A few off the top of my head that I'm supposed to like but can't get into: 1. Bruce Springsteen. Really tried for decades but, I just can't get into him. 2. The Grateful Dead- see above. 3.

Brilliant fun watching these three discuss their dislike - or perhaps complete disdain - for five bands that others might think they should like. Simon sharpens the stake and strikes the first blow and that continues through much of the episode. But one of the original mantras when finding SoT was and is "Remember, we all hear things differently/" But still these types of episodes are incredibly enjoyable to watch (and, in some cases, rewatch). Thanks to Simon, Steven and Pete for throwing up the targets for inevitable volley of arrows. Cheers, gents!

Love the beer chat. Very good show.

Right! I agree! Talk about beer before talking about bands of suckage lol! Great show guys thank you! Simon - incredibly bold honesty rejecting the Stones, I disagree but I respect the whatever floats your boat philosophy to life and music! Bold opinion on Plant solo from Steven - agree a little but I do want to hear what Robert thinks is quality and yes I do not always agree but do often enough. The Led Z stuff he did was over the top good for me! Right Pete - the RHCP may be more of a Cali thing and I dig them but they are so much better than so much other popular music! I agree Simon somewhat about Queensryche - they have 3 great records to my mind all of which I found via SOT, but the others big meh not buying those!

I really should like Tool, but I don't really do...(and yet I'm listening to them right now...). They've got everything I like: the prog, the metal, the long songs, the cool drumming, etc...but there's something that just doesn't click for me. Cheers.

Great show guys. Pete Simon and Steven. To the chat I wasn't able to make it as had to get fresh air in the warm weather and to with few things had to go and do so in and out this day. So many I could name, Do like along the Stones Hendrix Queensryche. Got stuck on loving their material and music. Not everything we have of albums they did and such that don't do it. Why there is rankings. Fun to listen and watch and observe. TC

Great show. I always look forward to this show. I dig the foreign guys drinking beers and talking music is cool.

Great segment

This episode was like watching those elevator doors at the Overlook Hotel open up in slow-motion, fucking bloodbath, but still somehow a romping good time. 🍻

I've always referred to them as "Bands That I Know Are Good, But I Just Never Got into Them." 1. Bruce Springsteen 2. The Grateful Dead 3. Supertramp 4. Queen 5. ELO

Brilliant, such a laugh. I always look forward to these shows.

Great show 😄👍

Great topic gents! I have three: Thin Lizzy, U2 and Cream.

Great show again guys 🍻 .I found this hard - because I can usually find some tracks that I like from bands that I don't normally. I don't think there's any classic rock acts whose entire catalogue are absolute classics. I struggle a bit with Geddy Lee's voice .Jon Bon Jovi recently singing Always (Christ Almighty!).I like to think i can get into pretty much any style of music - from cheesy pop to classical, techno and metal - but I have to reserve a special mention for a band out with the SOT paradigm and that's Maroon 5 .I absolutely despise this band with all of my being more than any other band in my 51 years. Cheers! 🍻

This is a great topic. One of the fascinating things about music is how we all hear things differently. Even more fascinating is how over time a band may win us over. I’ll give my 5 bands I currently can’t stand but should love. And my 5 I couldn’t stand for a long time but persisted with and was won over by. Can’t stand 1.Scorpions 2.Journey 3.Radiohead 4.Pearl Jam 5.Fleetwood Mac Used to “not get” 1.Iron Maiden 2.Opeth 3.Frank Zappa 4.Testament 5.Spock’s Beard

Love this topic Gents 👍 for all my tastes I have tried and tried to "get" Bruce Springsteen, however I just cannot. That's the one that comes to mind for me instantly. I agree with the Stones by the way Simon. Don't mind the music but Jagger is bloody horrendous. Massively iconic, but not for me.

@@petebrown3715 Have to agree on all 3 there, not fans of them either. I laughed out loud at the end here where it turns out there's a Springsteen show coming up in a fortnight 🤣 I'll be watching as always regardless, but I can't see it changing my mind about the music of his lol. Must admit I thought Queensryche would be right up Uncle Simons street, that one surprised me a tad (love QR myself although I could do without hearing Silent Lucidity ever again - it is pretty awful for their standards but everyone was doing the ballad thing at one time I guess).

Steven, if you want to give Hendrix another shot, please check out "Little Wing" the live version from the Royal Albert Hall. I'd be curious to know, if you don't you like his ballads like "Angel" or "Castles Made of Sand" either, or is it just the wilder, noisier, more improvisitional stuff that you dislike? Since you mentioned that you used to play drums, Mitch Mitchell actually has some groovy parts throughout Jimi's catalogue, Idk if that could spark your interest in revisiting Jimi, but js.

Thanks for sharing your experience, thoughts, about art that just doesn’t agree with you. Love your honesty.

I agree with Simon on all his choices, but I have never heard of Pete's choices, I agree with Stephen on Robert Plant and The Black Crows.

GnR anyone? Great episode. Personally can't have Aerosmith either. My mates luv them.

Simon and Steven are killing me. I totally agree with Pete.

That was brilliant 👍 ❤️ SOT

Looking forward to this one guy's 😂

The problem with Hendrix is oversaturation with a limited catalog. Odds are good that you will get into him at some point and then be done with him. Same thing for Guns 'n Roses with me.

Somewhere in a vault are masters of isolated magma vocals...

Many thanks.

Steven I’m with you on Plant and Hendrix like bits of both but cant remember the last time i listened to either

Love episodes like this - some great contentious stuff. The only selection I’d really disagree with, as I do listen to them a fair amount, is Rammstein, but I enjoyed Pete, once more, dissecting them. Also, the clock behind Simon’s head creates an excellent beatific halo, providing an authority that extends beyond the potency he already possesses regarding the rock genres that SoT is known for.

Hahaha what a show ! Great stuff boys 👍

Was great fun watching you guys slaughter some bands that I love some that I hate! Excellent! 😂

Great idea, loved this. Hate is a bit strong, but for bands that leave me cold overall my picks would be: Kiss The Beatles The Doors Led Zepplin Foo Fighters I like some songs by the above but overall they leave me pretty cold

I'm not sure Pete wants to do the UK connection again. Man they are killing him :-)

I agree with you Pete about Rammstiens vocals not being good. I don't understand German but I enjoy Miguel Abuelo with Nada and I don't know Espanol but his singing is amazing!

I agree with Steven on Hendrix. Been listening to him since around '86. Can't do it. If I somehow feel the need to listen to Hendrix, I'll listen to Robin Trower. Never been a big Aerosmith guy dating back to '79 when I first heard "Toys in the Attic". I do like "Breaking the Girl". I do like Black Crows 2nd Album. Great Strat Sound! Magma...No.

There are two things that i tried to like sooooo many times, but i just couldn't: avocados and Jethro Tull. I really tried...but it didn't happen.

I dislike so many bands its ridiculous but nowadays if someone slags a band I like I just shrug my shoulders. Its all opinions. As long as theres a reason or two to explain the opinion rather than just "its shit" its all fair as far as im concerned nowadays. When I was young Id get precious about it but no one is forcing me to listen to music I dont like

I could easily make a 25 or more ranking list, but top 5 random for me: Thin Lizzy Whitesnake Scorpions Stevie Ray Vaughn Any and all grunge from the 90s and beyond. Then there's bands where a simple one CD greatest hits album is all I need: Kiss Led Zeppelin Van Halen Queen The Clash

Saw Heart on the Jupiters Darling tour and they rocked, very little from the 80’s ballad period, they were stripped down absolutely cranking it out , was quite shocked tbh

A great conversation. Music taste is so subjective and there is nothing right or wrong here. Like my rock friends can’t understand why I don’t like Iron Maiden, but to me it sounds like being on the horse track and listening to the horses galloping with someone screaming on top of that, but I absolutely love Bruce Dickinson solo records. All of them are amazing.

I love the stones and Hendrix but i can get why some may not totally get it..... But heart... heart whats not to like.

For me, it’s The Doors, Pink Floyd and U2

Not sure how many times I kept looking at my calendar thinking this was an April Fools episode. Must add, Plum Porter sounds delish! JT

Are we going to get Bands We Love ... But On Paper We Shouldn't? For e.g.: power metal is not my thing as a general rule. The thought of band + orchestra doesn't exactly thrill me. Yet I love Nightwish. (Mild trepidation re their forthcoming album. Hope it isn't 75 minutes long & there's no second disc of orchestral tone poem/soundtrack type stuff.)

Bizarre ! The only band I liked in the whole list was Queensryche, though Fish was mentioned 🤣🤣🤣

Rammstein is generic Hard Rock with a "unique" voice and some decent hooks or riffs. But their big success is totally based on a vaguely gross image, crazy videos and outrageous live shows. It's been the same shtick for 30 years now... Greetings from Germany!

Listening to a Mars volta album now or booking a painful and costly visit to the dentist?....hmmm...tues 9.30? Right-o, ill be there...

I get it that Steven does not get Gallagher & Hendrix - these were the artists that were my intro to rock - they were both blues guys from the late 60s. It is probably a generational thing - but both were great showmen - great improvisers - but both were of a time when the guitar was king.
