To hell with the canon
Johnny C:
Nobody in this thread should be slamming anybody. This is a thread about taste and evaluation, and in instances where it's more than just "I don't like how it sounds" it gives you a place to say why you don't like something. And no, "it sucks" is not a valid reason.
IronOxide:
I don't like Neutral Milk Hotel. He could probably sing with his mouth closed.

Ohh no you won't. Not in this thread you won't. You will, at the most, offer a polite suggestion as to what a particular poster might listen to, in order to hopefully change his or her mind.
Such as the Harder They Come soundtrack.

Wow. I was joking, you know. :-P
And yesssss, Harder They Come soundtrack. Also there's Max Romeo's excellent "War Ina Babylon," Horace Andy's "Skylarking," The Upsetters' "Revolution Dub," the Trojan Records Dub collections... the list goes on. I could be here all night.
The reason why I'm kinda angry though is that I feel that the people here saying that they don't like reggae just simply don't understand what's going on there. I can kinda understand though, if they don't like the "slow" sound of it. Slow music isn't for everyone.
Johnny C:
It isn't the speed of it I don't like, it's the fact that it all comes across very same-y to my ears. Except Jr. Gong.

Granted, I've only heard them a couple of times but they've always felt... Creedish... to me.

Anathema were one of the pioneers of doom-death. But, like Paradise Lost, and countless other decent gothic metal bands, they succumbed to the 'mid-nineties disease' and turned into a mopey alt-rock act.
The Anathema I was talking about
Even their old stuff though isn't doomy enough for me. I kinda dig the Pink Floyd influence, but it doesn't do it for me the way albums like 'Gothic' and 'Turn Loose the Swans' do.
