Popular music artists you're just not into
Well I did the movie version of this thread so I might as well try the music version. :biggrin:
I'd have to preface this with the fact that I'm not really into music all that much in the first place. It's not that I don't like music. I do have an MP3 player and also a few dozen CDs still, but the only time I really listen to music is while I'm driving. Even then I'm usually content to listen to whatever happens to come on the radio.
A lot of times though, I'll listen more to "talk" radio. Sports talk on an AM station, comedy channels on XM, morning shows like Bob and Tom where they talk more than they play music.
My MP3 player has about 100 songs on it and I've been adding to it but I really struggle to find songs I like enough to put on it. I'll listen to it at work sometimes.
I can count the number of concerts I've been to on one hand and that includes seeing Weird Al on 3 separate occasions. I'm also not including the numerous times I've seen one particular band at fairs/carnivals during the summer.
So all that being said, I would define my list by the artists that I don't actually own any songs of. It's not that I don't listen to their music sometimes. I've just never put the effort out to buy one of their albums or put any of their songs on my MP3 player. There are only a few artists that I actively dislike and avoid.

*I actually like 2 of their songs. "Blvd of Broken Dreams" and "When September Ends", but if any of their other songs come on, I change the station.
**The only song I really know by them is Stairway to Heaven. I actually have the CD with that song but I couldn't tell you any of the other songs on it.
***I actually do like a lot of their music, I've just never actually owned any of it. Not really sure why.
OK, commence the lynching.
