I think for a many of us at some point in time any band that doesn't rock becomes boring. This usually happens after you listen to them enough for the initial '' I've never heard this before blah blah blah'' wears off.

the white stripes were fucking boring when they followed the stooges in concert (2006).
Jack saved face by apologising to the crowd after their second song.

I will admit that should not have taken place..

dale_gribble 09.12.2009 04:31 PM

sigur ros seems boring to me, although i didn't get to listen to too much of their stuff cause it was putting me to sleep.

DeadDiscoDildo 09.12.2009 06:14 PM

In the right mood elliot smith is brilliant, and some of his song structures are perfect pop. Othertimes I want to stab him in the chest for being such a p...oh...wait.

Yeah they're boring. Fuck post-rock in general actually.

Ghastly City Sleep are a really good post-rock band though.

DeadDiscoDildo 09.12.2009 09:28 PM

sometimes a band get's really boring though if all they do is rock the same shit. Sometimes I want to see if they have talents to adapt to other styles. Like the falls' "living too late"

Satan 09.12.2009 09:35 PM

living too late is a bit different for them but it still sounds like the fall, which is good.

ac/dc are boring in that every song on every album is the same song. i still like em.

DeadDiscoDildo 09.12.2009 11:25 PM

^^yes, it was the most recent example.

I like bands that can rock hard, or sing ballads, or do any style really, but still maintain their grativas.

John Lennon was good at doing that. Paul was not.

TheDom 09.13.2009 12:15 AM

the fucking Red Hot Chili Peppers

Also: Neon Indian
Worst thing is they're probably soon going to be ultra hyped and we'll hear about them everywhere

The Lung 09.13.2009 03:50 PM

I've had the misfortune of seeing all these bands live either as support or at festivals and they were all boring as fuck especially the first 2 bastards

LOW
Silver mt Zion
Built to Spill
Pelican
Clutch
Explosions in the Sky
Le Volume Coubre
Fuck Buttons

are you out of your mind?

The Lung 09.13.2009 04:04 PM

Probably...

but low at 3am in barcelona, every song sounded the same, slow and boring

silver mt zion just dont get me started, they sing SO bad. Some shit about trainwrecks has permanently scared my brain, they just wouldn't shut up

Can agree with the rest, but LOWWW??????????? Nonono. Maybe not a good festival band though(???)

SuperCreep 09.13.2009 04:42 PM

Low is dreadful.

greedrex 09.13.2009 04:54 PM

i sat through a TV broadcast of a recent Bruce Springsteen festival gig and oh my god.
O mY FUCKING
GAWD
was he boring
and irritating.

atsonicpark 09.13.2009 05:32 PM

Low are boring. That's the whole point. Great band.

Sonic Youth Gossip 09.13.2009 09:35 PM

There's a time and place for low. I never really feel like listening to them because I'm never really in the mood for slow moody music.

That said I'd really like to see them live.

The Lung 09.14.2009 09:44 AM

I'd never listened to them before and my expectations were probably too high but anyway that show sucked and I doubt I'll ever bother checking them out unless I feel like killing myself

narlus 09.14.2009 07:47 PM

most of these opinions are boring.

SuperCreep 09.14.2009 08:35 PM

The Who.

I do like some of their pre-Tommy material, but even that's a chore for me these days. Tommy and everything after that is totally bland overblown cock rock of the worst order. Also, Pete Townshend is a pretty bad songwriter.
