Albums/groups you are supposed to like but don't

Joan Baez
The Mothers

for you rolling stones ??? try "Get your Ya-Yas out" This live album will change your mind.
I have big problems with 100% Roger Water's Floyd, too.
 
Wellllllll, what it really comes down to is taste. I have seen and heard many groups that were supposed to be great and weren't IMO, and I've been a fan of others I thought were great but people hated.

I was in the music business in the late 60s and throughout the 70s working at Columbia and then Atlantic Records and I've seen and heard almost everyone during that time. Living in NYC had its privileges as everyone came to play in NYC and it was also great that there was reciprocity between record labels so I got to see and hear music from all the labels not just the one I worked for. It also didn't hurt that I reviewed music and concerts for several small independent music rags.

While I disagree with many of the opinions regarding many of the groups/acts listed, it's your right to pick and choose what music you like.
 
I'm in the Beatles camp as well. I don't have a single album, tried like hell to get into Revolver and Sgt. Pepper...but no dice. I know what they mean to the world of Rock 'N Roll and they should always stand at the top of Rock's pantheon, but I just don't dig 'em.
 
I understand the antimosity with certain mega-popular acts. Blame it on radio. I still like The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, but haven't heard them in a while. And when I do want to hear them, all I need do is tune my radio to any number of classic rock format stations that have played the same setlist for 20-40 years.

Its why I avoid radio anymore.

Amen to that brother! That album kicks major ass!!

WTF does anybody get out of that whiney Dave Mathews? At least he could try to look like a rock star. Looks more like a cop I think.

Although talented at least, I never really got Metallica.

AXhole Rose forces Guns and Roses to suck........

U2, Journey, Foreigner, B. Segar sucks :butt1: (too many too list)
 
What about 99% of the "popular" music shoved down our throats by the industry in the last 10 years....at least. NEVER LIKED A F'ING OUNCE OF IT!!! Is America really full of this many yuppies!!!! I know all the women out there love recent pop music...but where has the voice of the males in this country gone. You know, the real ones... Its a sad state, the PUSSIFICATION of the male in this country. Gone country? Not to say you cant find good stuff today...its just that none of it's being played. I'll name some of the specific turds I'm talking about. In addition to every boy band, teeny idol, and gangsta rap, let me give a shout out to Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Blink 182, Creed, and every other rock wanna-be. Like every dumbass kid who learns a few power chords suddenly rocks. These are the ones that hurt the most. These are the ones supposedly taking over rock for a newer generation...and they have all gotten plenty of radio play over the years...and they have all FAILED MISERABLY. I think its directly related to these "musicians" having no serious musical background today...but what do they care, the public is biting.

I keep seeing this referred to all the time. Who's shoving anything down your throat, or anyone else's for that matter? I know for a fact nothing gets in mine that I don't let in.

The radio stations, the awards ceremonies, all other forms of public recognition, advertising, etc. Believe me, I try to get as far away from it as I can, but you just cant when its promoted everywhere on the TV and radio...2 of the biggest forms of entertainment. I dont know what I'd do without the internet.
 
I believe what Sugardawg is referring to is the state of pop music culture, and the musical literacy of the average American (the literacy of taste and discernment) on the whole seems to be going downhill steadily. Of course maybe every generation says the same thing about the up and comers (wishful thinking).
 
I have never understood the popularity of Van Morrison, Bruce Springstien and Bob Dylan as singers. All three write good songs and then ruin them by singing them.
 
Peter Gabriel. I think he's very talented, and based on my other tastes, I should really like PG, but he's just never done anything for me.
