I don't now if there's music I don't "get". There's lots that just doesn't click with me, or that I don't see the hype about though, of course.

I suppose there's music that I find it difficult to understand how anyone finds redeeming features in, right enough. Power metal. UB40. But I also understand that lots of people will find it difficult to see any positives in the music I make, or in bands I love like Sunn 0))) and Whitehouse.
That's the spirit.
I'm more baffled by what I once had high opinions of and how I've progressed.

Years ago, I thought Down and Crowbar were garbage and wouldn't bother listening to anything having to do with wizards or electric nouns. Nor, did I think I would like electronica (the techno sort), in any fashion.
When Nile's "Ithyphallic" came out, I hated the album. It took being trapped in a car, listening to it for 4 hours, to get it to click. There was too much happening to dissect and really dive into until I could predict it.
Praise the Sunn.

Is there anything else you gents don't get?
I know Bulb swings by the BKP forums, from time to time. I'd rather he not find this thread to be a Periphery "getting it" fight and more of a discussion about music that you can't quite figure out, in general.

I don't understand the appeal of Avenged Sevenfold, either.

Totally different; but I don't get Jack White whatsoever...

The guy is the sloppiest player ever. His fans pull out the "he plays with soul" argument, but that is total BS. There's so many guitarists out there who play with 1000 times more "soul" than him and manage to not sound like a 10 year old into a 10 watt solid state.

Sorry for the complete off topic post  :lol:

I rather like the sloppy players. It sounds confident and real, to me.
Thanks for the input, though- and you're right on topic.
Praise the Sunn.
