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!

Nearly everything played on the radio.

Pearl Jam anything after Ten. The lazy grunge movement so permeated everything about Eddie Vedder that he doesn't even try to sing--usually he doesn't even bother to open his mouth. I apparently got lazy too because I don't bother to even play his cds...

Norah Jones. Has anyone else noticed that she only has one song? It's the length of the whole album and for some reason has these short 3-5 second breaks of silence every 4 or 5 minutes. I predict a One-hit-wonder here.

To reveal my own hypocrisy though. I love albums like The Cure's Disintegration because it all sounds the same. I find this to be very relaxing on this particular album. It's odd how some things just click with some people. I for one am an ardent U2 fan; clearly others chiming in on this thread are not, but I bet that there are many artists that we both like. I wonder what makes some of us "get it" but not others?
