(not me though colon open bracket)



  • Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

    Although they probably receive a warmer welcome than your mention.

    • are they really not well received on here

      i quite like them.

    • Clap Your Hands

      Are fantastic - who doesnt like em?!

  • The Wombats

    is the main one that springs to mind.

  • Dunno really.

    Maybe one or two?

  • there's nothing remotely closet about my love for blink

  • none really

    i only like stuff that no-one else has heard.
    At the moment i'm really feeling the sound of my forefinger tap-tap-tapping on my pulled-tight scrotal sack.

    Its really mathy.

  • Young knives....

      • I should have seen them last Friday...

        they were meant to be playing with Johnny Foreigner and Tubelord at The Joiners, but they bailed.

        • i saw them in leeds

      er. Yes. Lots and lots of stuff that is never mentioned here. This is a very closed minded community.

  • ska punk bands.

    • WHO LIKES THEM

    • It's really sad how some REALLY good bands

      get tagged as ska-punk and get instanored.

      • Yup.

        A glimpse of a brass section and some people just don't bother and it's a bit sad really. :(

        • Yeah.

          I suppose the genre tag doesn't do the music the greatest favours.
          One of my favourite bands is bomb the music industry! who i'm unable to share because of that thirty second brass bit in the bridge.
          :(

          • Ah... they're that band

            that give out all their music free, right? Sort of a big collective? I like them.

            • Yeah that's the one :D

              have you ever got round to trying an album?

        • ^so true

  • ABBA

    Adam and the Ants
    Girls Aloud

        • i love girls aloud

          so much
          theyre amazing

          • Adam Ant Rules!

            My wife totally got me into Adam Ant about five years ago. And Julian Cope. Woo!

            • I have a lot of love for Adam Ant

              There, I've said it...

              And Dexy's Midnight Runners are amazing...

  • kula shaker

  • Marilyn Manson

    Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animal are two of the best albums ever written, FACT!

    • ^ i like all their albums...even Eat Me, Drink Me

      • really?

        I like all except eat me, drink me which I thought was pap.

        He got back with twiggy so the future looks good mind!

  • Quite a lot of 80's cock rock.

    So bad. I really believe Alan Partridge has pretty good taste.

  • Dream Theater

    and Willie Nelson! maybe you guys here are hip to willie but Ive been crucified at parties for professing my fondness for mr nelson.

    • Willie FTW!

      He's mad ghetto. He's collaborated with Snoop Dogg now. They both like a wee puff I hear.

  • CARLA

    BOZULICH!!!

    or the low lowsssss

  • MUSE

    yep...

    • alot of people like Muse here,

      though bringing their name up will cause many a Origin Of Symmetry vs Absolution vs Black Holes & Revelations debate

      • We all know BH&R would lose dramatically.

      • why not Showbiz?

        • Showbiz is an amazing album

          just for Hate This And I'll Love You.

          • absolutely

            muse have never bettered showbiz. i still remember seeing them tour that album at the hop and grape at manchester uni - supported by soulwax - legendary gig!

  • The Kooks

    and Robots in Disguise.. Phew, feels good to get that out.

  • Alanis Morissette

    Orgy
    Sevendust
    311
    Scribe

    • the killers

      foals (some love some hate)
      the music
      young knives
      kasabian

    • they've done tests

      and its actually impossible to like 311. Humans just can't do it.
      Something about the survival instinct.

  • Kate Nash

    The Tings Tings

    • Oh and Green Day

      do people like them on here?

      • Queen

        .

        • *Deep breath*......

          Coldplay...I love X&Y; and The Killers...I think Sam's Town is great.....

  • Well,

    Coldplay (Parachutes and ROBTTH)
    Strokes (One of my favourite bands, I really think First Impressions is hugely underrated as well)
    The Cribs
    Reel Big Fish (Only first two albums really)
    Streetlight Manifesto

    Mostly I do seem to dislike the sort of bands DIS members do, I'm just not as extremely hateful and OTT about them.

    • i stand by coldplay

      because any band that can make Parachutes is worthy of my time. They've never quite lived up to it afterwards, but i don't care much. No-one's making me listen to the others.

  • Loads of them

    I tell people my favourite bands are:

    Sunny Day Real Estate
    The Thermals
    Elbow
    blah blah blah

    My actual favourite bands are:

    Lostprophets
    Kaiser Chiefs
    The Feeling

    • what no

      shed 7?

    • Personally

      I'd be more ashamed of the first list than the second.

  • Shred

    Anything with a 5 minute self indulgent fretboard wank fest guitar solo brings a smile to my face

  • Spanish For 100

    The Dears
    Dog Fashion Disco

    People seem to be mentioning all the bands that are generally disliked, not the ones that aren't popular.

  • the beautiful south

    queen
    and there's less love for belle and sebastian on here than you may think.

  • Delays

    Coldplay

  • The Zutons!

    I doubt they are very popular on here, and I'm waiting for the new album to get a slating when it gets reviewed, if it even does! I like it a lot though.

  • I'm so going to win this game!

    Jamiroquai !!!

    • i love Jamiroquai, so i'll join you there

  • as i always answer,

    enon.

  • Japan

    Roxy Music

    • roxy music

      post-eno.

      • <3

      • my god no eno in roxy was best line-up

        gawd yes!

        after eno split it was all bryan ferry and some dance band- except "country life" but ultimately all roxy music rules!

    • Both yes to these (Japan + Roxy), definitely

      I don't see Steely Dan getting too much love round these parts, despite them being totally awesome.

      Also Phoenix.

  • minor threat

    cro-mags
    jerry's kids
    SSD
    ludichrist
    poison idea
    bulldoze
    wrecking crew
    agnostic front
    awesome dumb hardcore in general

    • yeah

      minor threat are HATED on here

      • And a good thing too

        because they suck.

  • Phil Collins

    • Counting Crows rock as a...

      ...live band.

      I shit you not.

  • ...

    Fall out Boy
    Ben Folds

  • Foals

    Manic Street Preachers

    • ^exactly this

      also blood red shoes? I suppose they get more of a mixed reception either ways I think their ace

  • !

    los campesinos? Not sure if this counts but everytime i see them mentioned, a lot of people express their hatred for them

    the odd song from the pigeon dtectives, wombats MCR etc etc etc - hey it makes me smile!

  • The White Stripes

    I know they have largely gone to shit now but I never see any love for them.

    • Fuck it

      I am going to get slaughtered but I don't care:

      Journey
      REO Speedwagon (70s stuff only)
      Styx
      Billy Joel
      Thin Lizzy
      Heart
      Boston
      ZZ Top
      Doobie Bros.
      Steely Dan

      Yup - that's just how I roll...

      • I've got love for the 'top

      • Ballsy post 80's kid!!!

        I can dig the Doobie brothers, a couple of Thin Lizzy numbers and thats it.
        I have a strange affection for Keane that I cannot explain as they are a band who by all rights I should hate.

        • Believe me...

          If there's a better song than 'More Than A Feeling' by Boston, I've not found it yet.

          • ^^^ha ha ha ha

            If thats what floats your boat then fair do's.

      • No one

        should ever be ashamed of liking the Top. You should wear your love of ZZ Top like a freaking tattoo on your forehead.

    • i totally love

      the white stripes, but the raconteurs are getting better and better. white stripes may soon be overshadowed entirely.

  • Placebo

    fuk u everyone, their first album is still good!

  • A few

    Kate Nash, The Libertines, Coldplay and The Shins are the first that come to mind.

    • Eh? The Shins?

      I thought everyone loved them? Or am I confusing dis and pitchfork?

      • I got mainly negative replies when I asked about their popularity here before

        Not conclusive evidence, but all I have to go on.

  • Manic Street Preachers

    U2, Journey and many more I'm sure.

    But I deem all these bands cool, its all you guys who are the wankers!

  • ....=)

    Everybody seems to dislike Vampire Weekend, and Los Campesinos! But they both rock my soul. For certain.

    • People seem to really love them

      on here usually... Los Campesinos gets a great reputation on here usually. Well deserved as well even though I haven't seen them live since last June :(.

  • xCAMPAG VELOCETx

    Mediocore

  • the Weakerthans

    they could totally be a DiS kind of band but they aren't

    • 4 REAL

      They are amongst the initiated, but they're a little low profile right now.

      I remember when Left and Leaving came out, it got a fair bit of attention, but they've not managed to retain it.

  • George Pringle

  • The Hoosiers

  • Panic At The Disco

    Paramore
    Kids In Glass Houses
    Cancer Bats
    Alexisonfire
    Lightspeed Champion (splits opinion round here)

    • OH, But mostly

      'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge' by My Chemical Romance <3

      • This thread

        is now long enough that noone will read it when I say;

        I fucking love Cobra Starship!

        I've seen them twice this year. Suck it bitches :]

  • This is a bit 'guilty pleasures', isn't it?

    I quite enjoy 30STM, a few MCR songs, some Foo Fighters, QOTSA, some Biffy Clyro and Robots In Disguise.

    I don't know if they're all badly received, but hey, laugh at my uncoolness.

  • hmmm

    Kate Nash, The Libertines, The Strokes, Babyshambles, a lot of Sugababes, George Pringle, "early" Hadouken! (ie not the album) and The Wombats come to mind immediately. Maybe I shouldn't be here.

    • Agreed on Early Hadouken

      Not Here To Please You > Early Mixtapes >>>>>>>> The Album

    • NME.com forums are

      THATTAWAY >>>

    • I noticed you gave Neutral Milk Hotel 7 on your band ratings

      Keep listening, seriously.

  • raging speedhorn

  • the killers

    loads of r&b. i like watching westlife videos. boyz ii men, and other ridiculously glossy "contemporary soul". the first coldplay album is good, second one quite good. ive enjoyed every wombats single except lets dance to joy division which was horrific. i thought it was over by the feeling fucking RULES. my favourite live video on youtube (apart from mogwai playing helicon 1 at fujirock 06) is luther vandross singing a house is not a home at the 1988 naacp awards.

  • Pearl Jam

  • Kings of Leon

    don't seem to get much love here but I love them sooooo much.

    • i can't imagine lots of people hating them

      just not lots of people going on about them all the time.

  • Blink 182...

    are definitely one of my top listened to bands, only today i listened to enema of the state in its entirity,
    also box car racer, journey and styx

  • Bloodhoundgang

    yeah, me.

  • Oasis

    Yeh, and what?

    • Little Man Tate

  • Zwan

    Paramore
    The Offspring
    Yes

  • FOB

    !

  • You may inject me with Arsenic but I shall pump on...

    The Enemy
    Hard-Fi

    Kasabian

    Hadouken! - just because you think that the whole nu rave/electro band thing is good, does not mean that you like shit music, if that were true I might bow and kiss NME's big feet!

    Flobots one of the least well known on here i'd say

    Malefice

    Crystal Castles

    Noah & The Whale? anyone?????

    I saw a Reel Big Fish mention and had to add to it!

    Oh and for the Muse debate its clearly Absolution, the best combination of melodies and rape around, plus one of the best album covers ever!

    • Absolution..

      can suck my bum.
      It's so dull and overproduced.

  • crystal castles

    is my favourite album of the year

  • wait for it...

    ....

    .....

    lupen crook <3

  • FrankMusik

  • Bruce

    Springsteen.

  • Thee Michelle Gun Elephant

    Sloy
    Arsenal
    Bull
    The U-Men

    probably only not popular because most people have never heard of them

    • thee michelle gun elephant are....

      fucking brilliant!

  • Due to never escaping the early 90s

    I still shake my floppy fringe at:

    Thousand Yard Stare
    Mega City 4
    Ned's Atomic Dustbin

    Yes I know they're shit. It's my cultural heritage though.

  • animal

    collective

    • WIN!

      animal collective are amazing.

      • FTW!

        I love animal collective

        • Everyone

          on here loves Animal Collective...they've been the darlings of the oh-so-trendy indie set for a couple of years now.

          • yh but in recent months

            its been like a little bit cool not to like them
