Yanni.

Pretty much all of the generic rock and rap influenced rock bands of the last 15 years or so. :oldfogey:

The only one I agree with so far. The rest read like "blast a musician you know very little about."

Springsteen always sounds like he's singing with his teeth wired shut. Good music, not great, but good.

I love Dylan's music, can't stand his voice. I actually prefer when anyone else performs his music.

My personal contribution to this list is Paul Simon. I think that he writes fantastic lyrics, but his voices has about a 4 note range and he sings almost completely monotone. My wife loves him, but I just can't stand to listen to his music. Again, I love hearing others perform his music.

Justin *&%*&%^(*^ Bieber.

I mean, REALLY.

I can listen 24/7 to Justin Timberlake before I can listen to one Bieber "song."

OK, that was a gimme.

seriously, I've always hated Styx. make me nauseous (that's true).

Most prog rock. At this time of year, 'Celtic' Xmas music and Mannheim Steamroller. 98% of country music recorded since 1975.

Nickelback?

Oh, wait - you said musicians. Scratch Nickelback.

I like Nicki Minaj's videos.

It's pop music for krisakes! I don't think you should have to know about the performers in order to evaluate their music.

"It sounded like crap the first time I heard it, but now that I know he was orphaned as a child, it sounds really good to me."

i know many who dont like bands i like for example
Fishbone

I was shopping for Korn t-shirts for my son, and saw they had a Fishbone t-shirt, and I am going to put that my xmas list. I have always regretted not buying the "Bone in the USA" tour shirt when I saw them with the peppers in the 80s.

I agree with most here that Bob Dylan is a great songwriter and a bad singer, but he doesn't belong on this list. Those that don't get Dylan may need to commit to a 3 month period in which they only listen to Dylan and then they can weigh in.

i still have my Fishbone F*CK RACISM t-shirt in bright red.

it's been reprinted, but mine's original. don't get to wear it out enough...
