:lol:

Clams has now become the master of the quick one liner answer. I think because it's harder to blame him then.

Anyway...

Are the Eagles too easy an answer?

Funny, as Pink Floyd and the Eagles would also make my list. Just not as high as U2.

Radiohead - the vocals just 100% kill it for me.

Honestly if Thom Yorke would just mute his microphone, I'd probably like a lot of it (I'm a big Mogwai fan, for instance)

I'll have to echo U2, Eagles and Radiohead and add Coldplay and Green Day.

Sublime. They weren't hugely popular (maybe a bit) but definitely drive me nucking futs.

Coldplay is a "rock" band for non music fans, they stopped bothering me a long time ago, I reuse to acknowledge they exist

Another vote for Coldplay. And the Eagles, but yeah, i think that's too easy.

After just seeing Dogstar call Kraftwerk the most important band since the Beatles, I had to come back and add them here. And while I'm at it, why shouldn't Depeche Mode and Duran Duran get their turns as the pinata?

Kraftwerk are very important to popular and electronic music, not western blues based music. Many of the people around here only like western blues based music.

You can recognize the importance of a musician and still dislike listening to them

Agreed. I saw them on the first day of last year's Bridge School Benefit. They were so boring and average that I skipped them on Sunday.

All the bands that are popular right now and won't be remembered in 6 weeks, just like the bands who were popular 6 weeks ago but are long forgotten and the ones 6 weeks before that and so one....

Not really if you don't listen to that type of music
