Yea, hate may be too strong a word but I think everyone understands that 'hate' in this context is shorthand for ones that you would be happy to miss :-)

I always say, and I think the sentiment is well represented by all in this thread, that I try to never say any music is good ar bad - simply that I dislike it or, on occasion, do not understand it. I am told that if I want to get more out of, for instance, Jazz, I need to work at undertanding the nuances. But I have turned 70, I know what I like already and there is enough of the style of music I like to last me the rest of my life so I am reluctant to spend whatever little time I have left in trying to get to grips with something I dislike!

Anyroads, back to the thread...
