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!

Kublakhan,

I didn't take your comments to mean you were arguing or debating! Not in the least. I don't know much about Coltrane, the man. My comment about "it's people I don't get" was meant to be a little tongue-in-cheek and to refer to people in general, not anyone specifically.

As for Coltrane, I know and love his music. All I know about him otherwise is that he had a heroin problem for quite a while, but that he became very spiritual later.

Opera, country, angst-ridden music. I listen to music for enjoyment, not to hear someone whine, cry, moan and groan about everything in life. That's probably why I like a lot of instrumental, rock or jazz; they spare me of the miseries.

You didn't care for Diane Schuur and Maynard Furgerson??!!! I don't get it. If you have set parameters concerning music..it would be out of most parameters... but for me... I loved it... and I don't know either one.

frank195, Diane Shure was awful, but that's just my opinion and I'm realistic to know that "one man's treasure is another man's trash." I really dig Maynard, but this was a mistake. Anyway, my Dad liked this CD and he knows more about music than I'll ever know.
