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

Coldplay. Just can't stand them. I simply don't get it. How do they sell out stuff? How??
The Smiths - full on music to slit your wrists by.
U2 (albums only, been watching them a couple of times and live they are actually an ok band)

Seen Coldplay live about 6 times now and their show is superb , such a variety of songs throughout the whole set that has the crowd on their feet

Their two headlines at Glastonbury where show stoppers.

Watched one of the Glastonbury sets (granted at home) and still just thought "meh". Hold my hand up I thought U2 were going to be downright rubbish and only went due to getting a free ticket from a mate who couldn't go. The live show was brilliant! Don't want to be spending about £50 on a ticket to watch Coldplay not knowing if I am going to enjoy it though.

As an extra, went to watch Red Hot Chillis back on the Blood Sugar Sex Magic tour. They were awful live. Absolutely terrible. Love the albums though.
 
Just to make everyone feel old.....
Soft Cell's Tainted Love was released nearer to the end of WW2 than today.....

Noooooooooooooooooooooo :confused:. Tainted Love was the era of my early school discos. Marc Almond has a greatest hits album out of both his music and Soft Cell. I have it and it is brilliant, although my kids look at me strangely when I put it on. Well worth a few quid.
 
In fact the original was released in 1964 by Gloria Jones for the Northern Soul scene at the time and the Soft Cell is merely a cover version. I have to admit, Soft Cell and Marc Almond are a bit of a guilty listening pleasure

Early school disco's?!? Were you a teacher back then?
 
The band who win this category by a country mile for me are The Beatles.

One or two good songs from such a prolific band? Not good enough.
 
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... ;)

Can't say i've ever tried to get into them , but Radiohead for me, garbage utter garbage. and this rubbish hasn't changed my mind

Just listened to this ...................... excuse while I go and slit my wrists!
It's as depressing as The Smiths.

I'd sooner listen to my wife!!
 
People saying the Beatles probably weren't around in the 60s, I was never a massive fan back in the day, but hey did some brilliant songs and inspired many of the bands that came latter.
