    Me either.

    Bruce Springsteen - like a few songs especially 10th avenue freeze out, but he mostly bores me, good voice though

    REM - like quiet a few songs, but I don't love them like many seem to here

    Weezer - Buddy Holly is a great song, but most of their stuff doesn't appeal to me.

    Tool - All sounds the same. I like a tool song every great once in a while, thats it.

    Kiss - don't know if many like them, but I'll shit on this band every time I see a thread. The worst rock band ever. Popular because of the non-musical reasons, their songs are comletely unlistenable except for that disco song which makes them even more of a joke.
    Agrees with all them except Arcade Fire, I like them, but I can certainly understand them not being to everyones tastes.

    I've given Wilco a try and I just can't seem to get interested. Radiohead.
    Bands like Death Cab for Cutie and a few otthers I have not listened to and have no opinion.

    Actually, I've been turned on to much more great music on this forum than I have been led astray. My Morning Jacket immediately leaps to mind because they have become one of my favorites

    just to remind people posting here to read the title of the thread before they get all pissy with everyone who happens to not like their favourite band.

    musical appreciation is such a personal thing isnt it? :)

    Sure is. Funny thing is that alot of the bands I do like are either strongly influenced by /or influential on those acts I mentioned. I just don't see 'it' and don't have the time to invest, waiting for that thing that I'm missing to pop out.

    no he didn't, I did. and i did so cause the two bands he mentioned to illustrate his point, blind melon and AIC have reformed.
    Good for you for presuming to know his point. Without him elaborating on his point, it was a blanket statement that includes all bands that have had a singer die, regardless of continuing on or reforming.

    Anyways, when the personnel remains the same except for the singer, there really isn't much difference. If it had been Jerry Cantrell and 3 other musicians who weren't previously in AiC, then yeah, change the name. Same goes for Blind Melon and any other band.

    I forgot to say:

    The Who - I wonder how much Vedder loving them influences people here to love them... anyway, they did alot of stuff first, but it mostly sounds clownish to me.

    I enjoy some of their music, but I have to agree for the most part.
    Oh, and I failed to mention the most obvious one for me in my original post: NEIL YOUNG...best thing he ever did in my opinion was Mirror Ball

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I can agree with Jack Johnson. They play him a lot at work.... him and John Mayer. Bleh!

    It's completeley cool to say that a certain band isn't your cup of tea, but for anyone that's claiming bands like Wilco and Arcade Fire are "drivel" or "unlistenable" or whatever makes you sound mentally retarded.

    I hate some of the bands mentioned as much as the next guy, but I can understand and respect why they have large followings and don't feel the need to sound like a musically-challenged idiot.

    i didnt presume to know what his point was. however it appeared plain to me that what he was saying was that if you replace a dead singer then you should change the name of the band. he then went on to name two bands who not only had lost their singers but had replaced them only after they reformed years after they had disbanded. there was not a decision as there was with AC/DC to immediately tryout a new guy. thats what MY point was. and thats the only connection i made. iw orked with what was in thepost. i'm not a fucking mind reader and i never made out that i was.

    Blind Melon (although I didn't know they'd reformed, I'm not down with that)
    AIC
    Soundgarden/Chris Cornell

    Mars Volta. I really gave them a listen, seen them at least 4x, have one of their CDs, but they're just too out there for me, though their musicianship quality is clear.

    yeah i can understand this. the first time i saw them live i stood there and thought,what the fuck?. and later i thought theres no way i can not NOT like this band otherwise i wouldnt have bothered in the first place. i continued to listen to them and then the second time i saw them live it hit me. i saw them a third time and recently havent been listening to them. but the other day i put on scabdates and to me it sounded great and i remembered what it was i liked about them. but a lot of people cant get their heads around what the fuck cedric and omar are doing. and that's okay. :)
