Never got into The Replacements. Bruce Springsteen for people with extensive punk/garage/rock'n'roll collections

    I think I could go the rest of my life never listening to Talking Heads again. I used to really love them, too, but every algorithmic streaming service in every brewery or coffee shop has oversaturated them and I just don't care anymore.

    I think everyone is just pretending to like the Replacements.

    The Who post My Generation
    Shoegaze
    The Fall
    Pink Floyd (well, maybe not everyone here, but everyone elsewhere)

      Siouxsie and the Banshees
      Killing Joke
      Swans

      I’m with folks on the Replacements, except I’ll go to bat for “I Hate Music”, “Fuck School”, and “Gary’s Got a Boner”.

      Lol, these are song I legitimately like, but as I’m typing them out, I’m realizing it makes me sound like a fuckin twelve year old.

      Perfect summation.

        sixbigboys my way not crazy about the Minutemen either. Come to think of it most of the SST big dogs don’t do it for me

        elimaxxx The Who

        This is mine. Maybe it'll click one day.

        Also not into Queen at all.

          Mitch C. Queen is awful and the who always messes up really great songs with some goofy bullshit

            Speaking of The Who, here are two deep cuts that non-believers might appreciate (The Good's Gone and Heaven & Hell, the links won't play directly)

              Queef Richards Same, that was exactly who I had in mind as unflattering points of comparison. Even Faust with their unfortunate wanderings in Zappa territory have more/higher peaks in my opinion

              Of the hyped bands from the current wave of Australian rock'n'roll, I can't get into Stiff Richards, Civic and Private Function.

              Queen sucks

              All those new cartoony “oi” bands are not good

              Perfect summation.

              Replacements took a while for me to appreciate. Let It Be and Tim have some amazing tracks but they're kinda uneven as records. But songs such as "Favorite Thing", "Unsatisfied", "Seen Your Video", "Sixteen Blue", and the whole second side of Tim (exc. Lay it Down Clown) are all classics in my book. Also, Tommy Ramone's production on Tim didn't exactly help too.

              another unenthusiastic vote for the Minutemen & I never cared one way or the other about Sonic Youth or Husker Du
              the random classic rock band that irks me most is probably ELO
              and I really cant stand Van Morrison

                Randall Boris The Spider has the goofy dosage spot on, and the bass rips.
