White Stripes. Some good songs, but nothing awe-inspiring.
Gotta disagree. The White Stripes are amazing, to me...
Radiohead...
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

If they seemed like they were enjoying themselves, it'd be okay, but they seem to find their music as boring as everyone else.
I heard them, thought ...well, nothing really. Then my wife bought their cd, I knew then they were awful, she has terrible taste.
Also my mate, terrible taste, we had a beer Sunday night and he's going on how great they are, I just shrugged like "what?" he's so rubbish at liking music it's unbelievable.
And I'll go Radiohead, they've lived off their reputation longer than Ron Jeremy.

Yeah, a bunch of my friends... I love 'em to death, but they really just like "chart music"... whatever they heard on the radio in the shops.... They spent two years talking about how excellent Snow Patrol were. All my attempts to show them Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Tom Waits... nothing. Give them a lightly strummed song about how solemn Gary Lightbody is feeling today, and they fall in love instantly.
Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.
Not mine
But sure, you go around and the guy thinks he's all rock an roll, "hey, you'll like this"...No I wont, and you know it's only a matter of time before he gets out his latest Foo fighters......yeah great Steve, and the Eagles greatest hits next? Cool

Oooh, you said Tom Waits I tried, my how I tried. I wanted to, but.. well I just didn't, what can I say?

Lol, at least Foos have some balls!
You can guarantee that after Snow Patrol and Jack Johnson, some wanker's gonna bust out some Nickelback or Norah bleeding Jones! I swear these people only buy cds that enter the top ten.

Nah, after Jack Johnson and Snow Patrol, they're gonna wrap it up, cos it's getting late, and they need a good night's sleep.

the Strokes. how many songs about being a selfish asshole can one band write?
.
With the Strokes, it's not so much about the words, more like how many more songs where the guitars go jang, jang, jang, jang, jangly jangly jang, jang?
Do they still bother? I aint heard of them for a while.
Oh, the Killers. There's another one.
Kaiser Chiefs, Yet another.
No, that's disgusting Marmite is the devil's turd.
Well, it's tasty and if it is in fact the devils turd, then at least we know what we're eating, unlike say...black pudding :eek: Which part of the Devil is that?
For me they push past the threshold of 'meh' into the category of fucking irritating. Their singer needs a good slap round the chops!
Good point, I wasn't concentrating. Say is it them that sing a song called "everyday I love you less and less" ? If so, then they are in a definite category of their own, the 'I could kick the radio down the stairs for making me listen to that' category.
Lenny Kravitz. Quite possibly the most boring rock artist ever.

That is them. And I find it hillarious that they wrote a song about themselves: "Everything Is Average Nowadays"

How ironic that their music has no meat to it!
Oh, I know lots of people will disagree. It's the point of the thread.
Also my mate, terrible taste, we had a beer Sunday night and he's going on how great they are, I just shrugged like "what?" he's so rubbish at liking music it's unbelievable.
And I'll go Radiohead, they've lived off their reputation longer than Ron Jeremy.
Ha ha!
I'm gonna have to throw Jack Johnson out there too, for the same reason as Snow Patrol.

Oooh, you said Tom Waits
If Tom Waits was a superhero, he'd be Marmite Man.
Lol, at least Foos have some balls!

That's not just funny it's also clever, and completely meaningless to anyone who doesn't reside within our little cocoon
The joke's like Tom Waits, and Marmite - you either get it, or you don't.

driveby truckers. dont do much for me. a lot of redneck cliches. some of it is alright.
NIN.
How could I forget, they have an early morning trip to Home Base to prepare for!
Thing is, I love Marmite, is that ironic?
It's JUST PLAIN WRONG, is what it is.
No, that's disgusting
That should totally be their advertising slogan.

All together now: "Ohhh oohhhh ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhh" (repeat ad infinitum)
Shit. I just wrote the next Kaiser Chiefs album.
