What bands or solo artists do music journos and DJ's get very excited about that you don't?

I'll start:

Radiohead - Utter drivel

Pink Floyd - Drug addled drivel

The Doors - see above

Quite a lot of what is on 6Music.

Over to you.

As a student of the 90s, liking guitar bands like REM, Radiohead, Ash, Garbage, Muse, Manics, Marilyn Manson etc. I never liked and still don't like Elastica, Metallica and Nirvana.

Radiohead - Utter drivel.

Pink Floyd - We miss Sid, being rock stars is horrible, what am I going to do with all my money? What's that fluff in my belly button?

Guns N Roses. - The American Status Quo

Muse - Just don't get it.

Coldplay - Touchyfeelyickywickydoodums. Our CDs don't promote global warming.

Red Hot Chill Peppers. - Just say no.

The Manic Street Preachers - A shouty, angry Welshman is still just a shouty, angry Welshman even if he isn't pissed in the pub.

Mumford & Sons - Trustfund Wurzels. (copyright Charlie Brooker.)

Coldplay - Too nice, too bland, too boring, too formulaic, too middle-class, too commercial.

Jimi Hendrix - self-indulgent, tuneless rubbish

Bob Dylan - A clever songwriter, but a hopelessly poor singer and performer.

The Rolling Stones - Made half a dozen good songs in the 60s and 70s and have been cynically milking them for four decades.

Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Yes, Rush, and any other so called supergroup with their 10 minute pompous guitar solos on a hillside at dawn surrounded by dry ice and wearing a fking kaftan.

I wish nothing but death and destruction upon them all.

And U2. And UB40. And any group that ever had anything to do with Eric Clapton, the boring old goat. And Rick Wakeman. Plus everything the Rolling Stones ever did bar Let's Spend The Night Together which is 1 good song in 50 yrs of utter durge. And Genesis, Meatloaf, Motorhead, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Black Sabbath and all of that screaching down the mike in a faux American accent pretending to be a child of satan when in reality you were a hairsbreath away from being a plumber in Wolverhampton and your mum still lives in Tamworth. Or even a real American accent, so Guns and Roses can eff off too.

And probably 500 other groups who I have erased from my conciousness.

Coldplay - I can't think of anything more bland. A band for people who really don't like music.

First one to come into my head when I saw the thread was Muse.

Just don't get the hype for them at all.

I'm 50/50 on Muse. I hate their slower stuff with a passion, but some of the heavier songs like The Small Print and Hysteria are among my favourites.
