Bands You're "Supposed" to Like, But Actually Suck

Go ahead. You'll have my blessings.

Yes, John you are correct!! But in the realm of J Crew All American 20-30-somethings Jimmy Buffett seems more appropriate.

i feel so much better now

So: pavement, stereolab, tortoise, suicide.

Although I'm really glad I never got the memo that we were supposed to like Jimmy Buffet.

She also plays the main role in the film I am supposed to like which I really hate. It is Dancer in the Dark. WTF. One of those films which tells me nothing about my life but a lot about the annoying morbidity of some human minds out there.

big points to ned for the only *real* right answer
