Progressive Boink

[Randy Jones]

plus they don't really play as a band anymore... i saw them live 6ish years ago and it was basically just five guys playing a vaguely similar song on the same surface about 20 feet from each other. i wouldn't say it's the worst $75 i've ever spent, but it's certainly not on the list of the best.

[Illinois Smith]

Do Dave and Tim Reynolds still play their solo shows every once in a while? I enjoy those infinitey more than any group efforts I listened to.

I have gotten behind but I swore a solemn oath

soul asylum (cryin thread spillover / reminder)

They are pretty okay

semisonic

The usual unremarkable band that has one hit and then disappears

slayer

I have no interest in this

s...did we already do stone temple pilots

Sort of, since it kind of kicked off the thread, but I don't think anyone actually asked about it. Anyway I obviously really like them but like the Chili Peppers I find myself listening to their ballad and mid-tempo stuff more often than the harder rock (not that that isn't fun too). Which is another reason I never went for Velvet Revolver.

guns and roses also

oh hey speaking of

In their era, they were certainly better than fucking Whitesnake and Ratt. But in general I'm not big on '80s rock plus their singles have been played to death.

Kid Koala

Eh as indicated earlier pure turntablism isn't really my thing

Dj Yoda

See above

Django Reinhardt

I can appreciate it but it's not the sort of thing I would choose to listen to

The Squirrel Nut Zippers

I had a roommate who listened to a lot of the modern swing bands like this. For reasons I can't explain, none of it bothers me and I can even like some of it. Though if we're going down this road, I'd just as soon it be the Cherry Poppin' Daddies.

The Skatalites

This is not my scene I do not own a bong

Gogol Bordello

I was about to give you shit for making me listen to a "Gypsy punk band" but it's actually kind of interesting. Not the sort of thing I would listen to, but at least it's different.

Mahala Raï Banda

This is more traditional and less interesting

Vic Ruggiero

You are just typing random groups of consonants and vowels now aren't you

Anyway most of this isn't that great

Andrew Bird

I guess I don't hate it, I just don't like it very much

Madeleine Peyroux

bleh

Holly Golightly

I don't like any part of this

The Moldy peaches

Goddamn you shits can't sing stop opening your mouths and go die in a ditch

[Bill]

I think that catches me up

btw do you guys (other than Illinois) listen to anything other than rock just wondering

It seems like we've covered a rather narrow spectrum
