The good thing I can say about artists I don't like is... I think the only good thing that comes to mind is that they don't care about wether I like them or not. They don't even know about me. So, they keep recording many many things and I don't buy those things, and they keep not knowing about me, and then we're going to die and my foot is going to be on some weird flag of a weird country, and the population of that country will grow using hats, and placing fishtanks above the surface of the sea, so the fish inside can see the ocean, but will be forever separated from it.

they can play their instruments, and are never afraid to make ugly music (ugly to me)

Can:

Hey Ty,  where did he put it down.  He  just hates it, why would you listen much to something you hate.  I mean the thread is about musical dislikes.......

Yea, it's a matter of personal taste, I heard much of "classic" punk and can say that I hate it. Plus their attitude stinks and they put down and generalise prog much worse. Read this thread on a punk forum. Did they hear more prog than I heard punk?



hah hah ha, thanks for the link.... this made my evening...

"Heard Greg Lake(of ELP infamy)on the wireless a few weeks ago.Nearly fell asleep listening to him mummbling on inanely about his glittering career, kind of says it all, pompous twat.They regularly sold out big venues...yawn, well so did Hitler and he didn't have a top forty hit either,did he ..? Mad"

punk rock - bah!   punk rock fans- priceless!

ELP have managed to convince people that they're a good band.

An ingenious topic.

I always put down boring old Pink Floyd. But really, the wide-spread popularity of DSOTM had some kind of (minimally) positive effect on some bands music -  bands that I do like. I see traces of DSOTM sequencing and segueways on Genesis The Lamb Lies Down Broadway.

The "needles and pins" ending of "Broadway Melody [...]" and then its transition to "Cuckoo Coccoon" is just one example. I also think "The Waiting Room" is Genesis emulating a Floyd-y sound.

I don't care for Pink Floyd music as a whole, but some of what they did was pioneering in some ways.

Dream Theater - may eventually spell 'theatre' correctly.

Robbie Williams - will retire at some point in the next few decades.

U2 - are probably quite nice if you get to know them.

Well, MARILLION got a lot of people into progressive rock, and many of
those people may have gone on to discover more pioneering, original and
challenging bands.

Lindsay Lohan, well she looks good

Radiohead, I guess they bridged the gap from prog to mainstreim in recent years (they are slightly prog, but only slightly).
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Mick Hucknall of Simply Red...

Good music taste: blues and jazz

That's about it.

Mariah Carey...

Gets coverage on this forum... has a good voice I guess, not that I care one or the other for her or her songs.

Robbie Williams...

Got rejected by Fearne Cotton at Live8.  Has a good stage presence.

Pete Doherty...

No, bad choice, can't think of a good thing to say about him.

Bez from Happy Mondays...

Played maracas.

Justin Timberlake...

I'm stuck again..., erm, no, no good things.

Normally if I dislike a band there's little good left in their music...

  • Asia - great musicianship and big songwriting potential
  • Green day - They do have a certain talent for writing cheap pop songs.
  • Cannibal Corpse - Maybe just that they can theoretically play well... but they never show it.
  • Hilary Duff - well, she's hot...
  • Linkin Park - nothing really

I just picked out the brightest or most sellout examples. I hate all punk, and strongly dislike death/nu metal and pop

Phil Collins...

Great drummer and does a lot of work for charity and can also play piano too.
