Which artists do you just not get?


I love folk. I love rock n roll. I love jazz, classical, C&W, blues and bluegrass.

At the risk of being labeled a troglodyte, a philestine, or worse, I've never been able to listen to Bob Dylan without getting a headache. Reminds me of a cat and a chalk board. Same goes for The Grateful Dead. Maybe I wasn't doing the right drugs or something.

Who else has the courage to admit to disliking music that vast portions of the population seems to go gag-ga over?

Rule number 1, Don't get personal or call other posters names because they just dissed your favorite artist.

Rule number 2, keep it civil.

Rule number 3 - HAVE FUN!

I am glad I only wasted $3 for a Radiohead CD. The rest I traded CDR's for.

What about Trading CDR's? Why not start a thread relating to it. I have over 300CD's from Trading Music and it has saved me alot!

Are there any idea's?We would have to send each other list through private Emails for it to work!

Opera for sure. I really cannot see what there is to listening to something I need a program to tell me what is being said. I can appreciate the range which some of the singers can hit, but I cannot see anything on it besides that. Most C&W I do not like either and the syuff that is out today is R&R Country. I could appreciate Hank Williams that was Country to me.

FOr Rock I have not come to understand much of Radiohead ,but I have just started to listen to it.The Dead I really do not see much in,but there are a few songs I can appreciate. Never got into the whole Dead scene though ,guess it just went right over my head without stopping to say hey Dude!

Dave Matthews has a few good tunes like "don't drink the water", but the rest go nowhere to me.

The ENYA thing is really stupid to me! Sounds like Mumbles and a woman having an orgasm on drugs! Maybe 1 song I can tolerate. The Cranberries remind me of Enya , but at least they have a voice with words. Kinda having an Orgasm with words.

Some of this stuff I will still try to listen to the stuff with the exception of Opera.

I could make a whole list, but I will stop banging the drum!
Celine Dion-Yeah,I was stupid enough to get TITanic and 2 others I think because of a remark from a friend,but I only spent like $2-$3 each for them.

KORN and Hansons are a few other worthless CD's I have.

Matthew Sweet I do not much from!

There are others that ake up room in my collection!
