Sorry I should have been more specific... or rather the thread should have been titled "my time" (born in 1988).

i like several of these bands and hate several others... some really did their best work in the 80's but were good or ok since (metallica, U2). i don't think any stack up to radiohead in terms of consistent, sustained quality, innovation, longevity, etc.
The first time I saw them was lollapalooza two summers ago and we were discussing what we thought might be on their setlist and at one point my friend pretty much summed up my opinion on the group
"how can you decide what songs to play when you have some many good ones"

And I don't mind the depresso/emo nature of their music. I get into a lot of that genre (or sort of that genre I guess) just fine. And I really don't care about the fans, etc either. If the band was awesome then I would just say "band is awesome. Hate most of the fans."
I've often wondered if it's just the singer's voice that bugs the crap out of me and if I would like them better (or drool for them like so many others) if it was just a different voice in there. I'm generally okay with higher male voices even but that guy's voice is just awful to me. But I'm pretty sure I don't like the music itself either.
You seem very critical of the band, I'm guessing you are deep into heavy metal?
Just because it isn't your thing or you don't particularly like the cut of their jib, doesn't mean they are bad or you have to be hostile towards the idea that they are good, which they are, very very good at what they do.
