THIS IS NOT A THREAD ABOUT BANDS AND ARTISTS YOU HATE.
Shouting over, this is a thread about bands and artists who everyone thinks is great but you find bland, insipid, dull and uninspiring. That is, they're not bad enough to hate, but they do nothing for you.
I'll start. Sigur Ros. Yes, we get the idea. It starts off soft, then it gets loud. So what?
Next.

it starts off like a flaccid willy and then just never rises.

agree with this one. with the passenger side window down, a youngster pulled up next to me at a stop light and all i could hear was somesuch
".. i gonna slap that bitch like the bitch that she is.. " (and it wasn't an endearment)
repeated 3 or 4 times and then the light turned green..
fuck me runnin' .. whatever happened to sweet soul music?
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
its okay not bad but does not do really much for me

At least give Sigur Ros some credit for being pretty innovative. There probably isn't any other band that invokes as much emotion from me. I respect that you don't like them, but Sigur Ros is a lot more than "starts off soft, then it gets loud"
Agreed 100%
If thats all someone is getting out of Sigur Ros, they aren't listening.
gets to me every time
Every life is falling down
Brown to black, it's coming back
Dies to be part of the ground
Seed to seedling, root to stem

you are simply wrong.

It's muzak for hipsters. Chas and Dave have more musicological savvy and lyrical substance.

You can't say that - he sings in his own made-up language. It could be Shakespearean for all we know.
Who, Chas, or Dave?
They sing in a strange language, devoid of the letter "H".
They say "Wabbit" too, Elmer Fudd style.
Anyway, back on topic.
Snow patrol.
Like a musical equivalent of the saucey seaside postcard, at one time yeah maybe it was passable, I mean it would never have been revered, never deemed great but it would have had a certain basic charm at some point in history.... but surely not these days. Surely they, and everyone else should realise that, it's just not worth the effort.
btw, I love Chas and Dave
Snow Patrol made a personal enemy of me from the time Run was a huge hit, right through to Chasing Cars being all over the TV. Blandness, taken to a whole new extreme. Is extreme blandness an oxymoron?
I'm not sure, but Snow Patrol are spectacularly average.
If they seemed like they were enjoying themselves, it'd be okay, but they seem to find their music as boring as everyone else.
YES YES YES! Music for family bbq's!
