Queen. Some of the hits are okay but I've never felt the urge to buy an album.

Michael Jackson. If he comes on the radio then I turn it off.

Bob Dylan. his voice just grates in my ears.

Leonard Cohen - see Bob Dylan

The Rolling Stones. Really tried but just do not like them.

I’m a big Rush fan. It’s not just the music. Neil Peart’s lyrics are sometimes very profound. Three incredible musicians including a first-class lyricist.

I get the Queen one. I was in a UK wide tribute band for a number of years and it really beat out of me the already minuscule amount of interest I had. A rock pantomime.

Michael Jackson & Bob - wash your mouth out :grin:

I never tried to like Queen - why would anyone want to cross Status Quo with opera?

Slade were great.

When I was 7.

But not as good as The Partridge Family.

My tastes are wide and varied. But it is an eye-opener to look at which artists I've been avoiding through the years:

Rod Stewart
John Lennon (post Beatles)
Creedence
Grateful Dead
Judas Priest
Sex Pistols
Elvis
Elvis Costello (post Attractions)

Could turn out to be a long list ....
