The Dave Grohl Effect skews my perceptions of the past.  I remember not liking Nirvana nearly as well as others at the time.  But I've enjoyed most of what Grohl has done since then, particularly with the Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age.  And it creates this misleading memory that I also liked Nirvana because of him.  And if I hear Nirvana now, I do enjoy his drumming.

But I'm pretty sure the reality is, at the time, I didn't care much for Nirvana. 
I'm a huge fan of Dave Grohl's work post-Nirvana.

I'm not happy about WHY Nirvana ended, but I am happy that Grohl was freed up to perform in bands that I like much much much better.

I didn't like Nirvana then, and any time I hear it now, it's an immediate radio-dial-change for me.

I like a wide variety of music

The one that I detest is hip-hop

hip-hop is an excuse for the untalented to appear talented

So, I guess we've teased out that Nirvana is a band I should like, and that I definitely don't.

Yeah, Nirvana was a band I thought about mentioning in my first post on here.

Clearly you don't understand the stated purpose of this thread. 

What's a musical artist that you "should" like, but you don't.

By that I mean a musical genre and demographic that this artist would fall squarely within your listening wheelhouse, but you don't like them for some reason. I.e. if you don't like hip hop, don't say Snoop Dogg. If you don't like pop, don't say Taylor Swift. We don't care what genres you don't like. And it can get more specific--I'm a fan of alternative rock, and Billie Eilish is alternative rock, and I don't like her music much. But I won't use her as an example because I'm not her demographic (angsty teen female), so it's no surprise I don't like her.

It's about artists that if someone saw your normal listening habits, they'd be surprised by a specific exclusion.
Got anything that qualifies, 320?

Reinforces my belief that Nubbz and 320 are the same person.

I guess Madonna?

I like 80's pop for the most part.  Some of it holds up rather well, however even the stuff that doesn't imo, I still usually like it.  Something about the sound of that era I just dig. 

Seems Madonna's stuff from that time period probably encapsulates the genre as much as anything.  But I don't care for most of Madonna's stuff, for whatever reason.  I usually flip the station, and she's nearly the only artist on those stations that will cause me to do that.

Maybe Boston too.  Inasmuch as they belong in the 80's pop-rock category with bands like REO/Toto/Journey/Foreigner/Bad Company etc.

I like all that stuff too, but I could never get into Boston.

Thinking about all this has made me realize I don't actually know what it is I don't like about the exceptions to my rules.  I just.....don't like them.  Can't adequately explain why.

I like all those bands including Boston.  I wonder if this is one subgenre-- late 70s/80s pop-rock-- where I actually DON'T have a band that I don't like?

Let's see, who else is similar?  GTR, Triumph, Night Ranger, the Babys, maybe Loverboy (although they were perhaps slightly more toward Glam Rock in sound if not in look).  Anyway, I like all of those bands too.

Heh.  Well, there you have it.

I liked Madonna's earlier stuff.  Not so much Vogue or anything after that.

Definitely one in my group too. I never understood the appeal.. like at all.
