What music do you hate?

[Webbo]

Today's pop music.

Get with the times granddad.

[Nick]

Oh I forgot, musicals and operatic theatre. Kill me now.

[Facecloth]

Cilla Black

[MC Prussian]

Techno, almost everything base-heavy in Rap, R&B, dance, etc. (unless it's the instrument), most classical music (I'm not old enough just yet ), anything that sounds remotely like it was uber-produced in a recording studio without any or few real music instruments involved (which includes the majority of songs in our modern-day music charts), folk, jazz (free jazz is the worst, but each to their own), emo, music where the singers have more talent for screaming than anything, speed metal, death metal & co.

 

Oh, all that and country.

All Country/Western Music, all opera (I'll make a bit of an exception for Sarah Brightman) most Rap, 99% of the so called talent that airs itself through Cowell's constant stream of crap. As per MC Prussian, I like to hear well produced proper instruments.....(and I'm too old yet )

By process of elimination... you like polka and reggae

[bovril]

Jazz. Fvcking jazz. Who listens to jazz?

 

Oh and skinny white boys playing shit indie.

[MC Prussian]

I guess I do - never been properly exposed to polka, mind. I suppose listening to the Leningrad Cowboys comes closest.

 

Reggae is fine. No need for me to include a spliff in order to enhance the experience, however.

So The Flaming Lips and Sufjan Stevens then?

Admittedly there may be the odd artist I like that may occasionally use autotune. 

[Mike Oxlong]

Fookin ballads. Whitney/Celine type warbling makes me feel like a psychopath.

[Trav Le Bleu]

I don't hate any particular genre or band, I just hate uninspired, by-the-numbers, insipid music, of which there is too much. The charts, of any given era, are proof of this.

Which proves my point! Edited 28 August 2015 by Trav Le Bleu

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

I hate that Rap. crap.  Makes me cringe. Ugh! Vile!

I take it you never bought Cilla's much maligned 'Straight outta Toxteth' album?

There are some that I have to turn the radio off or over when they come on..Proper grate on me...Main culprits are Elbow, Noel Gallagher, Eminem, and Nickelback.

[MrsJohnMurphy]

I like the best bits of every genre, Public Enemy, Boards Of Canada, Miles Davis, early Fairport Convention, Black Sabbath, Glen Campbell, Otis Redding, Funkadelic, Neil Diamond, Dead Kennedys, Caravan, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Cash, Bowie and a lot of classical. Good music is good music, genre doesn't come in to it

You've got taste. Boards of Canada are great.

 

My taste is also very eclectic. I can't really say what music I like by genre, because I'd be listing almost all of them. I mostly listen to post-punk, electro, fusion, grunge, funk, industrial.. it's all over the shop. I have my mp3 player on shuffle usually, and it'll be something like; Mastodon, Bird and the Bee, Deftones, Run DMC, George Clinton, DJ Shadow, Dinosaur Jr., Nine Inch Nails, David Axelrod, Tool, Beastie Boys... you get the idea.

 

If I had to say genres I don't like, I'd have to say modern R&B (how it can be labelled R&B, I'll never know), most indie music bores my tits off, and folk doesn't do anything for me, either.

 

Also any of that shitty dance music with sped-up Pinky and Perky/The Chipmunks-style vocals - just makes me laugh at the thought that someone could actually enjoy it, fvcking Bruno Mars (w*nker), Pitbull ("Mr. Worldwide!" Fvck off.), anything like Jack Johnson/Scouting for Girls (awful, awful, awful guff that seems to me like something designed for soothing comatose patients).

[Freesolo]

Garage music and Jungle Music with MC's over the top

There's some fantastic R'n'B knocking around if you expand on it and don't just define it as Jason DeRulo and the chart filling shite he comes out with.

 

Frank Ocean, Miguel, How To Dress Well, Raphael Saadiq, D'Angelo - there's some excellent and really inventive stuff out there.

[Fox92]

Not a fan of Queen and 'Bohemian Rhapsody' must be one of the most overrated songs of all time.

 

Don't like Katy Perry either all of her songs sound the same whenever I hear her on the radio.

I find delight in almost any genre of music, I admire the craft and the skill involved.

However, lazy boring dull dirge rock leaves me cold.

Obviously I'm talking about coldplay.

[Steven]

both kinds.... country AND western

 

You hate Johnny Cash. 

[Steven]

Any form of popular music where song writer and/or artist think they are giving you high art. 

[Miss E Twisk]

You hate Johnny Cash.

No one doesn't like johnny cash. Kenneth and I often had a 'cash night' where we listened to johnny while sorting out our monthly expenditure.

[ScouseFox]

house music or whatever shit the kids these days try to pass off as house music

Eminem? Really?
