Bands everyone else seems to like, that you tried to get

Ted Nugent
 Brian Eno (Solo)

Just to be on the safe side it would seem that one should steer away from any future Flaming Lips or Mars Volta purchases...?

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!

Oh yeah, I have never seen the talent or interestingness of Patti Smith.

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).

 Maiden rules all others. Maiden doesn't ask, Maiden takes. All must bow down to the mighty Iron Maiden and be grateful for it.

He's not indie, but I never could fiqure out why people like Jimmy Buffet.  
 
 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.
