Artists you should (apparently) like but don't

[revolution saint]

So this is reserved for those acts that the "algorithm" thinks you should like but you really, really don't.  

The skip button was designed for the following:

Talking Heads

Foo Fighters

Red Hot Chilli Peppers

The Clash

Roxy Music

Nick Cave

Tom Waits

Mumford and Son

 

Obviously all subjective, no justifications needed but I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than hear "Road to nowhere" again.

The one YOUTUBE keeps putting in my "suggestions" is The Last Dinner Party.

[tdmickey3]

Oasis

I could never warm to Ferry’s voice so agree with that choice. I also thought that The Clash were highly overrated, but then I didn’t care for the whole Punk/New Wave thing as there was nothing new about it . It was all derivative and they all stole from the bands that they slagged off as being dinosaurs. I’ll give The Stranglers a pass though because although they ripped off The Doors they had a great sound.

Apart from a couple of albums I struggle with Radiohead. The same with Pink Floyd. Also struggled with all of the poodle haired American rock bands that were everywhere in the 8O’s.

Oh, and E.L.O. will forever grind my gears. Next Beatles my arse.

And Blur.

Could you and MiserableOldGit possibly swap accounts ?

Ditto. I love indie music, but I've never got the appeal. Liam's whiney voice and their persona's irritate me too.

The Beatles don't float my boat either.

Criminal to have the Clash in that list although so often you only here London Calling, Rock the Casbah or Should I Stay or Should I go played so would understand that more.

Nick Cave - sometimes brilliant often durgy

Talented, diverse, great characters, yep, and although some songs are amazing, I can't listen to an album without getting bored or irritated by weird sounds. Just not for me.

On that we agree. Floyd are phenomenal, the others not far behind.

Yeah for some reason I just don't like them and never have.

I did wonder if the title might be misleading but thought "musical acts whether a band or solo" might be a bit long.  Jackson Pollock is shite though.

Have you seen the bit where McCartney knocks up Get Back whilst waiting for Lennon to turn up to the studio?

[benjii]

Anything since about 2006.

[AlexLaw76]

Madness. Just dislike all of their stuff

Only watched first episode but is that in Get Back which is a different series but also excellent?

I have Wish You Were Here and Momentary Lapse of Reason but find most of it one paced, a bit druggy and soporific I was never into “pot” so that didn’t help. Dark Side of the Moon passed me by, probably because of the massive hype back in 1973, and I never really bothered with it after that. 

With Radiohead I loved The Bends and OK Computer but, for me, they lost the plot after that and I lost interest in them.

It would be a very boring world if we all liked the same thing, eh?

I've taken some time off from posting, but this got my goat. Radiohead, Pink Floyd, ELO and Blur. 

Fucking hell SOG.

I refer you to my post above.

I think you said that you were into Prog Rock? Perhaps if I told you I was into ELP, Yes & Genesis I might redeem myself?

My stepfather was into ELP and Yes, so they are 2 groups I will never listen to.

What is scary is that they used to be pushing the boundaries of rock music. That was now well over 50 years ago.
