No one but I in my circle of friends (which is totally composed of real people, not just cats and a plant named Inez) understands the genius of Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" or the music of Amon Duul II, Cecil Taylor, Patti Smith, or Captain Beefheart. I've tried to get my friends into Pixies, First Aid Kit, Tom Waits, and Aphex Twin, but so far only a few of the bands I've shown my people have got any attention from them (Neutral Milk Hotel, Nick Drake, Kings of Convenience, Miles Davis, etc.).
I honestly don't understand what is so offensive about Nick Drake that one must hide cd's of his work (especially something as sparse as Pink Moon). I can kind of understand what might put someone off of NMH, though (I LOO-OOOV-EE YOUUU JEEE-SUUSS CHRRR-IIIII-II-EYE-ST.......). Wilco also didn't do very well with my friends.
do you have a band nobody else likes?
