Oh actually Mariah Carey's another one. It's the same reason I don't really get Jessie J (obviously she's not really eligible for this thread either but anyway) - I don't care how many ridiculous notes she can technically hit, when it comes down to it I just don't think very much of her musical output and I don't like her personality or attitude.

Squealing out of your range does not make any music nicer to listen to. I quite like Jessie J's voice when it's normal but when she starts having spasms and making stupid noises I just want to slap her.

You have again went back to the artists impact thing....when the threads about disliking an artist that lots of other people like.

I could turn round and say I don't really like Elvis' music but I wont deny he was a massive impact in his time.

Nobody's saying they're quite overrated, they're simply saying they don't like their music.

That's the point of the thread, hugely popular artists whose music you simply don't like.

The problem with not liking a artist you really have to of heard all the music first. most people dislike someone with only hearing a couple of songs or have some misinformed opnion of them.

If you don't like the music you hear from a particular band/artist you're not going to go through listening to their entire back catalogue on the off chance there's a couple of decent songs. One or two good songs doesn't make you suddenly a fan of them either if you hate 99% of their output.

yeah but my point is most people they really only know a few songs before they make a opinion. which is pretty unfair. we all do it. so what we might class as a sucky band one day can change the next. or could change if we made the effort to listen more.
i think you got to listen to more than a few songs to really say a artist sucks.

I don't think it's unfair at all. A lot of the most popular artists at any given time are where they are through a combination of their music and being able to capture the general public's imagination en masse and sweep that up into a frenzy. Then, once it's all over, people then take the time to reflect back and realise that maybe they weren't as amazing as was thought at the time because some part (perhaps a huge part, perhaps only a little part) of the hype was purely because that was the thing everyone was into. That's why I said I don't think John Lennon is a good solo artist. His solo career got the platform it had because he was a member of The Beatles. He actually didn't have very much of interest to say, his lyrics were uninspired and in my opinion his solo music showed him up to be not a very talented person, pretending to be one. He was long before my time. I have the benefit of being able to listen to his music without being caught up in Beatlemania - an unbiased judgment, I would say.

Z
31-05-2014, 06:42 PM
I feel the same way about Beyonce actually. I loved Destiny's Child - Bug A Boo, Bills Bills Bills, Say My Name, Independent Women, Survivor, they had so many incredible force of nature tracks that just jumped out at you on first listen - Beyonce as a solo artist is a fantastic live performer but her music is really average and I preferred her in Destiny's Child.

But that's a different point.

You say people weren't around during these artist's "peak years" therefore can't fully appreciate how fresh or innovative it was and now you're talking about them listening to no more than one or two songs.

You don't have to have been born during Elvis's era to go back and listen to his whole catalogue. It's a separate point.

Saying you don't like an artist or their music is not discrediting their career, popularity or impact, it's simply pointing out that through all of that you don't like the music itself.

You can say you don't like Beatles music (I'm sure many didn't at the time too) but that's not taking away the fact that they were pioneers of pop music. You're looking too deeply into a simple question.

Because maybe they've heard their music regardless of when they were born?

Dial down the 'I dont like opposing opinions'?? Where on earth did you get your inspiration for that comment?

Because you're suggesting posters are listing artists that they've never listened to, where did you get evidence for that exactly?

Statements like that just gave the impression you didn't like the opinion so are using excuses to disregard their opinion as invalid because they're younger.

So younger generations who are big Beatle fans can't list the Beatles as their favourites either because they weren't around in their era? :shrug:

No assumptions...

And I wouldn't list an artist as one I disliked if I didnt have advanced knowledge of their work and impact but hey thats just me.

^^^ What is the point of this post if you weren't referring to posters in this thread? Who is listing artists they have no knowledge of?

YOu cant have advanced knowledge of impact if you were not there.

But why do you need "advanced knowledge" of impact to judge whether you enjoy an artist's music?

Like I said "impact" is an entirely separate subject to the question in the OP.

But why do you need "advanced knowledge" of impact to judge whether you enjoy an artist's music? You dont but if you list an artist who made their name before you were born as one you dislike then IMO if they are as influential as the Beatles then you need a good knowledge of the impact of their music to make that judgment.

Thats my opinion. If you dont agree then thats up to you. See I don't mind people disagreeing with me at all so you were totally out of order going down that route.

:facepalm: You don't need to have been born or around in the 60s to know about the Beatles impact.

And you don't need to know about their impact to know whether you enjoy their material or not, we've been over this.

You're taking it in circles so we'll end it there.

Maybe. But it is contrary to the thread topic.

You can appreciate an artist's impact and influence and still dislike their music. I can't stand Madonna, but her career and influence cannot be disputed.

The word overrated annoys me. Dislike anything you want, but unless you know all the ins and outs of something you can't really claim it's either too lowly or highly rated.

Jay Z would be mine. His music does nothing for me. Find him quite dull.

tbf I don't love MBDTF. For whatever reason it doesn't really connect with me.

808s & Heartbreak was his last really great album imo. Nothing beats it when you're feeling down.

Easy for me this, it was when they were together and is still the case for them solo too. 'The Spice Girls'.

I was always being told they are/were great and I could never see it at all.

The only one I have had a liking for was Emma Bunton because she at least didn't near murder my favourite song 'Downtown' when she covered it for Children in need.
