Coldplay, Radiohead, The Verve and The White Stripes. Also never saw the whole Nirvana thing, have got into them a bit more recently, but not in a worship kind of sense

Give it a few more listens. Whilst admittedly it isn't a feelgood party record it is an astonishingly great album, IMHO. It's one I can't imagine not having in my collection. The artwork, the lyrics and the music combine in one perfect, perfect package. A beautiful album.

I don't like New Order. I know I should, I loved Joy Division, but I just don't.

I'm glad I've got that off my chest.

Me too. Somehow, New Order sounded dull and trite, while the minimal and depressing Joy Div. were great.

Agreed. Radiohead is a bit of an acquired taste. You often have to listen to the albums a few times to appreciate them fully and put in a bit of 'effort' but I feel the albums you instantly love are usually the ones you go off first.

 

[Bobby's Gull]

The Zutons not a band but DJ Shadow.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Pink Floyd

may i shoot you

 

[Bad Ash]

n1 gull is the only one to actually say why he should like a band.

For example if I loved metal then it follows that people might expect me to like Metallica.

Otherwise this thread is just list popular bands you don't like. Do you want me to list most of the acts in the current top40?

For me I guess I'd say Squarepusher. Can't stand the chap, but love Aphex Twin.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Nickleback

I'm sure they have/had some talent, but their drone american accents really annoy me.

Hmmm. Nickelback's drone is Canadian . . .
