bands you just dont get that everyone else does

[grumpyhack]

I think we should have a pitched battle between the Nick Cave fans and the haters. Settle this once and for all.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Turning out to be as divisive as the Springsteen discussion a year or so back. Would the pros and antis to both be in the same camp?

[russycarps]

stagger lee is just a parody now

but if you've never seen him before, you'll be disappointed if he didnt do it.

Like flaming lips and the hamster ball/confetti/fancy dress dancers thing. That went on for 5+ years too long

[Zoo Music Girl]

He's sung Stagger Lee to pretty boys instead of girls last few times I've seen him.

*sigh*

Anything that Jack White has done since White Stripes. Apologies for intersecting the Nick Cave argument with that.

The Clash. White Riot is good, but London Calling is an overrated set of halfway effective genre ripoffs.

Everyone has their tastes of course, but I genuinely can't understand anyone not liking Bowie or the Beatles.

[zico martin]

I think I could genuinely 'get into' any band if I wanted to tbh, If I listen to any album half a dozen times I'm sure there is always something about it to make me like it, a funny couple of lines, a nice hook or a surprising melodic change. The longer it takes me to get into an album the better and the higher I'll rate it in the long run.

That doesnt mean i dont dislike any bands mind, most dont give me a reason to listen to an album half a dozen times either by my pre-judging them on what id already heard or my conceptions on the artist

[swede]

I get that they;re not necessarily to people's tastes. But for Bowie in particular, i find it baffling how people claim to not 'get' him. Even taking away the songs, i'd of thought his ability as a performer alone would be clear to all.

STONE ROSES !! utter shite

Arcade Fire

Radiohead

Muse

to a certain extent - daft punk

[BlackHole2006]

Daft Punk - fair play they've made a few decent tracks and Get Lucky was great (now hurrendously overplayed) but I really really don't get the hype with them on these boards and with my mates who also think they're amazing. It confuses me more than anything I guess...

I don't really get the Beatles. I mean, I get why they were so big, what they achieved and so on, but I can't get in to them.

I caused a massive argument on another glastonbury group when I said I don't like the Beatles. At the time I was asking for some Rolling Stones recommendations as I'm 21 and their music isn't something my parents like so I haven't really heard much of their stuff knowingly. It sparked up a "How can you NOT know the Rolling Stones" debate, which I stupidly decided to throw in that I don't get the Beatles either. My god, I've never seen such mayhem online!

[grumpyhack]

Went to see the Alabama 3 (full band) tonight. Maybe it was just the mood I was I but I couldn't connect. They seemed rambling and disjointed. All my mates and daughters loved it. But I gave up and walked out after 45 minutes.

I've seen them before in a bigger setting and they were slick and polished and gave a great show.

So tonight, the eve of my birthday, should have been a night of good music and it wasn't.

Only the second music gig I've ever walked out of in 40 years. The other being Mick Taylor a few years back.
