Newage wikkawikka fan-base is actually pretty harmless. More pertinent to this discussion is that those DCD influenced darkwave bands (Projekt's marketing term, not mine). A few, like Sopor Aeternus and Elend have put out some good records, but there's a huge amount of abysmal out-of-tune goth girl w/ one-synth boyfriend material that files under this rubric.

Perhaps this is misguided, but I imagine that most Tom Petty fans are boring as fuck.

Yeah, if someone says to me Tom Petty is one of their fave artists...

It wasn't genuine indignation, dude.
Smashing Pumpkins, anyone?

The thread specifies good bands.

FWIW, I proudly rep for Petty. But I also know that every '89 white Dodge Caravan with faux-wood paneling came pre-equipped with a copy of Full Moon Fever.

"Never thought of Black Sabbath as one of these. Liking them almost seems to have nothing to do with taste. Like have you heard Black Sabbath. I mean duh. You like Black Sabbath."
OTM. This is the same reason that I didn't list Slayer.

I don't know anybody else that likes the kind of music I like, so I have nothing to contribute to this thread.

i guess deftones typify this for me, although i still have a hard time thinking of them as a "good band". I think in the UK their following is quite different from in the US.
