Music that everyone else loves but you just don't

Like the thread title says, there's some music that everyone else seems to love but I don't.
I don't have their albums, I switch stations if I hear it, my eyes glaze over when yet another thread starts up about how great the remaster of the remastered tapes begins...get a grip I wanna yell it's elevator muzak! :p

Who's on your list then?

Here's some of mine:

Eagles (Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...run's a country mile to get away)
DSOTM
ACDC
Dianna Krall
The Boss (but if he's in a backing band then that's OK(think Warren Zevon) )
Madonna
All Boy Bands
All Girl Bands
ABBA
The Stones...basically everything
Nickleback
Fleetwood Mac (everything since P.Green left)
Adele
The twenty thousand clones of Aretha Franklin
Johnny Winter
Grateful Dead
Lots and lots of Neil Young
U2
Steely Dan all albums except CDTE
The Doors
Led Zep after Houses of the Holy

There's more but that's a start.

I think growing up listening to Grand Funk Railroad ruined me for heavy metal music....nothing compares I'm afraid to Mark, Don and Mel.

......

Yep, I know there's a lot of elevator muzak a lot of Mall muzak in there but ...hey that's where this stuff tends to end up or on baby boomer FM stations.

Now don't get angry, don't get cranky if your favourite music appears in someone's list...just chill and write your own. This is just a thread for people who mightn't like what everybody else likes. Some harmless fun if you like.

You could of course put an alternative to your disliked band/singer/musician in brackets. Even though I didn't, feel free to do so yourself.

Cheers :D

Ha ha! Some great replys guys and no aggro either which is great.
Yeah it's all subjective isn't it and I'm not gonna pay out someone for likeing Dianna Krall or The Stones or Barry Manilow or that woman they make the horse jokes about...each to his own.

I'm just glad to see i'm not the only one who dont like a lot of old mainstream music...yeah I like GFR but it's an occasional thing, the kind you chuck on your system when yer kicking back and a few cold beers are hitting the spot and the handbrakes either away or she's in a good mood! Ya know what I mean.

But most other times I like to keep exploring and someone said above ...internet radio has been a blessing hasn't it, you canjust tune in to the most obscure music being played by stations you've never heard of and it opens your eyes up your ears actually but you know what I mean.

Last time i did a speaker audition in a shop the young dude pulled out DSOTM and I just rolled my eyes and told him to put the cd I'd brought along on...he was gobsmacked by the sound and the production values: The music your wondering? An obscure East London Jazz/acid/Nu/beat/soul/house grouping with fantastic production values...now that's what i'm chasing all the time...something new. Can be hard to find but is doubly pleasurable when found.

Keep it going guys.

I don't own an Elton John album or a beach boys one but i like that Van Halen guys California girls...go figure...sheeze!

almost all popular new music including rock, alternative and especially hip hop, rap

+1 to that for me, with the addition of indie, popular Country music, and free jazz.

Can't stand these icons: Grateful Dead, Leonard Cohen, Frank Sinatra, Radiohead, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis from Bitches Brew on, and Frank Zappa (except for Hot Rats).

I understand a lot of entries and of course don't agree with many but that's just how music is. What I do not understand is how you cannot like music from an entire country!? To say you don't like any music from Australia is a bit extreme. I have music from 2 Aussie artists(The Waifs & John Butler Trio) and they don't sound anything similar to each other.
