Which artists do you just not get?


I love folk. I love rock n roll. I love jazz, classical, C&W, blues and bluegrass.

At the risk of being labeled a troglodyte, a philestine, or worse, I've never been able to listen to Bob Dylan without getting a headache. Reminds me of a cat and a chalk board. Same goes for The Grateful Dead. Maybe I wasn't doing the right drugs or something.

Who else has the courage to admit to disliking music that vast portions of the population seems to go gag-ga over?

Rule number 1, Don't get personal or call other posters names because they just dissed your favorite artist.

Rule number 2, keep it civil.

Rule number 3 - HAVE FUN!

jcbach, I also chk the reviews on amazon but I find them more useful after listening to a few samples on mp3. I've filtered many nasty purchases at the music store by going this route.
Madonna. Horrible voice. Prince. Musical genuis? Bruce Springsteen. The boss of what?
Rush...Getty Lees voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me

Dave Matthews band...saw him live once and thought he played some songs twice they all sound so similar.
"Big Hat" country

Ethnically confused clowns like Eminem

Artificial boy and girl bands ('Nstink and Density's Child - spelling errors intentional)

Single name chick singers

Nirvana. Kurt Cobain especially. I don't get the mythic, cultish following he attained. His entire career was what - about 5 minutes?)
