Here's the one that makes my a$$ want to suck buttermilk. John Denver. Oh yeah, and Wayne Newton. You don't like Danke Shoen???

Since I have worked through music history "backwards", hearing modern stuff first, I can hear the Beatles' influence in many of my favorite bands now. And maybe that's why some don't see them as special. Compared to their peers, they were way ahead of their time. Take a look at their sheet music. Lots of complicated chord progressions. They incorporated jazz and a number of other styles into their music. As for other groups, its a matter of taste I guess. Some of the stuff the Dead did was really good, some wasn't. Dylan could sing (Lay Lady Lay), but chose not to. That was his 'sound'. He is one of the most amazing lyricists ever. I never much cared for Ozzy or AC/DC. Go figure...

Compared to their peers, they were way ahead of their time. Brian Wilson would beg to differ. (Not sure I'd agree with him, though.)

Anyone with an annoying voice...
Janis Joplin, Bryan Adams, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty...you get the picture. No one can convince me their unpleasant voices add to the songs!
Nirvana...didn't get the hype at ALL!
Coldplay...some okay songs, but still WAY overrated!
Bon Jovi...how they stuck around since the 80's is beyond me
Oasis...tried to listen one time...didn't get it.
Aerosmith...Ugh!
REM...is their music really that good? Nothing I've heard so far.
I only listed bands/artists that stuck around for awhile since people still think are great. I'm sure I could think of more. I didn't mention current crappy artists like Justin Bieber. I think he'll be forgotten in a year or two.

Oasis, good one Mary, never got them either.
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Funny, I think Joplin had an amazing voice.

What about the Doors? I've tried my best over the years to like them because everyone else seams to think they were brilliant, but I don't get, or like their stuff at all. And I get (and like) Pink Floyd just fine.
Never liked Metallica either (running from Ken now).
