Apparently U2 are the greatest band in the world but i can barely tolerate them, besides a few songs. Same goes for The Beatles and Led Zep. I know their shit is good and maybe they are as good as everyone says but why? why the fuck do these bands deserve so much hype?

    I really want to like Radiohead but I just can't get into them for whatever reason. I give them a shot every few months but I can't seem to make it click for me. Same goes for Arcade Fire. U2 is good but I don't really dig them either.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Johnny Cash... he's so boring, he has the same fucking songs over and over... yeah, I get it, there's a railroad coming... JUST FUCKING GET OUT OF THE WAY THEN, SHIT!!!!!!

    Bob Dylan... same thing... it's like I'm hearing the exact same C G C E chords over and over again... yeah, you're stories are pretty cool, but I need music to go with it to, otherwise, I'm just listening to some man read me a story.

    Radiohead... I used to love them, but recently, I just can't really get into them as much as I used to.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    if you cant get into radiohead, then why is your location a radiohead song? or is that unintentional?

    Dunno if you know this song, but it might actually fit the bill, the music is wicked, well I think it is anyway:

    I suppose I should like Neil Young, but...I just don't.
    And I HATE the White Stripes. Everyone I know loves them, and I just can't stand them.

    the white stripes were the first band that came to my mind too. an annoying as shit singer with mediocre songs and a lot of fuzzy guitar. i cannot for the life of me understand the universal hype, praise, and ass-kissing this band gets.

    i'd also add tool. they've got a good song. but only A good song. every tune they ever wrote sounds exactly like every other tune they ever wrote.
    and like that... he's gone.

    Radiohead, My Morning Jacket, Paul McCartney (I got reminded when I saw someone else's post); DMB - I like some songs but have never cared about seeing them.

    I think "Undertow" was great. Since then each album has had no more than 3 good songs. Funny that's when their popularity exploded.

    I said I used to love them... I'm kind of in the falling out period right now. They're still good, but I just don't like them as much as I used to.

    I listen to a lot of bands similar to above but I can't stand any of them.
