He only likes a nice simple tune that he can tap his foot to and that has a pretty melody :)

Indeed, The White Stripes just sound very bland when their music is supposedly exciting.
Not for me thankyou!

I suspect there's less active disliking and more complete bamboozlement at what it is people see in it.

I love Tim and I love Len, but I just don't get Jeff Buckley at all, or his histrionic interpretation of 'Hallelujah'. I know the entire world loves him and he died for all our sins, but... meh.
Also, I can't stand The Flaming Lips. Granted, some of their early work is quite enjoyably chaotic, but mainly I hate Wayne Coyne's faux-naive, faux-profound, 'I speak the truth like a child' wide-eyed creepy guru-messiah schtick, which amounts to spouting dreadful American hippy platitudes in a whiny high voice with KY Jelly melting in his beard. Their hit singles over the last decade have musically been more akin to Coldplay, yet they receive tons of critical plaudits.
I REALLY don't get it.

That's just how i am with The Flaming Lips.
Love the earlier stuff like "Oh My Gaawwd It's......" but recent stuff just doesn't do it for me at all.

Just wondered!
You know what, Paradox .. I still haven't managed to get my hands on a copy, despite a trawl of my local second hand record shops. I'm dying to hear it. My mate the Kiss nut says it's the only pre 1990 album of theirs he doesn't own .. I might just go onto Amazon and get the credit card out ..
