bands you just dont get that everyone else does

[Scotdy]

Pixies

Also every song by the Foo Fighters sounds the same to me. DG seems like a nice bloke but his band is shite.

[Superunknown]

Blink-182

[Guest]

Catchy tunes is all? Like saying Messi can kick a ball about a bit.

What the hell is pop if not catchy tunes?

We are talking about the same Michael Jackson right?

Nick Cave fans? running?

I think I can run faster than a bunch of 15 year old emo girls thanks very much.

I thought the comment:

I think Blur are shit, but I also think that's because I do get Blur and everybody else doesn't.

The idea that people who don't like someone because they don't get it, is the most patronising idea ever. I get Nick Cave.. what's not to get? I don't like him.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I thought the comment:

is brilliant.

ps, I'm guessing (hoping?) that RebeccaD is being ironic....

[Zoo Music Girl]

And for the record there are loads of bands I don't get, as in don't understand the appeal, as opposed to don't like.

[Mardy]

Pretty much everyone mentioned on the first page of the Efest Glastonbury chat forum at the moment.

And yeah, it's not hatred, it's a shrug and ambivalence. Obviously some of these bands are good, whatever that means. I'd be a fool to describe them as 'shit' (excluding the Eagles) but they fail to move or excite me in any way.

[harriet]

Arcade fire and daft punk

[Thearg]

Another one for Muse.

Stare at your shoes/wellies music.

[DJL]

It is patronising to say to someone they don't get an artist (as only they know why they don't like an act) but most people probably have artists they feel like they don't get and, as people have said, that is different from artists they dislike.

I don't like one direction because their music has almost nothing in common with most music i do like... and most of my friends with similiar taste would agree. I don't entirely get led zep or floyd because although i like the rough genres of their music, many of their contemporaries and artists that adore/have been influenced by them i personally don't get as excited by them as others seem to.

[TheNewUnion]

Another one for Radiohead. I saw them live at Optimus Alive and the show was great but I didn't really understand.

[rubenz]

I think for me with Radiohead it stems from the fact that I can't make a word of what Thom Yorke is singing. I may have something wrong with my ears I think!

[frostypaw]

I figured this thread would be all about Arcade Fire...

[Guest]

I've not read the last couple of pages, has it got to the point where every musical act ever to exist has been called shit by somebody somewhere along the way? I think we were close around page 6.

[carlosj]

Nick Cave fans?

Actually, I've been thinking about this, there's some bands mentioned on here that I love(d) but have absolutely no interest in seeing these days. Massive Attack and the Pixies, for example.

Huge part of my life, their songs are stamped through me like a stick of rock, I'll jump round like a c**t if they come on the radio, but I'd not go and see them if they played outside my house in 2014.

[russycarps]

he also thinks Elvis Presley is little more than good at interpreting other peoples songs

but that's russy for you

Nick Cave, eat every morsel of your beating heart out

[brandycoke]

Elvis is great at singing other peoples songs, live and on record. Good on him, would love to have seen him and I listen to his records quite frequently.

Nick Cave is great at singing songs that he sat down and wrote himself.

It seems a strange comparison to make to me though. Wouldn't you be better off comparing Elvis with someone else who doesnt write their own stuff?

Allow me:

"Britney Spears, eat every morsel of your beating heart out".

There, now doesnt that make more sense now?

I wonder if Elvis would've been famous at all ,.. had he looked like Shane Mcgowan.

[Alcatraz]

I often wonder if Shane McGowan would've been famous at all had he looked like Elvis
