I really don't think much of the Beatles music.

(damn, I've dated AND outed myself big time now)

I hate Elvis.

I actually dislike a lot of music. Unless it hits me on an emotional level, it's just sound to me. So the bulk of stuff a lot of people like I don't. What's frustrating about that is that a lot of people think it's because I haven't heard their favorite band or song and that my opinions are based on a lack of exposure, which is simply not true. I've listened to a ton of music in my lifetime. I likely have heard whatever the other person finds to be the pinnacle of music. I just simply find most of it annoying-to-terrible.

I'm that guy who dislikes entire genres of music. I loathe country. Old country is filled with cheesy, schlocky crap. New country is essentially watered-down pop rock. Full of whiny/nasally voices and terribly twangy guitars. Yuck. I'm not into hip-hop or rap. I don't actively hate it like country, but aside from a few exceptions, it's annoying at best. Too much repetition, no real melody... nope.

I've learned the hard way to just let it go, because music is an intensely personal thing to a lot of people, and despite how it may seem at times on here, I really don't try to be an asshole all the time. So, I don't usually say something. But, I might find a convenient reason to leave the room for 3-6 minutes....
