Music I Hate!!!!!
May 12^th, 2017 at 11:07am

Actually, there is very little music I cannot stand, unless its badly executed. But there are a few things that grate on me, sorry if this offends your sensibilities:

Down Town, by Petula Clark.

Anything by Barry Manilow

That wide strum on the beat that folkies and buskers use.

And while we are on the subject, whats with all these cutaway model dreadnoughts? They never play anything out of first position.

Amplified Drum kits. The original idea with amplification was to make soft instrument audible over loud ones, ultimately achieving a balance. That wasn't good enough for some drummers, they wanted their dominance back, but those bloody Electric Neanderthals are going to pay for it when they become prematurely deaf. They are not really musicians anyway.

My dreadnoughts are all cutaways, although I must admit that I rarely go past the 9th fret.

I suppose they became popular during that 'Unplugged" period.

Tommy's one of the best acoustic players out there, and I've only seen him use a cutaway 2 or 3 times.

Music that annoys me, though, includes John Lennon, Meatloaf, Nickelback, Matchbox 20, Taylor Swift (and all the other teenage girl pop stuff), and most reggae.

That's number 1 on my all time least favourite songs.

Truly horrible.

Mr Hammer and greggerypeccary have had a 'meeting of minds'.

LOL

It's a crap song, no matter who performs it.

Written by Marvin Gaye, I think.

Reply #9 - May 12^th, 2017 at 12:07pm In my humble opinion, one of the things that destroyed Rock and Roll, was its success with bands like the Rolling Stones inventing Arena Rock. I am going to say it . . . I hate arena rock, but I love pub rock.

Yes, I agree.

That's two things we agree on now.

I agree totally issuevoter. When MTV kicked on so many great bands started to suck. One band that comes to mind is Dire Straits. They went from Tunnel Of Love and Industrial Disease to Twisting By The Pool and Money For Nothing. So many great bands destroyed themselves going for the buck.

Looks like we agree on yet another thing, Homo.

'Twisting by the Pool' might actually be worse than 'Dancing in the Street'.

That turned me off Mark Knopfler for many years.

In fact, I've only recently been able to listen to him again.
