And the Eagles shouldn’t suck.
(That might have been harsh - truth is hard).

Conversely, Led Zeppelin sound exactly like their band name.

Arcade Fire sounds like they'd be a punk/hardcore/screamo band.

Grimes sounds like an underground UK hip hop/jungle/dancehall collective.

When I first heard of them in 2003 I assumed they were pop punk.

Pearl Jam sounds like they'd play super boring songs that go nowhere, aimed at people who have all but given up.

Similarly, Boards of Canada aren't even Canadian. Lying little shits.

Boredoms made a few different stylistic choices in their career, but never once did they sound like a Midwestern slowcore band, despite what their name might imply.

Please, it's Dizzee*. Put some respect on the bassline junkie's name.

Now I want a Tricky + Dizzee collab. Thanks a lot, Trag.

The Decemberists should be a seasonal oompah band with piano accordion played by senior citizens.
