Genres You Dislike/Conversion

State a genre you dislike and someone else will post a song to convert you. I dislike Punk.

I dislike country music.

Buzzcocks- Ever Fallen In Love - YouTube

If you don't like this song, you might not have a soul.

I can't think of a single genre I hate entirely. Albeit, there are some(rap/hip hop, Electropop) I dislike large portions of.

Pretty much the same idea.

I think this could potentially be a great thread concept, if it were more than just a post-videos thread. I think we should list some examples of the kind of things we're looking for in a genre we dislike, and see if anyone can recommend bands or albums that we sound likely to enjoy.

I agree. I was thinking it would help if people looking to be converted would give some sense of what music they do like so other have some idea of what direction to come from with their recommendations.

I'll start out.

Hip Hop.

The problem: I find that the repetition of vocals and their focus on rhythm rather than melody doesn't hold my attention. Also, vulgarities in lyrics turn me off. I didn't even really care for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I thought it had moments, but that they couldn't be redeemed by what I considered negative qualities (f.ex. that piano based song where the guy at the end talks about ****ing for two or three minutes).

So far, I've found a few albums that I consider listenable, but wouldn't purchase for myself or listen to regularly.

Eternia & MoSS - At Last
Dalek - Absence
Buck 65 - 20 Odd Years
Beast - Beast
Why? - Alopecia

I like instrumental hip hop, and I love trip hop. The one album closest to hip hop in nature that I can say I love through and through is Gorillaz - Demon Days.

So, any hope for me?
