Music that really GRATES on you

[Sethite]

I can't stand rap and techno, all this music with loud, rythmic blasts without melody.

[Lithos]

I agree with rap there.. Rythm without much melody I can take sometimes, but just rythm and someone talking crap? no thanks.

Were it not likely to be taken as a dismissive personal attack, I would say but two words.

Faithless - Insomnia.

That said, if you want a prime an example of techno that doesn't suck, nearly ANYTHING by the Basement Jaxx, or Hybrid.

Strangely enough, I'm not overtly fond of rap, but there's a few exceptions to the rule, one of which is more involved due to the pun and parody that resulted than the actual song itself.

then again, I DARE almost anyone here to NOT be entertained by White and Nerdy.

[Bayushi]

But I'm mostly addicted to soundtracks. Especially video game soundtracks. Anything ny nobou uematsu and harry gregorson-williams rocks my socks hard. Shadow of the Collossus had awesome music. And Suteki da ne is one of my favorite songs ever.
Love japanese music. Hate japanese people trying to sing in english music (aka, Utada's Exodus).
Yesh. And rap.

<3 ya, Kyou!  :-*

Anyways.....

I like a wide, WIDE variety of music. I listen to some metal, some rock(70's, mostly), house/techno/trance and the other assorted styles popularly referred to as 'Techno'. In addition, I have a particular love of good video game soundtracks.... especially those composed by Nobuo Uematsu(Final Fantasy, until X-2 made him leave Square-Enix).

What I can't stand is Rap, with a few exceptions(old Snoop Dogg was good stuff, as was Tupac). I also REVILE Country music..... moreso than Rap. I don't care for Opera, for the most part.....

Can't think of much else.

Red Alert is one of my all time favorite techno songs.

And, and... Carl Cox. And Deep Dish. And, and Ferry Corsten.

[RubySlippers]

Degrading Rap you know kill the police, do drugs, all women are whores etc. etc.

I don't mind sexy Rap that appreciates women or the like but some is soooo bad.

[Oniya]

Anything on the "Music of Faith" collections, particularly if accompanied by video of the crowd.  Nothing against hymns, either traditional or folk (I even learned the high harmony lines to several), but those particular collections creep me out.

[Caehlim]

Any song about how awesome the singer is, particularly bragging about their wealth, violent lifestyle or sexual proclivities.

Any song with more words in slang than conventional english (or whichever language I'm listening to).

"Flat" music, I need either a moving melody or a changing rhythym. The same repetative sound over and over again though doesn't appeal.

Combine these three and you basically get the genre of rap, so I'm extremely dubious about any rap music.

[Silence]

Any song by system of a down or there lead singer.. I can't stand them/him! When reading the title of this thread I thought of them, his voice grates my ears.  :-\

[Inkidu]

All metal
All country
All rap, most hip-hop

Yeah I don't like a lot of any popular music, nibble me. (Don't want to get bitten early in the morning.)
