    Phish - You have to listen to them for what they are. Don't get caught up in lyrical content and meanings. That's not what Phish is about. But the right jam (in the right mood) = Phish does better than anyone ever has in the history of rock. Their ability to take you on a purely musical journey is second only to the grateful dead in their prime.

    if you were lucky enough to see the dead in their prime, you might find phish to be a big joke, as I do.
    Meatstick, really? Its one thing to just groove to the music, but some their lyrics are so dumb its almost impossible not to laugh.

    +1 on the arcade fire, and add TV on the radio and LCD soundsystem.

    And to all those radiohead naysayers, you have to see them live to appreciate how good they are IMHO. I never really liked them until I saw a show. WOW.

    Same here. I mean, I understand his importance, influence and place in rock history but I can't really enjoy it.

    Some others.

    Foo Fighters (everything after The Colour And The Shape)
    Anything with Henry Rollins
    The Flying Burrito Brothers (or just Gram Parsons, or his stint with The Byrds)
    Robert Johnson (same deal as Elvis)

    and many more

    I get that people go nuts for them, but it's just my thing. Not sure if it's James voice or the same guitar sound they use in EVERY song, but I just don't get into it.
