here are the ground rules:
the band has to have some kind of sustained popularity or critical acclaim. for instance, you can't say "i never got into 98 degrees for some reason"; because, what the hell, there was really nothing to get.
i'll start:
pink floyd.
i've tried - i just don't get it. this may be sacrelige to some of you - but i said that i gave it a try.
also ran:
NIN.
ughh.
Great thread c_p. I love Gilmour's solos, and NIN is an acquired taste. To each their own...
Two for me:
Radiohead
Wilco

Snow Patrol
Modest Mouse
(ducking)
old NIN is good, like Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral, i don't care for the new stuff
and Floyd? really? Dark Side of the Moon is just full of classics, i keep meaning to get a copy of The Wall
how about Radiohead? i just don't see it, i have kinda tried
and Dave Matthews Band, maybe they are better live?
yeah, i don't get it eitherOriginally Posted by Fugue
i still think they sound like a bad Talking Heads ripoff
oh yeah, how about Talking Heads..
guns -n- roses
I think it's the "-n-" part of the name.
Well, and the music. Succs, I say.

btw, you should be 'band' for saying floyd.
I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.

hehe, i remember this thread now
it was called "overrated bands" or something
also known as "lets raise yermom's blood pressure by dissing GNR, Nirvana and Pearl Jam"
Hail yeah on everything you just said. I did like Siamese Dream, but after that album it's like Corgan decided "**** it, I'm not going to bother singing anymore, I'm just going to wail and scream."

I honestly haven't heard either one of them, heck I don't even know if snow patrol is a band.
You do realize that Brangel will destroy us for this. Shoot, BSG might even poke some ear for good measure.

I love Pearl Jam, but I've also just been told that it's surprisingly easy to rock my appendages off.
So, boldly setting forth my musical mistastes, I'll state that I just don't get:
Phish.
And I'm certain that NIN is the soundtrack playing in Hell.
I got a bad mustache
a recurring rash
and not a lot of cash.
I spend it on my stash.
Man it's good to be a geek!
Please God, save me from the Scandinavian ***-kickin' I might get from one beautiful VK but...
U2.
I just don't get it. I want to get it but I don't. Please help me get it.
Ratt and Rush.
I kid, I kid...about the Ratt part.
pffft, and i was worried about getting a beat down for my post. You're screwed, heh.
Pink Floyd
Grateful Dead
Elvis Presley
Beatles
Creed
Green Day
White Stripes
Weezer
R.E.M.
I'm not happy until you're not happy.
any band comprised of the standard "Beat Me Up Please" whiners who had a nice cushy and comfy middle class upbringing where mommy and daddy got them the stuff they wanted, who make music about how hard and tough life is for them.
