Artists/Groups you cant stand ?
we've got threads for FAVs...why not a thread for those that you cant stand ? The ones that you get up and change the station , rather than listen to them ?
I'll start.
Bruce Springsteen
Rush
Yes
Thin Lizzy
Ambrosia (some YES clone)
Captain Beyond
Frank Zappa
Genisis/Phil Collins
Dixi-land - anything
You are welcome to disagree, but let's keep it civil. Please add your AGYCS entries.
And he had me fooled for years

Don't dislike much music, but, lots of music I won't listen to. Have to admit to one -arNtist- I have disdian for: kenny (barf) G. I can't stand that phony....only because I'm forced by circumstance sometimes to listen to the shit he.. ..eh.. records.(i won't even use the word "plays")
Kenny G coming from ceiling mounts = :barf: right on Longs Drugs floor.

But I hear those old guys are coming back again!
Just kidding, I am not a fan of Rap - but I'll be honest, I was sitting in the CRV at the bank today while Emma ran in and got the money and James Brown, Livin' In America came on. I did kick on the subwoofer and crank it up - just like all the kids are doin' these days ... I mean, it was boom boom boom, and - Could god y'all! - It was JAMES BROWN!
the more I like your style.:cheers:
P.S. Even though we don't see eye to eye.:argue:
You guys are not really putting effort into this
Hey here's an idea - instead of slamming some of Rock's legends (can't say I agree with a lot of the dislikes here), you guys should try to dislike artists who totally lack talent, taste or both. I mean, let's highlight some of people who are truly worthy of running to the stereo to turn it off.
In that vein, these are some of the "artists" who'll get me off the couch as if it was on fire:
Laurie Anderson - wtf ? is that singing or some kind of Tibetan sheep mating call ?
Yoko Ono - she's also pretty good at making sounds not normally associated with humans
Philip Glass Ensemble - from allmusic.com - "others hear it as numbingly repetitive and devoid of variety in its simplicity". It makes me want to wretch like a cat with a hairball...
John Tesh - Isn't one Yanni enough ?
I'll be damned if I'm going to see artists like Steely Dan, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd or Frank Marino bashed when there are so many more TRULY deserving "artists" out there.
Get real guys - and get some taste....
