July 26, 20197 yr The first two that popped into my head: Celine Dion, Sam Smith, Barry Gibb, Bono, Kid Rock, Don Henley/The Eagles, Pink, Bret Michaels, Billy Joe Armstrong....yeesh I could go on. Realistically, you can add most anyone who has been on the MTV Video Music Awards in the last 20 years or so, or anyone who's ever been or the CMT Music Awards.

You can't stand any popular singers. :bunny:
July 26, 20197 yr I have a tendency to agree with CWB. For me, it's a dislike of particular genres of music, not individual singers.
July 26, 20197 yr Just go ahead and say it. You can't stand any popular singers. :bunny: I know people think that's the case with me, but it really isn't true.
July 26, 20197 yr The lead singer chick for Sleater-Kinney gets on my last nerve. A co-worker of mine used to love them and play them all the time...drove me nuts. While I really like the Smashing Pumpkin’s first album for the drive of the music, I agree with @rjs4470 that Billy Corgon is not pleasant to listen to with his whiney voice. While I like one or two of their songs, generally I can’t stand the Red Hot Chili Peppers. David Lee Roth gets on my nerves, and while I liked Sammy Hagar in his early days, I couldn’t stand his VH crap. I can’t stand Michael McDonald’s voice from the Doobie brothers (for example “What a fool believes”)...it’s just weird, however I do like a handful of the DB’s tunes. While I respect Joni Mitchell for some of her songs, her habit of stretching a note in her jazzy way makes me cringe. While she’s really only famous for one tune “Poetry Man”, Phoebe Snow’s voice makes me run to grab the barf bag. Something about her voice makes weird tingles crawl up my back in a disturbing way. I’ve come to handle her more the more I listen, but I’ve always had trouble with Janis Joplin’s raw way of singing. Helen Reddy just sounds goofy to me the way she sings in her snazzy way. Tom Waits, are you freaking kidding me? He is another level of annoying and disturbing. That’s all that I can think of for now, but I’m sure there’s many more. Edited July 26, 20197 yr by B-Ball-fan
July 26, 20197 yr I'm a big believer in the principle that "People like what they like"... ...but I'm pretty sure some of y'all just hate to hate.

So you don't like main stream music is what you're saying... You're probably a craft beer snob too, aren't you? :lol2:
July 26, 20197 yr Garth Brooks always tops this list for me, with Nirvana close behind. I know they aren't a band anymore, but I never got into them, even though 90's Alternative Rock is in my wheelhouse.
July 26, 20197 yr John Cougar Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen Bruce is #1 on my wife’s list. She cannot stand anything Springsteen has ever done.

The Captain and Me (album) was stellar throughout.
