Queen
Rush
Aerosmith
Most 70s rock
Hair Metal
Dream Theater and bands like it.
Mars Volta
I have friends into that stuff. Can’t stand it.
Liking music is one thing, knowing how to listen is a whole other world.
easy to see whats going on here…
I like some of Radiohead’s songs, but I never understood why so many are obsessed with them. By the time I was exposed to them, I was already familiar with Indie Rock, Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, etc. That and Yorke’s voice gets rather annoying at times.

Whenever I think of Rush or Rush fans in general, I often think of that late 80’s sitcom, Degrassi Junior High.
Not sure why exactly. Possibly the Canadian connection?
But yeah, they are just AIDS with a capital A.
I’ve tried, repeatedly to get Radiohead but nope. They are this huge band loved by bazillions world wide. I figured my taste must be flawed. Then I came to the only conclusion possible. My taste in music just fine. The world is inhabited by bazillions of idiots.
I’m in this boat I like exactly two songs. I like creep and fake plastic trees. but other than that, Yeah, what’s with the hype?

Why would they listen to RUSH when they can rock out to the sweet sounds of ZIT REMEDY??!!!
Most of the bands I couldn’t get into… I ended up loving.
SWANS
Neubauten
Jeff Buckley
Death in June
Khanate
Coil
then I loved all of them.
By contrast, most of the bands I loved straight away as a teen, I totally hate now.

I likd The Bends, then they turned odder album by album until they disappeared up their own arses. I saw them on their Kid A tour, when you keep leaving the crowd so you can queue at the toilets to kill time (even though you don’t need to use the toilet) you know you’re at a boring fucking show. I couldn’t even walk out because i was in a different city and needed my lift home.

I’m not really into much newer music nowadays anyways.

Tyler the Creator/OFWGKTA. I tried. I really tried, but all the nigga raps about is how much he hates his dad and how much he loves cartoons.
Radiohead. All my friends are nuts about 'em. I like Kid A, but there’s nothing else that gets me about 'em. They sound really sterile to me, in the purest sense of the word. Super-hygenically clean. Not rough, rugged, raw enough to churn my guts. Not commercially poppy and boppy enough to make me shut my head off and just have a good time. Not too artificial to hit me in a whatthefuckisTHIS level. Just CLEAN. I dunno. I tried.
Marylin Manson. Dude’s got a few cool singles, but I’ve never been struck by the urge to actually listen to a whole album. My buddy had the Spooky Kids stuff and I thought it was fun and super-goofy, but I listened to a couple tracks like once and was done with it. Don’t hate it, but it’s whatever to me.
Tyler the Creator is a talentless piece of shit.
I hate pretty much 99 percent of hip hop nowadays. I like Ice-T, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, old Snoop Dogg, Grandmaster Flash, Fat Boys, DMX . . .
I also can’t stand:
Manowar
Phish
Marilyn Manson
Nickleback
Megadeth (first 4 albums is okay, but the rest suck)
[shocked]

I completely agree, although I will add “the system has failed” as a decent album. But it’s certainly #5 out of the first 4.

I never connected with Frank Zappa. I know we’re all supposed to think he’s some genius visionary and whatnot, and a FEW of his songs are fun, but 95% of it is BBBBBOOOOOORRRRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!!
The first 4 years (1966 - 1970) are gold. So many gems to pick from:
Freak Out
Absolutely Free
We’re Only In It For The Money
Lumpy Gravy
Weasels Ripped My Flesh
Hot Rats
Uncle Meat
After that, yeah it definitely gets hard to pick an album that won’t bore you to tears after ten minutes. Smug exercises in technically proficient jazz comedy rock, saturated with liberal doses of social satire and schoolyard humour. Zappa In New York and Overnite Sensation maybe worth your time and effort - but mostly it’ just tedious and dull from 1971 onwards.
Anyway, as far as (respected) bands/artists that I find difficult to swallow…
The Pixies
Pavement
Beck
Wire
Cabaret Voltaire
Pearl Jam
Alice In Chains
Julian Cope
High On Fire
Nine Inch Nails
