I like when fans of bands mentioned in threads like these get offended when their favorite bands are listed. Settle down people!

Why do you like that? I sort of do too. It's pretty funny!

It's hilarious. Shows an insecurity of sorts in some people.

"They don't like my band…Is there something wrong with me or my taste?"

It's more disbelief that people don't have taste :D

Not so sure about that. Most that I've met have told me they can't stand him or they became sick of him. I think it's other generations that have attempted to glorify him.

My selections:
Dave Matthews Band
Travis
Interpol
American Idol as a whole

I can. And I even LIKE some of his songs (the incredibly nasty, bitter ones: Idiot Wind, I Don't Believe You, Positively 4th Street, and Donâ??t Think Twice.)

He's unintelligible. A lot of baby boomers think he's god. He's released as many bad albums as good ones. You can't dance to him. Sometimes rhyming nonsense is mistaken for genius ("A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall.") Every other baby boomer musician kisses his ass/covers him (I mean, he willingly participated in a "30th Anniversary Concert" for himself.) He's inspired a lot of bad singer/songwriters. He's overrated. The Traveling Wilburys. He's inscrutable (To some people, listening to "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" must seem like reading "War & Peace.") He insists upon himself.

Need I go on?

I would enjoy their live show if it was one of those select preformances when they got pelted with bags of urine.

After wasting the last 20 minutes of my time.. we do realize don't we that the average of all opinions on this thread lead you back to the exact same opinion you had before you read all these posts. To each their own… I guess it really is true.
