    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.

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

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

    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.

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

    Oh yeah, there's an exception with Bob Dylan; That song is awesome.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    Oasis - can't stand them. Mediocre pub rock at best. Music made by monkeys with no intellect, seeing Noel Gallagher interviewed is painful. Liam has probably my least favourite voice of all time. The Beatles shit on them musically from such great heights, the comparrison between the two bands is a joke.

    Foo Fighters - SOOOOOO boring, just like Oasis. Never understood the adulation they get esp. Dave 'Nicest man in rock' Grohl.

    has anyone ever actually compared oasis to the beatles besides oasis? i always hear this complaint but i've never actually known anyone to make the comparison besides the band themselves...
    and like that... he's gone.

    Honestly though... you may not like the new stuff that he's got, but on Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace, the song "The Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners" was made specifically for those miners that got stuck in the shafts... but the story is, Grohl had heard the miners, that were stuck, requested iPods with Foo Fighters on them... so Grohl gave a message that said when they get out of the mine, there'll be tickets waiting for them to go to any Foo Fighters concert of their choosing... so after one of the Foo Fighters shows one night, one of the miners had a beer with Grohl and after that, the Foo Fighters recorded "The Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners" just for those guys.

    I think that's fucking awesome.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    I just don't care for him. I get a very fake vibe from him. Again, this thread is "people we should like but don't". I don't really have a great answer which is why i listed him
