I'm of the opinion that there aren't bands that I hate, just ones I haven't found the right time to like yet. Cynicism is in my nature, I'm not particularly kind about the bands I haven't learned to love yet but it doesn't mean that someday I won't take it all back. I didn't like The Strokes for a long time and look what happened there.
The thing that really bugs me about this band is the amount of hype and the seemingly religious fanaticism that people have with regard to them. For their fans a new album coming out is like the second coming of Christ for Christians, only it happens every couple of years rather than not at all. My brother is a huge fan, as are a lot of my friends, but I've never seen the appeal. He just whines a lot, the guitars sound moany and dull - which is especially annoying for me. I'm under the impression (cue the onslaught of fans) that they use single-coil equipped guitars so why then don't they have more jangly tunes? It's quite simply beyond me.
I'll probably be told how poor my choice of song is too. Bring it on Radiohead fans
