Talking Heads,

I just could never see what the fuss was about.

And David Byrne's voice? - Awkkk

[Spindles]

The Strokes. I just don't get why anyone finds their formulaic soundalike drone appealing. Plus my ex-wife loves them and she has the musical ear of a mollusc.

Not liking a band and not getting them are two different things though are they not?

I don't like Depeche Mode but I get why people do.I don't like almost all dance music I've heard but I get why people enjoy it.

On the other hand, I don't get why any one would want to listen to UB40. They're just shite.

Yeah this is true. They are different things.

I don't get why people like Stone Roses - they genuinely bore the pants off me. The thing I most don't get about them is that people whose opinion I otherwise respect with regards to music seem to go nuts over them.

I do however get why people don't like The National, even though they're one of my favourite bands.

On the subject of Depeche Mode, I'm a casual fan at most but I saw them on Tuesday and they were bloody brilliant. I now totally get why people love them so much. Atmosphere was insane - but it was full of fans so still not sure it would translate to the Pyramid. Not that that's relevant any more by the sounds of it.

[FloorFiller]

to be fair, there isn't much i don't 'get'. even the bands i dislike, i understand why people do like them. any band i don't particularly 'get' is just an act i haven't given the time to

or instance, Grizzly Bear have been a band i've tried to get into numerous times, and despite a few songs jumping out at me, their albums, as a whole, puzzle me. but i totally get why others would enjoy them, and i'm still holding out hope that they'll click with me one day because the songs i do like are fantastic

much as it pains me to say this, I agree with you.

He's shit.

He represents everything that was grotesque about america in the 80s

[Gnomicide]

I watched Hot Tub Time Machine the other day. One of the questions they asked to confirm they had gone back in time was "What colour is Michael Jackson?"

[rjb94]

all this electronic noise stuff like Factory Floor and Forest Swords completely evades me. I can understand it being used to create a certain atmosphere, but to actually just sit and listen too...
