Ditto, though I can do some contemporary jazz. Modern pop for the most part is on the list for me as well. I can do some artists: Adele, Coldplay, etc but the vast majority I cannot listen to at all: Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Train, Nicki Manaj.... I could go on and on and on... -
Heavy metal (all that shredding really annoys me) and this coming from a guy who used to love it. Much like a lot of "grunge" it's just noise.Dynavector DV20x2L MC cartridge - Genesis G7.1f speakers - Marantz Reference PM-KI-Pearl Int.

Ditto...+1 etc.Originally posted by JCOConnell View Post
Rap is totally lost on me. I tried listening to it for my kids sake some years ago but I kept waiting for the song to begin. I hear ripoffs of parts of great old R&R songs and then they start saying something that is angry/full of hate. Sorry but I like to enjoy my music and listening is a different type of thing with me, I guess.Life is analog...digital is just samples thereof.

Country. As in "my dog died, my car was stolen or broke down, my girlfriend left me" country. Not to be confused with Western Swing, which rocks!Comment

I like most genres from when they start, as in when the originators of the genre formed it. Then I get bored with the second and third generation of "we can do that too" musicians. Even within my favorite prog rock, I loved pretty much all the early bands from 60s and 70s, but not so much the later formulaic prog bands with their "we have a mellotron and just wrote some epic songs..."
Regardless of genre, I don't like boring music, derivative music, me-too music. It has to make me think, hit me emotionally, or at least make me want to listen. Otherwise it's just background noise.Steve Lefkowicz

"contemporary" (in its literal meaning) jazz artists are currently playing and recording all the commonly recognized variants of jazz; bebop, post-bop, hard bop, avant-garde, free jazz, big band, Dixieland, etc. Perhaps you mean "smooth jazz", a la Kenny G.?Modwright Oppo 205 full tube mod
