> [@Lucas\_Jackson](#): > > I don’t like the Foo Fighters. I like grunge (or are they modern pop?) but I don’t really get TFFs. I’m with you there, I just find them bland sounding. I don’t mind hearing them as background music, but I can’t imagine deliberately adding them to a playlist or seeking out their albums. It’s just kind of a neutral buzzing noise to me, nothing stands out or hooks me. I like plenty of other bands in the same genre, it’s specifically them. ---

I’ve never understood why everyone has such a hard-on for the Beatles. Queen is another one. I recognize that Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest vocalists of all time. I recognize that Brian May is an exceptional guitarist. But their music has an element of… stupidity to it, for lack of a better term. I’ve never been able to get past it. ---

I don’t care for the Grateful Dead. AND, I’ve been a guitarist in a noodley bluesy band, and I can’t listen to them.:rolleyes: I’ve tried Frank Zappa too, can’t do it. But I’ll listen to him talk ALL DAY. ---

Elvis Costello. I get that he’s a cool dude and all, but his music affects me like fingernails on a black board (do people still say that?). ---

\*\*Cheese \*\*(the food). I don’t know if this thread was meant to be about music but I will take any chance I get to vent my spleen about that most odious of dairy byproducts. As for music, maybe **Beyonce**?She’s always kind of gotten on my nerves and actively makes me not want to see the new Lion King. Movies:Anything by **Monty Python**. Love all the individual members but not the sum of their parts. ---

Al Roker. So sue me. Also: Prince Most of the female singers today who search through the scales trying to find the right note; I call it ‘warbling’. New Dylan Cher Dave Matthews Band: I’ve tried, because my kids are fans, but they guy can’t sing a lick and most of their music sounds just like the rest of their music. Harry Potter: unless I’m suffering from insomnia. ---

Jazz. I physically cannot be in the same room. I have left a restaurant before ordering because of the jazz. Curiously I enjoyed the film “Whiplash” partly because I found the music so horrible that it emphasised the emptiness of the main character’s “victories”. ---

Ooo-er - so nobody has said this, but… I can’t stand rap music. Now, there was a time, way back in the '80s, when rap was new, original, fresh and exciting. I thought, at the time, that _The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill_ was a modern wonder of the world, and pointed the way forwards to a new golden age of music. And then - what happened? There doesn’t seem to have been any progress in decades. If I notice a rap record now it’s because it stands out by being more shouty, more abusive, more violent or more misogynistic than the average rap. There was always a certain lack of musicality in the template, but talent could overcome that. Now, everything sounds the same (to me) - even Dizzee bores me these days. I’ll shut up now. j [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-dont-like-_______-sacriledge-i-know/837193.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-dont-like-_______-sacriledge-i-know/837193.md?page=3)
