This is exactly how I feel. It feels as though whenever i say i don't like her that fans pop up out of nowhere and tell me shes a talented musician, as if this should sway my opinion.

when i was younger, i never really followed the tastes of some of my peers living in Northeast Philadelphia, who were mostly into chart pop R&B, rap, etc. i vaguely remember having a penchant for classical music in grade school, but due to very few resources to explore with(didn't have internet back then), that dried up fairly quickly and i was left without much of a taste to speak of. years later, when i started high school, two bands saved me from the shackles of a life without music, Clutch and System of a Down. after hearing a few songs i took the christmas money that my parents gave me and set out to buy several of their cds, as well as the Red Hot CHili Peppers' BloodSugarSexMagik disc(don't remember how i first heard them), all of which i played incessantly until i memorized every song. from there i discovered Mastodon and at that point music became all i ever thought about.

these days i guess can say i'm an avid rock/metal fan mostly, really the genre i delved the most into. even so, i've been trying to check out different artists and genres, cause really there's so much music out there and it's a shame that some people don't really see that and don't explore as much as they could. during this journey, i've grown a huge appreciation for jazz, hip hop, soul, funk, as well as the avant garde and the experimental.

really for the most part i'd say i like variety in my music, not just in listening to different types of artists, but artists that can combine different types of things, be able to evolve and keep from repeating themselves.

She is very talented and she knows how to write dynamite pop songs, but it's more likely that her charisma and connections rocketed her to fame more than anything else.

spare us the equatorial bullshit and stop defending the pulpit of the giddy female orgasm. if there's anything to generalize the career of that glorified walking pap smear it would be "sex sells" not "she's talented".

I don't think I disagree with that. But that doesn't mean she doesn't make good music.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

I have 2 big loves in music: metal and jazz. I also listen to classic rock, blues, and classical semi-regularly. Sometimes I listen to dark ambient and country.

I grew up on country, blue grass, folk and the blues. I was introduced to metal via grunge, and retain a soft spot for grunge, especially Alice in Chains and Tad .

My favorite variety of metal is doom/sludge/stoner, etc., but I also enjoy thrash and some folk black and viking death metal. I generally prefer an aggressive or depressing sound with some element of melody.

Sometimes I go on an 80's power metal binge, which is quite strange, given that I did not listen to metal until the early 90's. My favorite bands in this style are Judas Priest and Dio. I also love Blue Oyster Cult, however they are classified.

My jazz favorites are Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Sidney Bechet, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Coleman Hawkins. I love swing and bop, but haven't gotten into avante garde jazz (unless you count Coltrane). I don't generally listen to smooth jazz, but I make an exception for Spyro Gyra.

Honestly, I started loving music listening to "Goth" metal: Cradle of Filth, Sirenia, Tristania, and the like. This meant more "moody" metal came easier to me in the form of Opeth, Isis, Agalloch, Tool, among other ones. From there I discovered a lot of electronic music I like, mostly gearing towards industrial and darker EBM. Somewhere along the line, I grew an appeciation for metalcore in Zao and Shai Hulud. Recently I have been finding that trip hop and hip hop have a lot of merit too.

Maybe he gave it a chance... and didn't like it.
