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:

Youve made all kinds of assumptions here.

No assumptions...

^^^ 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.

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.

Right, so who in this thread has made a judgement without knowledge?

.... of their impact.

Any one who was not born when they made their name.

We've been over this already.

: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.

And IMO you cannot appreciate the impact if you were not there.

..we just can't be friends any more Jonnii..:sad:..

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.

You are absolutely right :thumbs:

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.

Calvin Harris

and I love Kanye but hate how people expect you to worship MBDTF, soz but Power is terrible and Runway/All of the Lights are both average. hope Samuel doesn't see this

should do a thread on classic albums that we are meant to like. cause there is some ive listened to and i just dont get it. maybe for those you had to be there at the time.

Morrissey. I love The Smiths but can't stand his solo work.

Lies.

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.

I do like the album as a whole but it's definitely not as amazing as people make out. And I definitely prefer it to 808s

you're a lie

No you.

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.

one word

the rolling stones

they stink

Nirvana. Good band but not a great band.

thats 3 words lol 5 really

i like the stones they done so many good songs and are still great live but i cant listen to more than afew at one time as they do my head in, mick sings in the same kind of spoken style on everything.
but its quite amazing they are still going. saw a video yesterday man that guy has some energy how he never gets fat is weird. but they all look like theyve been dead 10 years lol

Coldplay... I just think their songs sound all the same crap

That crap singer who sings that "I got money on my mind" song.

Just remembered I can't stand Queen at all.

The Beatles, Kate Bush, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Iron Maiden, Bruce Springsteen, Etta James, Elvis & all the other samey bands/singers like these

:joker:

not poor queen Etta getting grouped with all those flops^

hew

He's certainly back.

you just listed all the bands that without them there would be not the music or the artists there are today lol

to dislike all them and call them samey is to dislike almost everything after them

Oh okay, thanks tothem for encouraging auto tuned dance music then. They also invented instruments I assume too :xyxwave:

what music do you like im curious. and no god invented instruments and commanded us to rock

Leona Lewis / Taylor Swift / Marina & The Diamonds / Florence + The Machine/ Ed Sheeran / Paloma Faith / Ellie Goulding

Eminem, Michael Jackson, Emeli Sande, Mariah, Whitney, Britney, Beyonce, Madonna and Amy Whinehouse.
