Even though I've not heard one of their songs since about 1993 I've always had an intense hatred of The Cocteau Twins.

Everything about them just makes me want to repeatedly smack a tire iron into their simpering smug faces.

Nooooooooooooooooo

One thing I do admit though, even though I love Cocteau Twins and they have an incredibly consistent discography, sometimes when I listen to them I get the impression that they are holding back from something really special, like they are on the verge of something out of this world but never quite get there.

Avenged Sevenfold
Hinder
Slipknot
Pretty easy pickings, but these bands I really can't stand. I've mentioned it in other threads with the similar topic.

I think if Robin Guthrie had a bit more musicianship in him that would be true, but he's a producer not a songwriter. He is the master of creating a very simple chord progression and building layers upon layers over it until you get the crazy ethereal world that makes up their music. He knows it, too.

Just look at what he did to Lush's album Spooky. They had real music behind their songs but he insisted they just layer up on that ****. It turned that album into Lush featuring Robin Guthrie. He doesn't know how to write actual songs.

This may sound like bashing...but it's not. I'm just being realistic. I freakin love the Cocteau Twins.

For the most part I also have an aversion to female vocalists. There are a few that I like very much, but mostly they leave me cold and turning away.

YES! They're alright sometimes, but except their first album, most of their music is totally generic and boring. They can't come up with a memorable riff to save their lives. And their first album is tolerable only cause it's so commercial. The first half is memorable (though I don't know why it's considered grunge), while the second half just bores. Did I also mention how pretentious they are? I bought their album Vitalogy on cassette from a thrift store a year or so ago, and it had this wierd booklet with it that had all this pseudo-religious and philosophocal bull**** on it. It wouldn't have bothered me so much, but the album had a bunch of boring songs on it, one radio friendly single (Betterman), and a bunch of pretentious spoken word **** that have to be fast forwarded through. So, yeah, **** Pearl Jam.

To be fair, this could also just as easily apply to Joey Ramone.
