Showing Original Post only (View all)Is there some musical artist that everyone loves who you just can't stand? [View all]
I just spoke to this in my other thread, but thought maybe it was threadworthy on its own.
Bob Seger. People love Bob Seger. His music was everywhere in 70s and 80s. He's an icon.
And, he's a hometown here in Detroit. Lived like a mile and half, 2 miles from my house for 20 some years. My sisters boss knew him from the neighborhood, lived a street over. Mr. Seger used to walk his dogs and chat with the neighbors. Everyone says he's an ultra nice guy. He's done a lot for Detroit in terms of charity etc.
And a Bob Seger song to me is a crescendo of fingernails on chalkboard. Can't turn the radio dial fast enough.

Oh, HELL YES. That was my first choice before even clicking on the thread.

I think it's weird how the Dead seem to be a love-or-hate band for so many people.

I was surprised a band bristling with so many guitars and drums could sound so limp

Yup. I tried to like Lady Gaga because I like Madonna so much. I just don't like her

I really like Morrisey's taste, affectations, wit...but I just can not stand the sound of The Smiths

They are the world's biggest oldies act, but get to play arenas instead of state fairs

Bob Seger had some terrible songs. But "Against the Wind" and "Beautiful Loser" make up
