What? Me worry?
Although I tend to agree, as I get older and more into the music scene I find myself being impressed with the volume of work they produced.
I tend to agree about the Beatles, very overrated in my opinion, i guess it was just the right time for them.
Having said that, some of John Lennon's solo work is astounding.
But the biggest uck for me was Abba... What was that all about?

WWMRD?
They seemed like a boy band that just happened to create a few good songs.
Reggae is mine, a lot of people seem to like it but I can only handle about two minutes of it at a time.

Jazz for me. Personally, I detest most forms of jazz and yet it is a very popular genre.
Ditto for rap/hip hop and country.
Is prolly one of the horrid sonic adventures ever recorded... Jus' sayin'

Hehe. As a long time Lennon fan, I did like much of his stuff, but he had more than his share of less than stellar work.

Only half-agree on The Beatles. I'm not big on their early period, and honestly their late psychedelic one is probably overrated, but a lot of their mid-'60s baroque-pop work is just amazing. Eleanor Rigby remains one of the most intricate and creative pop songs ever made.
Completely agree on ABBA. I don't get it, they're a really bland generic disco group without the artfulness and deep funk tinge that makes EW&F (for example) interesting, or the tight production and simplicity of The Beegees.
Also most punk grates on the ears. It only got good, for me, in the '00s when Green Day started going all rock-opera and bands like Paramore were basically producing old-school power pop with heavier guitars. It's also really the only genre that I dislike on blanket. I like some hip hop, usually the lyrically complex end that middle-class hipsters like. I like a lot of country. I like a lot of metal. I love jazz. Punk just never did it for me, except when it ceases to be meaningfully punk.

Adele.
I just find her and her music so utterly and completely bland and boring and unemotional. I'm baffled anytime anyone tells me how emotional her vocals are when I think she sounds like she has the emotional range of a starfish.

And trying to play it correctly is enough to make you pull out your dreads...

Mostly agree on her current stuff. I really like some of her older songs though; Rolling in the Deep, Skyfall. In general I think her voice shines on jazzy tunes, and the slow ballads she's been working with lately don't suit her.
Y'all need more reggae in your lives.

I partially agree here, but there are so many derivatives of punk now that I can't agree with a blanket statement that all punk is bad.

No we don't especially Bob Marley. Bob's music has been murdered and resurrected so many times I have lost count.

I don't know why, but I really, really hated Skyfall (the movie as well as the song). I think maybe Adele has a voice that just particularly irritates me for some reason too buried in my subconscious to really elucidate on. It's almost like nails on a chalkboard to me, especially in that song.

Anything resembling rap / hiphop grinds my ears,
makes me frantic to get away.
(I have no secret info to confess, so, no use to
torture me with it in the hopes of a payoff)

The one interesting thing about ABBA, is that they
sing everything ex-freakin' zactly the same way,
every time. If that is interesting
Let me be first to offer some good music
For the most part, if it's on the radio, I think it's trash. The only station worth listening to around here is NPR or classical music. Pop music is garbage. No offense. The rhythms are samey, the range of instruments and pitches nearly monotonous, the lyrics uninspired and dull, and the subjects of those lyrics pedestrian.
