I’m sure some of you have some artists that are generally beloved by the music community but you just can’t stand them.
For me it is The Mars Volta. It should be right up my alley, I like a lot of similar music but I can’t get over the vocals. They sound so emo (which kinda makes sense, given the background of the vocalist) but to me it just does not fit the music at all.
Not trying to shit talk them, just wanting to share some hot takes.
The day I stopped trying to like Frank Zappa was a huge weight off my shoulders.
Zappa and Beefheart are both acts that I view as art first, music second. Yes, technically they made music, but it was in pursuit of artistry, to break the rules of music as an art form.
