Artists I Refuse To Like ....EVER

All my picks for this thread have been mentioned about a gazillion times by a gazillion different people already, so listing them again would be boring as for all concerned.

Yeah, that's basically the complaint that's cropped up the most with him that I've heard. Same with a few other artists I love like Midnight Oil, Scritti Politti and so on. Obviously I've got nothing against them myself, but I can definitely see the angle all the naysayers are coming from.

I've come to the conclusion that I really dislike a majority of country music. I've really tried to get into some of them and actually perused Pete's entire Gothic Americana thread. Most of the stuff I just couldn't get into. Although this song did stand out to me immensely and I thoroughly enjoyed it:

However, for the most part I find myself unable to enjoy a majority of country.

Didn't he call Ray Charles the n-word someone called me rascist for liking him because of that.

Yep, James Brown too. So, yeah, the man's done a lot of stupid things in his life. Doesn't stop me liking his music as I do. Plus, being called a racist for liking someone who made a racist remark about 30 years ago and nothing similar since is a bit much really.

Yup, I've heard a song or two of his that I found atrocious due to his voice.

Fair enough, but do me a favour before giving up altogether. I'm making a Beginner's Guide to Alt. Country right now, it's just uploading and I will send it to you first. Listen to it and then make your decision, OK? It's a lengthy playlist of 30 songs and I'm confident you'll find something to your liking.
