Good Bands you can't get into

[JustJon]

Are there any bands out there that you know are good, but you really just can't get into?

I know there are a couple bands that I just can't seem to enjoy but that I know are good bands. If someone puts on Radiohead, I can listen to it, but I'm not a fan and for whatever reason just can't really get into them Another one is Tool. Again, I know they're a good band and can listen to them if someone else puts them on, but I really can't get into them and would never put them on myself.

[topless_mike]

out of curiousity, since good and bad are opinions, wouldnt a band that you listen to be considered "good" and a band you dont listen to be considered "bad"? i mean, would you listen to a shitty band because they were good?

[A.J.]

Anything Mojo likes.

[drusilla]

i think i am now a fan of aj's

[Freakshow]

Turbonegro

I'm sure they are good, but just can't get into them.

[Knowledged_one]

Pearl Jam

[grlNIN]

The Police make me physically uncomfortable. I used to love Led Zep but now the only songs i will listen to are "Immigrant Song" and "Whole Lotta Love".

The Ramones, even though i think they are horrendous, Simon & Garfunkel too.

[BeerBandit]

The Pixies. Everybody tells me that they're good. They get a lot of critical acclaim. I just don't get it. They sound like every other also-ran alternative band.

[grlNIN]

Rage Against the Machine

[Hottub]

Anything Mojo likes.

I love you, man.

[PhishHead]

Mojo has wonderful taste in music!!

[TheMojoPin]

Tool. I like a few songs, really like most of that first A Perfect Circle album, but they just don't "click" for me. They're really impressive, but I guess just not my thing.

[TheMojoPin]

did you see my post.

[keithy_19]

People already named a bunch of the bands I would.

Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine, Rolling Stones.

I also can't get into the Foo Fighters. I like a few songs but I can't immerse myself in them for to long.

[TheMojoPin]

did you see my post.

Yessir. Back in the day, AJ was one of the few to publically share my gayness...





























































...for power pop.

[MadMatt]

I just can't get into U2. As Jon said, I won't have a conniption fit if somebody puts them on, but I don't have any of their albums and will usually flip channels if I am alone and one of their songs comes on.

[FezPaul]

Bob Dylan
Bruce Springsteen
U2 (I loved the album with Out of Control and 40 and I think I Will Follow was on that too. But haven't cared much for anything since)
Rolling Stones (same as hippo on them)
Grateful Dead
Velvet Underground (do they qualify as good?)
Radiohead (I wore out the album that had Creep on it but haven't listened since)
The Band
Most of what The Beatles did after Revolver

Edit: Almost forgot, anything by The Replacements after Bob Stinson left the band (Hi Mojo)

[bostonronandfezfan]

alice in chains ive got no time for them

[smiler grogan]

Lou Reed

[TheGameHHH]

If anybody i'm with puts a U2 song on, there's a 95% chance i'm going to punch them square in the face. yet in my 26 years of life i dont think ive ever had anyone publicly agree with me that U2 sucks a fat bag of dicks.

[furie]

i just can't get into the white stripes.

[cogsdoc]

I too just don't get Springsteen or The Rolling Stones. Another one is Bob Dylan, not a band, but I know how much people love him and I just don't get it.

I am shocked by the number of nods to Radiohead and Tool.

[cupcakelove]

The Who.

[furie]

The Who.

yeah, i'll second that, too

[tileslinger]

Yes, Rush, ELP etc... Awsome musicianship I just can't get into it.

[Gvac]

The Who.

yeah, i'll second that, too

LOVE solo Townshend but never liked The Who. I can't stand Daltrey's voice.

And anyone who answered 'The Rolling Stones' simply doesn't know what they're talking about. Immediately go out and purchase Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Exile On Main Street, Sticky Fingers, Get Yer Ya Ya's Out, and Some Girls.

Then call me in the morning.

[IMSlacker]

The Ramones, even though i think they are horrendous, Simon & Garfunkel too.

I've never got the whole fascination with Radiohead.

The Who.

I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE The Who.

RHCP
Oasis

[Knowledged_one]

Hannah Montana but i do like that Miley Cyrus

[Recyclerz]

The Pixies. Everybody tells me that they're good. They get a lot of critical acclaim. I just don't get it. They sound like every other also-ran alternative band.

Correction: Every other also-ran alternative band tries to sound like The Pixies.

The band I didn't/don't get is Guys With Ears. Beyond the mega-hit "Bunsen" what did they ever do?

[topless_mike]

HAHAHAHA!!!

It's good bands you can't get into!

[Jughead]

Good meaning sales???......The doors..and almost every show opening song suck to me........Im just to old to be here but I love you all......This if its obscure thing it's cool drives me nuts....My kids did it... I did it..Most people here do it...I turned my friends on to Rush's first album I was so cool at the time........If no one knows about them but me??? I'm really hip(in my language).........Sell out means yea we sold out everywhere!!!.Peace..:wallbash:.Juggy

It's your anti-Zeppelin tirades. They injured me. So I lashed out.

No offenses.

[Heather 8]

The Who and Rolling Stones

besides the radio songs

Hate the Stones, even their radio songs. Mick's voice makes me angry.

The Who, I can deal with.

Chili Peppers post-Blood Sugar Sex Magik does nothing for me.

[RhinoinMN]

I agree, but I really enjoyed "By the way". Other than that they sucked.

[RhinoinMN]

I'm a fan of jam bands like Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, but I never got into Phish.

Maybe PhishHead could give me some recommendations on what to listen to by them.

[IamPixie]

I never got into Bad Religion.

To those opposed to U2, may I suggest:

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/the-stories-behind-29-u2-songs-1.jpg

they were young and kickin. Much more energy than achtung baby, pop, zooropa etc

....
Most of what The Beatles did after Revolver....

That's interesting to me.

When I was a kid, I loved the "pure pop" aspects of the early Beatles because they were really close to what I'd been hearing in blips from regular radio. (My dad's car didn't have an FM tuner until 1986, I think. And I honestly don't remember listening to music on the radio before I was 12, except for the time I caught "Eat It" when I was around 6 or 7 and I was playing with the HiFi.)

Later, as I started to get really interested in poetry, I started to enjoy the post-Revolver stuff because it was just so OUT THERE lyrically ... and the addition of instruments I'd never heard (sitars, etc.) was absolutely mindblowing for me. Honestly, I think my minor obsession with later Beatles is part of the reason I never did drugs. It was too much fun to think about how different things would be tossed into a song just for the anticipated critic or fan reaction ... but I really love the piecemeal, patchwork quality of the later work, mostly because it feels to me like it's the true chronicle of what went wrong with the band and why they couldn't STAY together as The Beatles.

My dad always wondered why they couldn't have done something similar to what Genesis did.

[A.J.]

I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE The Who.

Really? Even the "early"/Mod-era stuff?

[Thebazile78]

... Simon & Garfunkel ...

They don't exactly strike me as a band you would be into, though.

I happen to enjoy a few Simon & Garfunkel songs, but I don't think that I would go out and buy a "greatest hits" album or anything. They seem to have similar roots as the folk-rock groups I enjoy ... like Peter, Paul and Mary or The Kingston Trio ... really low-key, lyric and harmony-heavy, very acoustic groups.

If that's not something that interests you or speaks to you on some level, it's not surprising that you wouldn't like it.

[TheMojoPin]

Chalk me up for RHCP, too. Blech.

[Stankfoot]

My dad always wondered why they couldn't have done something similar to what Genesis did.

suck?

[TheMojoPin]

My dad always wondered why they couldn't have done something similar to what Genesis did.

Let the kickass frontma(e)n take off and have the drummer take over as lead singer? Wow, your dad must REALLY love Ringo.

[topless_mike]

HAHAHAHA!!!

It's good bands you can't get into!

i know.
jerseyrich wont relinquish his position.

[JustJon]

Post BSSM RHCP does nothing for me either. They were a great funk band, then their guitarist died of an overdose, George Clinton stopped producing them, etc.

[TheMojoPin]

No. I'm the one with the soft spot for Ringo. (I blame Richard Lester and the two live-action Beatles films for this. Oh, and Shining Time Station.)

I guess he thought they'd all had it in their contracts to go off and do their own side projects, but would reconvene as Genesis every few years, release an album, and then go on tour.

Since I obviously have no idea about how things actually worked, I now look like a naif.


(Or an idiot, depending on how you interpreted it.)

[AnnoyedGrunt]

Sorry, but I can't really get in to the Clash. I like their hits well enough but everything else, I don't know. It's hardly bad but it does nothing for me.

[TheMojoPin]

No. I'm the one with the soft spot for Ringo. (I blame Richard Lester and the two live-action Beatles films for this.)

Fugazi,
A pretty acclaimed band that I liked until I went to see them live. The worst show ever filled with tacky cheesy dancing from the band and the crowd the songs sounded dated

You are, of course, allowed to dislike any music you care to dislike. However, given the extreme arc of JC's musical development, stating either poitive or negative feelings for his music does not really say enough. Assuming you are a jazz fan in the first place, is your opinion based on having heard Om/Ascension at some point? Or have you also given Blue Train a spin? Or, for that matter, Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue? Or perhaps you were waterboarded while to listening to Giant Steps? Or are you strictly a Kenny G man? Just curious.

[Bossanova]

Tool. I like a few songs, really like most of that first A Perfect Circle album, but they just don't "click" for me. They're really impressive, but I guess just not my thing.

figures you would like A Perfect Circle more, thats when Maynard reaches his inner vagina

Mudhoney. Sleater-Kinney.

Jazz.

[Bulldogcakes]

Chili Peppers post-Blood Sugar Sex Magik does nothing for me.

I always LOVED the Chili Peppers, but like most bands they were WAYYY better when they were strung out on heroin.

Come to think of it, that might be a whole thread by itself. "Bands who sucked after quitting drugs". What the hey, I'll start one.

[FezPaul]

I can't believe how many people don't get this thread. The whole point is you acknowledge that a band is good, but they just don't suit your personal tastes. Acting upset or disappointed because someone doesn't agree with you about something as personal and subjective as taste in music is myopic and arrogant. And suggesting albums that we can listen to and become enlightened like you is pointless, boring, and douche, douche, douchey.

Yeah, I really want to like them, but nothing I hear ever clicks with me. I've listened to several of their albums...nothing. Like the thread says, I don't think they're bad...just not for me.

U2, I was a HUGE fan in HS. I lost interest around 1987 when Bono became Christ.

Pearl Jam

[Thebazile78]

Rush. I don't get it.

U2, I was a HUGE fan in HS. I lost interest around 1987 when Bono became Christ.

Pearl Jam

Don't hate me ... I happen to enjoy Rush a great deal, although I am not sure why.

Maybe it's the falsetto, maybe it's the over-produced electronica, maybe it's just the fact that one of them is borderline autistic, I don't know.

I have owned one U2 album. The Joshua Tree. On cassette. I was so naive, and loved the album so much, I thought that they were a new band that the person who'd given me the tape (Dad) had "discovered." (I still love that album, despite not being able to play tapes in my boombox for 15 years.)

CONFESSION: I always confused Pearl Jam with STP.

And I HATE STP.
I used to think they [STP] were music for posers because the only person I knew who raved about them is a poser. Plus, I thought they were crappy. And there are lyrics in their song Plush ("... when the dogs begin to smell her...") make me think of Hamlet (Act 4; Sc. 3):

KING CLAUDIUS

Where is Polonius?

HAMLET

In heaven; send hither to see: if your messenger
find him not there, seek him i' the other place
yourself. But indeed, if you find him not within
this month, you shall nose him as you go up the
stairs into the lobby.


Yes, I am a nerd.

[TheMojoPin]

STP had a brief moment around the third album where they were kind of interesting.

It didn't last long.

[realmenhatelife]

Mudhoney. Sleater-Kinney.

Jazz.

What sleater-kinney stuff have you heard and what was your complaint? I'm a huge fan. Theres a time they were really trying to sound like bikini kill, a time they were really melodic, some very postmodern stuff, and some very heavy stuff, so chances are there is some sleater kinney out there for you.



I couldn't be less into Radiohead or REM. My biggest sacrilidge are probably the beatles and Pink Floyd.

[drusilla]

Fugazi,
A pretty acclaimed band that I liked until I went to see them live. The worst show ever filled with tacky cheesy dancing from the band and the crowd the songs sounded dated

i loved minor threat, but could never ever get into fugazi

& rush is truly awful. i really don't know how people seem to think they are one of the greatest bands ever. i just can not listen.

There's not. I don't think they're bad...I just hear absolutely nothing on any of their albums that I find unique or demanding that I listen to more. I've had several roommates over the years that loved them and played me plenty, and I've seen them live probably half a dozen times (a couple club shows where they opened and headlined and the rest fesitval shows) an I just haven't heard anything that clicked. Like I said, I don't think they're bad...just not for me.

[predators1998]

Springsteen. He's got a great band. A friend gave me a ticket and a ride to see him on the Born In The USA tour. It was a good show, but I just have never given two shits about him or his music. I know all this is pretty contradictory, but I can't put a finger on it. I just don't like him.

[Thebazile78]

.....


...... My biggest sacrilidge are probably the beatles and Pink Floyd.

Not exactly.

I happen to love the Beatles, but I can also understand why people would hate them.

I agree with you on Floyd.
I can't fucking stand Floyd.
I have nearly crashed my car when Floyd comes on the radio while driving...lord almighty, I hate, Hate, HATE Pink Floyd.

[A.J.]

I agree with you on Floyd.
I can't fucking stand Floyd.
I have nearly crashed my car when Floyd comes on the radio while driving...lord almighty, I hate, Hate, HATE Pink Floyd.

I think that part of the reason why people hate Pink Floyd is that classic rock stations played them to death -- especially Dark Side of the Moon.

Notice I said "part of the reason". :smile:

[Thebazile78]

I think that part of the reason why people hate Pink Floyd is that classic rock stations played them to death -- especially Dark Side of the Moon.

In my opinion, another part of the reason is ... I really feel like somebody was an inconsiderate fuck and didn't pass to me in the "puff-puff-pass."

Wanna know the depressing part?


I don't spark up.

[A.J.]

LOL. Much like the Dead for me. Being stoned is probably the only way to enjoy that lame-ass music.

[Thebazile78]

LOL. Much like the Dead for me. Being stoned is probably the only way to enjoy that lame-ass music.

The only Dead song that I can listen to over and over again is Uncle John's Band.
It makes me feel like dancing.

[JustJon]

LOL. Much like the Dead for me. Being stoned is probably the only way to enjoy that lame-ass music.

I can get into the the Dead SONGS, not the hour long drug necessitating jam stuff.

Well, what can I say it was Fugazi in philly I remember it well.
i was confused by the show as well it wasn't what i expected.

Really? Even the "early"/Mod-era stuff?

The only songs i ever leave on the radio when i hear them are "Magic Bus" and Baba O'Riley". The latter really only being for the instrumentals of the song. I honestly can't stand anything about this band.

[paracetamol flanders]

I can't stan' The Grateful Dead, solo projects thereto, bands derived from the Grateful Dead, solo projects of the derivatives, derivatives of the derivatives ad infinitum nauseum all over my shirtum, bands with the letters G, R, A, T, E, F, U, L and/or D in their name(s) and bands whose members resemble any members of The Grateful Dead.

Also, though I, like, TOTALLY get it; as in UNDENIABLE SPIRITUAL MUSIC GENIUS: I don't like jammin', too. Jah, you guessed it: Bob Marley. I'll go out of my way to get up and turn Bob Marley off or flee from a Bob Marley infused space WHEN I AM STONED. It is probably more a function of reggae boring the living shit out of me than an actual disgust. Well, boredom and I hate black people. (L......oh no, not OL).

[TheMojoPin]

Well, what can I say it was Fugazi in philly I remember it well.

I would reccomend giving one of their albums a shot, either the first two or the last one, The Argument, simply because the show as you describe it sounds incrediby bizarre and random.

I'm not reccomending them with the idea of "converting" him. I'm doing it becase the bizarre show he described sounds absolutely nothing like a Fugazi show. It would be like me saying I'm not into Sleater Kinney because the only time I ever heard them was when I saw them live once and everyone was line dancing. If he's still not into them, hey, great, but I figured the point of this thread was more for bands you've heard a lot or even tried to like because you realized they were good and still nothing clicked, not, "I saw/heard them once and they sucked." This isn't about bands people think are awful...it's about bands and music and genres you realize are good but you just can't get into.

Yeah, those aren't the best Who songs to be listening to over and over and over again. (I hate them too.)

I loved the whole Tommy album when I was 14. Thought it was astonishing. I don't know whether this would classify as "pre-Mod era" or what, but I loved the whole album. There are some songs that don't really work as stand-alone pieces, but a lot of them have elements that I've heard in more "modern" music, although I'm the first to admit I'm in a time warp when it comes to "modern" music ... I kind of start at 1989 and stop at 1993.

Anyway, I loved my Tommy cassette so much that I was beyond pissed when my copy ended up trashed in the foyer and I couldn't replace it.

I am familiar with Fugazi. I liked them thats why I went to see them. I was just so confused by the live show and since then I just moved on musically. i respect the members of the group there history, philosphy etc....there not blink 182 after all.

I agree thats why I listed them.I enjoy the dialogue, if you started off calling me a moron then of course i would be annoyed but thats not your style were having a discussion about bands like humans not monsters.

I'm starting to think that i'm insane since what i saw seems nothing like anyone elses experiences. i was driving that night and wasn't drunk, had vietnamese food before the show, did get into an argument with the girlfriend at the time but nothing that ruined the night. I just remember being disappointed with the show and my girlfriend at the time agreed with me that it seemed suprisingly cheesy.

I'm inclined to ask the ex but were on less than speaking terms so I guess that would be a waste of time.

I will never understand people's obsession with Radiohead. They're not bad, but I couldn't listen to an entire album.

Ditto for Weezer.

I think I'm just more curious than anything else...I've seen Fugazi live almost 20 times, and some of them have been "interesting" experiences, but nothing like what you're talking about, not even close. Do you remember where it was and what year? Their fanbase has pretty comprehensive live bootlegs out there, and I'd love to hear a show where the apparently rare "wacky rave Fugazi" showed up.

Those are the only two songs i like by them.

And again I need the reading comp testing.

[badorties]

i like a handful of songs by: pearl jam; foo fighters & tom petty ... i'd go to a show if i was offered a ticket, but i'd never go out of my way to put a song (or record) on ...

Fuck all the emo shit.Bring back the hardcore

[TheMojoPin]

So you're actually saying that you think the "emo shit" is good music?
