Music You Strongly Dislike (Just For Fun)

[Brofeld]

...hate the eagles...

Don't know if this story is actually true, but if not, it's at least a good story:

"he (Burnett) had a tough time securing the rights to Townes Van Zandt's cover of the Rolling Stones' "Dead Flowers", which plays over the film's closing credits. Former Stones manager Allen Klein owned the rights to the song and wanted $150,000 for it. Burnett convinced Klein to watch an early cut of the film and remembers, "It got to the part where the Dude says, 'I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!' Klein stands up and says, 'That's it, you can have the song!' That was beautiful."

hahaha, there it is, there it is! More Than Words by Extreme.

This compilation would sound great in a bonfire.
I would rescue Is This Love by Whitesnake which I like even if it is maudlin metal.

Different genre, but I can't stand REM.

The Power of Christ compels you!

Urgh, think I threw up in my mouth a bit..

 

[Palladium]

Rap and jazz, anything auto-tuned, most EDM and post 2010 pop.

They're actually called panpipes. That will help you to avoid them. I don't mind them for the music meant for them, but there's a whole genre of using panpipes to play other forms of music and that stuff is maddening.

Your suggestion would lead to lots of rap music with panpipe backing tracks, about rare and expensive panpipes, bling panpipes made out of gold everywhere and a few panpipe players on the wrong end of gang feuds. So probably not really a good idea.

I often enjoy hip-hop/rap in different languages. Rap from Japan for example, there being some really great tracks produced by DJ Krush, etc. Even different accents, like Australian are fun. I'm now mildly fascinated by the idea of indigenous Peruvian rap. That could take inspiration from this clip, which is crying out for traditional Andean siku I reckon:

... way too short, here's some more for you jazz hip/hop fans:

I know this is meant to be about music we dislike, I'll get back to that.

Phil Collins in every incarnation.

He was the drummer on Eno's album Another Green World however.
Brand X were pretty good too...

 

[Aerith Gainsborough]

Genre: Hip Hop, Rap, German Schlager, Non melodic Jazz, modern mainstream music.
There is A LOT of music I strongly dislike, actually. :'D

 

[Chr1]

Clannad. Enya..."New Age" type s**t...

And opera.

 

[muslhead]

Celine Dion
Michael Bolton

You reminded me of more stuff to dislike: bluesy cover band shite with that depressing 12-bar thing going on and on and on (reminds me of too much sun/alcohol in public parks and tacky pub gardens).

Or rotunda jazz-in-the-park stuff. Same nightmare.

Also: music that relies on melodies—especially catchy ones—people who produce ear-worms have their own circle of hell waiting.

 

[melvinjames]

50's Doo-Wop, early Country and Western, polka

Steve Miller and the Beach Boys top my list of bands that make me lunge for the dial (so to speak). Other wince-inducers include Billy Joel, Aerosmith, Wings, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rush, Dave Mathews ...

 

[JonK99]

John Cage's 4'33". Live, it's a great piece, but as a recording, it leaves me cold. Whenever it comes on the radio I just change the channel.

 

[fpitas]

What's the content here. It isn't much about guitars.

Outstanding points! Wait...there was a guitar?

 

[AdamG]

OK, I’ll play too…

Tiny Tim
Bruce I can’t sing steen
Any Hollywood Actor who think because they are rich and famous that they can sing too….
Bob Segar (lost a GF over Tickets to the Concert). Mostly evokes a bad memory.
Boston except their original album
Greatful Dead
Peter Frampton
Polkas
Kiss

A music teacher of mine was asked if he liked Boston.

"Yeah, that song of theirs is pretty catchy"
"Which song do you mean?"
"They have more than one?"

 

[Rja4000]

French singer Francis Cabrel.
I hear a note, I switch the radio down.
I just can't stand this guy.

Strauss waltz. Especially on january 1st ;-)

I admit I had to watch it a dozen times but eventually as I squinted and concentrated real hard I think I saw a glimpse. I have circled it as a helpful service so others don't have to watch the video as many times as I-->

Youtube was fast to notice that I apparently am into guitars all of a sudden.. Now she is on front page.

827000 subscribers. And you should take a look at the sad commentaries. Jeez..

 

[sam_adams]

Never look at the comments, Ray.

 

[GD Fan]

Rap, country, opera, disco and big band music.

Now I've actually heard a few in each genre that I do like, but a very small percentage except for opera. NO OPERA PLEASE! EVER!

Even with opera, there is some music I like as long as they don't sing.

Oh, and Phil Spector Wall of Sound Atrocities. I actually really dig much of the music, but it is in spite of Spector's attempts to make it unlistenable. Would have done him no good were I on the jury.

A big +1 on big band. Ugh.

And the whole class of acts like Journey, Boston, Chicago.

Okay this is all very amusing. Quite a few chuckles. I too really despise the Bruce Springsteen working man cosplay thing. And the jingoistic patriotic shit.

Whoever said that earlier is brilliant. But…. In his album ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’ he pulls really art out from somewhere. It is frigging fantastic. Like a completely different personality did it.

 

[mglobe]

The sound of Billy Joel's music evokes visions of leathery cleavage tucked inside an Irish pub serving frozen fish sticks with plastic silverware in a Long Island strip mall with compact pearlescent Mercedes convertibles in the parking lot.

I don’t like him near as much as you do.
