| Now I don't mean bands like Razorlight and say The Kooks; the kind of bands most people round here would probably dislike. (I don't mind The Kooks that much at all, but that's beside the point)
It's just I can't stand the Flaming Lips. I hate their crappy songs, I hate the way they're 'wacky', I hate the singer's smug face. When they come on the radio I swiftly change the station. And I like decent stuff, I think.
So does anyone really not like any bands that are generally fairly well received? Like say The National, or Elbow? Or Hard-Fi? Ahem. | | | |

| I dunno if this counts, but...
Muse.
Pseudo intellectual rock for over serious people who bleat on about real music, when in reality, they only difference between them and The Darkness, is that they aren't in on the joke. | | | |

| Flaming Lips have one fantastic album - 'The Soft Bulletin'. Magical. 'Yoshimi' has some great tunes bt isn't great as an album overall. Their early stuff is quite hit and miss too. Live though, they're wonderful.
Are U2 respectable? Because they're f**king evil.

| Muse blow goats.
I can't believe how big this excuse of a band are.
My choice; Aphex Twin. I find him unlistenable. | | | |

..and deliberately so in some cases. Fawning fanboys will point out that thats just part of what makes him a prankster genius, whatever, I don't have time for self indulgent crap. However he has put out some good stuff, "selected Ambient works 85-92" is worth a spin and there once was a time when he even released fairly straight up dancefloor techno that could have been played in Ibiza. | | | |

OK, but why?
I can kinda let you away with most of that list, but the Beach Boys need serious justification. Pet Sounds is a bit over-rated alright, but come on, what about the early stuff, 409, little deuce coupe, I get around, all that early surf rock / rock n roll stuff. I kinda think if that doesn't make you smile, you're a bit humorless? | | | |

| Muse: have you ever noticed that the boring self indulgent plonker at a party is always a muse fan?
New trendy British Bands: ALL OF THEM....anybody photographed with geldof spawn, pidgeon whatsits, kooks, razor sh*te...all that skinny boys who look like girls brigade...crap. Go back to working in TOPMAN.....
Tings tings, FLAS, HamSandwich....blah blah...boring nonsence..just because you wear headbands and second hand clothes doesnt mean your music is any good.
The Smashing Pumpkins: God awful tripe the first time round. Cheer up Bill, life is ok!
Joy Division: the greatest myth....New order were far better.

| | Will I get in an awful lot of trouble if I say Radiohead? Don't get what the big deal is, and SO many people think its sacrilege if they don't rule your life. Take a listen to Wilco instead, now theres a band to follow for a lifetime. | | | |

Tings tings,
I'm not sure I should admit this, but that "Thats not my name" single is really growing on me... *hides*

Poor old Billy does seem to have not gotten over his dog getting knocked down or something or other, but ignore the lyrics, and that "Today" tune and the rest of Siamese Dream ROCKS in an old school sort of way.

I'd agree, Ian Curtis was great, but the band was in its infancy and got better.

The Ting Tings sound like a mix of Gwen Stefani and Girls Aloud to me.
