Don't ask me how, but somehow I've managed to get to age of 39 without EVER having listened to any Radiohead (except Creep) or My Bloody Valentine (except You Made Me Realise). I know that I should have heard them ,and there's probably an alt-rock law that makes it compulsory to know their entire repetoire inside out, but I don't.
Anyone else got any similar inexplicable omissions from their musical experience? |

Yeah, but I don't mean bands you wouldn't want to listen to, I mean bands that you know are in your musical sphere of interest but you've just never actually listened to them.

Radiohead for me too apart from Creep.
I've never heard anything by Cat Power. I'm sure there are loads more I'll think of. |

I have not listened much of Blonde Redhead.
But that could be because what I have heard is, in my humble opinion, shit, due to painfully irritating vocals. Similar situation with Mudhoney, but again, that was a voluntary decision not to pursue. |

Foodbrain
Shinki Chen Frumious Bandersnatch All these have been reissued and no longer cost four-figure amounts, yet I have not pursued them despite my years of curiosity and the probability of enjoyment. Mudhoney has 2 songs I like, that's about it. I saw them once in 1989, and was underwhelmed. For my Stooges/MC5 derivative late 80s/early 90s acts, I'll take Thee Hypnotics. |

Yeah, Mudhoney never did it for me either. Nor Green River, Tad, or other SubPop late 80s-early 90s bands, aside from Nirvana. L7 was okay, though.
I'd like some Thee Hypnotics, though. I've heard praise. I've heard (as in on the radio) but never given serious listen to the Yardbirds. I just can't get into another 60s blues-based rock guitar band, even if they were supposedly great.

Never heard a single thing by Bad Brains. Not sure I want to.

I'm not at all familiar with Frank Zappa.
