Bands/Artists that you should like.... But don't!

[Hacker Khan]

Radiohead and Elbow in the main...

Just don't get them - obviously most of the rest of the World does.......

Adele too....I find her songs very ordinary.

Two of my favourite bands I am afraid. Liked them both from their first singles and will probably like them forever. As for Adele then the music is not for me, but I heartily approve of her as a person she is a breath of fresh air.

Eric Clapton, much too smooth for me.
Status Quo, pop rock
U2, send me to sleep
The Stones, just the sight of Mick Jagger puts me off.
Oasis, now who do they sound like.:mmm:

 

[louise_a]

I have to say I have never been a great fan of the Beatles or the Stones.

 

[big_russ]

U2, Coldplay and Led Zep do absolutely nothing for me.

 

[bozza]

The Smiths and Morrissey all because i can't stand Morrissey!

The thing is i don't think the songs are bad it's just Morrissey himself i hate with a passion.

 

[Hobbit]

Oasis, followed by Oasis and in 3rd place Oasis...

Never got U2 or the Stones.

And as someone said earlier, bands like Genesis, who I loved in the 70's, totally lost their way when they tried to 'modernise' themselves.

Coldplay? w.t.h. Can't do them at all.

I can take or leave the Stones, and mostly leave the Beatles. I feel I should enjoy Springsteen and Dire Straights, but I can't.

I have met Steve Winwood more than once (and Eric Clapton) and both of them I admire greatly and enjoy live more than on CD/MP3.

Interestingly, I met KK Downing (Judas Priest) on Thursday at his home and golf course. I am going to go back at some point to play him some serious classical music. Maybe we can Jam if he lets me plug my Strad' into a few effects pedals and marshall amps!

I like most music t.b.h. just not much of the fake-veneer modern stuff.

The Smiths and Morrissey all because i can't stand Morrissey!

The songs were good and Johnny Marr is a legend. Never dug Morrissey much, I agree......

 

[RGDave]

One band I'd love to like but cannot abide is Iron Maiden.

Snap (almost). I liked a lot of what they did, but as a whole.....nah.....prefer Metallica.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Coldplay. HID is a big fan and I've tried to like them but just can't get into them at all

 

[Karl102]

I hate Blur and Damon Albarn with a passion....

 

[RGDave]

I hate Blur and Damon Albarn with a passion....

Damon Albarn - him of that radio thing.... terrible.

I kind of liked Blur - "Modern life is Rubbish" not bad.....

 

[stevie_r]

Chas and Dave, snooker should never be the topic of a song

 

[stevie_r]

The Smiths and Morrissey all because i can't stand Morrissey!

The thing is i don't think the songs are bad it's just Morrissey himself i hate with a passion.

Possibly the most charismatic live performer I have seen

 

[user2009]

Pink Floyd, The Stone Roses, Arcade Fire, Rage against the machine, Coldplay, Muse, Kings of Leon, Eminem, Alt-J, Chesney Hawkes.

Totally agree with this. Met Blur in a nightclub in Leicester before they made it big with Parklife (this was in the 'Girls and Boys' days). Damon Albarn was a Total pillock and wanted to fight people who dared criticise their music. Cannot get Gorrilaz either. The radio edits of their singles are OK but the album versions are awful (Client Eastwood I am looking at you). Pity because I really like the Jamie Hewlitt artwork

Pink Floyd, The Stone Roses, Arcade Fire, Rage against the machine, Coldplay, Muse, Kings of Leon, Eminem, Alt-J, Chesney Hawkes.

Where did that come from?....

Bands I should like but can't get into at all

Kasabian
Muse
RHCP


I don't see the fuss about Coldplay, their single tracks are decent but their albums are full of wrist slitting nonsense. U2's old stuff pre Joshua Tree was good.

Hey, there was nobody quite like him, so he sang anyway :rofl:
