    White Stripes, Black Keys, Foo Fighters, Nirvana....great bands that just happen to be boring too me.

    The WHITE STRIPES??? Are you friggin' kidding me?? Jack is the greatest rock genius since Neil Young.
    I don't own one white stripes album. I just probably check them out since I never gave them a listen to. I'm gonna get killed for this but I never saw why pj loved neil young so much. He's an incredible guitarist but I could never stomach his voice.
    White Blood Cells from the WS or Blunderbuss from Jack White are great places to start. Plus, very few take advantage of the greatness of vinyl like he does. Everything is analog pressed, dead quiet, etc. He is really super anal about his releases.

    Nirvana. Like some stuff from Bleach, and a couple from Incesticide. Just found them to be boring. Don't hate me!

    I'm with ya. They have a few good songs, but never understood all the love for them like they were this band that changed rock music.

    Mfc, I would never hate someone over disliking most of Nirvana's stuff, but what did you think of Unplugged ? I have to say I liked the unplugged show.

    I tired over and over again to get into my morning jacket and I just can't. Also I never understood the love for foo fighters, their music is actually quite annoying. I absolutely hate journey and rush.

    What the hell, man? Foo Fighters are awesome. And Rush?
    I also can't stand the music of Foo Fighters and Rush. I find both unlistenable. Add DMB to that.
    You guys suck.

    Neil Young isn't for everyone. Either you feel him or you don't, and "get" his voice or not. For me he is one of the greatest of all time - for sure in my top 3 and always will be. But I still get why some don't like him (but I pity those who don't lol, because you poor souls are really missing out on some of the most deeply felt music ever made ;) ).

    Wilco has completely destroyed my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify. Thanks to them, 50% of my weekly playlist is country music. :angry:

    LOL!!!!! Excellent video,Brian. I adore Johnny Rotten. Even when he's making fun of Neil and Axl.

    I have reserved his autobiography at the library, thanks to your suggestion in a different thread. Can't wait to read it!!

    I've always found them too 80's for my liking... a little too close to the hair band scene.
