Music that everyone else loves but you just don't

Like the thread title says, there's some music that everyone else seems to love but I don't.
I don't have their albums, I switch stations if I hear it, my eyes glaze over when yet another thread starts up about how great the remaster of the remastered tapes begins...get a grip I wanna yell it's elevator muzak! :p

Who's on your list then?

Here's some of mine:

Eagles (Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...run's a country mile to get away)
DSOTM
ACDC
Dianna Krall
The Boss (but if he's in a backing band then that's OK(think Warren Zevon) )
Madonna
All Boy Bands
All Girl Bands
ABBA
The Stones...basically everything
Nickleback
Fleetwood Mac (everything since P.Green left)
Adele
The twenty thousand clones of Aretha Franklin
Johnny Winter
Grateful Dead
Lots and lots of Neil Young
U2
Steely Dan all albums except CDTE
The Doors
Led Zep after Houses of the Holy

There's more but that's a start.

I think growing up listening to Grand Funk Railroad ruined me for heavy metal music....nothing compares I'm afraid to Mark, Don and Mel.

......

Yep, I know there's a lot of elevator muzak a lot of Mall muzak in there but ...hey that's where this stuff tends to end up or on baby boomer FM stations.

Now don't get angry, don't get cranky if your favourite music appears in someone's list...just chill and write your own. This is just a thread for people who mightn't like what everybody else likes. Some harmless fun if you like.

You could of course put an alternative to your disliked band/singer/musician in brackets. Even though I didn't, feel free to do so yourself.

Cheers :D

Since we're blaspheming, Clapton (great player, boring music), Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd. Keep being told I should like them but cant. Really dont get Floyd. I listen to utube quite a lot (type in "full concert" and a ton of stuff comes up. Tried listening to a PF concert the other day and gave up after 15 minutes.

Nodding my head at a lot of choices here and also noting that the majority of them are pretty long in the tooth.

Clapton is pretty boring isn't he but he's forgiven as he was the mastermind behind ' Concert for George' and that was a ripper!

Just tried some Winston Marsarlis(wrong spelling I know) for the first time, it's a live concert and I was somewhat underwhelmed by it all. Makes you not want to try the rest of an album when you pull it off after the first track.

Ragge; to my ears most of it sounds like a never ending loop of boom, pop, tch, tch. I also don't care for all those melancholy, flat singing female Brazilian Jazz vocalists.
To each his own, YMMV, etc.,etc..

My test is: have I ever bought an album? If so, do I continue to listen to it? On that score, your list coincides with mine. I would add Sinatra to that list (Tony Bennett is NOT I repeat NOT on the list) and the blues as a genre.
