What is the music that tortures your soul?

The yang to progmom's yin of a thread...

Here's some of mine:

truly the only explanation for his being

Bjork makes Terry cry. :cry:

I adore Björk, despite her general weirdness and eccentricity (or maybe because of, because I'm just like that)...

:spray:

I despise Bjork

husb. and kid love her and her vids. And she's married to that crazy wild artist who uses jelly (no, can't think of the name) to make everything... Matthew Barney.

Ugh.

Lohan, Duff, ect.

qed

sucks:puke:

and the manufactured music du jour that seems to be busting out of every youngster's car...

n/t

deleted on further thought and reflection

still hate that word.

Didn't mean to offend!

I hate the overwhelming majority of these genres-Alternative, Grunge, Pop punk, industrial, rap, hip hop, modern R and B, boy bands, dancehall reggae, hair metal, thrash metal, grindcore, death metal, bubblegum, jam bands---I have an extensive list of music I hate

I love most Blues, classic R and B, 60s Soul, British Invasion, classic rock n' roll, cool jazz and bebop, swing and big band, classic rock, classic punk, roots reggae, original ska, two tone ska, some folk and bluegrass and classical

blues fest here.

:shrug:

SHUT UP ALREADY! :puke:

:grr: :P

Robert Plant's voice is enough to make me convulse in pain

she bugs the crap out of me.

You don't have to hit EVERY FUCKING OCTAVE in one bar!

the late 90s and early 2000s. Like Backstreet Boys and the Spice Girls. UGH!

And the thing is, I have both of these albums

I also don't like anything from the American Idols except for Kelly Clarkson's "Miss Independence."

Genres:

Newer country. All the women sound alike, and all the men sound alike. The men are all overly-nasalish and overemphasizing "thar hick ack-sents." If someone mentions listening to country, it better be Johnny Cash.

Surf Rock ala Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, etc.

Country rock ala Skynyrd, Eagles, etc. If I wanted to listen to country music, I WOULD TURN TO A COUNTRY MUSIC STATION!

Songs:

Dust in the Wind, Hotel California, Stairway to Heaven, etc. All overplayed and overrated, and the only people I've run into that think they're "deep" were the stoners and drunks from my high school class, who are still in my small hometown of under 2000 people getting drunk or high every weekend and listening to these songs over and over.

TlalocW

And modern "Patriotic" music ala Lee Greenwood.....

except for the really cheesy ones....I'm a sucker for cheese

The Professor

Please, no more Dan Hill. :cry:

The Professor

Particular annoyances:

The relatively recent crop of bands (none of whose names I can think of at the moment) who all sound EXACTLY THE SAME, and whose singers ALL sound like they're doing their best impersonation of Morrisey with a bad head cold.

Just about any popular (ie not jazz or classical) female singer who's been labelled a "diva". Christ, are they annoying. Whitney, Celine, and the rest of you: do humanity a favour and have your vocal cords cut out.

Rush and the Grateful Dead. Sorry, but I just don't get it.

"Oi" punk. Best summed up by something I saw on another message board: "Oi! Because stupid people need music, too."

"Smooth jazz". Genuinely BAD, most of it (some is listenable, I admit), and whatever you want to call it, it's not jazz (r&b instrumental is a better label).



The genre of country music I think of as "Nashville pop"...syrupy, synthesised, overproduced tripe. Johnny Cash had the right attitude when he took out this ad in Billboard:

and bubblegum pop.

:puke:

Is an insult to both music and photography. And as someone who dabbles in both, I think we need to fetch Celine and Anne's heads and put them on pikes for public display.

Now, as for what tortures my soul:

Simple plan (Oh, the irony of this image being hosted on a site called "truepunk.com")


Good Charlotte

ala Frankie Valley
the Bee Gees
Michael Jackson

can't explain it they just creep me out.

sung by those who cannot sing. At all.

Really sexist rap/spawning sexist vids (although the sexist rock and metal don't get a pass either.)

anything with too much pitch changer - use the pipes God gave you, warts and all.

Most top 40.

Guys screaming until their vocal chords shred. Can't take it. Don't care. Luckily their voices won't last long.

Bland, pablum like jazz. Blander than pudding. Blech.


ah, I feel better now. :)

all abominable, intolerable, and awful.

ESPECIALLY salsa and merengue.

EWWWWWWWW!!
