To break the monotony of the media rushing to make fools of themselves over the Marathon bombing story I thought I'd bring up a subject that got me thinking earlier today while listening to a classic rock station instead of my usual talk show selection.
I lived through the 70's explosion of hard rock music and although some of it still gets me rocking in my own geriatric way. I thought I'd ask if anyone here had bands that were popular that they never liked, or/and still don't care to hear.

That is the true test, isn`t it? How quickly do you change the station when you hear a band you hate?
I have bloodied my knuckles a few time trying to eradicate Nickleback from the radio.

I've always preferred the classic full album efforts that provided several hits in one package. They seem to endure and still give me something to enjoy (along with memories of good times).
Zeppelin 1 & 2, Eagles - One of these Nights, Elton John - Yellow Brick Road, Allman Bros - Eat a Peach, CSNY - Deja Vu, Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus and of course Dark Side of the Moon were full album efforts that I think will always endure.
I still like a lot of Robin Trower's solo efforts and the early reformed Fleetwood Mac album Rumors.
(to name a few)

Meh, all of them had some contributions to good music.
Favorites?
Maybe not, but still some memorable songs.

And to think New Jersey governor Chris Christie was moved to tears when he met Springsteen for the first time after Hurricane Sandy.
As for me ... I was more disturbed that Christie had seen "the Boss" in concert something like 120 times. LOL.

A local station here has “No Nickelback Friday). It’s a start.

Nirvana, another band I just never got....The thing is, The Foo Fighters are a much better band, IMHO.

Not a big ELO fan but I do crank up “Do Ya” when it comes on the radio.

Not a big ELO fan but I do crank up Do Ya when it comes on the radio. The original version Jeff did with "The Move" was better.

You're just a youngster.I came of age during the greatest decade (musically speaking) ever...the 1960’s.To me the 70’s were just one huge wasteland for music.But to each his own I guess.

Somebody I know put up a link on Fakebook to your favorite’s Niemen’s prog rock piece from 1970s. What a waste.

I can't think of any band that I don't at least like one song that they did except...
The Grateful Dead.
I know it is sacrilege to criticize Jerry Garcia...but they absolutely made my eyes cross.

For some reason, every time I see the ELO logo, I think about OLEO.

A lot of people think ELO is disco, when it’s actually “discoesque”. Try listening to “fire on high” sometime.
