Artists You're "Supposed To Be Into" But Just Don't Care About That Much

@richbdd
You should be asking him this.

@Raf
To each their own.
No judgements here.

 

Off the top of my head...

Talking Heads
Velvet Underground/Lou Reed
Todd Rundgren
Grateful Dead
Bruce Springsteen
U2
The Band
Guns 'n' Roses
Tom Morello
...

 

493rd on the list.

 

I like The Lamb a good deal but think "Moribund the Burgermeister" is an awful way to open my otherwise favorite PG album. You can start listening from "Solsbury Hill" and it still holds up.

 

Agree on almost all of these. Do you like the 60s Stones?

 

The Beatles
Bob Dylan
U2

 

Spitzenklasse!

 

What did Jimmy do??

 

Got away with it.

 

Not particularly. I'm not a 60s fan. Pretty much every artist from the 60s that I like, except for the Kinks, I like better in the 70s. I really like Sticky Fingers, that's a great one. But though I recognize that Let It Bleed (a 60s Stones album I like) and Exile and Some Girls are full of great songs, I'm never moved to put those on.

 

I'm a post punk fan but I can't stand The Fall

 

90s Brit pop.
I don't like a single band.
Suede are overwrought and cringeworthy

 

The Beatles are in the list.

 

Suede really had something though, but in the end Bowie and Smiths were the real thing..

 

You were "supposed to be into" Charles Manson? LOL is your real name Squeaky?

We were supposed to be into David Koresh

 

Funny that really, 'cause I don't find The Lamb that bad in my book .
I admit though that I never really managed to actually enjoy most of Gabriel's solo works, I prefer his time with Genesis.

 

The whole Jack White thing eludes me... Not only do I not get it, I don't care. And please don't try to school me on it or convince me, I really just don't care that I don't get it.

 

We're definitely different on that then. Perhaps complete opposites concerning Peter Gabriel work.

I think there's more Genesis music that I should like, but I heard the wrong songs/albums first and it put me off.

I think that Up has some of PG's best ever work. I really like songs like Growing Up and More Than This.

 

I agree, but I never listen to the album as an album. I love most of the songs when they pop up on "PG random play" on my phone.

 

90s US rock. Underwrought and cringeworthy

 

Nope. Hates them, too. They're on the list.
Appears to be down with Florida Georgia Line, Ice-T and Lady Gaga, though...

D.D.

 

and ASIA. They clearly like good melodic pop.

 

Why is this even a thread topic?
It's ridiculous to worry about liking -or NOT liking- a band or artist.
Who cares?

 

I think everyone gets a kick out of raising your old geezer anger. That's it

 

Not sure how to read the question, but it could apply to all my favorite artists. Because actually I don't see myself as a fan of artists but as a fan of music. Thus, I just care about those albums I like and don't need to collect every release by a given artist. Of course, I have more albums by some artists in comparison to others, but I'm not a completist in any case.
