What did the Phish fan say when he ran out of weed? "Dude.....this music sucks".
Charles

[ChrisBowsman]

[DeltaTango]

KISS, Grateful Dead. Neither band ever interested me.

 

[Russell L]

Rush. Jaco. Neil Young half the time.

I'm with you on Rush and Jaco, but I like Neil Young (although not all).
I'm also not into Tower of Power.

 

[sawzalot]

Of course. And thank goodness we all don’t like the same things because that would be really boring.

 

[awakefie]

Tom Petty. I just don't get it. I've been in a ton of bands and they all played Petty tunes. I never got the appeal. The band I'm currently in plays Mary Jane and Runnin' Down a Dream. Still don't get it.

Bob Dylan. Really? Don't get it. And I grew up in the 60s & 70s. Just never got his cynicism and always thought musically he was atrocious.

The Doors. Never got their music or appeal.

 

[Meaculpa]

Post malone

I've gotta be honest it's hard to think of too many artists I truly dislike. There are many that I dont love, but I really appreciate most all music. Except for rap and country. Cant stand those genres.

 

[TommyGunz]

Billie Eilish. I don't particularly care for the music, but what really bugs me is that they play it on the Rock stations.

I decided to play it as artists I truly can't understand the appeal of. I can understand differences of opinion but there's a few things out that just totally escape me.

 

[Spidey2112]

Hey! Me and Garth stand united (and have the same fashion sense in glasses, hair, and apparel) in support of Rush

Edit: and yes, I’m 62 and this same shirt was on my back in ‘76

My man.

 

[Spidey2112]

Check out the bassline in that song. It's really good!

Totally agree!

 

[Timmy Liam]

The clash-were ok I guess but I always thought they were way way overrated.

Beach boys. Yeah a scared cow to some. Great early surf, awful pop later on.

 

[REV]

Paul Gauguin

 

[pglaser01]

Bon Jovi.....just.....no. NO!!!!!!!!


Also Eric Clapton.....meh, no thanks at all

 

[The Thinker]

Let me think about that....

Hmmm...

 

[DSkellington]

Never met a person who likes it, but I don't get Yoko Ono's brand of music(?).

Yoko Ono doesn't get Yoko Ono's brand of 'music'.

 

[Son of Wobble]

I'll play.

Cool album.

I kind of like Yoko Ono's tracks on Milk & Honey... lol

There is obviously music that I don't care for as much - but usually I try to find something good in whatever I happen to be listening to even if it is something I wouldn't actively seek out.

20 years ago when I first started playing music - I couldn't stand anything that wasn't 60s/70s rock or blues, everything else I just didn't pay attention to and some stuff I actively resented. Thankfully I grew up relatively quickly and found that it is easy to get bored of just one type of music.

 

[design]

I don’t like any music, I just come here to complain.
but seriously....back the original question:

Percy Grainger.

I have tried...but, meh.

 

[DTRN]

Taylor Swift and Beyonce. How either of these marginally talented people became deities is beyond me.

One word...legs!
