What is your least favorite music genre?

[isotopesope]

What's it called? I'd like to watch it as well

Oh duh, it's called "Hip Hop Evolution".

It's a ton of modern interviews and old footage. Amazing stuff. "The Get Down" is essentially a dramatic representation of those times.

Personally, I would watch "The Get Down" first.

Another killer old school hip hop film that is a must see is called "Wild Style". It's from the 80s. Netflix had it up a few years ago, but I don't think you can stream it any longer. I own it on VHS.

That's true....

In comparison to Johnny Mathis, Frankie Boy couldn't sing !

If you don't care for ol' blue eyes, that's quite alright.

But to say he couldn't sing, compared to anyone past or present, seems a bit much. Perhaps try his incredible "September of My Years" and hear what a lion in winter sounds like.

WTF are you talking about? you're already laying down ready to accept the wars the orange muppet is bringing onto us? i don't know about you, but between the war against his fascist cabinet and any wars coming onto our soil, I AM STANDING TO FIGHT TO MY DEATH.

Political, and not applicable.

Sorry, I'm afraid this rule isn't flexible.

Country and western. It isnt country or western music. Its just twangy rock.

Death Metal, Most of Rap, a whole bunch of country and any crap by CHER and her ilk.

True......

Frankie in his younger years could sing when in front of a swinging band with great skill and did fine until the early sixties but the smoking and drinking got to him, then Hollywood and the Rat Pack years gave him his reputation and loyal fans which kept him propped up in the limelight. I do understand Americas affection for bad boys, but in comparison Johnny Mathis could sing circles around him and that's why Frankie gravitated over to Hollywood. Compare Johnny's Twelfth of Never to any thing that Frankie ever sang. It's like comparing Micheal Jackson's She's Out of My Life to Steven Tyler's Walk This Way and I love Aerosmith. I have nothing but love for Frankie and his family, but if Johnny had the the same connections.......but that was the early sixties !

Rap opera, anyone?

 

[loopstick]

Like most here, I've never been a big rap guy...but last night I watched "Straight Outta Compton" and now feel like looking for a few classic gangsta LPs.

Last night I watched "Straight Outta Tee-Oh" and now feel like going to a Tim Hortons -

It's interesting to me how the same genres keep showing up here.

It's just the demographics of most aboard this ship, Robert.

You mean people with good taste?...

Boo hoo.

Boo hoo.

No bias on my part...just an educated guess.

Q

 

[valvenator]

In all honesty there is no genre that I totally hate, as I find something good in all music but at the bottom of the barrel for me
would be Rap, Opera and modern Country. I especially hate anything with pointless spoken word over a song, like some hip-hop.

 

[BobbyBluz]

I've tried, seriously now I truly have tried to but I can't even consider cRap to be music. A spoon in a running garbage disposal is more pleasing to me than cRap.

 

[Todd Dodds]

Techno. EDM.
I can't even watch a movie if there's a scene in a EDM venue. Well, that's not true, I'll just mute the movie and look at the girls.

You've really, truly tried? Uh-huh, ok... . Me, too, then.

 

[dodog]

Posters on AK must really think they're clever when they use "cRap."

 

[Mitkraft]

This seems like a thread designed for the sole purpose of insulting other's musical taste. If the responses stayed with stating their least favorite genre was then that would be another story, but it seems more like a platform for the responders to elaborate and bash said genre often in such a way that would insult those who disagree.

 

[RamblinE]

The older I get the more genres of music I find merit in. It's hard to say I really hate anything.

Except Christian rock which always comes off as a lowest common denominator church band. Musical skill? Need not apply. Good writing? Need not apply, all of the songs are all about the same thing. Christian rock is straight up put to shame by religious influenced folk/gospel/country/r&b.

I'd go as far as to say it's not music at all but rather a form of programing aimed at children and youth.
