It's funny that sweets and one other member of this forum consistently rip on two bands I'm a fan of... I'd be willing to bet both of them haven't listened to more than a few minutes of each band.

Additionally, I'd bet dollars to donuts sweets would have the time of his life at a Phish show. Julian on the other hand, is pretty boring so I can see him not enjoying himself.

FWIW, I agree with all of this, including the part where I am boring.

The Clash

Loved em back in the day. Doesn’t really hold up, IMO.

I unfortunately feel they fall under more of the played to death category for me... Same with the talking heads, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Stones, The Beatles, etc.

I know all of their albums front to back but have been listening for 30+ years.

If only some forward thinking person cataloged bands better than The Clash on here at some point.

for ween, you're right.  not sure if i've ever heard more than 2 or 3 songs of theirs.  i poke fun at them because of the fanbase of theirs i've been exposed to: burnouts trying to relive their college days.  obviously not all their fans fit this stereotype.

i'm a little more familiar with phish, and i've even seen them at MPP with my phish-head buddy.  i love a good guitar noodle as much as the next gal, but their music bores me pretty quickly.  luckily the crowd was, uh... interesting to watch ;D  had a good time in the parking lot.

so in summary, it's a bit.  i don't harbor any (very) hard feelings against these two bands, but i don't like them either.

heads, zep, floyd: i can still listen to them, and do.
stones, beatles, clash: haven't held up as well, for me.  still love their music but don't find myself reaching for them.
