There is more to music than recycling the same ideas....seek out uncharted territories.

And yet you like the Stones?

I'm not attacking you or anything. I am betting that you are a Beatles man, though. From what you stated above, you'd have to be.

Believe it or not I hate the Beatles, and I get a lot of sh#t for it.

I really don't know what it is about The Stones...I suppose I just grew up with them...Sticky Fingers was the first CD I owned.

Barrett Newman's masterpiece "Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue?"

HAHA! I just knew that you were gonna pull something like that....well played.

That's funny then, because the Beatles cruised in and out of so many influences and genres and did it really well. I'd figure you'd be all over that from the description of what gets your rocket boostin' in music.

well, I didn't live through that time period. To me the Beatles (&Elvis) are the ground floor to rock 'n roll. I have heard their catalog so many times I have become numb to it. (I have worked in retail for 11 years....i have probably heard their songs more that Paul McCartney has.)

And don't get me wrong....I am not into just breaking the mold of music for the sake of doing something off the wall. I am somewhat conservative in that regard. I just don't want to be fed the same meat and potatoes each day of the week. Do you follow?

Linkin Park - i hope that applies to the rules becaus they are 110% bad.

if you like them, youve never really listened.

Korn - no question
Most of the others have been stated already
Rascall Flatts

Confession time - AC/DC is a personal guilty pleasure. I don't know what it is, but something about their songs just makes me want to crank up the radio, pump my fist in the air and bang my head. Although I no longer have any hair, so it looks even sillier than it used to.

if x = anything, than you must have failed algebra in high school.

that literally made me forget about the pounding headache I have had all day.....for a minute of two.

thanks for the laugh.

I have no special place in my heart for The Beatles, though it seems they did a lot for the music industry in general, I'll give them that.

Don't like Rolling Stones except for two songs which I prefer hearing done by cover bands.

Hate Led Zep and Skynard.

im pretty much numbed over by:

pussycat dolls
goo goo dolls
train
live

(why are those last three still allowed to release albums? why?)

this reggaeton stuff is for the birds - btw - do people actually enjoy it?

this thread reminds me of the conversations we used to have at the nickel about bands/musicians we hated ... it revolved around a bus going over a cliff and who we really really wanted on board!
