What are some bands you have given an honest try but for some reason or another don't grab you the way they do other people?
For me the top two are:
Radiohead and Arcade Fire

    phish. I have most of their studio albums and about 20 live shows. I love them at times and then absolutely get tired of them to the point I won't even put a cd on. I've never seen them live and don't know if I could handle a 16 minute version of suzy greenberg. Some of their jams are just too damn long.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I would love to see these guys live. I have the same feeling about Dave Matthew's (not a big fan of a lot of his studio work) when they jam it out it gets interesting.

    Suzy is not song you'd see a 16 minute version of, so you're all set.
