Bit of an offshoot from the unpopular thread. What bands, that everyone else seems to adore, do you just not get the love for?
I've got a few. Heading the list are Arcade Fire and R.E.M. I actually like both bands - and would definitely see them live given the chance - but for me, neither are anything more than a good band. I've listened to Funeral a few times, and liked it, but, to steal a phrase from iYup, I don't feel the universe comes into perfect harmony whenever it is played. I liked The Suburbs, but nothing more. I don't know what it is. I just can't put my finger on it, and I've tried.
R.E.M. too. I've got the In Time best of, Automatic for the People and Accelerate. And again, I really like a good handful of their songs. But compared to the effusive love for them here, I don't look like a fan at all (perhaps that would change if I listened to Murmur, or Lifes Rich Pageant (love that missing apostrophe) or something else).
Okkervil River are probably another example. I really like A Girl in Port, but the two albums I've heard, Stage Names and Very Far, just haven't done much for me.
I think this thread should create some good discussion!
