It's probably been done before, but I'm curious - who are some artists or even albums that you think (or others think) you should like, based on the things you already do like and the things that everyone else seems to think are great. I've got a list a mile long full of those kinds of people - something in me tells me that if I'd listen more maybe I would like them - but I just can't bring myself to.

And you?

I was just thinking about this, and Frank Zappa came to mind. I just can't get into him for some reason.

I could never get into David Bowie´s music although I liked him as person based on one interview that I´ve seen with him.

Bowie; thought about getting some of his shit but i don't know.

marilyn manson; i made a compilation off dls but i was thinking about buying mechanical animals

These aren't artists I dislike. I just feel like I should LOVE them based on the other stuff I listen to.

And I own things by all of them, but just can't seem to have a breakthrough with any of it.

Radiohead
Beck
Elvis Costello

I remember when my wife and I were dating a few years ago. It was late at night and we were sitting up listening to the radio. All of a sudden this weird song comes on, And this guy whispers "Last Night I Dreamed We Were Eskimos, And We Were Eating Doggy Doo-Doo Snow Cones!" We laughed through the whole song. When the dj said the song was by Frank Zappa, My wife said "What kind of LSD did he take that made him come up with that song?

hip-hop artists...

Zed Zepellin (Queen fans don't led zep...it's a rule!Brian May is the axemaster!)

Supposedly, if you dig metal (or any of its subgenres), you're supposed to bow down to Slayer, but I find their stuff monotonous.

Sufjan Stevens

india.arie

Ornette Coleman

Evanescence. I can't stand Amy Lee.

Studio magic...pure studio magic!

There were my favorite band back in 2003-2004. Listening to Fallen today, I now hear the overly slick pop production and boring nu-metal guitar riffs. They'd be better if they were rawer, like on their no-longer-in-print debut Origin.

I don't know about that.. are you sure her crappy live singing isn't thanks to her endless jumping up and down on stage?

seems like I would like Bjork, but Im scared of her..

I should be a big fan of John Mayer, and I think this is the year that I will officially be a fan of his

I SHOULD like India.Arie also but Im scared she may bore me

Im scared to get in2 Miles Davis, because Im not sure where the hell to start.

I think I would appreciate the Four Tops, but I cant get over Smokey or the Temptations FIRST.


And why in the hell I dont own one Paul McCartney album after having all the beatles albums (Revolver and down) I should be in2 him

She didn't hit those hi notes...she was the butt of jokes here in Portugal after they performed here!

Poor emo kids!

squiddyren said:

Lacuna Coil does it better.

My Chemical Romance. Gerard Way looks cool and they make good videos, but their songs...

I don't like emo.

Tori Amos
Radiohead
Beck
Sufjan Stevens

Oh trust me, he's tried.

MikeMatronik said:

Do I get bonus point for being an uber-Kylie fan?

sextonseven said:

You have to admit that the "Helena" video is awesome, though.

Strangely enough, My Chemical Romance is a band that I should absolutely abhor, but I kind of like because of said video.

"Ocean Blue" is fucking awesome, but I actually prefer "Paper Dolls" from the Light Years sessions. My favorite B-side of hers is probably "Baby".

Y Kant Tori Read it is.

Moonbeam said:

Favorite Dannii song?

Last chance:

*if u answer "This is it" u r forgiven!*

Moonbeam said:

That is a good video.

I just wish the music behind it was the Sisters Of Mercy's "Temple Of Love" or something.

Moonbeam said:

co-sign to that!


The best thing I've been able to say about her is: "Well, she didn't ANNOY me that time"
