    and other people who liked this also liked :P

    beats 1 and "for you" :/

  • Whatever merit this question has as an intellectual exercise (and it certainly has some) is outweighed by its potential to put distance between us. I'm sure that's not the intent. Still, I'd rather see us nourish the encouraging and open-minded spirit that drew me to this forum.

  • [insert pop country artist here]
    [insert nu metal band here]
    [insert any "-core" band here]

  • Bon Iver

    The Dave Matthews Band

    Maroon 5

  • That’s interesting, yes, Maroon 5, same here.

    I think I can clarify what this is all aiming at. It’s not at all about people you dislike (or hate etc). It’s people who are skilled, worthy, successful, etc. But this is the bit I can clarify: they have no message for you. (they might to other people, otherwise people would not buy their product and they’d be unknown).

    Yep, that’s the ingredient. Whatever they’re saying (in the musical style, the lyrics, the feel, the look, etc) they’re effectively saying it to someone else. As far as you’re concerned, there isn’t a communication, and there perhaps should be (i.e., it’s not a genre you’re mismatched to, it’s not a generation you’re inappropriate to, it’s not a language you don’t understand, etc. everything should indeed be a good fit, except for that one thing).

  • @u0421793 except for that one thing! :)

    Everything sounds just about the same with random band/dj names...

  • Steely Dan is the one the comes to mind for me. For the most part, I can hear what people rave about but I just don't get it. They do absolutely nothing for me.

    I'm with most others here: most music moves me one way or the other and if doesn't, I don't usually know who is performing it, making this thread difficult to respond to.

    The are a billion pop stars that also do nothing for me. Some of these pain me though because I know they could. I hear these unbelievably powerful angelic voices singing music that (to me) is the equivalent of dollar menu hamburgers. When I hear a vocalist like Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5 guy... I just wonder what would it be like if they were paired with great song writers like Carol King.

    Also, I don't think this is intended as a 'negative' thread. Thought so at first but the discussion around the replies clearly indicates otherwise.

    Think I've also come to find that most anyone who has managed to sell enough records where they stand a chance to be in my earshot almost always has redeeming qualities.

    I like Boston, Kansas ans Styx

    Funnily enough, Boston wasn’t originally a band, it was one person Tom Sholz (I think that’s the spelling?) who recorded, sang, created electronics, played, overdubbed and overdubbed and overdubbed in his own house, until “More than a feeling” was a reality. All the while he was working for Polaroid. Then the demo track got a record deal. Then there was an album. Then they toured. So, then there had to be a band! Interesting person, though — he also is responsible for the “Rockman” line of gear and company.

  • Umm pick three at random?

    I admire Steely Dan. Fell in love to 'Dirty Work'. But I don't believe them. I didn't believe the girl in the end either...'nother story etc.

  • I remember listening to one of Jello Biafra's speeches in the 80s, where he described a future where music would be churned out by corporations, where an artist is only the front-facing representative of a brand, and that brand would be interwoven into the fabric of consumerism so tightly so as to sell any product or lifestyle as the top desires.

    I simply couldn't believe what i was hearing, with all the great bands i knew of back then, how could the world wind up like that? Well, flash forward 30 years and i think we're there. I don't pay too much attention to it, and stick to what i love.

    All rappers (that's probably more than three, but I can't be bothered to find out...)

    +1. All rap music. It has absolutely no connection musically or lyrically with any part of my life.

  • @monzo,

    You heard the Sleaford Mods ? I'm sure it isn't 'rap' in any shape or form, but he certainly raps out some fierce wordage !

    Back to the original subject, I won't make a list here as it would be too long...

    Yeah, I do quite like them ;) Rather than dismissing the whole genre, I guess it's the more 'traditional' type of rap I don't connect with - as a middle aged hippy living in remote Wales, I don't have much call for chunky jewellery and bitches, and my car doesn't go up and down on its suspension. I don't wear a baseball cap or trainers, and if I was to turn up at a rap gig in my Hawkwind t-shirt I'd probably be laughed out of the venue. To be fair though it's not really aimed at me.

    I hate that gangsta shit too. There are some groups that don't have that attitude. Sometimes rap works in the bridge of a song in a different genre.

  • I like Gil Scott Heron a lot ... but I guess he's not rap by modern standards. Grandmaster Flash was pretty cool too. But I cannot relate to any post '90s rap. It seemed intelligence flew out the window once it hit the bigtime. Public Enemy were the pinnacle of political rap and made some powerful statements, but it's not something I could listen to on a daily basis. I guess I'm a notes guy at heart, not a lyrics guy.

  • I loved rap music in the late 80s and early 90s before the gangster rap came in. Biz Markie, De La Soul, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Beastie Boys, Kool Keith, House of Pain, Guru (Jazzmataz),Large Professor etc. Sad that most of you only relate rap music to gangster rap.

  • It's still not really a good question. I love a lot of different music. I can find things to listen to in just about any style - I have found things to enjoy in rock, metal, jazz, blues, acoustic fingerstyle, classical, etc., etc. Bands I really dislike speak to me in a different way, but I still get something out of them, because it shows stuff I don't want to do.

    But stuff that just doesn't speak to me at all is all over the place, and has been since I first started to listen to music. Sometimes it's just the interpretation. Dobie Gray's "Drift Away" was/is one of those songs that just picks me up and takes me somewhere. But I have heard way too many bland/dull versions of it. So is it a great piece of music? Debateable. Influence? I learned that how it's performed/recorded is just as important, if not more important, than the music itself in some cases.

    Mainly because people keep answering a different question as opposed to this one. I mean, if you don’t like rap, gangsta or otherwise, then you’re probably not going to listen to a lot of it and won’t discriminate one from another. If you’re not listening to any of it, then how can it not convey a message you were led to believe by your peers or class or demographic that they thought it should? It won’t communicate at all if you’re not listening to it, and you won’t listen to it because you don’t like it, and that disqualifies it as a potential answer to this question.

    No, the question was "What three musician/bands have no impact because they “say nothing to me about my life”?"

    Based on that, I could list at least three rap artists/bands that qualify, because they "say nothing to me about my life”

    I get to hear this stuff in pubs, cafés, TV ads, radio etc. etc. whether I want to hear it or not. I can't relate to it at all, so I'm hardly going to go and buy the work of all the top rap artists just to provide a thorough report on which ones I like least.

  • whoever is in Manheim Steamroller- because of them whenever I try to listen to some J Schmoelling era Tangerine Dream - my wife says "turn that Manheim Steamroller crap off!"

  • i can't remember which 3 musicians said nothing to me about my life because they had no impact on me and thus i do not remember them

    Public Enemy was another great band from the pre gangsta era.

  • Speaking of gangsta rap there's a big budget movie coming out next week about NWA.
