Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding

Miles Davis, outside of his Kind of Blue collaboration for which he seems to get most of the credit, when it should be Bill Evans, does nothing for me.

Just one decent track, Springsville, a Gil Evans collaboration off Miles Ahead and that’s it.

As for the notorious Graceland, Paul Simon has consistently been one of the best songwriters in the world for decades, and Graceland was a brilliant return to form back in 1986, no matter the political points scoring nonsense that followed it’s release.

As good as Graceland was his 1990 Rhythm of the Saints might even be a better album, whilst the unjustly maligned Songs from the Capeman (1997) most definitely is.

I’d say it was the standout album of the 1990s.

Agreed, forgot about Duran Duran. My list wasn't meant to be comprehensive, just representative, but Duran Duran would have been a good inclusion. Never much cared for them either.

Anything Paul McCartney did or does after the Beatles. Most of the Beach Boys.

The only rap that I like is Eminem.  He is at the pinnacle of the genre, IMO.

I don't care for much of Country music, though some of it can be good.  Country flavor in rock music is quite good and there is plenty of it that I like a lot.

I'm getting more into jazz these days, too.  

Otherwise, I'm pretty much open to just about anything.  If I like it, I listen to it.  If I don't like it than I don't listen to it.  

I'm glad there is so much to choose from and that we all have our tastes, likes, and dislikes.  Like most anything, variety is the spice of life.

On a final note (no pun intended), if the music was very well recorded and produced and thus can deliver an excellent sonic quality, I am glad to listen to it, no matter the genre.  A great music system with a great SQ album playing through it is a very satisfying part of owning the music system.

Jeff Buckley!   Insufferable whining.
