"Cool" music that you don't like

[chrisfoll577]

!!!, The Rapture or any other dance-punk band.

Oh yeah, and back when I lived in New York in the early part of this decade, I could never get on board with Fischerspooner, Peaches or anything Electroclash.

[andrew in philadelphia]

i'm sure someone's said it already, but radiohead. they seem like decent enough guys and all, but damn if their music don't bore me to tears.

EDIT: and let me just say, i'm mortified that people put the minutemen on here. shame on youse...

[Susannah]

I thought Kimya Dawson was verboten for FOT because of the "Juno" connection alone...

[tenspeed]

I want to say Sonic Youth, I really want to, but I won't. 

However, I will say Live Sonic Youth. 

[Gilly]

I'll say Sonic Youth.

[John Junk 2.0]

I'll say Sonic Youth.

me too.

[Spoony]

Led Zepplin.

Sorry kids.

[Phantom Hugger]

I want to say Sonic Youth, I really want to, but I won't. 

However, I will say Live any Sonic Youth. 

Ive never seen what the big deal was with these dirty hipsters but I was always shouted down by other less famous dirty hipsters.

Also Pavementzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (is this really rock?)

[yesno]

I'll say Sonic Youth.

me too.

I think the same as Flaming Lips applies for me.  I really like them when they decide to perform rock music, like recently in Rather Ripped.  When they move out of rock, then, booooooring.  Also boring is using your guitar in weird tunings and for sqoinking.

[Amplituden]

Joy Division.
Moan Moan, Bore Bore.

-The Knife: so you want to listen to dance music, but you're scared it'll make you also want to have sex or do drugs, and besides you're more interested in scowling than dancing? Have I got the band for you

perfect!!!

[Gilly]

Is Bruce Springsteen cool or would he belong in uncool music you like? To be fair, I like about 15-20 of his songs, but really dislike everything else.

[Chris L]

!!!, The Rapture or any other dance-punk band.

I actually like !!! as a band but they are totally undone by their sub-Anthony Kiedis buffoon singer. 

The Hold Steady do nothing for me.  Who needs Craig Finn when we have Greg Cartwright in the world?

[Patrick]

the smiths and the cure, im with Rollins on this one..


i can understand why someone would dislike Sonic Youth, but i can put on any one of their albums and listen to it start to finish any day...  

i cant stand most of that new Emo Rap, whats the deal with that?

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

I haven't heard any emo rap but I'm excited by the notion.

While we're at it: Rollins.  Does nothing for me.
