Bands within your respective genres you just can't get into.

[Arsen]

Deicide or for that matter, any other death metal and grindcore act that tries to emphasize "Sheer brutality" over song structure and emotion. Death was phenomenal, Morbid Angel was good, but Deicide is just horrible.

I also wish that the majority of these "Neo-Symphonic Power Metal" bands coming from Norway, Finland, and Sweden would learn how to effectively play without having the keyboard become a second guitar (Unless of course, you are as skilled Warmen is). Not that a good amount of these bands aren't talented and I don't love it, however I am just seeing a lack of originality in some key areas.

opeth is a band I have repeatedly tried and tried to get into as they are one of the more respected and loved metal bands but I just don't get it I can't even get though a full cd

on another note I can't stand bands that focus on Sheer brutality or being "evil" over actual music capability though all those "evil" Norwegian black metal bands do provide me with great amusement when they get all dressed up for their photo shoots

I typically enjoy a lot of electronica/dance/trance. That being said, I've been have a lot of trouble getting down with Prodigy when stacked up against Chemical Borthers or Crystal Method. Seems Prodigy lyrics are very angry and repetitive lately. Their most recent 'Ivanders Must Die' video is very...um...I don't know...I was lost and then thinking it was stupid.

 

[The Kind Cannibal]

Children of Bodom.

I honestly try to enjoy them, but it's impossible with that damn keyboard and annoying vocalist.

 

[Good morning blues]

I'm a fan of post-rock, but I find a lot of post-rock bands to be really unremarkable, repetitive, and boring, which isn't a groundbreaking statement. A lot of people seem to disagree with my opinion that Mogwai is one of these bands.

Agreed. Prodigy was GREAT back in the early-mid 90's, but they just lost the plot I think. Also, everyone raved about Mindless Self Indulgence, and I just couldn't get into them. It was fun to listen to once, but good lord, don't make me listen to it again!!!

I agree the new Prodigy track is awful but Music For The Jilted Generation is one of my favourite albums ever, it's a shame they're trying to sound like fucking Pendulum.

Anyway, bands in genres that I like that I just don't get: DJ Sharpnel (speedcore), The Smiths (indie), pretty much every artist on Anticon (hip hop), Scooter (jumpstyle), Satyricon and Gorgoroth (black metal), Metallica (thrash metal)

I would like to state the fact that S.O.D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Slayer >>>>> Metallica.

I'm a heretic, and a blasphemer...

I... don't like Rage Against The Machine...

...or Radiohead.

I'm sorry! I've tried! I've tried really, really hard!!

first album was great, the others were just like the first

...or Radiohead.

I'm sorry! I've tried! I've tried really, really hard!!

agreed they suck

so does u2

 

[xitel]

Well, I like metal, but I find that most metal bands are either hit-or-miss. For example, I love All That Remains, but Acid Bath is crap. As for the techno scene, the songs are so varied, it's not all that easy to say. I will say though, that I can't get into Daft Punk.

 

[electric discordian]

Hmmm Cradle of Filth are a band I not only dont like but hate with a firey passion I normally reserve for plastic pop. In fact I would rather pay to watch the Jonas Brothers covering "Dark side of the moon" than see Cradle for free

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

Radiohead... their albums always seem more miss than hit.

So it's not just me then?

I also can not listen to In Flames. I have been preached at by my friends to listen to just how "BRUTAL" and "KICK ASS" they are, but the songs I've heard sound like a dog draped in bubble wrap trying to escape from an overturned rubbish bin. Can not get away with them at all.

Cradle Of Filth are pretty much a plastic pop band, they're metal for 13 year old girls with loads of acne who get bullied all the time.

 

[jezz8me]

My Bloody Valentine. I like all that shoegaze, dreampop sorta of post-rock kind of stuff but could never get into them.

I could never realy get into Modest Mouse bu i like similar music.

I don't like Alien Sex Fiend but i love post-punk and batcave style goth rock.

Er, I have to somewhat disagree. Within its prospective genre, which is Melodic Death Metal, they are one of the best bands I have ever heard

If you don't like the genre, you won't like that band though.

[CrafterMan]

I can't stand Cradle of Filth either, so I agree with you there.

 

[Spacelord]

I can't stand Cradle of Filth either, so I agree with you there.

I remember when I was a young metalhead trying to fit in, and I liked Dimmu Borgir but not other, more 'underground' black metal. I never told anyone.

I was right though - most of those bands just suck. Cradle of Filth is a pretty good example itself.


Right now, finding myself liking older music, I just don't really think Elvis was that great. Am I going to get stabbed in the throat now?

 

[CrafterMan]

Meh that underground stuff can be terrible you're right there.

Mainstream metal isn't bad!!

Just because its mainstream does not point to lack of talent! (Not all times but hey)
