I don't care for...


#1

Name famous musical artists that just don’t do it for you. I’ll go first:

Bob Not My Real Name Dylan
Elvis Presley
Wilco
Ryan Adams… obviously


#2

The Beatles
The Grateful Dead


#3

Most of the above but also Beyoncé and Phil Collins.

This was a hard one, there aren’t that many household names, and I’d argue that a lot of the acts mentioned here are only major in the context of this board. That’s why I didn’t say “Stone Temple Pilots” or “Any and All Ska music” it’s not like you’re being subjected to that stuff current day.

Wait wait wait…. Bon Jovi


#4

Is your real name @Monkey?


#5

Elvis Costello
Fleet Foxes
Pink Floyd


#6

Outside of a few songs, I don’t get The Rolling Stones.

Second The Grateful Dead.


#7

I didn’t like the Dead until I ate mushrooms on a beach by a bonfire.

Pearl Jam


#8

Led Zeppelin
Dave Matthews Band
(Most of) Gram Parsons


#9

Radiohead
Arctic monkeys
Metallica


#10

Grateful Dead
Paul Simon
Taylor Swift
Bruce Springsteen


#11

Stone Temple Pilots are so big for me. I’m broken :joy: But I agree on Phil Collins. I don’t get it.

for me:
Queen
Billy Joel
Metallica
Lady Gaga
KISS
Adele
Billie Eilish
(most of) Pearl Jam
insert here any indie band with some weird ironic name


#12

I can’t believe that no one else is as bent out of shape as me that we’re still being subjected to new radio singles by Bon Jovi.


#13

Elton John
Queen
Pink Floyd
Journey

I could list a bunch from this century, but I’m already getting a reputation for being an old curmudgeon.


#14

Dang, missed Arctic Monkeys - you are totally right. God knows I have tried.


#15

I forgot to mention my disdain for Bon Jovi.


#16

About Bon Jovi – Desmond Child seems to be behind every hit melody of the 70s and 80s. Compare the melody of “Livin’ on a Prayer” to the (oh so many) of versions of “Hide Your Heart” (Kiss, Molly Hatchet, Bonnie Tyler, etc.) that actually came out around the same time – this is how you make royalties (one of my friends made a playlist of this – it was hilarious).

#18

It’s not that. I didn’t list Bon Jovi because I don’t think they are almost universally adored. I guess I just looked at Monkey’s list and thought it was more of an “unpopular opinion” kind of thing.


#19

I also forgot to mention Tom Petty in my list.
