Here's the only good Led Zeppelin song.
Ah only joking, I just love cod-reggae.

I like this one cos it's not about elves or his penis
Oh here's one, Vampire Weekend, lots of people I know and who's tastes broadly mirror mine love them but I think they're dull, dull, dull. I don't dislike them enough to tar them with being shit, they're just like a lullaby for my interest.

I thought their 1st album was up there with the best. It was consistent anyway in quality. I should hate them. Usually I hate toff-pop but they're so good at it and especially 5 years ago their arc-welding of Afro-pop and other world pop sounds onto indie schmindie verbosity seemed fresh and exciting.

Led Zeppelin are a top 10 band for me on some days.
If I were to start properly on bands I dislike/don't get/think are shit,I'd probably get banned.

By 'don't get' I mean they're critically acclaimed but every song I hear by them I can't stand, pretty much.

Right now it looks like Animal Collective are gonna be slap-bang in the middle.

I love the Beatles and discover something new every time I listen to them
I mention this because I'm amazed that this thread has gone on so long without someone declaring how shit they are

I've only recently started liking the Beatles.
Well, Revolver is good.
This reminds me of the main type of music I just don't get at all.
There's two actually, but they're basically the same thing.
Music that when you hear it you can only imagine that it was specifically written to be in an American indie film. Some twee shitty "Quirky-core" comedy drama about 20 somethings finding themselves during quirky circumstances. Like
"oh look I'm dying but my last wish is to go to the grand canyon, I know we can get there in my biological fathers dads old bus. I never met him but he left it to me in his will. Maybe by driving it across the country I'll learn more about him and about myself. I know I'll bring along my charismatic best mate who doesn't know I'm dying , the girl I want to ride, and her dowdy mate who's actually way hotter but "I just don't see her that way"." Oooh I wonder what will happen next ? Something quirky no doubt. "Oh look an old Japanese sushi chef who barely speaks english, lets pick him up, I'm sure he'll inadvertently teach us lots about life and love, in spite of his linguistic handicap" FUCK OFF!!!
That earnest gentle bollox about being "true to yourself" or whatever God I can't fucking stand it. It's like covert christian rock.
And secondly Music that sounds like it was specially engineered to be on an advert. Sigur Ros didn't bother me when they first appeared but after 10 years of adverts for fucking Rugby, with "Glacial" bollox on the soundtrack i want to tear my fucking ears off. The most annoying is fucking Beach House. I swear they only write songs that are composed around the standard edits per minute of Guiness adverts. Cunts all of them.
And yes if a booze company asked to use a tune I was involved in making on an ad I would take the money. I need the money. I desperately need the money.
Someone show Diageo this thread and get them to PM me.
Also show this thread to Zach Braff and then strangle the cunt.

Health are another band that I don't get (apart from 1 song)
They don't bother me quite as much as they probably should because it's hard to imagine "Downloading Porn with Dave" or "Who's got the Crack" in a twee core.
Juno though
Fuck sake.
Is there any need to advertise erectile dysfunction or mangled larynx syndrome ?
