These are 25 bands I am into. It was hard narrowing this down, but I thought this quite an interesting list per my tastes.
The idea is to vote for one, just one of these bands, that you have listened to music by that did not do it for you or did it for you the least from what you know. Preferably you will have listened to at least one full album by the act, or various music across various albums by the act, but that need not be the case. It is normal that some albums or tracks might do it more for you than others by these bands, but I don't wish it to be judged based just on the material you least like by an act (when you might already really like other material by the act), but preferably vote for an act that just did not appeal at all, or much, or least, across your listening of said band. Or approach it as best you can in regards to what you would think suits this poll. If voting for one that seemed not to your tastes, please mention the listened to by you material if you recall. I do hope for discussion element to polls I create, and like specificity as much as possible. If you don't want to play as requested and instead came here to complain about the poll, please just stay away. And maybe make your own awesome poll. I say this because I received such complaints before years ago for a topic with a somewhat similar theme. And if one is to say, "None of them", or some such sentiment, I would ask to be much more specific, explain your position, and go into details about what you have heard of these. |

I pretty much love most of these. I don't know Residents well enough to vote for them so of the rest I'll pick King Gizzard.

Voted Magma - however much I've tried, I just can't get into them.

Our tastes are very similar. I know all of these bands except one (Current 93; I may have heard one or two tracks in polls of you with playlist but don't remember) and I love almost all of them. Still it's kind of an easy choice as Comus sticks out as the band that is often recommended by people with whose taste I can relate, still up to now my attempts to get into them have failed. Not that enthusiastic on Kayo Dot either.

I like the debut the most by Magma, a grand double-album debut from 1970, but I could see it not being easy for many others (especially if they aren't into much jazz-rock). |

I'll go with the biggest band on this list, Radiohead. Tried, but Thom Yorke just ruins it for me. Could have gone with Magma too.
I like VDGG. Own a few of their records. King Grizzard, Black Midi and Soft Machine have a fair bit of stuff I like, that pushes me into I like them as a band. Most of these bands fall into the indifference category for me. |

Thanks for all the replies thus far.
I did not like Mr. Bungle until fairly recently. California is my preferred album. It was this song that won we over (still don't like all Bungle). |

I'd be easier to choose which ones I do like! So, I've decided to put the 👍 emoji next to the bands I like and the 🤮 emoji next to the ones I can't stand. There we go.
Amon Düül II Area 🤮 Art Zoyd Black Country, New Road black midi 👍 Can 🤮 Cardiacs Comus Current 93 Dead Can Dance Faust 🤮 Godspeed You! Black Emperor 👍 Henry Cow Kayo Dot King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard Magma 🤮 Mr. Bungle Radiohead 👍 The Residents Soft Machine 👍 Squid 👍 Swans Tangerine Dream 🤮 Univers Zero 🤮 Van der Graaf Generator 👍 |

^ I can think of some bands that, based on my tastes, would not just warrant a vomit emoji but also a really best not mentioned emoji which involved a substance that we as children we (in my locale) sung about that was floating down the gutter on a piece of bread and butter. Oh, such sweet memories.
Current 93 can be particularly Marmite (even for me). But who does not love Hitler as Kalki or Swastikas for Noddy? Seriously, I would not expect you to like that track and I chose Current 93 from a much longer list of my faves due to the negative reactions the band elicits from many. As for Swans, said this before, but your expressed dislike of the band is what really got me into them some years back as I wanted to find music that you might like from the band which got me exploring the band and finding lots of music I liked. I think I recall recommending to you The Burning World (1989) and White Light From the Mouth of Infinity (1991) as albums as well as some specific pieces those years ago as I felt the first few albums would not be the ones for you. It;s happened to me a few times that I researched and delved into the music of something to try to convince others of the value of an act and I ended up mostly convincing myself and falling for a band big-time due to the effort. Mind you, I'm not of the should be listened to in chronological order type, or even needs to be full albums, and sometimes I just need to find the right song or moment. |

Area (from what I heard, the vocals drove me up the wall, and ruined it for me)

Since you used the "ambient" descriptor, I'm going to have to assume what you heard was Zeit. If that's as far as you got, you don't know Tangerine Dream. Give Force Majeure a try. |

Yeah. I listened to Zeit, Rubycon and Stratosfear. I didn't like any of those.
EDIT: I tried listening to Le Parc as well. Except in that case, I couldn't finish the first track because of how bland it sounded. Edited by Hrychu - May 28 2024 at 14:42 |

I voted for Squid. Not that I really mind them, but to me they mostly just sound like an underwhelming imitation of more talented artists that came before.

Not that I would expect you to like it, I like ambient music, but I think that Ricochet is awesome. |
