Yeah really way to many to mention.  So fare this decade I've pretty much discovered that I hate most new music,

I miss Elliott Smith. In the grand scheme of things, I just don't find that a lot of these bands have mastered playing their instruments well. Maybe too many rely on computers or Pro-Tools to write songs. When I heard Bright Eyes compared to Elliott Smith I bought one of his CDs and there wasn't even a comparison there. Elliott's mid-to-later work may rip off the Beatles (George Harrison esp.) but it's still genius.

The thing about that infamous CYHSY review is a good chuck of it is the author blathering on about how this band got so much attention for their self released CD, without press releases, PR, etc... How is so "refreshing" to a hear a band with out the preceeding hype build up.  Not really sure how that garners them a 9.0 as there a plenty of bands out there with remarkable albums without PR folks...  You might as well call CYHSY the O.A.R. of indie rock
