Like most people, there are many musical artists I don't like. I am not really "into" music the way most people are, I never just sit and listen and enjoy, and I don't really have any one style preferrence. I like a bit of everything. I like modern hip hop, techno, screamo, emo and Dubstep. I love Led Zep, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, System of a Down, and all that. I like some country artists like Alan Jackson and Travis Tritt and so on. I think Leonard Cohen is a genious and Neil Young a god. I enjoy Japanese rock and modern K-pop music like Brown Eyed Girls. I even enjoy a great deal of classical music. Like I said, I like a bit of everything. Have a puppy:
There are also quite a few HUGE bands that I do not enjoy.
For example, I would rather punch myself in the testicles than listen to U2 singing anything. I think Queen had a few great songs but most of their music does nothing for me. I think Nirvana basically sucked and if Cobain hadn't died no one would mention them today. But that's personal, I understand WHY people love U2 and Queen, I recognize their talent, it's just not for me. I get that. I understand completely why their fans love them. Also, another puppy:
Then there's Bruce Springsteen.
And I simply do not understand what ANYONE sees in this guy. His songs are rubish, his voice is mediocre at best, he's not a particularly talented guitarist, his lyrics are weak, and his sound is muddy. I cannot imagine his band getting a job at a local tavern working for tips, let alone attracting any kind of following.
He is literally the only act I can think of where I simply do not get it. I cannot imagine how anyone likes him at all.
What am I missing? Help me DU Lounge, you're my only hope! Finally here's another PUPPY!!!
