i bet most of the artists we are not keen on there's actually songs we really like of theirs.
there's always least 2 with most bands whether you like them or not.

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.

guy a says i hate john lennon he sucks overated garbage lol guy b says yeah but what songs do you know. guy a says err that imagine one and one a bout a turkey lol.
guy b sighs

Pablo Nutini, Amy Winehouse, Jake Bugg, Adele

Am I allowed to say I dont like the beatles and elvis, given that I am a DJ so have heard possibly more of their songs than people who were alive at their peak have heard?

Nice try but no.

[Vicky.]

I prefer Lennon on his own to the beatles...

[Jay.]

I cannot stand Rihanna, just ugh. Everything about her, her songs are crap and so overplayed it just annoys me so much -.-

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.

Your examples are not of untalented people they just highlight how much they needed their band. There are numerous examples ie Gary Barlow. Some people are not so great solo but it doesn't mean they are untalented.

Yes, and the point of this thread is to name artists that you're supposed to like but don't. Supposed to like (everyone loves them) but don't (I don't think they're very good for whatever reason).

[reece(:]

Elvis, Adele, The Beatles, Celine...etc etc

[Marsh.]

I just have in that long post have I not?

Not that I see the point because the OP is a straight forward question, it's not about artists in their peak, their impact or anything. It's simply about whether you enjoy their music or not.

Whether someone likes the Beatles music or not is a simple question.
Discussing the Beatles impact and legacy and talent is an entirely separate debate.

Yes the OP is a simple question and I still think its unfair to list an artist that was before you were born. I think my point is also a simple one. As I pointed out a few post ago there are many you can list like Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday etc but whats the point when you werent even around to appreciate their work.

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

My grandmother loved Frank Sinatra and always played his music over and over again and therefore I (someone born after his era) heard his music and formed an opinion.

You don't have to be born years earlier to hear something and form an opinion.

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 are you referring to?

Someone saying they don't like the Beatles music (or whoever) is presumably because they don't. Where do you get the idea people are listing ones they haven't listened to? You don't need to know their impact to sit, listen and know whether you like the music itself or not.

Maybe you don't like opposing opinions?

How would you even know who has advanced knowledge of the artists they dislike and who doesn't though, are you just assuming?

Seems like you are making a big deal of a simple thread for no reason really..

[smeagol]

did i read john lennon was untallented lol haha we have gone from disliking artists to plain lunacy lol

imagine theres no lenon is not easy even if you try lala lol

[King Gizzard]

Seeing as it's my favourite genre, I'm suppose to like Green Day, but I ****ing can't stand them

[Ramsay]

Metallica and Coldplay spring to mind
They just really bore me

[GiRTh]

I made a simple comment that I think is relevant and I'd say I was under attack now. 'I dont like opposing opinions', I'm making a big deal of a simple thread? How the hell did we get to that? Have your opinion cuz trust me I honestly couldnt give a rat ass who you like and who you dont like but I stand by my main point. I think its unfair to list an artist as one I dislike that was before I was born. That is all I am saying. So why dont you two dial it down a bit?

Dial what down?

That is simply what's happening, you don't like that people are listing bands such as the Beatles so are suggesting it's because they weren't born in that era to appreciate it. Or as of your last post, because they haven't listened to them. Which is daft.

It's simply music that's popular that you don't like. Legacy, history etc doesn't come into it.

No one's attacking you, I simply couldn't understand why you were overcomplicating a simple thread.

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

Lets discuss that. Forget the Beatles and music. What are you trying to imply?

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?

Youve made all kinds of assumptions here.
