The rules:

1. the CD must consist of ten tracks
2. you must generally dislike this band/artist’s body of work.
3. they don’t necessarily have to be your least favourite bands/artists

GO!

Here’s mine:

ELO: Mister Blue Sky
My Life Story: 12 reasons why I love her
Sleeper: Inbetweener
Kasabian: club foot
Snow Patrol: run

...

1.The Walkmen - The Rat*
2.Bloc Party - Pioneers
3.Coldplay - The Scientist
4.The Feeling - Fill My Little World
5.Stereophonics - Dakota
6.Hard-Fi - Tied Up Too Tight
7.Simply Red - Holding Back the Years
8.Kasabian - Empire
9.Travis - Last Train***
10.Razorlight - Don't Go Back to Dalston

*This is based on seeing the Walkmen live being one of the most agonisingly boring experiences of my life - I've never actually heard a full album by them, and nor would I probably.

** I don't dislike Coldplay so much as find them a little dull except here.

***Again more apathetic than actual dislike.


i nearly put your no.4 on there

again, i don't dislike travis or coldplay but i'm fairly indifferent towards them. i wouldn't switch the radio over if they came on.


^5 on number 4

though I'd probably pick 'Writing To Reach You' as the only decent Travis song.


"Last Train" is amazing

I actually quite like Driftwood too but "Last Train" is really weird and intense and unhinged and, though production-wise it sounds like a Travis song, in many ways it's quite unlike them.


:

1. Gold Mine Gutted - Bright Eyes
2. Tropicalia - Beck
3. Trains To Brazil - Guillemots
4. Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin
5. Can't Explain - The Who
6. Hang Me Up To Dry - Cold War Kids
7. The Passenger - Iggy Pop
8. I'm Not Okay (I Promise) - My Chemical Romance

'Mars Volta - any'??

That kinda misses the 'songs you like' bit of the thread off.


Mars VOlta - Any

how on earth does this work? "you could pick any of their songs and it would be one that i like, but i dont like them"?


ahhh i've just seen that

he says songs you like. But then i wouldn't dislike them if i liked on song.


is it that easy?

i can't think of a band i don't like but like one song because that would have been vampire weekend if i hadn't gotten to liking them because of Blake's Got A New Face.
