You couldn't be more wrong. My 2 favourite bands are Guns N Roses and Queen to begin with. Never even heard of The Weekend. Let alone heard their music.
Well that's a start mate - and we all have to start somewhere. You are on the right track. Should try Led Zeppelin

I am well aware of Led Zeppelin. I love most rock.

Someone who likes good old classic rock instantly goes up a notch in my book. Not this indie, hipster, beardie bollicks though, I mean good old fashioned rock like Zep, AC/DC.

What don't you like about them?

Great band - although a little "samey" I grant you.

Going for something more delicate, have you ever listened to Nick Drake?
 
Yeah we have - but you know people love a good generalisation about our weather. To be fair, we are conditioned to our climate and I couldn't cope in a hot one . It can't be healthy for you lot with that British pasty skin living in such extreme conditions
It's not the actual temperature that is the difference I noticed most. The hours of natural sunlight is the big one.

Also a sunny 18 degree day in London felt like the same as a sunny 26 degree Melbourne day for some reason. Also meant the year I got there the laughable heatwave of 26-30 degrees actually was just as unbearable as Australian 36-42 degree heatwaves.

I'm too much of a dumb campaigner to know the science behind it but generally the numbers in Northern Europe felt hotter than they do in Australia. Maybe being closer to the North Pole than Australia is to the South Pole? I dunno. Maybe it's the smog and population. Anyone know?
 
Bok Party are pretty mediocre. If that's your definition of good rock then you might be better off staying with the mainstream.

In my humblest of opinions
I was actually tagging bok_party to add to this discussion.

But having said that I would much rather listen to Bloc party than ACDC. Personal preference and all. Especially Silent Alarm and Intimacy.

Very samey. And when the only rock station on the radio plays the same songs over and over again its very grating. I find most aussie rock horrible due to this reason.

Nick Drake is not for me.

Never worth discussing when it comes to great bands because they're good but not great but really like quite a few TV on the Radio songs.
 
Same theory applies for people wearing glasses when they don't need them.

The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side!

Man: (From inside a bathroom stall.) That's a right triangle, you idiot!

D'oh!
What he says is so much more wrong than the type of triangle and it bothers me.

I also like how apparently people who dont take an interest in politics are not as intelligent. Yet most of ACDCs followers are bogan....

Their first album is one of the best albums I've ever heard period. Their most recent two however leave a lot to be desired.

I despise everything about ACDC and Guns n Roses etc. but people are free to like them. Doesn't affect me in the slightest. They appeal to a market and good on them.

Seems like a bit of a contradiction..............

Unpopular opinion: Four is my second favourite Bloc Party album.

Unpopular indeed. I like some songs but I like intimacy and a weekend in the city a lot more

Definitely unpopular. Silent Alarm is one of the best debuts of the century, I'd have it third only to Funeral and Is This It? Unfortunately, everything since has been average or shit.
