Artists/Groups you cant stand ?

Jefferson Airplane then on to Jefferson Starship did just about the same thing as FM.
The departure of Peter Green , Danny Kirwin and then the addition of others radically changed FM into something that I no longer cared for. Rather went from a guitar driven band to a female vocal driven one. Sell out ??

Even the same transformation happened (to a lesser degree) to Santana after 3 great albums. The Doors kinda went towards the softer route after success , getting away from the style that established them.

It seems there were alot of British bands that started playing "blues" and then migrated to pop/rock. Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin are two that come to mind. I like early Fleetwood Mac, but I also like the later incarnation. Same goes for Led Zeppelin. Jethro Tull's first album, the bluesy, jazzy, "This Was", was excellent. Their second was good, third, not bad and fourth, "Aqualung" is overated in my opinion.

JT's "Stand Up" is one of my DIDs. I tried "This Was" , but it just did not resonate with me. Agree mostly about "Aqualung"

I like almost any JT output until 1976/77 when they decided to play pop music. I really enjoy their 1972/73 flirts with Progressive Rock Thick As A Brick and A Passion Play.

Best regards!

Tull went definitively down the drain when Ian Anderson discovered the synthesizers. For further infos look at my new thread called "Earaches".

another that gets me running for the MUTE button is ..The Trashmen - "Surfin' Bird" , although they did a credible version of "Malaguena".

Just to wake you up: Michael Jackson !!!

This guy (gay?) appeared to be the archetypical US neurotic. Massively overrated and praised primarily for his huge output that was adressed redily for the mainstream masses, hence his sales numbers. Never cried any tears as he died about 10 years ago - in contrary to John Lennon, for instance.

OK Kay, we have another disagreement here.
You obviously enjoy MJ's musik much more than I do.

There are only 1 or 2 of his (and I can't name them right now) that I can stand .. and don't even mention his time with the jackson 5.

(but I damned near cried when Alvin Lee died )

Objection! There's not a single one that I can stand!

Fully agreed! He was one of the best guitarists ever! I prefer him over EC, for instance (but not over JP ).

Which Clapton ?? Early years were great. 461 Ocean Blvd. is still a fave around here, but after "tears in heaven" he pillowed out and now I just don't bother with him. fire is gone.

JP ?? well , at this stage in my musical voyage, I greatly prefer him to JH or even that noisy SRV. (in fact, I always did)

AL said once that he did not want to be a "rock star" , just wanted to play. Basic, but powerful.

[Kay Pirinha]

That's exactly how it should be done, isn't it?

Best regards!

<Edit> To EC: Yes, his work with John Mayall, Cream, Derek & the Dominos (fabulous double live album!), Blind Faith, and his early solo works were great. The decay commenced with 461, imho.

Best regards!

Another one: ASIA !!

Four superb musicians that squandered their talents and skills to blatant mainstram and commercialism. What a waste! What's the thrill in Heat of the Moment, for instance? This is just lukewarm!!

Best regards!

Read a story once about AL & TYA... they put out a 7 incher that was 45 on one side, same song, but at 33 on the other.

They were at a cafe in France and heard their own record playing, but it was the 33 side in a 45 jukebox. Said "nobody noticed that it was faster"

Fully agreed! He was one of the best guitarists ever! I prefer him over EC, for instance (but not over JP ).

I'd put Peter Green on at least JP's level or ...

The songs that appeal to me easily can be counted by the fingers of just one hand...
