Artists you can't listen to anymore.

[AndyTravis]

Nirvana. Definitely overdid it in the 90’s.

As a teen and 20 something I was a sucker for music with loud distorted power chords and warp speed fretwinking. Nowadays I way, far, much prefer stuff not 'made using real instruments '. Perversely I still love guitars but hate most guitar centric music other than flamenco and country chicken pickin.

[bassbiscuits]

Most of the rock and metal I grew up listening to 30 years ago doesn’t really float my boat any more to be honest. I’d very rarely choose to listen to any of it. 
 

On the other hand I’ve been getting back into EDM/house/techno on my weekly motorway commute (aka a traffic jam) which I was well into back in the day.
 

But I’m realising that most of the new stuff I’m buying isn’t grabbing my attention either - seems I’ve already experienced the heyday of good dance music in the early/mid 1990s. Hmm.

Blues - I used to listen to a lot of it when I was younger, but I also was a guitarist and got bettter!

I can appreciate a blues song done well occasionally, although they so often aren't. Certainly couldn't listen to an album of it, or worse still, play it.

[Jackroadkill]

As much as I love the music he made with Pantera, Superjoint Ritual and Down, I can't listen to anything by Phil Anselmo any more.  It breaks my heart, but the White Power stain can't be rinsed out.

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Led zeppelin , Ozzy solo stuff, metal church, 

Tbh I haven't played either of those artists stuff for many years . I did have The Dark album by metal church , and that ended up as part of a large vinyl sale last year . 
It could be easy for me to add  more to this list ( classic motorhead and the stones for example  ) , but I know that I will  get round to playing said bands at a random time and would be a tad disappointed if I sold those albums. 

 

 I saw a few  live festival  gigs on you tube  over the last couple of years ( Bloodstock / wackem / hellfest ) and I saw this quite live, energetic French punk band . They were really good . I thought that they seem really good for a newer ban£. 
Tagada Jones have been around a lot longer than I thought . 😬 . Some bands just slip through the radar ..

 

[lurksalot]

Elvis Costello , he deserves this.. 

[spike]

Emerson, Lake & Palmer, I used to have all their albums when I was in my teens, haven't wanted to listen to them for at least the last 30 years.

That's a rough one. I love Down, Nola is one of my all time favourite records but I can't enjoy listening to a white supremacist. Same goes for Michael Graves era Misfits

[ezbass]

Courtesy of the skip function on the Planet Rock app, Status Quo is no longer played at chez Ez. Iron Maiden have also joined the ‘skip squad’ recently and I feel Queen will join them.

[TheLowDown]

I used to love guitar solos when I was young, but now find to be too fingers-on-the-blackboard piercing and screechy.

Yeah, that's a bugger, too.

Having never owned any music recorded by 'Rolfy boy' the thread title does not apply. 

But if you are happy to separate a person's actions from their creative output keep on listening to him.

Just to make it clear that I don't listen to Rolf. I only mentioned him because he seemed an obvious ommission from your list.

 

To be honest he used to be a bit of a hero of mine for appearing to be a nice unassuming person who was very talented in many fields. Not anymore though, for the obvious reasons.

I can't believe he came out as racist and was surprised that the punk community immediately disowned him. He accused the people not going out to his gigs any more of oppressing his free speech.  He's not too bright

[Barking Spiders]

When I occasionally do tune into Planet Rock and hear 70s-early 90s hard rock and metal I wonder to myself what I ever saw in it. On the other hand I still enjoy a big chunk of synth/electronic and post punk from the 80s.

The free speech lot make me laugh; they don't want free speech, they want speech without consequence (but only for them).

Funnily enough, I never liked Elvis Costello back in the day, he wasn't punk enough, but we have added 'Pump it Up' to our set list and listening to some songs I haven't heard in ages, like 'Watching the detectives', I'm starting to like him.

I like a lot if his stuff, but after a properly crap gig at the Liverpool philharmonic last year he should have given everyone their money back. 

I know if people offer a product or service and properly fluff it, the payment for it becomes moot , if a show properly fluffs it , well, we can all just suck up our £85 a head ticket price can’t we 🤬

That’s a great Bassline, I learned that years ago but I don’t like anything else he did 

[12stringbassist]

MeatLoaf.
He sued a local tribute act in order to get a domain name from him.
The thought of listening to him now makes me itch.

Thankfully never got into him . However, he showed his true colours at knebworth  ('85 supporting purple etc) and suffered that day for his attitude 😆

Got lucky on this one, realised I was becoming too used to listening to certain stuff so made a conscious decision to stop. My favourite artists do not feature in any of my playlists. I now get recommended lots of new and sometimes exciting music and when I hear a track I loved from my youth comes on I still love it and it hits me like a ton of bricks.

Fair enough.  

[SumOne]

At the age of about 16 I was briefly into Happy Hardcore and Hard House.....luckily it didn't take long to get more into stuff like House and Techno that I still like today. 

 

Still though, I'll give it it's dues - I had some excellent nights out at Happy Hardcore raves and there's something to be said for music that only appeals to 16 year old ravers. Almost punky I suppose, in an annoying cartoonish way. 

[TheGreek]

I used to love my Dance stuff but it isn't the same if you aren't jumping around with lights in your eyes...After all it isn't as if anybody can name any of the tunes.
