It's sad to say but probably the look. But seriously it's probably because Sigur Ros is more comercial.

And i don't understand the success of Led Zeppelin. I don't completely dislike their music but it's really badly produced and performed. |

I think a big appeal of Led Zeppelin is the general sloppiness. |

I agree with most everything you said here except I don't really know anything about Zappa, I like some occasional Sigur Ros, I love Kobaian, and the only person I know that listens to Blackmore's Night is 53, and a man.

I don't like Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, and I find that Gentle Giant's albums after "In a Glass House" are really lame.
There, I said it. |

Having thought about it, I don't like how overrated Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson in general are. I like The PT albums I have, but I don't think they're the greatest band to grace our ears in the last 20 years (or since the 70s). Having said that, I don't understand the hype surrounding Grace For Drowning, as I find the album to be too depressing, PT's recent albums are much better (and the early albums even more).

I dislike when people take a genre of music (or artist) and say "it all sounds the same." I mean it's one thing if you can back it up with real facts (all the songs by this artist start in the same key, or similar chord progressions, etc.) but usually it's just an excuse for them to slam on something they don't like and say their own favorites are superior. And it's lame.

Goes to show you how different two people who love similiar music can be. I don't like most PT ("Fear of a Blank Planet" is my favorite, though), but I like GfD a lot. |

I particularly dislike Peter Gabriel's singing.
There, just the favourite singer from this forum, and one among my very least favourites in prog. |

That's interesting but why don't you like his voice? And who's your favorite singer? |

There's not too many works I really dislike, but when I do, oh boy.
I'm really not to fond of Lumpy Gravy or Filmore East, June '71, both by Frank Zappa and both of which were flat out boring. The ideas in the former were done much better with We're Only In It For The Money and Uncle Meat and the latter with Overnite Sensation, Sheik Yerbouti and Joe's Garage. Mirror Man by Captain Beefheart. Really don't see why Lester Bangs thought this was much better than the live disc of Cream's Wheels Of Fire; at one point, Bangs said that the Magic Band's jamming was better and more varied than Cream's. I don't hear it. "Tarotplane" and "Mirror Man" drag just as much as the Fire versions of "Spoonful" and "Toad" and have just as little variation. I will admit that "Kandy Korn" is funny and "25th Century Quaker" is a decent foreshadowing of Can's minimalistic styled work, but the other two tracks I can do without, other than to show why Beefheart's songs weren't meant to pass the 10-mintue mark. More by Pink Floyd. Half the album is brillaint ("Main Theme", "Cirrus Minor", "NIle Song", "Ibiza Bar", "Green Is The Color", "Cymbaline"), while the other half is either inconsequential or, in the case of "Quicksilver", a total waste of time. Valleys Of Neptune by Jimi Hendrix. A subpar compilation of outtakes, especially when compared to First Rays Of The New Rising Sun and South Saturn Delta; in fact, the title track of Neptune could have just been put into one of the other two works. |

Thanks for the good laugh!! I disagree with some of what you said (I've always like Squire's bass sound, as a fellow plectrum-using, Rotosound-strumming Rick player) , but your comments on Kraut Rock are as true as mustard on bratwurst!

Cheers. I'm in deep love and left myself in astonishing awe when I hear Carl Thompson and Zon's sound, as far as bass is concerned. I can't stand Rickenbacker's, as you may imagine by now. I then believe my dislike towards Squire is related somehow to its bass, rather his technique. To be honest though all bassists that I love do not use pick at all. By the way, mustard reminds me of another group that I do not appreciate too much: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Matter_Custard

I like Greenslade.
I very much dislike Pentateuch of the Cosmogeny, which sounds like the incidental music from a children's drama series about silvery kids from outer space who come to Earth to set up a cosmic disco.

I think a good deal of bands from the same genre will sound the same at first. Like when an album grows on you, a genre can also grow on you because you start to notice the details and subtleties. When I heard Khan's "Space Shanty," I thought, "Ugh, this all sounds the same! Progressive rock is lame." Then it grew on me and I started listening to more progressive rock.

I haven't heard a single Power Metal band yet that I've liked, and I particularly dislike Nightwish and DragonForce.
I haven't heard a single rap/hip-hop artist yet that I've liked.
I dislike generic, washed-out modern r'n'b.
I dislike Dream Theater-style prog metal.
I dislike Gavin Harrison-era Porcupine Tree.
I like growled vocals.
I absolutely love having a baby boy at home.

I portray Power Metal guys and dolls as grown up rednecks (of any culture, race, colour, religion, height, weight, sexual inclination, doesn't matter) educated enough to play an instrument apart from door bells. Unfortunately, power metal is quite a strong wave in Finland and Germany, not particularly well renowned in the world for their, how can I put it to avoid ambiguity, sophisticated style. Try to imagine: mullet, flip flops plus white socks, low-quality shorts and undershirt German guy driving an overtuned second hand car listening to stratovarious. (no offense to Germans, I love them. I'm Italian...ok, that was a bad joke)
In my humble opinion (lie, but I try to be diplomatic as much as possible) there's one part in a billion that stands on the shoulders of giants: Arrested development. Do you know them? If not, give them a try. Profound lyrics, strong connection to their own culture, great respect for elders. Perhaps there exist many more out there. But hey, we're just human beings.
I thought it was illegal to play rnb in boreal hemisphere. I could be wrong.
