Mislead hate for Musicians!

[Nazulu]

Back in my teen years I used to listen to bands like Offspring and Silver Chair, basically the modern music that was popular at the time and for some reason I just refused to listen to classic rock and pop music. I think I just thought since it is old it couldn't be as good but one day I accidently tuned the radio to Gold FM and Paranoid from Black Sabbath came on, I never heard a song as awesome as that and it was like a whole new world opened up to me!

I also disliked KISS, Dio, Michael Jackson and Bob Dylan just because my Dad didn't like them but then I gave them a chance and they are amazing.

So my question is, have you ever hated a musician for watever reason then discovered later on that you actually like their music? How could you just hate a musicians music anyway? They are just making a living creating songs for a particular audience!

(Please do not go on about music you hate, this a thread about something you used to avoid and thats it!)

I'm guilty of that too, But not for oldies or old rock but for hip hop. I grew up in a metal head/punk life style. I met guy who introduced to me a side of hip hop i never knew and now I love the stuff.

When I was younger I didnt like Marilyn Manson. I hadnt heard any of his music but I'd heard from other people that he was a freak and a horrible man but when I listened to his music I loved it,and after looking at some of his interviews I saw he was a really intelligent guy.

When I was about 10 or so, I could listen to Metallica and Ozzy without any real problems, but I totally hated bands that used growling as vocals.

On reflection now, 8 years later, I suppose it was my religious state of mind.

Now, having left the church after seeing what christianity really is (no offence there to anyone), I listen to pretty much every metal band there is, as long as the music's good.

I try not to stick with just one genre though - I still listen to other stuff like The Eagles and various orchestral tracks. However, I've yet to find a single hip-hop or rap song that I was able to like. I don't hate the genre per se, I just hate the the current artists. Some songs do have enjoyable sections, however let down by the rest of the song.

Do you mean screamo singers Like in Avenged Sevenfold and Trivium?

I am not big on Hip-Hop but the first rap song I ever heard is Gangsters Paradise which is what got me into the genre, ever heard that song before?

Summed up my musical taste nicely.

I have broadened my musical palette, as it were. Of late I started listening to artists like Saritah and The Waifs, very melodical and light.. strange mix of blues and country. I would normally only ever listen to music with a heavy rhythm or base section (drummer and a tuba player.. can you really blame me?).

And since I started playing in a Jazz orchestra I've gotten hooked on it. I never hated it before just never got into it. But after playing it and understanding the composition, awww insanely good stuff.

I have never given jazz a chance, could you possibly recommend a jazz artist you like?

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I listen (And have always listened) to a wde variety of music, excluding Emo and most rap. I guess I could put classical down, but I never really hated it. I never got into it too much either

 

[cleverlymadeup]

i've never really had it happen to me, i've had music i have liked but never been a big fan of but not that i hated and then not liked.

the music i've disliked for a while is still music i dislike and will never like

 

[mattttherman3]

I hate Hannah Montana/Miley cyrus and the Jones Brothers. LONG LIVE METALICA

John Coltrane and Miles Davis are a good place to start.

 

[Fightgarr]

I used to dislike classical because it was "boring people music", god I was an idiot.

 

[JokerGrin]

Not hate at all, but at some point I decided that most non-metal/not fast'n'heavy music completely boring and pointless. Since picking up the guitar (and playing it badly, still) I really learnt to appreciate how much skill and hard work goes into making music.

Take classical. I can't write one song for one instrument. How the hell could I ever organise an entire orchestra?? That's talent if you ask me.

there is also Al Di Meola and Stanley Clarke and also to give a local person for the Escapist i'll say Branford Marsalis as well, tho Wynton is pretty good too

 

[wewontdie11]

I've always tried to be open to different music since I first sneered at Daft Punk before realising how mind-bendingly awesome they are. I try to at least give everything a chance now.

 

[TheSteeleStrap]

I never liked Marilyn Manson, initially. But, after seeing some interviews... He's a bright guy and used his business major to great success, marketing himself. Then I realized it wasn't Manson that I disliked, but his consumer base.

Yes Manson is a very intelliteg guy. You are right on with that one.

 

[||| BAM |||]

I hated rap but then i realized that some stuff i listened to was rap so i like some rap i guess.

 

[sequio]

I remember REM bashing in my earlier years, but now i realized how stupid it was because I would listen to their songs all the time. I called them ex-lax hippies.

 

[Isaac Dodgson]

As a younger teen I used to hate oldies, mostly because my parents listened to them, and how could they of all people have good taste, you know? Anyway I classic rock is one of my favorite genre's now... Sans KISS and Wacko Jacko... Both just suck IMO
