Bands that you can't stand, but respect?

Although if you do like Muse instrumental I'd suggest Blackout instrumental (if you haven't already heard it), it's beautiful even without Matt's singing. :wacko:

 

I knew some people here wouldn't like my post. Thanks for the tip. I forgot to add how awesome Knights of Cydonia (the intro at least) is and how epic Newborn instrumentals are.

I just thought of another one!

 

MGMT.

Foo fighters- never got into them

justin bieber-hes just doing what he loves.

rebecca black-people are too harsh.

theres a lot out there.

Radiohead....... I just don't understand anything past OK Computer, everything else after that point is just beyond me, I guess. I respect that they are a hugely influential band, but I just don't like them.

Yeah....

 

:greedy:

Bjork - never really understood what her music is about, but for sure she's influential and quite unique artist.

Joy Division - when I listen to them, I plainly want to die. Maybe that depressive mood never let me appreciate the band, I don't know.

Bob Dylan - I just don't like his voice.

David Bowie - Maybe I'm dumb musically, but I just can't stand his voice and his music. I really tried to dig into, but it's perhaps not my cup of tea. Is it that bad?

Radiohead....... I just don't understand anything past OK Computer, everything else after that point is just beyond me, I guess. I respect that they are a hugely influential band, but I just don't like them.

 

x2 along with U2

Add me to the list of those who don't like but respect U2. Just not my band.

 

I'd also add Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Arcade Fire, and Oasis.

I have to add Bieber to my list. . . I don't like his music at ALL but I think that his voice is a good pop voice (for now at least lol!).

Most people (in the World of Music at least :P) are usually pretty accepting of differences of musical taste, as it is only personal taste of course.

 

No problem! And I personally prefer the ending riff of Knights, especially live. Really gets everyone going crazy! :awesome: I actually haven't listened to a New Born instrumental before, I think I will. :surprised:

 

You may also like the Exogenesis Symphonies. . .mostly instrumental, very pretty. :smiley:

I like and respect Beiber.

 

The Strokes are one band I can't stand but respect I guess? I don't really know if I do or not.

Add me to the list of those who don't like but respect U2. Just not my band.

Don't forget to add me in, too.

The only bands I really can't stand (*coughMUSEcough*) are the one's I don't respect one lick either. :sad:

^This. I don't have any respect for the bands I can't stand either (Radiohead,U2,Pink Floyd,Beady Eye,Nickelback :sick:,Depeche Mode,...)

I've tried to but I can't enjoy The Clash or The Rolling Stones very much besides a few songs :/

I've never really been into Muse, but I respect the fact that they're all very talented and work incredibly hard at what they do. Perhaps I've listened to the wrong albums or something (The Resistance is a decent album, but not once have I ever been able to sit through Black Holes & Revelations)...

^ As a Muse fan I'd say Origin of Symmetry and Black Holes and Revelations are their best albums

^^ Try "Absolution." It's my personal favorite. If that doesn't do anything for you, you should probably just give up and accept that Muse isn't for you.

Roxy Music. I quite like the first 2-3 albums but the others are just boring, IMO, and Bryan Ferry's voice is annoying, but I respect them for being influential for a lot of other bands.

I can't stand Cream (and Eric Clapton as solo) for some reason too.

Arcade Fire

 

 

:freak:

The Foo Fighters- I wouldn't say I can't stand them but just could never get into their music.

 

Funnily enough my second would be Coldplay, again it's not that I can't stand them, in honesty I'm not particularly keen on any of their music I find their guitar and bass especially un interesting to listen to, yet their a huge comercial sucess and lots of people feel very attached to their music so I can't help but respect what they've achieved.

Well obviously add me to the list of people lovehating U2.

I've listened to 3 of their albums yesterday and it was like torture.

I really really REALLY love some of their songs but the rest is so bland and overproduced.

It's like listening to the same song over and over again (apart from the 3 outstanding songs on each album).

2 albums = 16 Grammys. 16? :|

 

Next, I gotta say Radiohead. I've been listening to them for the last couple of months, really enjoying some of the songs.

But between U2 and Radiohead stand Coldplay who get everything right and whom I love. :dazzled:

 

And, in the end, The Beatles. :| Love 10 songs, and the rest? Hugely overrated. But I respect them very much...
