The Stones....nobody can understand why I don't love them,but I don't care about them at all.
Jeff Beck.....nuff said.
99% of country music....must be because I had it crammed down my throat living in the Music City area.
Jimmy Vaughn.....Doyle Bramhall,two overrated players....nuff said.
SRV....sensory overload after all these years,the guy was a great player and I like some of his stuff,but hearing every wanking blues wannabee player nowadays who think the blues started with him has soured me quite a bit.
as usual...ymmv and this is my 2 cents worth.

Rancid, theyre so punk compared to the other guys coming up around them, I just dont like em for some reason

Guns N Roses everyone loves em but me, I hate em deeply though

The Byrds just couldnt get into em

Grateful Dead too smelly hippy for me

The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton: I understand what they did changed music, I know they are highly skilled and beautiful artists in their own right, Ive listened to their big hits and liked em, but I just cant love em

I'm not getting the Jeff Beck bad vibes here.

I saw him live a couple of weeks ago, and $@!& me what a guitarist he is. Also a very unassuming, quiet, lovely bloke. Definitely one of the understated guitar heroes. Plus, Nadia is just an incredible tune when done by him.

As for me... can't really get along with Foo Fighters these days. Used to like them, grew out of them.

There's a weird phenomenon about certain bands/artists I've noticed.

There are bands that I absolutely love half of their songs, but I detest the other half.

REM: For every "Crush With Eyeliner" or "Losing My Religion" (songs I love), there's a "Shiny Happy People" or "Man On The Moon" (songs I detest)

Beatles: For every "Day In The Life" or "Get Back" (love 'em), there's a "Michelle" or "Maxwell Silver Hammer" (detest)

Elvis: For every "Heartbreak Hotel" or "Kentucky Rain" (great), there's a "Clam Bake" or a "Teddy Bear" lurking in the background...although I love ZZ Top's version of "Teddy Bear" (they made it a sexy blues tune! :shock: )

Do any of you notice this? It's not just, "I like this song, but not so crazy about another one..." This is truly "Love this one, can't even listen to that one..."

That's just human nature. I, for example, absolutely hate Losing My Religion by REM... but love What's The Frequency Kenneth and The Great Beyond.

As for the Beatles... as a rule, I can't stand them. But, Here Comes The Sun and Eleanor Rigby are amazing, and to be fair most of the Sgt. Pepper's album is pretty good too.

This coming from a 50-something California native son, but nothing has me reaching for the radio dial faster than The Eagles.

Rush,Aerosmith and Guns and Roses are 3 groups that I haven't liked from the start and the common thread they all have is mostly the lead vocalists that really get under my skin although none of the music from all 3 does anything for me.I don't have any albums by any of them but then again I don't have any SRV and I like him quite a bit.

I need to stop going into these threads because:
A) KISS is my all time favorite band and I don't like to hear people not liking them.
B) How can you not like the Beatles??

Anyway it's your opinion and I respect that.
I really enjoy everything in the genres I like. I guess some of those hair bands could be worthy of changing the radio station. For example, Def Leopard is meh and White Snake, Metallica stuff like that.
