I tried pretty hard to "get" pretty much the entire Animal Collective discography, but I think I just don't like them that much.

Trout Mask Replica is alright, but I think that, if anything, Frank Zappa was doing the TMR thing WAY BETTER than Beefheart and BEFORE Beefheart jumped on that bandwagon, so I don't see why TMR is such a fucking holy cow.

I like OK Computer. So I guess I am the second one.
And the thing about TMR is that it rocks even harder than Zappa's work. It's more, shall I say, enjoyable. That's not to say Zappa wasn't awesome and enjoyable too, 'cause Freak Out! is almost as good as TMR.

😲 Exile on Main St. sucks? That one is the best album out of the ones you mentioned!

I really don't understand the Rolling Stones in general. Yeah, they had a good guitarist, and fairly consistant drummer, some good ideas, etc..

But for the most part, it all sounds the same 🧱 They had some lucky hits, like Gimme Shelter & Sympathy For The Devil (both songs which influenced Metric, which is weird cause they're one of my favourite bands)

But Exile is just 2 discs of nothingness 😐 It's this guy who's not even hitting every third note, singing fairly bland lyrics over some sort of noises of grooves the band made.

Just average. 50/100 :?

2 discs of nothingness? You call "Tumbling Dice", which must be one of THE greatest songs ever, "nothingness"? And it's not like that's the only great thing on the whole album.

What is the point of disliking the music? I can see some of the appeal on first listen for most albums right now :?

I have to agree in some parts here. I have rummaged through a lot of music this year and a lot I have found good. I think I have found what I like and what I don't; but that isn't to say I won't keep looking. But from an initial listen, if it doesn't grab me, I kinda don't bother.

Also if were doing this: I think that every band within the hair metal scene should of been banned from ever making music, that scene was a cancer on popular music and it's a good thing Metallica and Nirvana (the two bands I most credit with destroying it) operated when they did.

Oh c'mon, you have to admit that the cheesiness is still immensely entertaining, even if the music itself possesses zero artistic merit.

Also, I'll second whoever said Funeral.

Generally most things by The Smiths. I like a couple of songs and The Queen is Dead is okay but I mostly find them dull and irritating.

Tried plenty of times with: Funeral (worth it, gone from hating it to loving it), Daydream Nation (disappointed the first time, still don't like it as much as I'd want to, but it's alright), Soft Bulletin (still don't think it's great but I do love some of the songs that I didn't initially).
Also hip hop in general I guess... Also worth it

Same. Especially that beginning which was so freaking slow. But I still like it, and included it on my chart.

Yeh... Who's Next is 4 stars from me, but I doubt it will ever be any higher.
