i liked "just the way you are" when barry white did it.

as for the question at hand: bob dylan immediately comes to mind...i've never understood why folks give 'im so much props. i've never been able to warm up to 'im as it is.

I like Billy Joel's "Allentown". The piano sounds cool in that one. His older stuff is tolerable I guess, but I really don't care for anything post 'An Innocent Man'.

co-sign. but i don't even like that song. i would also add pink floyd and the eagles both of whom are lost on me.

I will echo everyone's sentiment about the Grateful Dead. I will also add Steely Dan. I tried to like Steely Dan - my friends liked them, after all - but turns out I only liked one song of theirs. Turns out that single song was a rip-off of Silver's "Song for my Father", so they go on the list.

This is a good topic. One of the things that attracts me to a band / artist is the fact that they have a 'Big Catalogue' - like if they've been around so long, I really should be checking them out.

i tried to get into them for a while...i bought a few of their albums in the '90s and later, and kinda decided i was over them after "nightlife".

My sister also cannot stand Steely Dan. I'll never understand.

I like "Stiletto"

Piano Man by Billy Joel is a great song.

Maybe Chicago

I like "My life" and "Honesty" ( I know cheesy )

You can't have listened properly or maybe you started in the wrong place. I don't like all his albums, but believe me he's a legend for a reason. Blood On The Tracks is probably the best introduction point. No one's life is complete without a bit of Bob.

You like the sample.

Glad to see so many here feel the same way! Over the years, I've been amazed at all the Deadheads and the cult-like thing they've got going, meanwhile I'm totally ambivalent about them...

However, I like what they're doing in their online store...opening their vault and making it available to the fans...I can think of someone I'd like to see do that!

Oh yes, him too! Cosign, I just cannot get into his music at all!

I don't understand any of that Neil Diamond/Barry Manilow shit at all

And I only like ONE Beatles song

RipHer2Shreds said:

But is it his music? His voice/performances? A combination? How do you feel about "Just the Way You Are" done by Barry White? How about Billy doing "Back in the U.S.S.R."?

Michael Jackson, sometimes I find myself thinking I like Smooth Criminal, but then I here it again and the feeling goes away

Madonna, some of her songs get stuck in my head but I don't think I'd say I like them,

Mariah Carey, don't even think I could name a song of hers

almost any dance/pop act


NIN
