Bands that you just don't get...

Ricky Nelson, who was about 100x as talented as he needed to be (given his looks and his weekly role on a very popular '50s TV show). But he had a terrific voice, an excellent backup band, and unerringly good taste in song-selection (whether that was him or his people). As far as I ever heard, he never made a bad record. Probably the only teen-idol type (if you want to call him that) ever worth listening too.

Good one! Another great that left us too soon. James Burton was his first lead guitar player....now that's some awesome company!

Yup, along with one of my favorite bass players, Joe Osborn. James is still playing some.

Ricky Nelson seemed to be an extreme rarity. A teen idol with actual talent.

I have never gotten Madonna. I have no idea why she is famous.

I pretty much don't get any bands other than Rush.

I'm approaching 20 concerts. 30+ years making amazing songs.

Neil Peart really has no equal.

I listen to a few other bands from time to time but am mainly a Rush devotee.

Ah, a rare bird. The female Rush fan! I know lots of people (especially women) don't get them, but I totally agree. They rock.

The Analog Kid is leaving Vapor Trails now!

i'm a serious metal head and most people don't get the music i like. stuff like this you won't like unless you're into extreme metal. i love it.

if it matters, the comments to the video aren't work safe.

YouTube - Devourment - Fed to the Pigs (New Song)

i don't get all the pop and newer rap/hip hop stuff at all. 95% of the good music out there is underground.


i also listen to quite a bit of stuff like this as well. it's the total opposite for the most part.

ICP, U2, Kanye West, and anyone who's entire career rests on the fact that their ****s have yet to drop (I'm looking at you bieber....)

Firefox-- I'm a punk rock fan as well! {And I just recently learned something totally cool about a band from 1970 that I am dying to share with someone who cares. But it would be off topic here, so I will PM you.} But I also have one of the most eclectic music tastes of anyone I know.

What I really don't get is Skinny Puppy. So many people enjoy it, and to me it really just sounds like nonsensical noise like someone dropping a dinner plate.
