How can you like the Smashing Pumpkins but hate MBV? Corgan spent the better part of his career ripping off Shields.

i don't really think joy division is a bad band, just can't get into them myself so in my eyes they qualify for this thread

Have you heard Unknown Pleasures? Most people start with Closer but I think Unknown Pleasures is a lot easier to get into.

'Disorder' is such a good introduction to the band.

Far behind was OKAY but not really that great. They were a bigger Pearl Jam rip off than Creed IMO. One of my old roomates had horrible taste in music and used to play this album constantly, this being nearly 10 years after these clowns became popular.
