Pea and Gramma pretty much have opposite tastes in music, so you would have to start with a short list of bands they can agree on.

Then you have curveballs like Sleigh Bells, who HG should hate and should be my all time favorite band, but it's quite the opposite.
Like I said, Massive Attack is probably a safe bet. ANYONE WHO HATES THEM IS A FUCKING IDIOT

I REALLY don't get them. Like, at all. All of their songs sound the same and they're overall just a bland band.

But once again, you are saying it like there is something wrong with being a casual music listener who focuses on top 40, and that people who consume music in that way's opinion isn't as valid as yours.
The beautiful thing about music is that it is completely and 100% objective. There is not right way or wrong way to do music. |
|
Here's what I can say: if you really really love Mumford and Sons, and you don't listen to much beyond top 40 hits, I'm not too interested in your opinion. That's not a VALUE judgment, just an assumption based on taste. It sounds snotty, but it goes back to a characteristic HG talks about all the time - being well-informed. It's not a taste issue, it's an information issue.
(I would probably argue that information breeds taste to a certain extent, but we won't go there yet)

I don't really dig LCD. I danced to it once, yes, but once in a blue moon you will catch me with an empty fifth of Jack in hand, doing an Axl Rose jig and pipin' away to 'Sweet Child O' Mine'. What I'm saying here is alcohol makes me jiggy.
I hardly "love" Massive Attack, but a good MA song really does pump my nad.
What about the Beatles? Do we have any closet Beatles haters?

If I hated the Beatles I wouldn't talk about it.

I always used to say that if you feel anything but awe towards the Beatles, you just haven't listened to them enough. I'm listening to the Hunter Davies biography right now and I'm so totally engrossed. Stranger than fiction, man.

I hate the Beatles in the same sense that I hate Citizen Kane...which is to say, I don't really hate them - because I recognize how amazing and important they were, and I even enjoy most of their stuff - but I do hate having to hear about them all the time when people want to toss out 'greatest band of all time' nonsense. And for that reason, I do kinda hate them.

I don't really care about Massive Attack. I really wanted to see them out of a Geno-like sense of cultural duty, but I still missed them.
I can't sit through a whole album.

While it saddens me to read that, it doesn't really surprise me. You don't strike me as a person who was ever much for the Trip Hop movement of the 90s. Personally, Blue Lines and Mezzanine are two of the finest albums from that entire decade, regardless of genre.

Yeah, it wasn't really my bag at the time. I got to the point, eventually, where I really enjoy like Portishead or whatever, but Massive Attack never really clicked with me in any significant way. Except for 'Pray for Rain', but that was well after the fact.
As far as the Beatles are concerned (or Citizen Kane, for that matter), the level of regard is due almost entirely to the impact they had on their respective mediums. One might argue that if the Beatles hadn't established what is possible in terms of using the recording studio as an instrument and the potential of the album format for cohesive expressions of art (or, in the case of Kane, the notion of non-linear storytelling and the potential for cinematography to build and enhance character and story) then someone else would have, but the fact is that they didn't.
I'll argue until I'm blue in the face that The Godfather, Part II is a better film than Orson Welles ever made, but as far as I'm concerned the place that the Beatles hold in the history of popular music is carved into stone -- damn near holy.
