They're talented but you're just sick of listening to them.

How good they really were is debatable but I really don't like listening to Nirvana any more.

I don't like listening to them either.  Cobain's suicide and the money-grubbing fallout between the band and Courtney Love turned me off.

I couldn't hear a song and tell you which band it came from, except for maybe Alabama (80's) or the Gypsy Kings.

Agree with all, though I'll keep the J. Geils Band on if it's their pre-MTV stuff (Must of Got Lost, Whammer Jammer, etc.).

Tom Petty.  But I don't like Tom Petty, so that probably isn't the right answer. 

Metallica.  See Tom Petty reference above. 

AC/DC.  Ok, I like AC/DC, but I only hear like 3-5 of their songs, all the time.

We have an ongoing bet here. Anyone who can drive from any point A to any point B without hearing AC/DC wins.

Not a problem. I listen to either the George Carlin channel, straight-ahead jazz, or the Sixties. I wouldn't know AC/DC if the battery blew up.  :shucks:

We listen to a fairly new station that plays old country, lots of stuff from the 70's and before with a little from the early 80's.

H5 for recognizing the group and the album!

It was years before people realized they were semi-parody Glam (and probably a big influence on the creation of Spinal Tap).

N.B.: I every now and then use the "whistle" open to FOTR for my cell ringtone :)
