There are several genres of music I hate as well, like indie/alternative rock, and I'm extremely selective with hip-hop, as most of the albums I've heard from the genre I found mostly dull and uninteresting. As for the FYCs I listed, they were mostly from the black metal genre, which is definitely not for everyone and the hip-hop and rock albums I listed are, mostly, not easy albums to get into. I'm definitely a fan of more bizzare/experimental stuff.

But still not much. I'm just not a fan of stuff that isn't... nice? All of this rock and hip hop and metal tends towards being aggressive, and I don't enjoy that.

Heaven knows that these other FYCs (from everyone) are giving me cancer. People who hate hip-hop are so goddamn lame. It's such a cliche at this point. Saying "I hate hip-hop" is the same vacuous blanket statement as saying "I hate poetry." Anyway, I'll be posting a Top 10 FYI later on, and it'll be mostly Hip-Hop cuz it's my favorite genre, but I'll definitely have at least a few rock ones and maybe even 1 country.

I hate crap hip hop. If 99.9999% of hip hop is crap, that ain't my fault. I hate most rock too. And most country. Although folk is my favorite genre, I tend to dislike most folk as well.

"99.9999% of hip hop is crap" is the most fucking braindead statement you've EVER made on these boards, so kudos for topping yourself. You should make that your signature. 😆

Gonna do a write-up for one or two of my favorites. I wasn't raised to love music. Perhaps that's why I'm so adverse to many of the more popular musicians that so often get mentioned by others: I've had to find my own way, having never heard the classic albums of the Beatles or Bob Dylan or Queen or whatever else is out there. In my house, music was almost nonexistent. I honestly cannot recall anything other than hymns being sung in my house, and those were usually desultory affairs, chosen by my father (there are plenty of good hymns, but he only likes the most boring ones). The idea of music as "expression" was something I laughed at. People putting words and notes together to let loose something in their hearts was silly, Hollywood drivel. When I did start searching out music a few years ago (I'm thinking only four years or so have passed), I was drawn to jazz, with its innovative rhythmic structures and seemingly "for the heck of it" daring, and for being the one genre that frequently utilized the lovely saxophone. Dave Brubeck playing around with time signatures made me laugh in glee, Kind of Blue could soothe me with its horns. The next genre that I would truly delve into - indeed, it has become my musical love - is folk. Not whiny protest song folk, but the traditional ballads of Anne Briggs and Martin Carthy and the soul-baring intimacy of Jackson C. Frank (who I just discovered around a month back) and Vashti Bunyan. And the music of Sibylle Baier. "Dear friend I'm lonesome Dear friend I've been well How do you spell your name? The city has changed me I'm no longer the same..."COLOUR GREEN by Sibylle BaierBaier was a German actress, playing bit parts in Wim Wenders movies like Alice in the Cities, before she quit the job, got married and moved to New York, getting a job as (I think) a waitress. Sometimes, after work, she'd go into the basement and record a song that she'd written, just her and a guitar and a reel-to-reel recorder. Around 2005, her son compiled some of these and handed them out to friends. To shorten the story to its essentials, one of the friends was with Dinosaur Jr and asked Sibylle for permission to bring her songs to a publisher, and so this album was born. That's important to note: these songs were never meant to be heard. They were her own thoughts made into words and music, meant for nobody but herself or her family. They are intimate as a secret diary, putting the pains and joys in her soul onto a page for us to understand. There is nothing especially virtuoso about her playing or her singing. Nothing here is intended to impress. It's simply an expression of who she is, and what she feels. "I lost something in the hills" cries one of her songs, a poem of grief for experiences never had. At others, she playfully sings about her friend Wim Wenders (in "Wim") or her two children (in "Softly"). There are love songs ("Tonight," "William," "Forgett"), of course. Less pleasant songs about coldness and pain, as well. Actually, they all are, if you get down to it. But perhaps, more than anything, the songs show the joy of expressing herself, of finding an avenue that allows her to put her being into words. There are many songs of heartache and loss, but this one is hers. Hers alone. " Did you ever drive in a moonstruck constitution And find to reach a seaport and down there is a solution? You should If you could."All of it put together is a shattering, personal work. Although it was all recorded in the early 70s, it was first heard by public ears in 2006. It is very possibly the best album of the decade, imho. Few others have ever spoken to me so closely, or shown me how liberating music can be.

But I respect the opinion, Volta's got some bangers on it. oh believe me both made my lineups. I just love the explosive and anxious energy on Volta. It's one of her most captivating albums to me (only second to Biophilia IMO) and I never understood why it's so underrated.
