Title: Bands everyone else seems to like, that you tried to get
Post by: on March 08, 2006, 08:29:00 am: Black Flag.

Other than the song from Repo Man, I couldn't listen very long to their stuff. I resold both CDs I bought. I gave them a fair shake, but they just didn't snap my elastic.

I bet that I could change your opinion going to one show.

It's not a whole lot different than a DBT gig; just tweak the genre a bit.

Post by: Sir HC on March 08, 2006, 12:50:00 pm: Would more like to know why and what have you heard from some of these you don't like. Sometimes you get the wrong album and hate a band for quite a while until you hear that one song that does work.

For me:

Mars Volta - The singing, can not get over that singing.
Dispatch - Saw them live and they couldn't play. It was sad.
Title: Re: Bands everyone else seems to like, that you tried to get
Post by: kosmo vinyl on March 08, 2006, 12:59:00 pm: Well I know the singing on Wilco's A.M. turned me off the band from the get go... From what little I've heard of CYHSY it's the singing as well..

Fugazi I get. But Iron and Wine? I thought you'd love him. How about Calexico? Are you a fan?

And, cough choke, Elvis? Really? What's not to love? Melodies, lyrics, attitude (early), longevity, he's got it all!

Title: Re: Bands everyone else seems to like, that you tried to get
Post by: Sir HC on March 09, 2006, 12:51:00 am: Okay, some that I like that others do not:

Flaming Lips: Check out Transmissions from the Satillite Heart, it is amazing. Check out the layering of instruments, and all the fun things going on. Fav song, Pilot can from the queer of god. Check out the dense guitars and all the fun stuff they are doing, it is amazing.

Bloc Party. I hate this cd. It is poorly mixed in my opinion. The material it has underneigth is amazing. They are a great band, but they were wimps and got someone to mix their album to where it sounds so annoyingly compressed that I despise the record. If you are willing to listen to the songs and not the stupid overcompressed mix it is a great album. It took me several listens to figure this out.

There are others that I can also talk about but these two came to the top of the list.

ps. I have seen over 1000 bands live (IIRC).

I guess I had left my TV on VH1 Friday Night. When I woke Saturday, I had 30 mins of The Top 20 on TIVO. On a whim I wathced it on FF. So I'll throw, Train, Staind, Natasha Beddington(?) and James Blunt on this list as they seem to be popular at the moment.

Among my friends who have similar tastes to myself, though, there are a couple of bands that I just don't understand how they like them.

Broken Social Scene
Radiohead

To a lesser extent:
CYHSY
Stars
the walkmen

Although there are probably a lot more bands that I like that I can't convince them are awesome.
