Sunday Girl's admission that she wasn't fond of Radiohead inspired me to think of the artists that I really don't like, although it seems like the rest of the population think they're almost as good as Elbow. For me, I never understood Morissey's appeal and I simply can't abide REM - far too whiny. BTW I do like Radiohead!

Ticky this is a great thread! And I totally agree with not liking R.E.M and I detest Morrisey and no one really understands why. I also don't like Bob Dylan bar a couple of his songs. Also don't get the appeal of Snow Patrol *hides* Sorry I know there are a few who like them on here Embarassed

Agreed on Snow Patrol...apart from Run I find them very dull.

I could never get The Fall

I want to like Kasabian but can never get into them.

I don't get The Fall either MT, mediocre songs really. And I think Mark E Smith is an arse Razz All I can say about Snow Patrol is that they've headlined quite a few festivals eg Oxygen last week and the Isle of Wight festival a couple of years ago (I think?) So why can't Elbow headline, that would be sublime!

I don't think anyone should like Snow Patrol, certainly not these days and particularly in comparison to Elbow! Wink

Heh, no love lost on Lightbody! Another Bob Dylan non-fan here. Same with PJ Harvey too.

I love all of R.E.M.'s early stuff on IRS, but think they lost their touch when they went to Warner.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It's just mine is right and yours is wrong. Wink

Anyway, I mostly dislike the 80s stuff, some gems but largely crap.

Bob Dylan is a biggie for me...just can't listen to his voice, though I know he's an amazing songwriter. Also not a big fan of the Rolling Stones - some early stuff is as good as rock gets, but not enough of their catalog interests me. I don't get a lot of the stuff that was mega-popular and quite influential in early-to-mid '90s British music - the Stone Roses, the Verve and Oasis completely passed me by. And Amy Winehouse isn't (wasn't) as good as everyone seems to think she is (was). She's got a voice but it isn't as earth-shattering as the hype in the press made it seem. Maybe I only get cranky about her because I'm old, but this type of music has been done before, and I'd rather listen to original, classic soul singers than to a meticulously crafted imposter.

Hey you can make your own unbiased choices you know.

At least give Entangled a listen. It's one of the Elboy's faves, and Newborn was based on it.

Fair enough. Ripples maybe? its from the same album and more Elbow-like than Entangled IMO.

So it seems you have small strands of Phil Collins holding your cerebrum in place.

Then you need to open your mind further. I cannot help you with this...

Is that a tiny sliver of Mike Rutherford I spot near your temple?
