I'll agree with the Beatles...before 1965. Everything else is IMO brilliant and I'll re-listen often. But I know plenty of people that can't listen to much Beatles. I really only sat down and listened to all of The Beatles albums two years ago so most of it sounds fresh to me.
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. That's why I really like them. They mastered so many rock styles so easily album after album, song after song.
Add Ozzy Osbourne to the list. I cannot listen to him for more than a couple songs. I'll make it through Black Sabbath once and a while since there are many classic songs. Otherwise it's just...yeah...no.
Most Rap I can't stand. Kanye, Jay-Z, and Eminem have some brilliant, lyrically depthful songs that I respect.

I agree wholeheartedly on the Dead, Rap, 97.3% of country, Pop, half heartedly on Nirvana. I wholeheartedly disagree re Beatles, they had more hits on ONE side of ONE album then most groups had in a lifetime. Never liked the Stones calling themselves the "Greatest Rock and Roll Band" although I do like most of their earlier pre-'75 music. I "get" Neil Young's earlier music, but I "don't get" his newer stuff. People say Prince, or whatever he calls himself, is very talented....mehhh, I wouldn't pays my moneys. Just to ruffle Mark's feathers(I hope he is fortunate to always carry a spare set in case of emergency), I don't really get Steve Tyler...always struck me as a Jagger with less calories.

Never liked the Dead although my brother was a Dead Head. Disagree on the Beatles - listen to I Wanna Hold Your Hand by TV Carpio....Never liked REO Speedwagon and no one grates on my nerves like Axl.

The Anthem of the Sun was my first exposure to Greatful Dead. I used to get high and listen to this album all the time. It was their psychedelic album that a lot of groups made in that time frame. To listen

I love the Beatles. I could list hundreds of things I don't like, but maybe this should be "stuff you hate that other people love for some godforsaken reason."
