Foo Fighters compared to Nickleback? WOW. Just.....WOW. NB is terrible cock rock. Foo are awesome. Nothing generic about them. Seen them live every single time they've come through town. I don't listen to much mainstream rock radio anymore, but I always dig the Foos.
I didn't like Neil Young much until Le Noise.
Kings of Leon.Gimli 1993
Fargo 2003
Winnipeg 2005
Winnipeg 2011
St. Paul 20140 -
i agree with whomever said the national. wanted to like them, but, meh...
also the decemberists. thought the newest records would do it for me, but nope.
good topic.0 -
Wilco for sure.
Fewer chances, but Radiohead as well.
Fewer chances than that, but Arcade Fire too.
Nothing new there.
I'm not big on Nirvana and never was.
Neil Young and Crazy Horse....nope, not for me.
Grateful Dead
Flaming Lips.
MMJ was huge for me when I first began listening....my interest has faded considerably.All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all0 -
Probably arcade fire. Ive only given them like 3 chances but after the 3rd I was so uninterested I gave up and have zero interest in trying again. They have got to be the most over rated and boring band ive ever heard.5/28/06, 6/27/08, 10/28/09, 5/18/10, 5/21/10

i just need to say0 -
Dream Theatre. Every time I tell someone I love Queensryche they tell me I will love Dream Theatre. Not so much.
Also The National.Spectrum 10/27/09; New Orleans JazzFest 5/1/10; Made in America 9/2/12; Phila, PA 10/21/13; Phila, PA 10/22/13; Baltimore Arena 10/27/13; Phila, PA 4/28/16; Phila, PA 4/29/16; Fenway Park 8/7/16; Fenway Park 9/2/18; Asbury Park 9/18/21; Camden 9/14/22; Las Vegas 5/16/24; Las Vegas 5/18/24; Phila, PA 9/7/24; Phila, PA 9/9/24; Baltimore Arena 9/12/24; Pittsburgh 5/16/25; Pittsburgh 5/18/25
Tres Mtns - TLA 3/23/11; EV - Tower Theatre 6/25/11; Temple of the Dog - Tower Theatre 11/5/160 -
Radiohead, MMJ (whom I saw EIGHT times with PJ). I think in general I just don't like higher pitched voices, and both Radiohead and MMJ have a higher pitched frontman. Phish neither.R.i.p. Rigoberto Alpizar.

Many that have been mentioned--arcade fire, foo fighters, mmj, kol, radiohead etc...but the person that said The National should be beat with a big giant dildo, no doubt..'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'0 -
I love Dave G. and the Mighty Fighters of the Foo. These, on the other hand, are the bands/artists that I probably should like (kinda), but don't:
Arcade Fire
My Morning Jacket
Kings of Leon
Bruce Springsteen
Radiohead
Dave Matthews Band
Phish
Wilco
Tool
...

I don't mind the Foos, although They do have many mediocre songs/albums.
However I've never been able to get into Guns n' Roses!
I quite like slash a guitar player, but I just can't stand Axl's voice!0 -
I've tiered & tried with Radiohead but I just find his voice so whiney.<hr>

I gave Rush and Radiohead a chance a while ago since my husband likes them a lot but they just didn't do it for me. I also tried so much to like Queens of the Stone Age but I only really care for a few songs.
I want to like all of PJ's side projects, and for a while I did, but I just don't like Stone's Bayleaf album, Tres. Mtns, or any of Eddie's solo stuff.0 -
Radiohead
Tried many times because so many on here think they're great. They do nothing for me at all.#FHP0 -
Alice in Chains- I dunno what it is, but they just don't do it for me.0

Alice in Chains RULES
I can't get into Tool or Mastodon after a couple listens.... Tool has some good stuff, but not all of it IMOi like sound...0 -
The Grateful Dead. I feel like I should like 'em, but I don't. I love their story, and what they stood for, and their political/cultural views...I've read a lot about them...it's just the music leaves me cold.My Pearl Jam shows: 1 in 1995, 2 in 1998, 20 in 2003, 13 in 2006, 3 in 2007, 8 in 2008, 5 in 2009, 4 in 2010, 5 in 2012. EV: 8 in 2011, 1 in 2012. Brad: 1 in 1998, 1 in 2002.0

AF is the only band that (to me) out-does PJ on an energetic front live. If you don't get them, I feel bad for you. PJ is my favorite band, but if both were playing the same night, I can honestly say I'd be torn and would probably call in a bomb threat to one of the venues to get them to reschedule.
RH changed music
The National is brilliant, mature music
The Foos are good honest rock without the over produced garbage and crappy lyrics
KoL have two (and a half) great albums
If you don't subscribe to any of the above, who DO you tend to like that is new/relevant? I wouldn't mind finding a few new listens, and if I prefer the above, maybe I'm just the doofus and whatever you'll pull out will blow me away.
