And Elvis Presley is someone I respect, but I've never really been able to get into either.

pretty much 90% of whoever made Billboard's Top Ten in the past decade.

John Lennon

After the Beatles, yeah I couldn't tell you much about solo Lennon. Don't even have a single best of compilation. I'm more of a Wings/Macca guy from that point.

John's solo work is awesome. You are missing a lot of great music.

Michael Bolton

R. Kelly

2 Live Crew

Tupac

Pretty much most popular acts after around 1990 or 91. I'm mostly an oldies listener, lol.

Elvis

Prince

Madonna

Beyonce

The Who

The Beach Boys

Many more & almost ALL Rap music.

Oh, I forgot Eric Clapton . . .

Chicago

Joni Mitchell (yes, I know )

Mick Jagger solo (I do like Keef tho)

Lots of early-mid 70s stuff like prog rock.

Joni Mitchell (yes, I know )

Even in Canada, it's pretty easy to, well not IGNORE her catalog but basically miss it outside of maybe two big songs.

In 2007, I set out to correct this and ended up falling in love with her 70s albums.

See? She was another one of those legacy artists that I just missed by being born in the 80s.

Unlike you, I ain't got no excuse. I was born in the 70s and I'm a huge classic rock fan (tho I am more inclined to the UK groups)! I just haven't hit my stride yet w/ Joni, tho I know she's a great artist.

I'll also add The Band to my list too...for many of the same reasons. My Boomer classic rock friends love them, but I just can't get w/ it too much!

India.Aire (sp?)

James Taylor

Wings

Actually he doesn't bother me....not my fav, but doesn't make me wanna hit somebody. I just never got w/ the whole "down home boogie" vibe that was a touch too crunchy for me. I'm a more "balls to the walls" kinda girl!

Joni Mitchell doesn't have rock songs like that... haha maybe you've ignored her catalog for good reason.

As musicians, this might be true (esp Ringo and John)...but as songwriters, composers, etc...nope. The Beatles were smart enough to quit as a live act while they were ahead, but were masters of the mixing board.

When I think of the words "garage band" I think of stuff like Lenny Kaye's "Nuggets"...ya know, ? and the Mysterions, The Ramones, and stuff like that. The Beatles weren't the world's best band or live act, but they weren't just about covers and catchy tunes that sound all the same either.

Just my -$.98.

Anything that's shit....

Shitney Houston and all the urban adult contemporary type singers like her and all shit hop acts.

Yeah, I know... I do appreciate great lyrics tho. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate her or The Band or even James Taylor, but I have to be in certain mood to give her and other fairly downbeat artists a whirl.

It's more of a preferance than a hardcore dislike. Well...not Wings! I genuinely dislike them.

Elvis

Barbara Streisand

Mariah Carey

Celine Dion

Rihanna

Jennifer Lopez

Beyonce

Kanye West

Lady Gaga

Christina Aguilera

Motley Crue

P!nk

and many more...
