M83, My Bloody Valentine, Asobi Seksu, I think in general I like shoegaze but not as much as I remember liking it, or I've listened to so much of it that MBV sounds so generic in the scheme of things because everyone ripped them off. That's probably not what you mean though...

There are probably more but they're the first ones that spring to mind.

of montreal, boards of canada, pink floyd, led zep, queen, annie de franco, MGMT, muse.. gulp, the dismemberment plan ( i was SURE i'd love them)

Foals

i really thought i would but the majority of the songs i really really don't. especially his cover of yo yo bye bye :@ :@ :@

both At the Drive-in and The Mars Volta fall into this category for me. I was SURE they were just my cup of tea after hearing about them, hearing a few odd singles but... I like 'relationship' and I like 'deloused' but I don't LOVE them. They're good records. Solid records. But I was expecting to be blown away and I wasn't.

hate them hate them

dull dull dull, and after a while, annoying annoying annoying

what this question is, since the majority of bands I've found have a couple of superb songs and then an 'ok' album, which I will not be giving the time to grow on me I'm afraid. I'd say twisted charm have the potential to be great if they got a bit more lo-fi and more noisy.

because I assume I'll love it like I love Mogwai.

Often, I don't love it like I love Mogwai. At all.

Xiu Xiu
Dirty Projectors
Animal Collective
LCD Soundsystem
Hercules & Love Affair/Antony
Fiery Furnaces
Lungfish
Battles
The Books
Liars
Sweep The Leg Johnny
Laurie Anderson
Man Man
Akron/Family
etc

not that I dislike the above, mind...and I think they end up providing a giant service to the more 'mainstream' acts... but I don't often listen to many of these more than a few times, eh.

Agreed on Pink Floyd (sans Syd)... they suck balls.

Pulp
Radiohead Kid A Amnesiac era

I listen to these and think what am I missing?? A lot of the bands I like are said to be influenced by them, I like a bit of their stuff but just not overall can't get that immersed.

The White Stripes
Klaxons
My Morning Jacket
Glasvegas

Animal Collective,
Battles,
The Avalanches,
Guillemots,
Wire (although I love some of their songs),
Bright Eyes,
Shack

a strange phenomenon!! yes i think of montreal, mgmt, sonic youth (although i haven;t really listened to a lot for this reason) theres probably others

I've tried, I really have. I just don't get it.

Loved annie just dont wait or something like tht... album was a shocker

Most things involving the label 'anti-folk'.

misguidedly bought that album. ummm also pink floyd as well. there's loads of bands i thought i might like: vampire weekend, yeasayer, that band with the silver cover who sound like they're a glam rock band... umm what's their damn name? animal collective, prinzhorn dance school, glasvegas, thousands...

what the fuck is going on there? i really don't get it.

Xiu Xiu, Shellac.

Foals
The Beatles

Husker Du

I'm a massive fan of american indie rock and i love dinosaur, replacements, lemonheads. I even like stuff like counting crows, but the above bands just don't do it for me.

I hear lots of people say this about FUGAZI.

Every music mag around was eating out of their hands, I previewed some tracks at the shop and jeez, nothing- never bought em. One thing that impressed me about Dis right off was that I didn't see "Neon Bible" clogging up the top ten of 2007 best.

One LP that came out recently that I had high hopes for but sadly fell short was

"Go Away White" by Bauhaus - it didn't suck but it didn't bowl me over either.

the national
panda bear
feist
bright eyes
to name a few..

I just dont get what is so amazing about them. They have a few ok songs but the rest just bores me.

I would like to see them live as they do have a reputation for being good.

it was TIN MACHINE!
nuff said I think.

oh yeah, and Coal Chamber

Sadly :(

I'd listened to their EP a few times- first off, thought they were amazing. Then I started paying attention to the lyrics, which are really quite clumsy. On the plus side, he can really sing, and the vocal melodies are very affecting. But, for me, clunky lyrics and the constant bouncy bombast was enough to knock a few points off.

the last shadow puppets, i really have tried with their new song but it's not catchy at sll.
