Oh yeah... I HATE the Beatles. I'll change the station almost every single time. I wasn't even that impressed with them while high on drugs. I really do consider them to be the ultimate bubble gum band. Absolutely forgettable. I honestly have no idea why people still listen to them. 

The big irony is most of the musicians or groups that I like are either British, based in Britain, or include a Brit. It's the most common thread in my tastes. 

I saw Stoopid live a few years back and I've never seen a more versatile group. They played at least an hour and about every 3 or 4 songs these guys would trade instruments and play a completely different genre of music. 


One of my friends will only listen to 60s jazz. He thinks all music that contain lyrics is over-rated. I vehemently disagree.
Somehow we have remained friends for five decades...

I saw and heard Bill Weir and what remains of The Dead (the two drummers) on TV last week, and omg was he awful. Can’t sing to save his life, and neither could Jerry Garcia. I kinda liked the first three Dead albums at the time of their release, but when they, like everyone else (especially Neil Young), tried to be The Band (whose first two albums raised the bar SO high, and actually changed the rules of the game)---which is exactly what Workingman’s Dead is, they failed miserably. Bill performed "Uncle John’s Band", and it was absolutely atrocious---unlistenable!
Preferences in music have to do with the listener, not the music listened to. There is only what your reflection tells you, not the projected image itself. The definition is inconstant, as it cannot be defined, only averaged.

In this place called reality, this holographic dimensional space, objectivity cannot exist, and does not, by all scientific measure. Objectivity is a subjective mindset, nothing more. Music, by that fundamental reference, is purely a subjective and personal reflection, and is never about the music itself, and only about the listener.
