hate is a strong word....but I'm no big fan of Henry Rollins and he seems to have some decent taste mostly...he put out the first reissue of Gang of Four....

... they like my bloody valentine, zappa, bowie, and jay-z. but there is NOTHING in this world that will ever make me like their music.

They kinda sound like Zappa sometimes.

John Frusciante hearts the Durutti Column and Harmonia, seems to like all the German bands I like, and yet I cannot abide the RHCP.

Again, hate is a strong word, but I'd have to say Davey Bowie. I'm really not into his seemingly overthetop emotiveness (I have, however, recently realized how wrong I may have been about his songs, its just his versions...), but when he goes on about loving Mouse on Mars, Hanged Up, GYBE and The Lonesome Organist, it gets me to ease up on his shticks a bit.

Mike Skinner.

I'd say Gavin Rossdale but I really do like some of those Bush songs.

Mick Hucknall
Casey Chaos (actually I like Amen sometimes)

Hate is way too strong a word, but I still don't think Kurt Cobain was anywhere near the greatness of a lot of the music he loved, such as Beatles, Beach Boys, Big Star and Cheap Trick.

I was thinking about something like this a few days ago .. or the opposite .. Seems like a lot of really great musicians don't listen to much music, and/or aren't really into 'the canon'. Or, maybe more accurately, stopped listening to new music once they became musicians. For some reason, I'm thinking David Thomas, but he's probably not a great example.

Hmmm.. Timbaland likes Coldplay. :)

I second Gavin Rossdale. I hesitate to say I hate him or his band though. I've actually started to appreciate them a lil bit since Ned pointed out that they sounded like Swervedriver in the beginning. I know the guy is supposedly a big Seam fan. And thats one of my all-time fav rock bands.

― Johnny Badlees (crispssssss), Thursday, 24 March 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Does Gavin like Catherine Wheel? It seems like he would.

Charlie Simpson, who likes Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai and Godspeed! You Black Emperor.

Don't hate him, but used to laugh at him.

Clint Mansell displayed excellent taste in various late 80's/early 90's interviews- Jane's Addiction, The Orb, Renegade Soundwave, early Hip Hop + electro, Young Gods- and he talked about the music with a real passion.

His band, Pop Will Eat Itself, were woeful.

Bjork owns this thread.

Not only does she date / name-check great (at the time) artists (Goldie, Tricky, Wu-tang) but she consistently works with people like Plaid, Matmos, Leila Arab, Nitin Sawney who produce brilliant works in their own right, but turn into a kind of dreary aural sludge when backing her.

(The only people who didn't seem to be anihilated by Bjork collaborations : 808 State on XL and that James Bond guy who did "Play Dead".)

I saw Rob Thomas at a Willie Nelson gig at Tramps once. That means he must have some good taste.

Woman from Garbage mentioned Trans Am once.

i didn't know cobain loved those bands. i much prefer nirvana to the beach boys and also slightly to big star. cheap trick i don't know.

cobain had a good taste though. the wipers which he adored and the meat puppets were both largely superior to nirvana. especially the wipers.

Now, do all these musicians have gucci bags? I want to test if Lux Interior's theory is indeed true.

according to a recent bob pollard rant, Nelson says Matchbox 20 saved rock 'n' roll

i saw Marilyn Manson at a Peaches gig in detroit once... so, not sure exactly that this qualifies as 'good' taste, per se, but it's a taste of something...

"according to a recent bob pollard rant" is a great way to make the following words invisible. (no offense, ken)
