Albums that you find very generic and boring

I like Morbid Angel AND Michael Jackson.  And ABBA and plenty other 'good pop' acts. Kind of draw the line at stuff like Wham!

That would work IF music listeners were indeed listening for the melodic or harmonic progressions.  From my conversations with listeners, a vast majority of them listen to the SOUND of music rather than the underlying melodic/harmonic structure that actually makes the music sound the way it does.  And that is why there is so much confusion about what people like.  And people try to resolve this by compartmentalising music into genres and relying on recommendations from friends who share their tastes in music.  So if say the friend of Mr XYZ disliked something that shared similarities with something that XYZ likes, XYZ might be led to believe he/she won't like it too.  

Sometimes, people let their instinct take over and react to the music as it happens, without preconceived notions or expectations.  Increasingly, that doesn't happen and is a part of why music has become much less culturally significant.  Because it's locked up in our bedrooms and airing silently on headphones inserted safely into the ears.  When music could and did intrude on us in public spaces, there was more opportunity to discover something you might never have and for it to become a shared experience of all in the community/neighbourhood (even if they didn't all know each other).  I grant that maybe in less densely populated areas, this was less of a factor even ere the digital age but where I grew up, it was impossible to escape the sound of music playing at some nearby grocer's place etc.  It could also be very irritating, of course, if you didn't like the song and would still have to listen to it a million times just because somebody wanted to! 

I don't find it generic, but just boring: everything Tull besides TAAB.

I have...I think the sound is not good and it sounds a bit like they tried to over-sing each other (not intentionally)....Maybe they couldn't hear themselves well in the setting.  I do know that Mary Fahl is a fan of Annie Haslam's.  Maybe made her a bit nervous, especially if they hadn't really met first.  

Nonetheless, two certainly phenomenal singers sounding like only themselves.

IIRC either Annie had Mary Fahl and her husband over or the other way round a couple of months before this performance.  Because Annie had posted about the meeting with a photo and hinted that she was thinking of something like this performance.  I think the problem was only that you can't really match a contralto and soprano's range no matter what; so Fahl ended up sounding like she was straining to sing the verses.  Nevertheless, sound issues notwithstanding, thought they did it very well, the harmonising in the last verse of I think of you was great.

Again, as I stated, I don't deny their talent or musical prowess. It just happens that they aren't something I can get into.

I see you're very hurt by this, but as with every other reply, this is my OPINION. There's no need to gracefully shame me because you like something and I don't. 

This might be the most hilarious description of a prog rock album ever, lol. Not an unpopular opinion in the prog community in general! I'm one of the few freaks that it clicked with on first listen, and still enjoy it to this day.

Me too. Though it took me a few listens to fully appreciate it, I still love it to this day. I guess people's tastes are different. I respect those you are quite different to mine, but I appreciate more those who are similar.
