    Don't really dislike anything. If I don't like a song I don't listen. Most of the bands people list as disliking on here, I like.

      Bands that get put together on 'talent' shows I tend to dislike. Bands whose sole purpose is selling records, not making music.

          I'd say that even the bands that pretend not to, still want to sell a shitload of records and often times that independent attitude is part of the marketing strategy.

            But that sort of thing would include The Monkees, and I like The Monkees.

              No that's what Chris was referring to not me. I'm saying that part of every avant-garde independent living for the music artist is a promotion team trying to sell that attitude. I like the monkees. The monkees are singers singing songs with studio musicians playing the instruments. Look up the Wrecking Crew and see just how many of our favorite bands sang while they played.

                  Monkeys should be in the HOF, IMHO. TV Show, hit songs, etc.

                  What gives?

                    And if there is an act that exemplifies mediocrity any more than the Steve Miller Band I don't know who it would be.

                    I don't particularly hate them it's just that they are the Velveeta cheese of the music world.

                    Kiss comes to mind. Not much musical talent there. Just hype and product selling IMO

                      I don't put a great deal of stock in musical talent. I go by what appeals to me. If it were only raw ability you might never be happy listening to someone other than a virtuoso.

                        Okay, I found one I don't like.

                            I don't like kiss either. Their stuff is uncomplicated but that doesn't mean they are untalented. Paul Stanley did Phantom of the Opera on Broadway for a while.

                              KISS is extremely talented at marketing their image and their personality and garnering compensation therefore.....even if their music is by no means a virtuosity. Most musicians would likely be more receptive to that kind of talent.

                              See where I like Strutter and Black Diamond, my wife likes Beth.

                                  It means what it means. Every popular song does not need to be complicated and that lack of complication does not mean the performers are not talented.

                                    KISS is extremely talented at marketing their image and their personality and garnering compensation therefore.....even if their music is by no means a virtuosity. Most musicians would likely be more receptive to that kind of talent.

                                    See where I like Strutter and Black Diamond, my wife likes Beth.

                                    You talking about Dog the bounty hunters wife?

                                      It means what it means. Every popular song does not need to be complicated and that lack of complication does not mean the performers are not talented.

                                      Complication doesn't alway sound good either. Joe Satriani comes to mind

                                      "And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve."

                                          love to see steve's takeon all of this because this is where he is the one with the stature.

                                          won't say hate but dislike a lotof the 90s hippie bands. phish. before them grateful dead. then we move into southern rock, which i used to like but if i hear 'free bird' one more time i'll clip the wings of an eagle.

                                          how come no one ever plays the 3rd song on the bside of an album?

                                          btw maybe 10 years ago lollapalooza was a big thing here in nyc. on randalls island. the headliners were korn and tool. just so happened there was a little british banc on before them called james who i really like.

                                          hot 97 degrees dirt turning into dust because people are mohing inside a fenced off area to the dj's industrial mix. james comes on and they sing their top hits including 'laid' and i'm getting into it from 100 yards away while the young punks boo them off the stage.

                                          to each their own but don't disrespect talent. i mean i wouldn't call your mom a lazy dike if she didn't seat us fast enough at dennys.
