February 17, 201610 yr Just in case ANY of you ARE EVEN THINKING about adding Beyonce to this list... Don't say that you haven't been warned... I'd have said that just a couple weeks ago. Then I saw the video for "Formation" and it was pure fire and I'm coming back around.
February 17, 201610 yr If Kanye West counts for this topic then he is my number 1. I'm a huge hip hop fan and have an endless library of songs. But after his first couple albums he's gone off the ledge. If we are talking actual singers then Celine Dion . If we are talking bands then it's U2. I still don't understand their popularity but apparently they are talented.
February 17, 201610 yr Never could understand the lure of Nirvana or Metallica. But I'm older and from a different generation. Maybe I don't have the ear for that kind of music. I've never liked rap, either. Just sounds like a lot of talking out rhymes with a heavy bass in the background. So I suppose its simply a generational thing. When I was a teenager my dad, who was born in 1914, couldn't understand why I thought the Beatles were better than Bluegrass or Hank Williams.
February 17, 201610 yr When I was 15-25 listened to nothing but rap and r&b but now over 40 never listen to rap anymore. Still have some boxes of back when I used to actually buy cd's, full of old school stuff Big Daddy Kane, Ice Cube, Ice T, Geto Boyz, and dozens more mixed in with some r&b like Maze & Frankie Beverly, Gerald Levert, etc. I should probably go sell them at a used store.

To paraphrase the immortal Mojo Nixon, the worst thing about the movie is that that horse-faced singer didn't go down with the ship.

You might have missed your window by a couple of years. Not many places left that will buy used CDs anymore.
