Don't lump Wilco in with the rest of those bands please

Wilco >>>>>>> LCD, Cut Copy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Strokes, The Killers , Muse, Interpol

Well, if we're gonna do this again...

LCD Soundsystem > Wilco > "Hot Fuss" Killers > Cut Copy > Early Muse >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Everything else by The Killers > Later Muse > The Strokes > Interpol > and well we're bringing them up, Mumord & Songs and Foster the People

I find a lot of the later bands above pretty bland and "safe", but not really detestable. I mean, I listened to Sigh No More, it was a'ight. Didn't really do much for me, but it was by no means bad, but I really don't see the big fuss about it.

I would have to agree that Mumford and Sons and Foster the People are the two most baffling pieces of shit I have come across in recent memory. The former has zero appeal to me (and I've heard the whole album, to my chagrin) and the latter, though I've only heard their single, seems like an obvious, fragile shell of '90s indie rock to me. However, both have managed to get the attention of several of my friends, some of who listen largely to metal, others to hip-hop, others to dancehall shit, etc... wtf is going on.

And I've suggested similar stuff to them (following are actual conversations) e.g. "you like Mumford and Sons? you should check out the Pogues and Violent Femmes, I think you would like them a lot." "oh, I know that 'Blister in the Sun' song [most of them think the melody of 'Gone Daddy Gone' is originally Gnarls Barkley stuff], but thanks." e.g. "You like 'All the Other Kids,' here, check out 'Gold Sounds'" "meh, it's alright, not as catchy though" WTF IS GOING ON

Maybe they are considered "Safe" artists by the many? If the others artists were considered "Safe" maybe the many would throw words like "catchy" around them?

Vampire Weekend, The Black keys, Mumford & Sons, Foster The People, etc...

All good bands (mostly the first), that happen to get radioplay 😜

I'm slightly confused on what this topic is about though, so excuse me if that wasn't what you were asking 🤔

As I was driving out to get some early dinner (whilst packing for the big move to the country tomorrow [no internet for a while]), I heard that "instant-classic" band Foster The People. Now, I can see they have some talent and their songs ain't all bad but I probably won't go out to buy their album, see them at a concert or suggest others listen to them.

In saying this as a brief example, there are many new bands that get the attention of the general populis but then don't seem all too appealing to me. Another that springs to mind is Mumford and Sons (described in a 2010 year review as "The New Proclaimers.") I missed the boat on them 18 months back but many people I speak to love them and think they are amazing.

Needed to rant but thought others might have examples of new 2000 to now bands that they just don't get the appeal.
