Ok i feel that it just so much negative stuff that is being said about artists that ye dislike so i think i would make a thread where you could all say POSITIVE things about artists you dont like very much! And please people be serious so dont write stuff like : They have quit making albums! I can scare people away with their music and stuff like that...try to be genuienly positivie!

ok i'll start with King Crimson which i dont favour very much but i do admire that they always cared about the MUSIC and not getting into any musical trends in the 80's and also that they still could make very different music spanning over many genres!

*grumbles* I'd better say something nice about Genesis then... I love the theatricality of their shows, and I have a great respect for Gabriel's showmanship, even if I don't think their music is up to much.

I thought it was kind of cool that Can had first an African-American singer (Malcolm Mooney) and then a Japanese one (Damo Suzuki) ... surely both are a first for a relatively well-known prog group ...

The stories about the relative instablity of both guys make me wonder about the Can dynamic ...

Gentle Giant

  • very, very talented musicians
  • excellent use of odd time-signatures
  • consistent....released many succesfull albums from 1971 to 1978

Who knows, give me some time and maybe they'll become one of my favorites.

There are many artists I dislike musically that get my applauses to be engaged in humanitarian or environmental causes.

One example is Bono although I don't like him singing and U2 musical style.

 

P.S.: another thread could be "Negative things about artists you like" like Lennon & McCartney war that is very boring and still do not finish even 25 years after Lennon's death. I like both artists and feel angry about that stupid war.

Well, if we must........

I like Ayreon's album covers...

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

So you've listened to every punk band ever, then? I hate it when people put down an entire genre like that, especially considering you probably haven't listened to very much punk at all.

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.
