What bands that are often highly regarded can't you get into?

Shallowed · 10-12-2009, 07:20 PM

For me, Metallica.

The title seems strangely phrased...

but i'll say the Doors. I've tried numerous times.

see

what are you talking about.since when i have I (openly) appreciated Metallica? i don't exactly know what point you are trying to make.

now, to cover my bases before i start, i like MBV....

BUT FOR FUCKS SAKE NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO. It is funny, and you might not realise this yet, but Metallica fans would probably ask "how can people NOT get into this?", too

Second, I asked the MBV question for clarification on why someone could not get into the band. I still fail to see any specific answers.

music. subjectivity. art. subjectivity.

sometimes, you know, it's not a case of having/finding a reason to dislike a band, moreso a case of "i just don't like the way they sound

Here's another vote for Animal Collective.

Because one person's shoegaze masterpiece is another person's frustrating exercise in ambiance.

I don't know what I'd do with myself without the Pixies... but I have had a hard time getting into the Decemberists, Rolling Stones, and Depeche Mode. There are others, I'm sure I'm missing.

Metallica, Rolling Stones, Pixies... not to say that i don't like a few stones and pixies songs, but i've never understood what the big deal was in either case.

since when does selling records mean your highly regarded? are we counting the opinions of preteens?
