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!

First of all I like the rules Thanks

Grateful Dead

Kind of blue is really great an easy one to listen to. I like Jazz; I listened to Bitches brew many years ago and I did not get it. I have been meaning to give it another try.

Most Classical, its nice mind you I even recently bought this LP because a fellow at work said it was a masterwork and played it once. Good, but did not move my soul or start my engine. I like going to the symphony and some operas but to listen to at home noway!!

RAP!!!!!!!

disco!!!!!!

80's hair bands

Bob Seager

Country & western

Bluegrass

modern pop music and a lot of the older stuff too.

Opera. Or, maybe I just need to learn Italian. Actually, I don't like opera no matter what language it is in.

Sean, what the hell is wrong with you, man? I already love your brother and father.Miles Davis and John McLaughlin are the most important musicians in modern,let's say,jazz.Next thing I know you'll say that Paco De Lucia can't get flamenco right and that Dead Can Dance is nothing to write home about.I hate Kind Of Blue and some of McLaughlin's albums, by the way.Parker,Monk and Armstrong have no place in my collection.

Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart. I've heard isolated cuts that were incredibly musical, but never was able to connect with the contexts these artists created.
