Is there music you like that most hate?

[Barry]

Fair enough. Personally I dislike almost everything that's in the charts these days, and absolutely everything that booms out of the speakers in a boy racer type car. Your specific dislikes are similar to mine, but I do like some country & western (eg Johnny Cash and Hank Williams).

The only 'minority' taste I can think of is Half Man Half Biscuit. Nigel Blackwell is an absolute genius songwriter.

Agree with you on Johnny Cash. I tend to skirt around the 'danger zone' when it comes to Country and Western. I like Linda Ronstadt, Emmy Lou Harris and of course John Cash. Not too familiar with Hank Williams. I do like Appalachian music and the banjo pickin' of Earl Scruggs etc.

What I really dislike about some C&W is the mawkish sentimentality of the 'stand by your man' school. All 'dead dogs, mother in laws, and people walking out the door'. No doubt Nick (Beechwoods) will put me right!

My friends universally dislike Portishead, which I'm rather fond of playing loud in the car. Their third album 'Third' is a real challenge even for me, though.

Anything non prog/Psych sucks IMHO

nothing really as I think I got wide ears, but I remember loving King Crimson's "lizard" when it was first released, and all my mates threatning physical violence if I dared to stick it on the old Dansette...

I hate with passion any "music" not composed by musicians. That is a lot/most of modern commercial stuff since computer audio software became cheap/cracked.

The rest is bearable, even if/when I'm not fond of it.

Todays music is out of the Equation then

In fact, there are some exceptions in my above statement, but there are very rare.

I dislike the usual shite boy band type stuff, anything that resembles Whiney houston, or whinehouse for that matter. Pretentious jazz noodling shite for 'cognoscenti' to stroke their beards / nod their heads to, music aimed at menopausal women like michael bubble and simply red. Most 'pop' music I hear on the wireless, anything with 'rap' in it, any of that rock-a-billy nonsense that Mark Lamarr likes. Also, I try to avoid chintzy pap like elton john.

If I have offened antyone let me know, I wont change anything I just want to know...

If I have missed anything you think I should include let me know and I will consider it if the said rubbish registers on my 'utter shite' music meter. Thanks.
