To hell with the canon
Johnny C:
That counts too, Emilio!
Also everyone who likes music reviewing and discussion of the popular music canon should read Kill Your Idols, a book in which albums from Exile On Main St. to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot are ripped apart in essays by critics who hate the album, the artists involved, or both.

I agree, and this is basically what I was going to say about Led Zeppelin. I also just can't get into Pink Floyd. I find them dreadfully boring. Same with Broken Social Scene, for the most part.
The Hammered:
For me, it's usually that I don't have the time or money to check them all out (and I only started pretty recently). As a result, there is a lot of "canonical" music that I've never heard. But I'm working on it.
E. Spaceman:
What i posted in the 'interpol' thread is also valid here.
I prefer New Order to Joy Divison
Misereatur:
Where the hell is KJS? You need to help me defend Zeppelin dude! ZEPPELIN!
