Ha! I have a soft spot for them too. No idea why and I'm not given to guilty pleasures (the "guilty" part, not the "pleasure" part).

My love of Tool also catches me a lot of flak, especially from my dirtbag retro-rock friends.

I also really dig a defunct Vermont band called Invisible Jet. The singer sounds like an absolute dead ringer for Peter Gabriel. It's almost creepy. And the music is a mix of power-pop and quasi-prog rock with a very light touch. Not my usual fare and my girlfriend gives me endless shit for it, since just about everything else I listen to is heavy and uptempo. But something about it really grabs me.

yeh, you can add me to the mcr "parade" (har!) and i'm an "idiot" for green day. yes, tool, too. i still own dave matthews' band's first two albums and occasionally enjoy them. same for counting crows, duncan sheik and guster.

seriously, folks give you people crap for listening to yo la tengo or the replacements? like, omg, i get totes shit for liking cat power and husker du omg omg

I am such a willfull bastard, no one will fuck with me face to face regarding my opinion.

That said, I love Big Poo Generator. Check their free MP3s http://ear.trippy.org/music.html the hi-pitched songs about retards, food, and poo set to kiddy porn music will either bum you out or give your inner child a boner.

Gordon Lightfoot
Integrity
Eddie Money

Yo La Tengo.
Deerhoof.

Aye, the pond is where I pilfered 'The Obvious Identity' from, but at the time I posted it in the Sendspace thread I wasn't aware that there were any Cardiacs fans on EA apart from Adam CR.

I got to interview Tim & Kavus a year ago when they came to Glasgow. It remains one of the best days of my life. Really nice guys.

Aren't Chrome Hoof something to do with Silas, formerly known as Holmes?
Is there something you're not telling us????

I listened to a couple of Chrome Hoof songs on their MySpace page, and they were horrible. They do a nice line in sparkly costumes though.

Considering that my friends either listen to metal/power metal, the latest chili peppers/seether hit or no music at all, I don't have this problem. I don't know if that's good or bad.
