unlistenable garbage.

I'll just go with Chris here. Sometimes, Björk just makes something terrible.

Other than that, some of Aphex Twin's music is too much noise, even for me.

I also can't tolerate most grindcore or whatever it is people call it these days.

to make one lovely sweeping generalization, for me it's probably anything by bands with those hilariously pretentious meaningless junk names like "Malign the Week" or "Solitary Letterbox on The Burning plains" or anything else that's basically codewords for "My daddy didn't give me a high enough limit on my credit cards so I'm passively rebelling by wearing extremely tight trousers and being a colossal pretentious ponce"

Fortune into Gratitude by Six Turns Left was a really bad album.

And what's wrong with the mars volta you mothersmurfers.

Pretty much Cedric's voice being ear-shattering. I have all of their albums but can only handle him in small doses. I can listen to "Relationship of Command" every single day though and not grow remotely tired of that.

Eric can we at least both agree that DMKA's post is terrible?

we can.

Owl City. If I were dictator of the world I would make it illegal to use that much auto-tune, punishable by life imprisonment or, if I were feeling particularly spiteful, death. I can take it when it's used sparingly (Cat Power) or actually enhances songs (Kanye West) but anyone who uses it that much has no artistic taste whatsoever and has no business making records.

Even though everybody slates them now, here is a thread from before they were 'mainstream' with everyone gushing over how good they are. Proof, if any more were needed, that EoFF is full of shameless hipsters (which is funny considering the OP's signature).

I agree with DK about the pretentious bands with dumb names. I was at a festival and thought 'Glamour of the Kill' was actually somebody making a satirical statement.

I'm comfortable with who I am.

It's funny because almost none of those who posted in that thread is bashing Owl City in this thread.

Naturally, seeing as I was replying to The Man's post individually.

Why? How is insufferable whining from a man who has zero vocal talent and can't carry a tune in a bucket, droning on in either nonsensical lyrics or whining about not measuring up to a prospective mate, not unlistenable garbage?

I seriously can't think of one popular musical act out there that's worse than Radiohead. I would rather listen to Skrillex than Radiohead. I would rather listen to Yoko Ono's "Kiss Kiss Kiss" on a twenty four hour loop than have to sit through a single play of any of the tracks on "Kid A" ever again in my life.

Yes, they're that terrible, and I will never understand their popularity.

Nah, you were saying "everyone slates them now" and that everyone were gushing over how good they were before. I'm pretty sure The Man isn't everyone.

[Jowy]

Have you listened to anything else they've done aside from Kid A? Curious is all.

[Sephex]

Worst. Band. Ever.

Especially "Arrogance."

Björk can be a genius, but some of her music is just unlistenable. I think she's trying too hard sometimes to set herself from the rest, and the result is nothing but loud noise. A song like "Pluto" is completely pointless, and the album "Volta" is just terrible. "Medulla" is interesting, but unlistenable.

I like Medulla. :O

This has outcasted me at parties, but I smurfin hate Ben Folds I HATE HIS WHITEY WHITE BOY VOICE AND I WANT TO TACKLE HIM AND BEAT HIM UP

I dunno man, I've been seeing Owl City crop up in threads about bad music a lot in recent years. Thanks for the heads up though, I'll be sure to run all my posts through the Mirage-Fact-Check-o-Matic^TM android app in future, just in case people think I'm an astroturfer or something.
