Because the music sucks?  It's power chords and hair spray and 'anthems' that everyone can hold a lighter up in the air to or put a fist up to rock out.  And it's all cheese.  Phony.  Music for people who have milquetoast tastes and want to appear hip or dangerous.  It's lucrative as hell, which makes my opinions look like snobbery, because if there's that much money to be made, SOMEone has to be enjoying and paying for it.  It just sounds like muzak to me.  And who likes THAT?!

I don't mind being called a music snob; Bon Jovi is objectively, demonstrably shit.

True, but, my initial sentence still works. ;)

A lot of people say that about a lot of the industrial / techno / dubstep stuff I like to listen to on occasion.

Typically if it's a good song, or at least something I like I'll listen to it repeatedly. Lately for me has been various versions of The Gael and Bowie's Starman

I have an extremely eclectic taste in music...from classical to punk to rock to house to motown and specific era's - 60's, 70's and 80's particularly.

I don't think there's ever been any one artist or group I liked everything they did - but I'd be surprised if I ever found an artist who's not done at least one song I would like.

Sometimes it's the words, sometimes it's the performance and sometimes (mostly) it's the music.

An example is my listening to Nena Live '98...a German artist singing in German. I have absolutely no idea what she's singing, but the music is fantastic and I love the German accent. Was hast du in meinem Traum gemacht? and Dann fiel mir auf being two of my favs   :)

As I grow older, I find myself looking for new stuff to listen to.  But some bands/genres I've listened to for so long that I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to anymore.  And some I had very little tolerance for to begin with.  Generally though, I am with you on being able to find at least one song or representative of a genre that I can like.

Those power ballads and poser rock was all they would play on the radio in the 80's and all the girls liked that shit. In my area metal was Saturday night from 12:00 - 3:00 am on a show called metal shop, 3 hours a week otherwise you had to own the music. i believe if i remember right MTV had late hours for metal music also. I've widen my taste over the years but some things I just cant do and dubstep,disco,country and Bon Jovi are 4 of them :knuppel2: In my house my lady listens to country, my little girl listens to pop, my youngest boy listens to dubstep and even tries to make his own stuff and my oldest boy will at least throw a metal song out every now and then but he likes dubstep too........WHO ARE THESE KIDS ;D .....
