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!

Most any kind of real jazz and rap.

I have Miles Davis Some kind of Blue along with a few others. Every time I take MD's Some Kind of Blue out for a spin I think maybe this time I'll hear what others claim to hear, but no. After about 3 minutes I'm shaking my head and after 10 minutes it's back in it's case and back on the shelf.

Only to try again about 8 months later. Every time, same feeling.

This kind of jazz (almost regardless of the artist) always, always sounds to me like a bunch of guys having individual impromptu sessions in someone's garage. Only they are impromptu'ing together.

Rap? About the same feeling only worse. Only I ain't got no rap cd's.
