Which artists do you just not get?

I love folk. I love rock n roll. I love jazz, classical, C&W, blues and bluegrass.

At the risk of being labeled a troglodyte, a philestine, or worse, I've never been able to listen to Bob Dylan without getting a headache. Reminds me of a cat and a chalk board. Same goes for The Grateful Dead. Maybe I wasn't doing the right drugs or something.

Who else has the courage to admit to disliking music that vast portions of the population seems to go gag-ga over?

Rule number 1, Don't get personal or call other posters names because they just dissed your favorite artist.

Rule number 2, keep it civil.

Rule number 3 - HAVE FUN!

Here's the purpose Ben_Campbell: To help each other find something of value within what they don't like. Example: Viggen should listen to Orff's Carmen Burina or the opera Carman.

Me? I can't understand the Mapleshade label (although the sound is great), and Diana Krall (where's the emotion)?

Please Viggen, give Orff's "Carman Burana" a try. It turned me into a hunter of those rare pieces of musical, non-vocal domineered, opera. (Ooops, I said that word again)!

Having said that - Sorry to have driven so many to write so much.

Many of you have brought up The Greatful Dead. I agree. I don't get it, BUT the "Shakedown Street" is a great album especially for it's "vibe".
