And I've tried, I really have. So much of the new British "post-punk" (?) wave seems to have either lost its edge or never had it to begin with.
I can't get into Sonic Youth and people act like it's blasphemy. I've tried!

I would've said Yo La Tengo years ago on the basis of the "that's it?" reaction I had when I first heard them while getting into that sort of thing as a teenager. Then they grew on me in a way that was unmistakably tied to getting older. I even deemed them "perfect cooking music" in a fit of self-conscious thirtysomethingness. After recently attending a Hannukah show where a member of Wilco sat in for most of the set (I'd been to two others which were better but all three were way too long, not even including the opener and comedian), I think their fundamental problem is they're uncanny, and I don't mean aesthetically. I have never had a harder time placing a band on the cool/lame spectrum because they are both and neither. It means that I have seen Ira Kaplan play what I recognize is a perfectly fine noise freakout guitar solo while distracted by the sense that he is catering to people who have otherwise hardly seen anyone play guitar like that and will be easily impressed. They seem nice and I'd feel kind of sad if I knew they read this post.
@Luc At Tomorrow Sheer Mag 100%
@bbqspaghetti901 Sonic Youth is one of the bands I forgot to put on my don't like list
@the ultimate snackrifice Yo La Tengo is a band I sometimes think maybe I should go revisit, then don't. Maybe this will be the year?
Jawbreaker, Oasis, Pavement, Wilco
@the ultimate snackrifice this is so listenable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYF4wbyrNyY
Parquet courts are making art! Even their mistakes are at least interesting to me.
Do people whine about egg punk outside of oversaturated city centers? If I still lived in Montana or Dekalb, IL and saw an egg punk band, then I would love it! In the other direction, I do not appreciate hardcore--seemingly a result of not being exposed to this genre which primarily is practiced in major cities.
Not really controversial, but do not get sweeping promises.
