Talking about the Hold Steady made me think about this. There are bands that I would never accuse of sucking but that on a personal level, I really don't care for. I mean Steely Dan and the Who are great bands, but I really don't like either. As another example, I really like Tom Waits but kind of understand when people don't.

I don't really like Radiohead.
Heresy, I know.
What can I say? I'm an iconoclast.

i've never been able to get into tool or the decemberists, and i've heard most of their stuff. individually some of their songs are enjoyable, but overall their albums have always bored the poop out of me. there are plenty others like pavement, flaming lips, mbv, sonic youth but i really haven't heard enough of their catalog to say

It qualifies you to have a beer or two on me.

I'm also much older than most of the rest of you are, so have been exposed to them much more than the rest of you -- disproportionately so, I might add.

I know, it just breaks my heart a little every time I hear it from you, Dana.
