that while I’ve played and listened to a wide variety of music over the years, I’ve never
personally expressed my likes/dislike for certain music on TuneBox TV (probably
because playing in a band, being a DJ and going to numerous festivals has given
me an appreciation I wouldn’t have had). Nevertheless, my friend and I recently discussed which
sounds grated on us and he came up with this list (I’ve added ‘me’ in brackets
for where I agree):
- Lady Gaga
- Justin Bieber
- One direction
- Taylor Swift
- Katy Perry
- Rihanna

I must
agree with my friend (as well as with the above list) and say that today’s pop is mostly bland autotuned
rubbish.
sorrows (which doesn’t happen often). Ultimately, I find all the songs sound the same. Anything else I’ll give it a chance. I’m even getting into music featuring harp
in it.
the chords and melody doesn’t lend itself well to being played on an instrument, especially guitar.
I'm pure rock myself brought up on Red Hot Chilli peppers and Smashing Pumpkins, and can't stand any pop or rap for that matter – very one dimensional and the lyrics are always the same (money, women etc)
Don't know about country although I doubt I could get into anything that goes on about loneliness and 'broken hearts'.
