I disagree, although I know what you are trying to say. If you take someone who has listened to fast paced metal their whole life, sit them down, and play something pretty mellow like Pink Floyd, I wouldn't be suprised if they find it boring.



Listening to this relaxes you because it gets you bored as ****.

I feel that the more of these threads there are, the less negativity there is in the real ones.

Who and the what what?

Ahhhh! I like it

I thought KoL and Oasis are two of your favorite bands?

AHHH! They're like the least boring band ever!

I find RATM boring in the sense that I find Metallica boring. Once you've heard one song, you've heard their discography.

Both bands have some very diverse offerings--I don't know where you are getting this idea from...

The only bands I want to claim as boring are ones that I have given a fair chance.

I listened to Merriweather Post Pavilion three times through and generally found it quite boring. Most of the songs were more than four minutes long and the instrumentation (or whatever you want to call it) was extremely repetitive and just doesn't really compare to most of the music I listen to. So I guess I'll call Animal Collective boring, but I've only ever listened to that one album.

I've also heard enough John Mayer and DMB via my friends to call that **** boring too. That stuff has it's appeal to some people, but I'm better off without it...

Of course it was an exaggeration. I like both bands, but I can't listen to them for long periods... or even medium periods...

I'm not sure anything--other than Limp Bizkit--pumps me up like Rage Against the Machine. Pretty good party music too...

Sonic Youth.

any bands with **** loads of breakdowns.

<Band name; I probably couldn't describe WHY they're boring if I tried, but I like to get under peoples skin for no reason without justifying it with a rational thought.>

Boring and absolutely atrocious are a bit different.

What a tremendous cunt.

Couldn't have said it better myself.*

*Note: That is not the devil horns. That is, in fact, sign language for "I love you."

Unless he did that intentionally, he is a ****ing idiot.

Not to support his shitty music, but to support his hand signal, I'm sure he did that on purpose, he is definitely not the kind of singer to put up devil horns.

On topic: I don't tend to find bands boring, some of my favorite artists would easily be considered incredibly boring by a lot of people, especially the slow acoustic ones.

Ditto, I listen to 60s pop music that they play on elevators.

Most of the girls in my class make me put up with his ****ing god awful music. Sometimes people bring CDs in to play in class and I usually have to deal with at least one of his songs.

Since I'm a nice person, I never bring any of my CDs into class. Everybody would complain about the lack of comprehensible lyrics.

Just wanted to chime in that Dream Theater are the biggest snoozefest this side of Satriani.

I guess i should be glad that i don't know who the **** he or she is :)

Radiohead.

I now hate you.
Dream Theater boring, you obviously can't see the all the work and technique going into this anything but boring music.

Do you find Fall Out Boy exciting?

No he is correct. Dream Theatre are indeed boring and who cares how good they are at wanking their instruments?

Wanking?
Dream Theater (At least to me) are anything but boring. Any band that makes it hard to air drum due to constant changing beats, and experiments with differrent sounds in songs is in no way boring.

Slipknot is also insanely boring.

Dave Matthews Band.

I generally agree, although I can usually find a few songs on each of their albums that appeal to me...

Please, what Dream Theater are doing is musical masturbation. It might be nice and fuzzy at first but you're not getting anything done. In the end, their music is soulless and technical, they should be making cars with this level of technical dedication, not songs.

And I've never listened to Fall Out Boy, actually. Care to suggest a good album?

Wow, I've never actually seen a serious Dream Theater defense before...

This should be interesting!

**** you is all I have to say.
Musical Masturbation? Who the **** are you to say someone's music is "soulless"?

And as far Fall Out Boy, **** them too, it was a joke, recommending a good Fall Out Boy album is impossible.

I like some Fall Out Boy.

Listening to Dream Theater feels like doing my math homework...

They're all just too good!

I love that feeling. Listening to Don Caballero or Zs or any minimalist works by Steve Reich always stirs up that wondrous feeling.

F*** you! :rofl:

Radiohead boring? golly gee willikers...

That whole 'soulless' wankery argument is bothersome in itself. Technical prowess is a good thing in music, you know, if you can use it...

Now that said Dream Theater have terrible terrible TERRIBLE production, so sparkly clean and polished; it sounds cheesy and ultimately very bothersome to a listener who doesn't want to hear a band who deny the existence of a bassist, have an overly compressed sound, etc... . Live, they're passable; their music is nothing special, but their actual recordings are overly bothersome.

Also, they rip so many prog artists off all of the time that they're not even original. Petrucci often boasts how many scales he knows; yet he still restricts himself to stealing riffs from King Crimson, Yes, and even Pink Floyd...
