RADIOHEAD. I should love everything about them but I just do not like Thom Yorke's voice :(

oasis.

 

self-explanatory really.

oasis.

 

self-explanatory really.

i hate them too. i find it unfathomable their egotism when they've essentially released the same album over and over again.

 

kings of leon is another for me.

See I always though Radiohead and mainly for his voice but Atoms For Peace are really wonderful and there a handful of songs of theirs/his I just ADORE. The vast majority I find to be dull rubbish though.

both o the above are so bang on.

 

in fact can't think of any others. radiohead and ppl like kings o Leon are always my go to answer to this question but then KOL et al aren't even very popular any more

kings of leon is another for me.

 

I'm not sure why I keep buying their albums in the hope that they'll be like their 04-07 vintage when it's blatantly obvious they won't be.

Florence and the Machine

The Strokes

i think perhaps we should exclude kol/strokes etc as that is more LADINDIE and less the more alternative side we are all into collectively.

 

p4k > nme and i'm not sorry

Another for Radiohead apart from Creep & Just, I'm not all that familiar with their material but Yorke's voice is has always been a real turnoff and stopped me from getting properly get into them.

 

Off the top of my head, Slipknot & Hurts are two groups I've never got the fuss for (and what different styles they are!).

About 80% what Radiohead have done is average. The other 20% is good enough to place them among the greats.

I dont understand what your first statement means. What is LADINDIE? And what does "Less the more alternative side we are all into collectively" mean?

 

Perhaps expand on the opening post to give us an indication of the sort of acts you mean.

of Montreal are for the most part (to these ears) awful.

Florence and the Machine

 

This would probably be one of mine. I do like Cosmic Love, but generally I don't enjoy her voice.

 

i'm assuming it's her voice you guys don't like as I'd say she's an excellent songwriter and epworth's production is always manifique

Hurts are mainly TERRIBLE

Queen are another band. They only have like FOUR SONGS I'd choose to listen to.

Radiohead for me as well. So incredibly dull most of it.

Radiohead are amazing!

 

And Oasis have some incredible incredible songs as well. I can't however fathom how Kings Of Leon even have one person who'd want to buy their songs (with the exceptions of Use Somebody, Pyro and Fans). URGH.

Blatant bloody hipster-ism!!!!

 

Arcade Fukkin Fire get my vote.

Enough with the Radiohead hate!

 

Everything from The Bends through Kid A is just amazing (especially Kid A) and the subsequent albums all have their moments even if none of them are quite as perfect as what came before.
