Sorry if starting this thread upset a few people.

I see it as a kind of 'safety valve' - a space to admit that sometimes you just don't respond to things that the prevailing consensus regards as unimpeachably marvellous. It's not about vitriolic attacks on the objects of your dislike - and happily nobody has gone down that route.

And sometimes there are qualifying clauses.....I can't just listen to flamenco, for example, but it makes sense and can be wonderful when you see it performed live. On a disc it's just too much wailing.

But saying this (like all these choices) says more about me that the thing disliked.
