You know what I hate more than this thread…..posting photo's of cats with lame comments on them! :mad: Just what is it with that?
radiohead comes to mind.. everything thats wrong with rock and roll.. a band that manages to suck all the fun out of rock and roll… why don't they listen to some chuck berry/ac dc/rolling stones and try again? last time i checked rock and roll was supposed to be fun and about sex, drugs and rock and roll partying….
Yes. They've been repeatedly making the same album since 1980.

Then again, rednecks are the only people who see them as gods and their opinion really doesn't matter.

this is why these threads are pointless and just where are the "unpopular" bands that bickering indie elitists think are gods?

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Modest Mouse
SUPERCHUNK
The Decemberists
New Pronographers
etc.

What i notice is interesting, is that most of the bands listed in this thread were once staples on radio and there is a definite lack of newer artists. i suspect that if radio were still one of the primary ways in which to listen to music, that several of the highly touted "indie" bands would pop up on peoples lists.
