Name some that you've made every attempt at liking but they just seem to let you down over and over again.
I'd have to say the Beatles are my main one, I've even gone so far as to buy four or five of their records but I can't make it through any of'em. |

------------------------------------------------------------------------"Ladies and Gentlemen.......from Los Angeles California....
...The Doors(((
I wanna tell you ’bout texas radio and the big beat
Comes out of the virginia swamps
Cool and slow with plenty of precision
With a back beat narrow and hard to master
Some call it heavenly in it’s brilliance
Others, mean and ruthful of the western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
This is the land where the pharaoh died
The negroes in the forest brightly feathered
They are saying, forget the night
Live with us in forests of azure
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned - immaculate.
Listen to this, and I’ll tell you ’bout the heartache
I’ll tell you ’bout the heartache and the loss of god
I’ll tell you ’bout the hopeless night
The meager food for souls forgot
I’ll tell you ’bout the maiden with raw iron soul
I’ll tell you this

That's because Val Kilmer is an ass.
I do like jazz/blues so something like Roadhouse Blues is good to me.

Saw a tiny bit of that (and the documentary before it), I just saw a bit with Jack Bruce singing, and I couldn't tell if it was a Cream reunion or a Jack Bruce concert!
I saw about an hour. I think Eric Clapton's a great guitarist (by my standards) but he didn't half let me know. I much prefer to watch and listen to Jimi Hendrix.
(ha! just turned the channel over and Eric's still off on one) |

Right, like you guys could come up with the line "I am the lizard king, I can do anything" on your own.
Morrison was basically a happy drunk with a microphone. Although I always thought it was admirable how Ray Manzerik did the bass with one hand and regular keys with the other.

Yeah, I've always thought of the doors as a second-rate blues band with a third-rate poet for a singer.

the problem on the jamming is how you do it... think of jazz there a millons of jazz mens but only a few are knowns cos of their inspiration or creative way to do it.
When a jam session begains start a dialog a comunication between the "jammers" they are talkig all the time about good things, bad things, they fight, they find friendly melodys to follow, and that is all about. Bad Jammings are those which play to an audience, depending on them, they dont care about the "internal music commuinication".

yeah, pretty much any band that makes "jamming" a part of their stage show is a lost cause for me. I saw the dead back in the eighties with Dylan and Tom Petty. They opened the show, and half the crowd walked out when they finished. lol, buncha stoner deadheads.

Definitely the Grateful Dead. I tried, I really did. My older brother was way into them at one point but even as a kid I always kind of thought/knew,"This is just some formless dicking around on guitar."
Their video for "Touch of Grey" was pretty cool though. |

I felt a little sorry for the drummer having to keep the beat going for what seemed like an age, and having to listen to that noise as well. |

K did you just know that off the top of your head?
Mike's quite the metalhead so yes he's going to brag about it every chance he gets.
Way back in the day I dragged him to a Weezer concert in Calgary.
And that first bassist they had was talking about brushing up on his Canadiana by buying some Rush and Voivod albums. They kept playing little Rush or Voivod riffs.
It made Mike's night worthwhile to say the least.

I'm aware that I am a frowned upon minority when I say that I actually enjoy New Order a lot more than Joy Division. I haven't figured out what it is about Joy Division that does it for so many people.
I've never really gotten into Husker Du either. They're just not anything I'm particularly interested in; the songs don't really strike me and I don't like the sound of the recordings.
I've never been all that astounded by Fugazi.
