Artist you just don't get the appeal?

[PantherPaul]

Lets take this a little further. I started with Eminem as a current artist I just don't understand the appeal. Who else is famous but you just don't get the mass appeal. I never liked Bob Dylan and he is widely considered a musical genius. I think he is a whiney bastard. Neil Diamond is another.

 

[SandMan]

Well you beat me to Neil Diamond... here are a few more to add to the list...

- Barbara Strisand (sp)
- Any Country Stars (Except the hot babes)

Celine Dion
NSync/Backdoor Boys
Britney Spears

alice cooper, that isn't even music is it?

 

[TW1GGY]

now Alice Cooper I understand. His following was more than his music. For the time he really pushed people a different way to think about music. "Shock Rock" is kind of like a horror movie on stage. Even if you don't like his music you just have to understand how diffrenent of an approach he had to music making. He made the way for band like Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Rob Zombie and many other bands that like to shock you. And no matter what anybody else says "It's all just a show"..

A band I never understood the hype from was the Clash. I just am not a big fan of their style of punk.. Just can't ever get into them.

System of a Down

I never thought they would make it big. They are too quirky, different, and heavy for the radio crowd to pick up on. However, I am now sick of the two releases off of Toxicity. I wanted them to be huge underground and be my band that no one else knows. But oh well...

 

[magnus]

actually, that's why I like what I do like of System.
Straight metal bores me to no end.
I adore Zappa.
