I somewhere along the way became board stiff with popular music.
I Always liked Tom Waits and 20 years ago he was mostly unknown,I now listen to Danial Jhonston,Bob Dylan and Tiny Tim.
People hate it. But I enjoy the unpolished slightly off stuff.

I'm afraid with me the question is: 'Is there music you hate that most like?'
For me the answer to that would be:
All heavy metal,
Most rap music (though I appreciate the skill and technique),
Anything involving a 'vocoder',
Anything by Genesis,
A lot of prog rock,
Country and Western,
Big-band jazz
and (I'm sorry):
Tom Waites.
Now, having probably offended much of the membership of AoS - I'll get my coat!

Haha! Actually, I'm not sure if I really know what these genres are. Think I know what is meant by 'techno', but 'dub-techno'? Quite like some 'acid house', but know I dislike 'hip-hop'.Originally Posted by Marco

According to my wife, practically my entire music collection, save for a few Queen CD's, is awful...

How does one become 'board stiff'?
The music I like that most hate is primarily some hand-picked art/sympho rock from the early '70. Albums such as ELO "Tarkus", Genesis "Selling England by the Pound", Yes "Tales from Topographic Oceans", mike Oldfield "Hergest Ridge".
However, most other albums from those same bands/artists are unlistenable.
Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

Death Metal... Country, Bluegrass... Hardcore rap... minimalist electronica (clicks and stuff)... Noise a la Merzbow. But what the heck!

Now you're just being modest - I know you dig the phattest dub grooves around, baby, and yer Quads pump out floor-fillers like Andreas Mügge, Holger Flinsch and Jeff Mills every night...Haha!
