Is there a band that is regarded good by EVERYONE?
Just reading yet another thread of, "I think this band are like naff yeah? You all think they're great? You're all wrong." Once again someone not aware that taste comes in many flavours.
This got me thinking though: is there a band/artist that EVERYONE likes?
Here's what I propose: Post a Band Name as reply to this thread. If you can't abide that band reply to that thread, thus striking them from the list.
After a while there should be one lone, replyless thread which can be crowned the winner of music.
We can then write to the Head of Music, The World and get them to delete all musical compositions that weren't penned by the Winner Of Music - thus ending all "my music taste is different to yours, wanna fight about it?" threads.
I'll get the ball rolling...
Pixies
meh
Raoul_Duke
i thought the grand duke was unapolagetically comitted to sixties hippy shit.
Scouting For Girls
I can't abide
Sorry.
Yeah i was kinda joking
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
I can't abide
Sorry.
Your loss
Fair enough
Why?
^ i have to stick my oar in
on not liking Nick Cave - its not possible. Most people who are don't get him steer clear of him but respect what he does but i've never come across someone who "can't abide him". as someone else said your loss.
really?
you're all wrong
Talking Heads?
Blur, everyone loves em!
They are great doncha know!
I dislike Blur
You're surpassing yourself today
Someone has to.
I think
anyone that doesn't like Blur is lying
Surely
there can't be anyone who says they don't like Talking Heads?
(cue contrary bastard wall post...)
Yeah I know.
It would be completely impossible not to at least be ambivalent towards talking heads.
I fucking hate Talking Heads,
as do a number of my friends.
I genuinly absolutely completely knew you would dislike talking heads.
Well done.
what a surprise.
me too
and blur
pseudo intellectual
party poopers
literally in the case of Byrne?
Pooing in girls mouths, is it?
Yum!
well...
they're all cunts
bit harsh there, sorry
Fugazi
seconded
and talking heads too
^shit
.
the eagles
joke? if not..
can't abide.
Neutral Milk Hotel
?
I abide
many will not..
HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fieldy's Allstars
kevin?
no one can deny that!
What about Lost & Profound?
^WIN^
Now
THIS i can agree with, although some might see both as annoying.
they were caned in time out
so no
(darnielle's lot, i mean. personally i love them)
rolling stones pre-1973 ?
Bastard Kestrel
Wilco
^ no
cheating!!
;)
elliott smith?
^ no

Overrated
Menswear

they totally suck
velvet underground?

^Best shout so far
NO WAI
Worst shout so far.
balls^
Go listen to WhiteLight WhiteHeat
THE BEATLES,
shirley?
raging speedhorn
Yes I am serious...
and don't call me etc...
I don't like them
sorry :(
girls aloud innit.
Seeing them in sheffield next wednesday. Very, very excited.
I would imagine
Beatles
Nirvana
Ramones
Pretty much universally liked, if not loved, right?
no to Ramones
no to all of them.
although i like about 2 nirvana songs.
You don't like Ramones?
You totally should.
likewise, no to Ramones
and only 3/5 yes to Nirvana
I dislike Nirvana and The Beatles for being overrated.
the beatles are
not overrated.
good
for you
nothing like forming your own opinions
big fucking no to Nirvana
unbearable tosh, one of the most overrated bands in the history of everything.
Yes to Ramones
No to Nirvana
No to Nirvana
sorry.
No they were rubbish
when I saw them perform after a rugby game at twickenham. Even G4 were better than them.
Weezer?
At The Drive-In?
David Bowie?
Joy Division
surely? Surely?
...sorry: no
WHAT KIND OF HUMAN BEING
doesn't like Joy Division???
Actually my wife doesn't, so ok.
Are you my wife in disguise?
BUSTED!
(that was a reply to MrScagden, not a call for the band)
Public Enemy?
no
Spoon
The Stooges?
no to The Stooges
Spoon suck balls
Prince
Stevie Wonder
The Specials
nope
I can't emphasise how much I hate The Specials and Madness enough.
But
Stevie tarnished his career with I Just Called and Ebony & Ivory.
Prince is rubbish
his popularity amazes me. Stevie Wonder - meh.
BOLLOCKS
if this thread proves anything, it's widespread lack of taste.
hahaha!
'prince is rubbish'
there wont be a more ridiculous statement in the whole thread
you may not like him but he is the antithesis of rubbish
exactly
when I read that, I felt immediately sorry for the person who posted it on account of their cloth ears -- and consequently lost faith in this entire thread.
again, UTTER BOLLOCKS
clean your ears out. the man is an undisputed genius - brave, precocious, gifted arranger, amazing guitarist, longevity, superb songwriter.
I'm passionate about this, so I will add
you may not like him, which is fair enough -- but to say he's rubbish is unarguably stupid. It's putting him into the bracket of the likes of The Kooks and The Courteeners, who haven't betrayed any signs of originality, influential-ness [?], wit or invention. Qualities which Prince has in buckets.
Sorry I'm finished now, lol
nicely
put
Well you're wrong.
musical preferences in 'totally, completely and utterly subjective' shocker!
Yes you are
etc.... lol
No and no
but no-one slag off Stevie Wonder or we'll get that weird thread about why does no-one on here love the blind guy.
uh
huh
The Specials
Nope
That's sick
if you don't like the first three Ramones records.
There's been no hate for the Beatles yet.....
i dislike The Ramones to extents that would make you sick
Well ...
I don't HATE the Beatles. But I really don't think they were all that. And I can't abide the fawning arselicking of the Beatles. Does that count.
I enjoyed Ringo's later work with the Tank Engines though.
I don't hate the beatles but
meh.
And the name....
And McCartney.
meeeeeeeeeeh
still no
not that much
sorry - i think VU is overrated.
My Bloody Valentine?
You're probably
a bit too young for the Ramones, eh?
perhaps to have experienced it first hand.
What a redundant thing to say: there's plenty stuff pre-"my generation" i listen to.
Some idiot will dislike them for their name.
So far
Talking Heads, Bowie, Weezer, Spoon and Velvets are the only ones not to take any stick.
Surely someone must not like them?
velvets and sponn have bben 'meh-d'
and i'll add weezer to that.
I quote my earlier response.
"Spoon suck balls."
I meant this to convey that I don't like them, not that they actually suck on testicles. I have no idea what they get up to in their own time, and it's really none of my business.
I'll be clearer next time. I apologise.
spoon got a no
my velvets just got a little bit of stick
its ok because they are wrong:)
I know
The world is blighted by fools.
Weezer are shit
And Fugazi
i give fugazi
a big meh, i'm sure it'll click at some point, just not yet.
I would say the KLF?
they are the best singles band ever.
Certainly a meh
to My Bloody Valentine. The records anyway. Live they were pretty good.
shhhhhhhh...
:(
Pulp?
Meh
double meh
:(
Adam Ant, XTC and The Knife
So, to summarise: no-one's dismissed The KLF or pre-73 Stones yet?
or Chris Rea
dyou pronounce it RAY or REE-A
REE-A
you can't categorise
a period within a band's history.
It's like saying who liked Adolf Hitler before he orchestrated the holocaust.
Besides
even pre-73, I'm not a fan.
^ yes
Chris Rea?
The answer
appears to be no.
EVERY TIME I DIE
^ should be, but that's a fail right there
^5
If only.
negative, captain
No, No
I doubt I'm the only one to think this.
youthmovies suck balls
fugazi
surely they dont have any haters
it's not 'hate'
it's just that people might not think they are good. So ambivalence counts.
THIS IS NOT A 'NO' TO FUGAZI FOR THOSE MONITORING
THE SHINS!!
yes, this has to be it
nae chance to The Shins
The Shins
are not very good at all.
^thuis
1 song does not make a good band
then i hate you guys screw you
you have to be
disqualified now - you're being silly.
dislike the shins
so so much
Fat Freddy's Drop
I'm yet to meet someone who knows them and doesn't think they're ace. Even if they are whiteboy reggae.
sorry to burst that bubble...
bugger
you're wrong, but still, bugger.
No to Fat Freddy's Drop
Sorry.
i still think
reggae is where we may find the most suitable answer.
I hate all reggae
so no it won't be
RACIST
;)
madness?
blondie?
yeah everyone
likes Blondie don't they?
Shellac
nope
theyre very very very overrated
not that they dont have a few good songs
but some of their stuff is too stripepd down and lacks melody or direction imo
Flaming gashmonkeys, the lot of you
What about Big Black then?
anyone not like Big Black?
Good God but this thread is putting some backs up. I now want to stab Medulla in the eyes, for example.
The Flaming Lips
Later stuff.
I think I just won the thread. Remember "regarded as good" doesn't necessarily mean that you have to like them.
feels like a kid being fussy with vegetables: NO
What?
Explain this.
Toots & The Maytals
?
but then I very much doubt you'll get a band that everone likes on this site.
theres literally hundreds of bands regarded as good
that no one likes
They have to be regarded as good by "everyone" that was the thread title.
Obviously for the purpose of this thread we can only survey DiS.
but i dont think the flaming lips are good at all
You're strange.
You are remembering the difference between good and liking, yes?
yes.i dont think flaming lips are good they are boring monotonous shite that i and many others do no
They write beautiful, well-written songs.
It's not even my kind of thing usually and I like them.
I come to my original point, you're strange. :p
They write beautiful, well-written songs
MAYBE IF YOU'RE DEAF :P
^ sorry, but gots to agree
there's no such thing.
its completely subjective whether a person things a band is 'good' or not. furthermore, if you think a band is good, then you would also like them. why wouldn't you like something that is good? not liking it would be stupid.
no
shut up
Not possible.
Nobody wins, then...
A noble effort though.
Do composers count? If so, i think it's one of them
Radiohead
Arcade Fire
Cure
---------
I'll line em up. You tap them in.
i think the cure are a good shout
but in general there is always somebody who doesnt like a band.
arcade fire
no chance
huh
how can you go on this site and dislike The 'Head ;-p
^Maybe this
I don't understand how this has got so many replies
when the answer is clearly no
people like to argue though dont they
and dont say you dont!
I don't
:P
You say that, Daniel,
But nobody has yet negated The KLF, pre-73 Stones, Adam Ant, XTC, The Knife or Madness.
No to Blondie, btw.
You appear to be right
In that case, I don't like The KLF, The Rolling Stones (any period), Adam Ant or XTC.
I don't mind Madness and The Knife though, they can stay
bob dylan
radiohead
the smiths
bjork
the cure
i like dylan, but no
not bjork, not radiohead
definitely not radiohead - theyre the single most overrated band in musical history - even ok computer isnt that good - and their stuff post OK has been patchy and does not in any way justify the hype and praise that is moronically throqn their way
well i have a 'thing' about radiohead
in that i do like them, but i think they're undeservingly lauded as musical messiahs. this new record had practically made the top 10 of 2008 lists for every music magazine/website long before it was released. Check out pitchfork's review for further examples of radiohead stupidity - they didnt give it a score, as if to say that they weren't qualified to pass judgement on something so big, so important. its just a record guys!
In Rainbows is overrated.
On the other hand Ok Computer, The Bends and Kid A are great albums.
They did give it a score
But you had to click a couple of times. It was about 9.2, I think.
They did.
Give it a score, that is.
9.3
You just had to click, an the purpose was to mirror the you-choose-what-to-pay thing.
i used to like inside-outside before this post
:(
ok computer isnt that good
sorry just wrong :(
i do like it. a lot
but it grinds my gears to see it automatically get a slot in every best of ever by any magazine/website - but i guess its there cos it deserves to be!
^This
We've been shown the light.
No to Bjork
Or as she would put it it NoOOOoooooo-oo-OOOoh
Bruce Sprinsteen
Johnny Cash
Not sure about regarded as good
but does anyone think Fugazi are rubbish, even if they aren't to their taste?
The thread title should have been..
..what band does no-one regard as rubbish? We'd have a much better chance then.
in that case Fugazi
I struggle to believe that anyone thinks they are a terrible band
I don't think there rubbish..
..and I'm not a fan. I'm practically everyone so it looks like we have a winner.
*their
RADIOHEAD
Looks at threads above posted in same minute as this...
no to Radiohead then.
JENS LEKMAN
Limp Biscuit
c'mon, you know you love them
so much so that even people joking about them dont
know how to spell the name properly
Is that a no then?
Miles Davis
You can't disrespect the man.
Based on the love in the other thread
what about The Paper Chase?
Do more than a certain number of DiSsers need to have heard of a band before they become eligible?
I've not heard Paper Chase...
...so it's not my place to say I don't like them. Think that's a fair enough logic.
kyuss
?
yes^^
i was scrolling down to see if anyone had beaten me to this suggestion! those who haven't heard Kyuss - should - then this debate will be over!
Yeah! I couldn't believe nobody vetoed my shout
And then it was roundly ignored.
Rubbish. I'll take it as a win though.
Haddaway
Everyone loves Haddaway.
What is love.
Baby Don't Hurt Me
please
Oasis
Never met anyone that doesn't like 'em
haha
Wotchyu laughin' at Willis?
you need to get out more
lowest common denominator pub rock. But you were joking. Weren't you?
You're right,
I do need to get out more. But, I wasn't joking, well, not that much anyway.
^Lolz
LOL
have you ever met anyone who likes music?
how about............
led zep?
That's a mighty fine call
I hate Led Zeppelin.
Yeah that's right, HATE!
arctic monkeys
or the beatles
arctic monkeys?
...seriously?
Arctic Monkeys, er no!
Beatles win this thread boths hands down. Even if you don't like 'em, you at least respect them.
they did write some horrendous music though
as well as obviously some fantastic music
My girlfriend
is obsessed by the Beatles - half of our shelves are covered with their, CDs, records and books. We also have a picture on the wall. This makes me hate them. I want to get some Jeff Mangum revenge on her (who she hates) but there just isn't enough stuff.
aka
Arse-sick Bum-keys
yes i am this childish
there were genuine belly laughs
Johnny Cash
not a band i know, but i dont think ive ever heard a bad word said about his music from anyone.
^I already said this one
so you did
i only fully read the first 10 or so replies before scrolling down to see if he was mentioned. Must've missed it.
Death from Above 1979. A band who were genuinely liked by fans of all genres.
theyre ok i guess
hmm
apart from people who dont like their rock heavy?
great band though- sorely missed!
^^ cash
or Bowie
this is a silly question to ask
a bunch of cynical sarcastic bastards like the DiS messageboard, speaking as a cynical sarcastic bastard who is a member of this board
nobody is gonna agree
everyone's too opinionated.
And snobbish
If someone who dislikes a band for 'being overrated', then we don't got much hope. Does anyone older than 14 really say that kindof thing anymore? Sure, plenty of bands are overrated, but is the deification of Nirvana really that much of an irritant if you're actually past the stage of hero-worship? Almost anyone with a fringe who can hold a guitar is going to be overrated very quickly in the current climate (see the kooks, killers, rakes, fakes, whoever), but I dislike those bands cos their music stinks like rotting flesh, and surely the misplaced adoration of others ain't worth me worrying about?
yes seriously
the majority of people i know or met, like them or have some sort of respect for them
REM
end thread.
There are loads of people who actively hate REM!
I'm not one of them, I hasten to add.
Stone Roses
or Happy Mondays!
funny guy
Elbow?
elbow
are awful
no chance
Belle & Sebastian?
*ducks*
Kylie Minogue!
No-one hates Kylie Minogue. She is brilliant. There we go!
I was actually
going to suggest Kylie too.
She's pretty much an institution. Kylie is to pop, what Kate Moss is to modelling.
Despite releasing music that doesn't appeal to my ears, she has a life story that you can't help but feel apart of.
Growing up with Kylie in neighbours, listening to Kylie breaking into the market with her SAW nonsense...then Kylie tried to go indie, and failed, and then came back, reinvented as some petite dancing girl (with a great arse) that took the media by storm.... we've had romance, we've had illness, we've had it all..... and so yes - my vote goes to Kylie.
Deftones?
Portishead?
Think Fugazi have won this thread though.
Veto on Deftones
I think...
Interpol manage it, if no-ones mentioned them.
Interpol!?
I'd rather my dog was sick in my ears than listen to interpol.
^ i dislike Interpol AND think they're bland,
. So no.
There is...
...a difference, I think, between "liking" and "regarding something as good"...
I concede, for example, that Blur were very good. I do not however like them very much. Similarly, I accept that the Beatles changed the musical landscape forever, and that that makes them really rather good. However, on the whole, I do not like them.
I don't know if that makes any difference to the outcome of the question, though.
Just a thought, really.
CLOR
hah
I scanned down the list again and I didn't see any Blondie dissenters?
Is that one we can all agree we like; at least a bit?
it's close to a no
but they do have their place. By the skin of their teeth, they stay
nup
As a general rule...
I distrust anyone who doesn't like the Beatles.
We have Blondie and Chris Rea:
anyone desiring to declare their disregard for either being classifiable as 'good', speak now
Chris Rea
Our survey says ... WEAHK-AHHHH.
(That means no. I apologise for my terrible Family Fortunes transliteration.)
Blondie can stay though. I heart Debbie Harry.
see i really dislike Blondie, but i respect they are good.
^ which sounds totally oxymoronic
Or just perhaps just moronic
gosh, fancy me disliking a popular band!
SHOCKER! THE most moronic thing of 2008 so far i think.
Not the most moronic thing of 2008,
but perhaps the most sarcastic?
i'm not sure disliking a band is sarcastic
Disliking a band you think are good
makes you moronic. Any reason you give for diliking them after admitting you think they are good will be a moronic reason.
i disagree
personally, there are lots of bands that i dislike but can appreciate their talent. like radiohead. it doesn't mean i don't think they're good, it's just not my kind of music.
Fair point
Personally I dont feel able to comment on the "goodness" of a band whose music I actively dislike, but I see how people more versed in music theory could do this.
no
Another couple to try
PJ Harvey
TV on the Radio.
I've tried to like TV On The Radio
but the singer sounds too much like Peter Gabriel being garotted.
And before ANYBODY volunteers Antony & The Johnsons. It's a big NO.
no to PJ Harvery
yes to TVoTR
Mission of Burma
Gang of four
Bear vs Shark
Fugazi should win though
...
TALKING HEADS
FUGAZI
ELLIOTT SMITH
JOY DIVISION
LEONARD COHEN
SYMPOSIUM
everyone i've ever met likes all of them.
no Leonard Cohen, no Symposium, no Joy Division
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW IN THE NAME OF HOLY JUDDERING FUCK CAN YOU NOT LIKE LEONARD COHEN?
I was joking about Symposium
but if you don't like the other five then you're screwed.
gang of four is a good shout.
Joni Mitchell?
this is a good shout
Dull
Elvis Presley
end off
Chuck D
hates him.
No.
ban anyone who said "no" to Ramones
Ban me, try
Can we not just ignore the morons who said no to Talking Heads and crown them champions of music in
?
Gorkys. Surely.
Probably you already suggested this. this thread is too long.
predictable
Craine
and now avanGaäd
octeau Twins?
I have to say, if Fugazi/Ramones/Blondie win this i'll retire from music elitism.
Cocteau Twins
clearly.
The Supremes
Honestly.
Show me a person who doesn't like Motown music.
It's what binds the world together.
Like glue. Or a warm egg yolk. Or a common hatred of Fizzy Chewits...
plenty of people don't like motown.
Who the hell doesn't like Motown...!?
It's never been cool to dislike Motown and I wouldn't trust anyone who did dislike it... it's utterly brilliant.
erm...
hi?
Sorry....
...
cocteau twins should win this
No.
^ the correct answer.
I liked their early stuff
but not so keen on the new album.
Really?
People you know don't like Motown?
Thats odd... I seriously don't know anyone who has a problem with that genre of music. It's what most of us grew up on.
Maybe its a bit like getting on with your family when you're young, then hating them, and then starting to like them again later on when you realise that they sometimes had a point.
Fair enough. I seriously didn't expect them to beat Fugazi anyhow. The only thing I can think though is that these so called people you know have had their very souls removed...
i think you replied in the wrong place,
was that to me?
and no, some people just don't like motown. and i can see why. i don't think there is a answer to this that everyone can agree with tbh because there's always someone who will hate a band for whatever reason.
No I agree whole heartedly
I was just under the impression that everyone liked something that falls under the Motown tag, thats all - Marvin Gaye / Supremes / Temptations / etc.
I sit corrected.
hmmm
i don't HATE them personally, just i know people who do. ah welll...
I am the one they speak of
I don't enjoy Motown. Sorry.
Why am I apologising? I don't like Motown. There.
I didn't grow up
on fucking motown.
I'm not aware of their work
personally
Now you're just being silly.
No, there is not one band that is regarded good by everyone.
At The Drive In
Don't think they've had any no's yet, or the Mars Volta
I'm definitely vetoing the Mars Volta
Everything since De-loused has been unlistenable self-indulgent masturbatory nonsense.
AtD-I can stay though.
This right here is
a definite "no" for AtD-I.
Sorry.
Oooh oooh oo
Real answer: Massive Attack
Only joking a little bit answer: Elton John
Thing is,
if The Kinks had been as big as The Beatles, there'd be about 10,000 'I don't like The Kinks' replies.
Basically, if you appeciate one of those band's merits, you HAVE to appreciate the other's.
Its much more indie to dislike the Beats though, and much cooler to like the Kinks.
I dislike the Beatles and like the Kinks
Am I cool??
Cool!
Yes!
Everyone likes the kinks. Even your mum likes the kinks.
You're also
a bit retarded. Possibly.
Yup.
Well actually you'll probably get a lot of indie people saying "yeah well he just played the guitar and as we all know synths are so much better".
But they're all WRONG.
He was fantastic to the extreme in pretty much every way.
Kings of Leon
.
Kings of Leon
have two good songs, but are predominantly not very good at all.
Consider them vetoed.
thats a load of rubbish
they are really very good, i never get tired of listening to any of their albums.
Tom waits.
If you don't like tom waits you're a doofus.
His voice annoys the fuck out of me to be honest, I wish he wouldn't ham it up so much
...and he didn't used to. I love Martha, for example.
But of course I see why people love him, he's a very talented guy -- if that doesn't count as a disqualification?
The Cure?
I fail to see how anyone could objectively dislike them.
Rage Against The Machine
Don't see it myself
devo
they haven't been mentioned yet
best call yet has to
have been the smiths
Nah
The Smiths had a couple of great songs (The Queen Is Dead and There Is A Light...) but a whole pile of rubbish.
i HATE the smiths
The Bee Gees...
in their early years, they made some phenomenal songs... honestly.
nah theyre shite
Actually, you're right!
Hot Snakes
libertines?
this won't last for long
If there is one band is has to be Madness!
How anyone can dislike them is beyond me.
broken social scene
?
oh god no
the postal service?
^ good
but i can't imagine metal fans liking them.
metal fans dont count
why??
^ also good.
I saw Why?
last week, with Dirty Projectors and Xiu Xiu. Why? bored the shit out of me. He wants to be a rapping Jad Fair, and does a piss poor job of it.
The Go-Betweens
Happy Wednesday everbody, I'm new here and surprisingly I'm not trying to sell anything or promote my crap myspace band. The Go-Betweens is the obvious answer here, and if anyone says otherwise I'm immediately leaving out of protest...
on the money
my friend.
Dylan especially!
After scanning this entire thread...
the only definitive conclusion to the original question is "No".
Not even the Beatles get a collected affirmative nod.
But as Raoul_Duke brilliantly says, "taste comes in many flavours", and surely, this is what makes music so f*ckin' special, brilliant and, ironically for the thread, uniting.
I basically agree
But still no=one objects to the kinks.
if you name a band
that no one has heard of... then no one will be able to pass their judgement, and so they would win by default no?
so...
i can't believe its the ramsus holmen experience
oh, and
no to travelling wilburys. sorry.
Los Campesinos
?
they need to
kill the male singer. or just prevent him from ever singing again.
then yes.
Yes I agree!!
You are right!
its soo painful
to hear something that could have been potentially brilliant completely ruined by one thing
yes
no need for capital letters
No to ramsus holmen experience...
I overheard them in a field once, sound like cows being slaughtered by yodelling Anne Robinson clones. Therefore my Go-Betweens are still in with a shot!
surprisingly accurate
description... but minus points for only 'overhearing'
haha
thats so going on our myspace
THE UNICORNS
C'mon
I fucken hate the La's
oh god
what a terrible band!
meh
las are arse
Brian Eno
Gary Numan
The Monkees
I have the correct answer!
THE BLUE NILE
Yeah, fuck anyone who doesn't like the Blue Nile
...and I can't say I've met anyone who doesn't have a soft spot for J5 either...
Muscles
hahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahah
jurassic 5
finch
Flaming Lips
And
Beck
BECK
hell yes. Odelay is a word.
flaming lips are overrated to fuck though.
Flaming Lips could not be less over-rated,
no matter how arbitrary this thread is, I do quite like it.
beck
no i wouldnt say so
Magazine
Marvin Gaye
PiL
And agreed about The Go-Betweens, surprised no-one else seems to.
And yeah, Beck
.
Oooooh,
yes to PiL and Marvin Gaye. But Magazine (although Secondhand Daylight is great) -- too chilly and overproduced in places. And Howard Devoto wasn't half as clever as he thought he was.
What about Wet Wet Wet?
Marvin Gaye
is the best call on the whole of this thread so far.
He's winning for me.
Can't imagine why anyone would not like his music.
Apart from his dad?
[perhaps a step too far]
Chilly?
'Model Worker' and 'Shot By Both Sides' warm my soul - but perhaps I'm not normal.
Smiths yeah.
Simply Red innit.
And
Of Montreal
Mansun
Sufjan Stevens
Karen Dalton
hmm about Mansun
ummm but your onto something with Sufjan and Of Montreal
Sorry, no chance with Of Montreal
Although that one with the really bouncy bassline is catchy.
The song titles are pretentious enough before you even put the records on. They put some of Panic At The Disco's to shame!
the quality of musicality
is not within the song titling.
yeah
thats something PATD never figured out. My friend played me some of their new record.. seriously... what the fuck?
Just cause you can't sink the seine :p
oh, ok then
i think the music is shit as well. sorry if that wasn't clear
i know quite a few people who will openly admit to disliking the smiths
They are all IDIOTS for that though
BOB DYLAN!!!
Nobody has said no for this man yet... he is a genius!
See also;
THE BEACH BOYS
THE BEATLES
ELO?
^ way up there
people said no to Dylan.
Good call
ABBA
is the answer.
true.....
.....also see The Carpenters
Take aim!
Fire!
ABBA are shit. That was more satisfying than taking down Bambi's mum with a headshot.
Awful
Low
Hi yeh...well err
Deus

But you won't go down for a kiss?
Prude.

Great thread this!
Has anyone said Mozart yet?
My girlfriend hates Mozart
:(
She loves classical music, just hates him. Strange lady.
Lovely though.
Many of which sucked.
Unfortunately. DOn't imagine Syd Barrett is much of a fan anymore either.
Hes not much of anything anymore

This is a depressingly beautiful line
SUPER . FURRY . ANIMALS
[Dusts off hands nonchalantly after finding winner]
Meh
Nowhere near as good as the self-regarding self-congratulatory indie communities of Britain like to pretend.
lies
this person clearly needs to listen to Radiator more.
SFAOK.
I'd like to see you justify the self-regarding bit,
Really so so wrong about that.
and the not very good bit as well...
Was this response a bit inevitable?
cant stand them
django reinhardt?
you either love him or you're just wrong.
Marvin Gaye, definitely
The Velvet Underground
innit.
I win
because Marvin Gaye wins; only his dad's disagreed so far and he's dead and doesn't have a DiS profile.
Marvin Gaye takes this thread...
no-one's disagreed thus far (except some smart-arse comments about his dad not liking his music blah blah blah).
Marvin Gaye's the winner!
Yeah, I disagree with you.
The Notwist

The Notwist

morning frank, ali.
Morning that lol is really loud.
So much loud. :)
this might win,
if it weren't for Bowie who probably has something for everyone.
Sorry
I genuinely dislike queen's music. Every time i admit this out load I get the kind of reaction you'd expct if you admitted to selling children for a living. So maybe you'd be right if you just killed me off.
This thread is doomed to be never ending as for every suggestion there will be a sarcy DiS "yah like dude do you even have ears he's shit. The answer is sooo ...." to which there will be a reply of "dude do you even have ears..."
Hell
No, Queen would win if it was a 'band that makes you feel sick.
The Beach Boys
Surely no-one could dislike the Beach Boys?
No one
can surely dislike the beach boys?!
It is impossible isn't it!?
haven't seen anyone mention...
Pavement
AC/DC
Hüsker Dü
Probably because they will obviously fail
as/dc
nope
*ac/dc
nope
Yay!
How can you not like Hüsker Dü?
Yes
The Sleeping years.
