My friend told me last night he doesn't like Arcade Fire.

I told him that they're my favorite band of the last 5+ years hands down.

I don't think any band makes epic music like they do. It's like the Braveheart of music.

I think Funeral is definitely better than Neon Bible though.

I'm still not understanding the Jeremih hate. If you don't hate R&B in general, dude isn't bad.

I tend to think everything Anticon related is boring and pretentious. Though Jel's 2006 album was thoroughly enjoyable. Their fans are the worst part.

"I like Anticon because it's 'real' hip-hop."

Barf.

I agree completely about the Decemberists...  For me right now it's Grizzly Bear.  I've been trying to give Veckatimest a chance for the last month and a half, but I come away bored and unsatisfied each time. I respect them as musicians, but I just don't understand why they get such high praise.

Lately, La Roux.

I think they are just bad, period.

i think that arcade fire will actually be a great band, like i will be able to put them in line with the cure, morrissey and the beatles.

you know what i mean by Great Band is that they will last.

like the different between mr. right and mr. right now.

and on a thread just like this about a year ago, i put "girl talk" as my token hate band. now it's in my tops. i'm pretty sure that i won't start liking grizzly bear, other than that one song "the knife."

Dirty Projectors, Dirty Projectors, Dirty Projectors.  I really can't stand Bitte Orca. Most annoying thing I've heard all year. 

I'm also not into Animal Collective either. Maybe a song or two on each album, but not enough to make me think much of them. And at that they're still way better than Dirty Projectors. 

And I consider myself a Arcade Fire fan. I'm one of the few that thinks Neon Bible is better than Funeral.  

DIRTY PROJECTORS.  I really liked "Knotty Pine" with David Byrne, but that is literally it; the rest of their music sounds like cats fighting over disjointed mockery of chamber pop.

Tool.  The name says it all.

Death Cab For Cutie just fucking sucks.

Regina Spektor.

Funeral is far better than Neon Bible, I don't know who Jeremih is, and I don't know how to pronounce that name, and Veckatimest is great.

Hah, sounds like we really do need that "hate" button.

Uhh, Vampire Weekend anybody?

I didn't mean to offend Jeremih fans, as I honestly can say I haven't given his music a full chance. It was more of an example, and I know I've read some ill feelings for him here before. Perhaps Soulja Boy would've been a better example -- although I don't think he's as bad as people say. Well yeah he is, but he does make some catchy ass music.

Hate on!!!
