Supposedly great albums you just can't get into

[sans culottes]

No way, dude. Revolver is marvelous. But to stay on topic: Blood on the Tracks. I find this so boring compared to Bob Dylan's mid-60's records. I've never been a big fan of Dylan's work post-Blonde on Blonde.

Also, NEVERMIND. Ugh. Nirvana's In Utero and MTV Unplugged albums were absolutely fantastic, but Nevermind was just mediocre. I cannot believe Nevermind is called one of the best albums of all time when Nirvana has done far better than it, twice.

Everything by Radiohead.

I've listened to OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows each at least 3 times through, and it's seriously so boring and I don't understand how anyone, much less everyone, can love it so much, or act like I killed their mother when I say I don't like it.

It's like the fucking Beatles, or chocolate chip cookies.

I think Radiohead is pretty good, but I don't see how they're as great as everyone says they are. OK Computer is a great album, but I wouldn't call it the best album ever - in fact, not even one of the best albums ever.

[Smell Memory]

Several Radiohead albums and Bob Dylan and numerous others that I can't remember now.

Most post-rock

I just find it quite boring.  I enjoy God is an Astronaut and Explosions in the Sky, but I really can't get into the genre as a whole.

The word "post-rock" is further proof that many musicians are fucktards who like to invent genres that don't make any sense.

It was coined by a music critic.

Something you should realize about music: most musicians don't categorize themselves the way we think of them as. It's the listeners and the critics that do it.

Also, while the term may not make a whole lot of sense (then again, many genres don't), the way the genre is defined does make sense, at least for some bands. Not sure about all of them, because I don't listen to a lot of it.

Really, it's everyone, critic, fan, or musician, who sort of put their heads together and coin stupid shit. But I just don't get the term post-rock. You see, punk and grunge were movements that only lasted a few years, so "post-punk" and "post-grunge" make sense, because they drew influence from a movement that died. The major movements in rock music, just plain old rock music, are 50's rock'n'roll and the various styles of the 60's. The term post-rock basically says "oh hi, rock and roll happened and now it's gone, here's what happens after it".

I don't get it

[Samus Aran]

Except post-rock doesn't actually mean "post rock." That's why I said the term doesn't make sense. But its definition (drawing from rock styles/instruments to make non-rock music) does for the most part fit the music.

I like Radiohead okay, but most of their work really isn't all that great. I do like In Rainbows, though.

"Strawberry Jam" by Animal Collective. I loved Merriweather Post Pavilion but I guess i'm just too damn mainstream to enjoy their more "abstract" shit. Whatever.

Ladyhawke's Debut album, while it had a couple good tracks (My Delirium and Oh My) was not that mindblowingly good as most fans would have you believe. She's probably in for a pretty nice long career though.

Strawberry Jam isn't even half as "abstract" as some of their other albums like Campfire Songs and Here Comes the Indian.  I quite enjoyed the album myself, but if you didn't that's fine.  To each his own I guess.

Strawberry Jam was as deep as I went into their repertoire. I listen primarily to electro/techno music so the deeper I went the less I enjoyed their older albums

Yeah uh it's not the best but I think it's really good. Still don't see how people can say it's one of the best though. It has maybe 5 songs that are good and the rest kind of bore me.
