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!

Goerge Gobel, but he's still my all time fave.

Who says that you have to get it to get it?
I'll second the following:
Dave Matthew's
Jazz
Kiss
Aerosmith
RAP- terrible, is that even a music?, what a profanation, and look at the kind of money all these "artists" making.Speaks a lot about current tastes in music.
I'm wondering if Rock'n'Roll evoked the same kind of feelings in the 60's and 70's.My guess is not- I grew up on classic rock, still listening to it today. It stood the test of time. Will see about N'Sync, Britney Spears, Dr. Dre and the likes in another 20 years.
Continuing the list:
Yes - never couldn't quite get it,too pretentious for me, but i do agree they are a great musicians. Love Genesis and Jethro Tull though.
Creed- what a nauseating creation, just like a syrup, only worse.
I wonder if this question shouldn't be: What bands are out there that just have no substance, but reviewers still have to try to justify their existance??? Maybe we try to read thing into people or bands that are just shallow and meaningless.

It's like calling crap 'art' and expecting others to agree.
Ya know Nrchy, Its kinda funny that you said that, there is an artist i was reading about a couple weeks ago who recently sold to the smithsonian a can filled with his own feces.
somehow managed to pass it off as art.

hehehhehehe
