Back on topic: As time goes by I hate more and more of the shite from the 80's that I used to like. The 70's music seems more resilient though.
80s stuff like?
70s stuff like?
80's stuff? Just look up any chart up until the mid-80's, and there's probably a better than even chance that I liked any given song that I now think is crap. After that I got wise ...
As for the 70's, that's a bit more complex. And possibly embarrassing.

Most '80s top 40 and any ballad sung by Whitney Houston.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

I'm pretty much indie-only and only really venture outside of that for things which can be described as "folksey". There's other genres that appeal (such as "world music"), but so very very much that does nothing for me whatsoever.
Jazz... I mean, Jesus... if you're going to play random notes, do it in the privacy of your own home. And don't call it "music".
R&B is just so formulaic. It is boring beyond belief.
As is death/trash/whatever "metal". It is so formulaic, it could all be computer generated. Angry guy screaming? Check. Loud guitar? Check. Drummer having a fit? Check. Audience of teenagers who will instantly love whatever you regurgitate "because they're, y'know, rebellious"? Check. Meh!
And yeah, every fucking manufactured bollocks that Cormac mentioned.
It isn't that I'm snobbish about music. I just like talent. Oh... and (usually) guitars.

I thought I was the only one who thought this. It nearly ruins the whole album. The harmonies are god-awful. Which is very strange because harmonies were ordinarily Queen's strong point
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
