Bands i've tried to get into but can't even though everyone else likes them.

[chrisd]

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch

 

[Tarkus1212]

Nirvana, U2, Oasis (and most of the Britpop bands), Take That (and the rest of the boy bands), Van Halen (saw them live supporting Black Sabbath in 1977, hated them that night and ever since).

What I really don't understand is the modern "DJ" phenomenon (and i don't mean Chris Evans & co). How have they become "superstars" by playing other people's music? Is this the biggest musical con trick of all time?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Radiohead
Elbow
Coldplay
Ed Sheeran

 

[GG26]

Ed Sheeran
Pink Floyd
Black Sabbath
Slipknot
Bon Jovi

U2 top my list. Honestly can't see the attraction to them.

 

[USER1999]

Radiohead top my list. Followed by the Beatles and the Stones. Oh, and the stone roses. Happy mondays too. Depeche mode are another one. The more i think, the list is endless.

 

[Beezerk]

Metallica, awful sterile rubbish with the worst drummer in music.
AC/DC, generic hard rock blues crap.
Rolling Stones (as above without the "hard").
The Beatles, never liked em.

I have a big list mind, I could be at it all night

Can't believe all the hate over Radiohead, they are superb. Here, listen to this which I am sure will change absolutely no ones opinion. But I love it...

[Beezerk]

Snow Patrol, or should that be Snooze Patrol.

 

[Slime]

U2
Rolling Stones
Bruce Springsteen

Exactly the same, but you can add the following;

The Beatles
The Who
INXS
Oasis

I have never got the DJs either, like you say mostly just playing other peoples music.

Well, I tried. It sounds like a 45 being played at 33... music to hang yourself by.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

The first few songs off Steve McQueen are beautiful beyond belief. IMHO of course.

Just love Prefab Sprout - Jordan: The Comeback and Andromeda Heights are two of my ATFAs.

Most other bands mentioned I can agree with as to not really getting.

Then again - I never really got The Stones first time round and most of The Who's stuff was for someone else.

 

[JohnnyDee]

Another one here who doesn't get the superstar DJ thing.

Utter. utter, utter tosh!

And another. Fair play to them for convincing people to pay them big money for it though #emperorsnewclothes 😁

Couldn't agree more 👍👍

I think the thing is with DJs is that you really need to be there to get it. Not sure any of them ever claimed that it is an enjoyable experience to watch them do their stuff on TV/radio or listen to them as you would a 'normal record'.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Both OAP's but neither my wife or myself have ever have bought a Beatles record.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Both OAP's but neither my wife or myself have ever have bought a Beatles record.

To be fair, they haven't released any new material in 47 years, remixes and compilations aside.

I could never get into Beethoven personally 😂😂

Just to make everyone feel old.....
Soft Cell's Tainted Love was released nearer to the end of WW2 than today.....
