I don't get The Wiggles.  I've only heard of them, so don't take that as a bad thing.  


Your cable is out?

No, but I have a limited number of channels.  I probably don't get that one.

Another +1 for Coldplay.  I might not go as far as Sharke, but yes, Coldplay.

Kind of agree on U2.  Actually, I like them OK.  I just don't understand the religious ferver that people have for them. 



I would echo that sentiment exactly.

I thought it was about music so when I saw my first concert I realized the importance "entertaining" had.
So I get it but there are groups I just don't like to hear or see.
It seems to be much like food....and now I eat foods I didn't like when I was younger although I know there
are foods I'll never like...and bands I'll never like. Kiss is one.

Ok, I've got a couple of older ones. This might upset some people, so I apologize in advance.
 
Bob Dylan. I'm told that he's the greatest poet who has ever lived, but let's be honest. The man can't sing. I'm sorry. I really am, but when the only chance you've got of hitting a note is to slide all over the scale, that's not singing. When the audience has to work harder to understand you than you had to work spitting out the words, it's just not worth the effort. Sorry.
 
Neil Young. I know I just crossed a line with this one. He's got a voice that sounds like a cat being pulled across a cheese grater. I would say that I hate it, but that term may not be strong enough. Also, I prefer guitar solos that utilize more than one note.
 
Right now, someone's staring at their monitor with their mouth hanging open and their fists clenched in rage. I'm sorry for that.

Not me, I agree with both. I'll add Leonard Cohen and Patti Smith too.

OK...since by your own admission some of you have dissed some of the most revered names in rock (believe me I care not) how's about telling us who you do like. Or should I start another thread?

Just curious.
