I was going to say Danny Wilson, at least one other poster likes them though: Danny Wilson

I will rep for Sigur Rós.
The band that I like a lot that has some outright hate posts directed at them is the Ocean Blue.

Cake are pretty universally derided here, right? I really like Fashion Nugget a lot, but I don't need anything else by them.
I started a Cake thread in 2011. Don't really listen to them much anymore, but they were the most important band in the world to me when I was a teenager.

I tend to a very lonely thread on the Dutch band Nits, whom I love unreservedly.

Ryan Power. The great unheralded prog-pop genius of our time, and I don't think I've seen him mentioned here once.

The entire Kerri Chandler thread is about 80 percent single-post revives by me.

Just had a quick spin through 'Slap!' - yeah, lots of it has not aged well at all. This one track though still sounds great, as long as you skip over the bits where they are singing / talkinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S3enZlLLNM

i have never stopped playing the first two Doves albums since they came out and sometimes i wonder if anyone still plays them at all. i mean people might have liked them when they came out but they feel kinda forgotten. i never get tired of them.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 4 April 2018 20:35 (six years ago) link
Some Cities is a fantastic record, scott. I will rep pretty hard for that one.

i never got into that one as much. i've never even heard their fourth album. those first two though...

I'm the same, Scott, still rate those first two Doves albums highly and pretty much fell off with the third which I found quite bland. Recently, I listened to the fourth album to see if I'd missed anything and hadn't really. I like the production on those first two LP's a lot.

Revolution by Chumbawamba is an absolute classic anarcho-punk single but I'm not a big fan of their later stuff. I still have a soft spot for the Anarchy album but that's probably because I was 17 when it came out.

Mew are a competitor for my favourite extant rock band but I don't think more than three or four people care about them here.

lots of duds in the c/d thread
lots of hate in various stereo lab threads

for the record I fucking love Chumbawamba all the way up to the Un album and sporadically after that

Kenrick Lamar, Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, New Order. all great music that ILM hates for some reason.

I like(d) that one Thievery Corp album, but ILM shamed me out of listening to them any further.

I can't stand High Llama or any Stereolab from Dots and Loops onward, mostly I guess because I love the Neu! rip-off stuff so much

a lot of the 50's era seems, I don't know, taken for granted?There are 4-5 threads on the Everly Brothers, but rarely are these top page.maybe there isn't much new to say, but I'm still blown away every time I listen to them or Little Richard or Buddy Holly etc

High Llamas seemed pretentious to me. There's a word ILM hates

I'm not sure if most ppl (including/especially myself) really have an adequate vocabulary for talking about '50s music, without it turning into just a recitation of facts, historical notes, etc. There's something sui generis about that era which makes it distinct from most of the rest of rock/pop/etc. I could be totally wrong.
