What I really hate, however, are manufactured pop bands (don't we all?), anything too depressing and miserable (eg. Coldplay or Muse), anything unoriginal or middle-of-the-road, that shitty 'rock' music that is actually pop in disguise (Blink 182/Busted/Avril Lavigne), real screaming moshing music, country, real irritating repetitive dancey stuff, rap and R 'n' B (that's all pop these days too)....
Basically if it hasn't got a good, original tune or bass line, no thanks.
Bands I like (or have liked): BLUR
All Saints (they were good, espesh Black Coffee)
Travis (old stuff - The Man Who album in particular, nowadays they are just so shit and boring)
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
BADLY DRAWN BOY
Robbie Williams (old stuff, back in the days of Life Thru A Lens + I've Been Expecting You he was great, then he got too popular and too pop and suddenly...well, crap)
AQUALUNG
Oasis (older stuff, gone downhill now)
Catatonia
MOBY (he is a genius!!)
Pavement
ROYKSOPP
Some stuff by Kent (like If You Were Here)
Mum (I can't do the accents, sorry)
Ash
FEEDER
Queens of the Stone Age
The Crash
Some Eskobus + Sigur Ros stuff
R.E.M
Crowded House
Squeeze
MADNESS
Terrorvision
Garbage
Some Smashing Pumpkins stuff
Minuteman
Supergrass
Turin Brakes are quite cool
Plus I admit to liking the one Coldplay song - In My Place, which is just beautiful. :)
Thanks to Laura and Mari who have really helped me widen my music tastes! :) xxx
