Musicians I’m Supposed To Like But I Don’t and I Kinda Feel Badly About It But Not Really List
In no particular order...
- Miles Davis - Kind of Blue? More like Kind of Blows.
- Janis Joplin - I'll listen to "Turtle Blues" and "Summertime." Everything else makes me want to overdose on heroin.
- REM - Shiny Happy Bullshit if you ask me.
- Live Led Zeppelin - A 25 minute guitar solo followed be a 25 minute drum solo followed by a 25 minute mellotron solo. Musical masturbation at its very best.
- Billie Holiday - Every time I hear her sing I'm compelled to eat strange fruit.
- Garth Brooks - I've said it before and I'll say it again: Guys wearing really big hats cannot be taken seriously.
- Solo John Lennon - The majority of the "serious Beatle's" solo work was seriously boring.
- Bob Marley - Somebody please tell me what type of ganja to smoke because I just don't understand the fascination with his music.
- The Jam - My disdain for this band harks back to my friendship with Tom Hartman. Whatever Tom liked I hated just to piss him off. That said, I can't listen to this band without thinking of my hatred for "Tom" music.
- About 95% of all the music recorded in the 1980's - Come on, I know I'm not alone with this one.
Labels: Beth Mann, Tom Hartman

Too bad you can't edit old posts...
Just came into a new MP3 player and I was loading it up and had much the same thought. There is much music that I just don't get.
Jazz
Bluegrass with drums
Solo Lennon
Solo Ringo
Grateful Dead (I like a few tunes - the poppy ones)
Phish
Iggy
Lou Reed
This is just a few off the top of the head. I throw the caveat that occasionally I can groove to some of the things I don't get into - they play Friday Night 80's on a local station here, and I find that the change is fun, BUT I do not listen to the stuff on a regular basis.
Greetings from Spain!
Hi Paul,
I stumbled across your website on a random googling session and your
musician list made me laugh out loud :-) thanks....compelled to eat strange
fruit will stay with me for a while. I saw you were on Facebook and thought
you might enjoy checking out a group I've recently picked up the reigns of
'Funky Tribe'....hey join us, if you feel the urge.
Happy Wednesday
Kerry
