Who Are You and You Better You Bet are just 2 examples of a mediocre band making music that is akin to pub rock. Such a shame from a band that gave us My Generation, 5:15 and I Am The Sea.

How do you feel about The Who Sell Out? I kind of think of it as the opposite of Tommy or something... I think they get away with the "concept album-ness" because they're basically mocking themselves and the music industry. Also has some of their best songs.

I hate most mainstream mainly because it is force fed way over the number of listens a track might usually warrant. I can't stand much 'classic rock' because it was piped through the workplace for years where I used to work and you could seriously set your watch by their play lists. I mean come on they recorded other freaking songs do you have to regurgitate the same freaking tracks every freaking day?!?!?!?!? Maybe give your listeners some credit and broaden their freaking horizons?

I hate entire genres! I can't say I'm a fan of Country, Bluegrass, and most Rock genres. Ironically, they're quite big on here. One that comes to mind is Progressive Rock. Don't ask why, because this is the "inexplicable" thread. I couldn't tell you. I just don't enjoy most Rock.

I used to have an inexplicable hatred of The Smiths, then about six years ago I inexplicably started liking them.

I feel like Morrissey might explain both of those things.

I inexplicably find merit in pretty much anything I listen to, but the prerequisite for that is some sort of drug intake, and/or other damage to the brain. One time, I got my ass kicked in a brawl and I had absolutely no problem with the music that was on the radio on the drive home. It was like I wasn't even thinking about it.

Female vocalists.

I have a few in my collection that I like. Etta James, Lisa Gerrard, PJ Harvey but on the whole they (other female vocalists) either leave me pretty cold or turn my stomach. Don't know why...

I mentioned Marillion. Another band I genuinely dislike altough they seem to fit somewhere in my range of preferred musical styles is Pearl Jam.
