Radiohead, Muse and Kasabian for me.

Just don't see the big deal on any of them. Of course i'll singalong to Creep, Plug In Baby or Club Foot like the rest of them but just cannot get how they sellout stadiums. Each to their own of course. Anyone else feel the same or have their own list ??
 
Couldn't agree more on Kasabian & Muse.
I'm not saying either are bad,but none of their songs do anything for me.
Disagree on Radiohead tho.
 
The big two for me are Radiohead and Elbow....I just don't see it.....
Most bands/artists I can find something that works for me, even if it's one song, but these 2 just baffle me...

Two of my favourite bands are Radiohead and Elbow...... I can kind of get people not liking Radiohead if people are expecting the Bends type stuff nowadays, but not liking Elbow? Come on, that's not possible. Try this off their latest album and tell me I'm wrong.....;)

As for me then to be honest, I kind of dismiss most modern bands as being derivative as I've kind of heard it all before. Fine if you are exposed to it for the 1st time I suppose but I can just hear lots of bands influences. I think I saw a video of The 1975 and thought they were dreadful. But that's probably because I'd heard that kind of thing done a lot better back in the 80s.

Sweet Jesus.....is that the best you've got?😲😟😜
Sorry HK, I just don't get it....
But then you probably wouldn't get Halestorm, Shinedown or The Dead Daisies so each to their own🍻👍
 
I ought to like Elbow but there is something about Guy Garvey's voice that I don't like.

I liked Yellow, but haven't cared for much of Coldplay since, I quite often go of bands when they become really well known.
 
Bon Jovi are far and away the most overrated pile of crap I've ever heard. To be fair to the op though I've never even tried to like them.

Only talking about this the other week, it's seems everyone has at least one supergroup they can't stand. Most being U2

From a very quick internet listen I came to the conclusion they are a diet Guns N Roses. So you are right ;)
