but for some reason you just don't.
When I say "supposed to like", I mean I like the genre of music, I know people love their music, I should like them based on my other tastes but actually I can't bloody stand them.
Here's a few of mine..
David Bowie - never heard a track I actually like
Iggy Pop - supposed to be an icon but again I couldn't name a single track
Foo Fighters - I love guitar bands but I just don't get them
Eminem - I love plenty of rap and people worship this guy but I can't stand his whiny voice.
Who are yours? |  | | |  |

Paul Weller / The Jam - just not my cuppa
The Clash - love a lot of bands from the punk era but for some reason just struggled with them
Chemical Brothers - really loved The Prodigy and other similar acts of that era, but the Chemical Brothers were a bit much for me
Dropkick Murphy’s - love folk / punk, but they are just……errrr, fake Irish shîte
And of course, for no real reason other than themselves ~ Coldplay. Room 101 [Post edited 2 Oct 12:56]

The Beatles - nope, never did get the hysteria. A couple of tracks were ok, but to this day, just don't get it - especially their later stuff (or rather guff).
Elton John - utter dogshit. Can't stand him or any of his music.
Bob Dylan - I'd listen to his stuff... if I was about to top myself.
Beach Boys - just no. |  |

I wondered how many posts it would be before we got a "Coldplay".... | | | |

This is a big admission as I feel that whenever I have said this it has caused universal consternation.
I have just never been able to get into The Beatles euphoria. I like some of the songs they have produced (and they did bring a new era to music) but I have never been able to admire them in the way we appear to be expected to in an almost religious sense. |  | | |

Coldplay and Snow Patrol make my list. Have either of them ever produced a happy song? NO? Just the same monotonous dreary dirge over and again.
Pretty much anything in the bubblegum pop and/or boy/girl band genre. There are probably half a dozen each boys/girls who all sound the same and I certainly can't tell them apart. For instance, Jessie J, Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, etc Just not for me.
Bruce Springstein. Basically has made the same four chords last for decades in his brand of Americana and "Bored in the USA" sums him up.
I have a huge gap in my knowledge and perhaps appreciation of popular music from about 1985 when my first son was born to 2000 when my youngest son was born. In those years a number of more important matters occupied me so that today I struggle to appreciate anything from that 15 years.
Music I will either turn off or switch stations if it comes on - Beyonce, Elton John, Guns n roses, T'Pau, Wham, Take That, (have met Gary Barlow who seems a nice enough type but thankfully he was talking and not singing).
There is of course another thread which is "artists you're not supposed to like, but do.." | | | |

I will definitely join the Beatles mentions. Absolute dirge.
Rolling stone also. Nope, don't get it.
Queen. Two or three good tunes, the rest were dirge. |  | | |

If you don’t like the Beatles then “you’ve got dead ears, mate”.
Lennon and McCartney were hands down the greatest songwriting partnership of all time. It was like having Mozart and Beethoven in the same band.
George Harrison was no slouch but he couldn’t get a look in either.
People will still be listening to the Beatles centuries from now. There is no other band with that level of genius.
Their cultural impact was immense. I hate to think what pop music would have been like now if they’d never have existed. |  |

I grew up with Will and have told him many times that for someone who's mum had such good music taste (motown, atlantic records, and tons of northern soul) it's incredible how he's managed to make some of the most bland music going.
I've noticed a few mention queen here and in the past i'd have agreed but they were Elijah's favourite band and now their songs hold a different meaning for me so i don't hate them anymore.
As for me i think most have been mentioned already, but U2, Coldplay, Spingsteen, AC DC and also (probably controversially) Nirvana, who were just a cheap rip off of the pixies or fugazi for me |  | | |

I was chatting to my other half about taylor swift the other day and other than shake it off i don't think i've knowingly ever heard another song by her.
Which does make me think for some so unbelievably famous it's weird i can't name, or know, at least a handful of her songs.
I doubt there's another artist with the same level of fame who i wouldn't be able to do that of. | | | |

LOL - 100% - I can't name ANY of her songs. Generally I see the name and close what I'm reading ...
I thought of another "cool" band that I bloody hate, actually two ... Manic Street Preachers and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. | |

The Beetles - what a minefield, as manufactured as any Simon Cowell creation. Girls screaming over 4 mop haired scousers - only if they got paid to. Tavistock institute creation, would be amazed if they wrote any of their songs except for the painfully bad Yellow submarine and when I’m 64. John Lennon shot by one of his own fans? So much weird stuff around the Beetles. Sorry fans! | |

Do you think everything is a conspiracy theory? It seems to be a very all-in industry. If you think one thing is a conspiracy you are honour bound to believe every last one. |  |

Or perhaps that is his place in the wider conspiracy?
Somebody who sees conspiracy everywhere.

That would be ridiculous 73 to think that "everything" was a conspiracy, do you believe that everything that makes the news is true, sold as seen? Those days of general wide eyed naivety are fast disappearing. | |

A couple of points fwiw.
They were the Beatles, not beetles.
A great rock and roll combo who paid their dues.
I’m a fan and still listen to them a lot. | | | |

Easily amused Butty? What are you finding funny?
That the Beatles were manufactured and not organic?
That girls really did scream over the mop heads and apparently wet themselves at their concerts?
That Lennon and McCartney as very young men wrote over 180 songs in 7 years with hit after hit?
That a fan kills his own hero?
That social engineering is an actual thing? | |

It’s a shame you see conspiracies everywhere. The 60s are a fascinating period of social history which the Beatles played a significant part in.
I’m not a particular fan but recognise they are an important part of that history.
Firstly they were not manufactured. The Beatles all met through playing with different bands playing skiffle stuff which was popular at the time. They were also very good musicians. And yes they were prolific song writers. Some are rubbish others are great songs. For every Yellow Submarine there’s a Blackbird.
And yes girls and young women did scream and let themselves go at not just Beatles concerts. This is the start of the 60s and post war Britain. Read about it.
As for Chapman. A deluded loser shot John Lennon outside his New York apartment. Nothing else. No conspiracy no CIA etc. | |
