How often do you differ from the critics as far as Music is concerned

[Hornicane]

I pretty much don't listen to critics at all. I hate most of the indie shit the critics love, for instance, as I find it to be pretentious and boring. IE, Kings of Leon were nominated for god know how many Grammys. Hate them.

Kings of Leon aren't indie. They are signed to Sony Music ffs. That is like the complete antithesis of being indie.

I meant more the "indie rock" kind of sound.

*shrugs* That was just my understanding of it from reading things like Rolling Stone and Wikipedia. I don't listen to much of that sort of music so you've probably a better understanding of it than I do.

"Indie rock" is not a particular sound. It is a loose term used to describe independent bands who have predominantly rock-based influences, but that's about where the affiliation stops. Bands such as Cursive, Pinback, Minus the Bear, and Modest Mouse would all be considered "indie rock", but none of them sound anything like each other.
