than Clapton's ever had post-Are You Experienced.

Hmmmm......
Deicide
Cannibal Corpse
Pantera
all that "metalcore" s**t
I kinda hate to say this, but I only like a couple of Joy Division's songs, the rest just seem like filler to me.
Love and Rockets
Korn and Limp Bizkit - I'm glad that s**t is pretty much dead.
Suffocation
Cryptopsy
Cynic
Dream Theatre (so pretentious)
Pretty much any br00tal death metal (see: Mortician)
The entire local music scene in Cape Breton is pathetic.  :hatred:
Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor is the Prince of industrial music and I don't mean that as a compliment)
Ministry (Twitch era reminds me of weak Skinny Puppy, then they got metal, which is even worse)
I despise all the pop-punk that was big years ago.
I also despise all pop music released in the past 10 years (at least)
Nickleback (that one's a given)
Pearl Jam
Creed
AHD is gonna hate me for this, but I think the majority of 60s music is worthless (exceptions: Stooges, MC5, Blue Cheer)

You might be right, except, I'd never hate anybody for having an opinion. 

agree with you here. If all their songs sounded like 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' I would probably be a big fan, but nearly all their songs sound to me like some drunk guy mumbling and wailing while a garage band tunes up in a cellar!

same problem for me. also they can do loads of ultra-complex stuff rhythmically...but musically they are really generic and safe. Always the same metal chord progressions or soppy power ballad tunes

I have tried and failed to listen to more than 3 tracks on 'Ten' and I can't do it. which is weird cause I really like a lot grunge. can't put my finger on why I dislike them so much...

can't agree with you on Pantera though... love them. :smile:

30 Seconds To Mars
My Chemical Romance
Bullet For My Valentine
AFI
Foo Fighters
Mumford and Sons


to name just a few

I personally have no clue how Sirius XM dedicates a channel to their music.

The band I could never 'get into' was The Beatles: I tried out as their drummer but Mr Epstein said I would be better at drumming on garbage cans in back alleys......  :wink: :wink:

Me either. I think I would prefer to hear the drumming on garbage cans.

Well well, aren't you just the world's most Beautiful Unique Snowflake.

lol

- although to be honest if there's a lot of bands out there you don't like, this is probably the thread to let it be known  :drink:

*Dons Flamesuit*

Queen- I just really could not get into it.

Queen have a fair amount of songs I really like, and nearly all of them are the 'famous' ones. Also no matter how many times I hear it or how over-played it is, I seriously think Bohemian Rhapsody might be the greatest song ever written.  :buggedout:

BUT... their studio albums are very patchy. the famous tracks are famous for a reason IMO.
