Well take it like that: Amon Amarth are a bunch of dirty vikings punching those drums and screaming about setting fire to stuff with ballsy riffache going on. Isn't it more fun? It's part of the imagery, the feeling a band gives you. I don't care what they are objectively, calling them Vinking Metal is part of the fun. It's just music after all! :tup

"All great works are prepared in the desert, including the redemption of the world. The precursors, the followers, the Master Himself, all obeyed or have to obey one and the same law. Prophets, apostles, preachers, martyrs, pioneers of knowledge, inspired artists in every art, ordinary men and the Man-God, all pay tribute to loneliness, to the life of silence, to the night." - A.

Not sure how you can call Unia 'bland' though. It's so different from the straight power metal they'd been doing... Songs like Caleb, It Won't Fade, My Dream..., etc are far more progressive :-\

Pain of Salvation - i've tried many times to get into this band, but i guess it just won't happen.
A few good songs, mainly Foreword and Flame to the Moth.
I don't really like Daniel Gildenlöw's voice either, so it kinda adds to the problem.
Can understand why people like them though.

Gorillaz - Decent quality throughout most of the material, but i guess the problem i have is that they're very experimental and covers a lot of ground, but i only dig very few parts of it.
Stylo, Feel Good Inc. and Empire Ants are great.
The rest i don't care for THAT much to be honest, i've always found them to be quite hit or miss.

The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony is probably one of the most 'classic' songs i remember when being much younger, and it's easily one of the best pop/rock-songs i know.
But apart from it, i don't really care much for the other songs.
I listened some to a "Greatest hits" cd, but nothing really struck me as being that good.

Muse - A band i've never been able to 'get', and most likely never will.
Starlight is a great song, but i've never liked Matt Bellamy's vocals, and after hearing Uprising from the latest album, this band just screams 'boring disco-pop/rock' to me, and it isn't really music i would care to explore.

This is the examples i could think of, because this very rarely happens to me.
