So, now that the 'worst' category seems to be just about exhausted, what music is out there that, though it generally gets favourable responses from your friends and peers, from media that you trust, etc., that you just don't enjoy. I'm not talking here about stuff that just doesn't fit into a genre that is of no interest to you (i.e. I know nothing about rap, hiphop, new country, most new rock, so those aren't part of it). Here's my few easy to think of ones, being someone who listens to mostly improv and avant-jazz: 1) the Maneri family: Joe and Mat both grate on my nerves, though I've tried several times. I'll even expand that as far as many of the people they play with (such as Pandelis Karayorgis, Randy Peterson, etc...). 2) Joe Morris: he may even fit in the group above. I'm not generally a guitar fan, but Morris is pretty low on the list. 3) Dave Douglas: go ahead and jump all over me for his one, but I just don't care. I don't mind his playing in Masada, and thought there was some potential with Tiny Bell, though I haven't listened to either of those bands in quite a while now. Think the 2 string project albms I have were OK, but again its been a while, and I have no desire to pull them off the shelf. I've heard bits and pieces of most of his other albums, but have never been inspired to buy. 4) Toshimaru Nakamura: the whole electroacoustic thing has been growing on me over the past few years, but he (and the entire sine wave concept in general) is one I will never get. I'd rather have someone scratch at my eyes for an hour than try to listen to either of the two albums I have by him again (do and Weather Sky). 5) Kind of Blue: people constantly tell me how important this album is in the development of jazz. I don't care, it still bores me to death. I'd put tons of recordings by Mingus, Monk, Ellington, etc far above. So, what's on your list ?
