    Wow, no wonder why I don't get along with any of you...

    I enjoy all the music you are listing as your favorite to hate.

    Oh well - I know what I like and I like what I know.

    as time goes by your tastes change and grow.a lot of what i listened to back in the day is off the radar now but hopefully the real stuff remains.

    Well - I actually liked the earliest (1st generation) Jefferson Starship album -"Blows Against the Empire" with David Crosby and Jerry Garcia and such - But that late-model pop-radio stuff ... ackk!!

    And - to keep on topic ...

    I hate that overproduced country music stuff - what I call
    Nasal Nashville - you know, with all the strings and stuff like a bad easy listening record.


    Now - I'll admit I have some Country Gentlemen, Johnny Cash, Dwight Yokum, Lyle Lovett and a few other country CDs on the shelf - but that really bad stuff - uhh-uhhhh!

    If I could pick the songs Yanni plays then he would be ok but the stuff that gets played is dribble!! Also he brings some talanted musicians on tour

    all that being said I have quit seeing him live because the bad choice in music but many years ago....

    Frank Sinatra, I don't like,and in our family we were told that we should like all Italian singers since we are Italians. I just didn't like his music no matter what he sang. Elvis,on the other hand could sing any kind of song and sing it well.

    I love Blues but hate Jazz
    I love Rock but hate Pop Rock
    I love Oldies but hate Big Band
    I love Disco but hate Techo
    I love R&B but hate Rap.

    when you paint in really broad strokes you can miss out on some of the finer details.jazz comes almost directly from the blues and most players who attempt to play it know the value of studying the blues.sometimes even a barry manilow,who should be at the top of the list in this thread,surrounds himself with first call session players,so sometimes real music slips through.sometimes i listen to a really bad record just to catch a tasty bass line or sax solo.try finding out who the players you like on an album are and look for them on other projects.it can lead to great places.
