Popular Bands That You Just Couldn't Get Into!?!?

Come on. You know the feeling. You're sat at the pub and suddenly a conversation about a very well-known and well-loved band comes up, and you have to be that complete anus and say you don't like them. "WELL HERE AND NOW, THE LIES STOP!" - Ed Harris. Seriously, we've all been there. I've been there many a time, here is my list.

Nirvana - Outside of "Heart-Shaped Box" I can't listen to this band. They sound like the irrelevant ramblings of a dreamless sleeper.

Joy Division - I did enjoy the film, Control, and I had a housemate who was mad on them, but to me, Joy Division sound like the official who reads out the shipping forecast suffering from a panic attack.

Manic Street Preachers - Again, I had a friend who was mad on them and made me listen to The Holy Bible but, to me, the band sounds like a drunk left-wing activist trying to sing along to a popular pop-track, whilst replacing the lyrics with his impromptu ranting.

Radiohead - Thom Yorke sounds like a gay banshee that's been summoned by a 15th century coven to discourage the youth of this generation from downloading music online....there..i said it

Lou Reed - Whereas I did enjoy The Velvet Underground & Nico, my dad once put on a compilation of Reed's solo career in the car. To me, Reed sounds like the ill-fated result of someone's uncle attempting to make it big in the underground scene after he took to heart a passing comment made at a family Christmas dinner that suggested his best years were behind him.

Come on..join in...don't be shy

I could not agree with this more.

I had a Led Zeppelin phase in my late teens. But I soon found them boring. Their rock music struck me as being monotonous. I much preferred Blue Öyster Cult - and even Budgie.

Anal Cunt: Maybe it's just overexposure—I feel like I hear these guys every time I go to the mall—but I just don't know what people of all ages find so catchy about this band.

i don't think there is anything catchy about them....silly song titles and crap music with 98% unwarranted shock value (RIP)
