Boris, Pavement, Bob Dylan (everything aside from Blonde on Blonde), Sunn 0))), Nickelback, Foo Fighters, Crystal Castles, Vampire Weekend, Lil Wayne, Radiohead, Burzum's synth shit...

It sucks to hear so much hate on modern SY, I still think The Eternal was quite a stellar release.

every band i listen to bores me sometimes, i have to be in the mood to listen to something or else i cant endure it for too long.. which is why i usually change my mind a lot about things music related after a second listen.

mazzy star is a good example... nearly every comment ive heard or read about them usually has to do with how dull they are.. which i can see, but if im in the mood i do really enjoy some of it. even the melvins.. i love some of their albums (especially houdini) but they also have albums that sound really boring to me.. and yet im still a huge fan.

there isnt too much i can think of that i find 100% boring though. most of the popular "rock" right now i guess would be some.. i find nickelback dreadful..

Aside from Process of Weeding Out, I always found Black Flag pretty boring (I LOVE Process, though; the drumming, in particular, is some of the best ever). I really don't like Greg Ginn's guitar playing, and he tried his hardest to make the songs interesting but they just always felt sluggish and off. I just never "got" them... My Bloody Valentine, besides a few songs.. YOU MADE ME REALIZE and FEED ME WITH YOUR KISS are masterpieces, for example, but most of their songs are simple little rock songs with lots of guitar layers. They really did get some really cool guitar noises and textures though.

I think "boring" amounts to "unappealing" on a personal level.

Really? I love the Melvins but many of their songs do deviate into one simple riff played over and over and over again, slowly as possible. I can see how that'd bore someone. Their early work, while still a bit sluggish, is creative as hell though. They always throw in all these little awesome changes out of nowhere in their songs. You kinda have to pay attention to their stuff, though, which I'm sure a lot of people don't really do. Most people I know treat pretty much all music as "background" music.

within a music piece you can find some sounds exciting but as a whole unappealingly boring.

I like Wilco. I completely love Yankee Foxtrot even if it is obvious to love that album. I think it's great. A lot of their other stuff I like a lot, but can see how people might get bored (a lot is same-ish)

I d'nt get Pavement thugh.

I don't like Pavement but I don't think they're boring besides Wowee Zowee and that last one they did.

I still dont get boring. How is WOWEE ZOWEE boring derek? It's their most ADD album. It's all over the place. I love TERROR TWILIGHT but most ppl don't and I guess I can see calling it boring since it's pretty 1-dimensional. But WZ is really far from boring. Maybe their most "adventurous" since WESTING.

anyway i wanted to say about YANKEE HOTEL is that I found it really boring on release day. I didn't fall in love with that album until like 2008. I watched I AM TRYING TO BREAK YR HEART in 2006 or so and thought the docu was great, but still didn't love the album. But in 08 it worked well as a sndtrk to my life. It made a lot of sense and felt right. I think sometimes you need the right frame of mind for somethign to click and make sense to you and then you pick out all these nuances that feel right to you.

I guess.

I find the melodies on Slanted and Enchanted interesting and the chord progressions really interest me. I haven't listened to Wowee Zowee since I was 14 but none of the songs engaged me at the time.

I absolutely adore Tigermilk and If You're Feeling Sinister and the Dog On Wheels EP.Everything else is just "ok" to me.
