Bands that you're supposed to think are great, but who you don't like.

The Kinks.

There. I've said it.

[Burney]

The Kinks.

There. I've said it.

I only really discovered them later in life and still like them very much.

A bit too much lyrical whimsy at times, but still really very good.

Led Zep, Pink Floyd

Led Zep, Pink Floyd

When one gets older, one realises that Led Zeppelin were really very, very silly.

GFood, because I thought they were crap when i was young... forgot ELO as well

And of course, what we really want is good, sensible rock bands.

People who don't like Zeppelin tend to fall into two camps: complete ****s, and those with an axe to grind, such as the grumpy old **** I spoke to in a pub the other week who lectured me on Tom Waits and other unlistenable crap.

I don't like Pink Floyd after Syd. My main one is probably the Small Faces. I just don't get it at all.

Silly is fine. Taking yourselves painfully seriously while being utterly preposterous and thumping out souped-up blues numbers is a bit much, though.

They took themselves seriously (as did everyone else) because they were seriously ****ing good.

I don’t particularly like looking at them and would happily accept they may well have been a bunch of ****s (that said, Robert Plant these days seems a very nice chap). Its just inconvenient that the music is extraordinarily ****ing good. To write it off as souped up blues is ridiculous as anyone who has made it past Zep 2 will know.

Anyway….. each to their own and all that.

Led Zep, Pink Floyd

I can't get into Pink Floyd at all.

I love Led Zep though. but it's more of a studying the guitar sort of way.

I'm sure they were very talented... but not for me Clive
