Bands/musicians that everybody loves but you can't get into (1 Viewer)

[AntiHyper]

So say from this list, we should pick out artists that we've tried listening to but still don't prefer it..

Radiohead
The Beatles
Placebo
Panic! At the Disco (ftw with this name)

Thats from the top 30.. i cbf'ed to do the whole 100. There are some artists I haven't listened to yet, in the top 30.

EDIT: Can't believe they don't have wolfmum, ramones, pixies, ac/dc up there on the top 30 at least

 

[Born Dancer]

add bloc party and end of fashion (ARRRGGHHHHHHDIIIEEEEE etc) to my list

 

[Trippendicular]

I've divided mine into ones I feel I should like but just can't get into, or that people who I normally have similar tastes to do like... and then those who I refuse to like because I hate the band or something about them.

Ones I feel I should like but don't;

Modest Mouse - My brother wrecked them for me by over-playing a handful of their songs, he'd just stick Float On et. al. on repeat and leave it for hours
Radiohead - I feel I could get into their music but I can't stand Thom Yorke so I refuse to, so they kind of fit in both categories
Hot Chip - just don't do anything for me
Iggy Pop - same thing, it just isn't that special
The White Stripes - Jack White doesn't do it for me
Oasis - same with what people have said before, they have catchy songs but they kind of bore me
My Morning Jacket

Ones I refuse to like because I hate them;

The Presets - I don't even feel the need to justify this one
Wolfmother
Gang Bang DJs/Sneaky Sound System - don't ge me started
Antony and the Johnsons - Antony is a wanker
Muse - Matt Bellamy is an even bigger wanker
Tool - forget about them, but yeah, I hate them too

[Gangels]

Never could like The Killers,
Cant stand Missy Higgins- she should never sing
Lior just annoys me
Only liked one evermore song
And i just cant stand ACDC, i dont know why but i just think they're overrated, even Angus said himself that he plays the same thing in every song.

All great song writers but i think its more the vocals i dont like.

The Music annoy the shit out of me as well. I mean who calls their band the music!

[bazookajoe]

Coldplay, Tool, Panic!, Audioslave, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Foo Fighters

And I thought I'd defend them, <3 The Clash

 

[esquared]

Coldplay, Tool, Panic!, Audioslave, Foo Fighters

because they are mediocre.
although tool have some good songs, but they get tired very quickly.

[ur_inner_child]

You gotta admit everyone liked these at some stage:

Spice Girls
Steps
Aaron Carter (it was a girl thing I suppose)
28 Days
Ja Rule
Ashanti
Coldplay
PJ Jarvey
Powderfinger (until Vulture Street came out)
Limp Bizkit OMGODDDTHANKGODTHEYDIEDORWHATEVER
Korn
D12 (i hung around the wrong crowd)
Silverchair (when they changed their sound... sounded more mellow and thus got popular :/ )
The Dissociatives
Hilltop Hoods
James Blunt
Rihanna (that ballad she sings currently is so painstakingly bad, she's straining her voice by singing the simplest notes, you can hear it)

Still waiting for 50 cent to die.
