I’m sure some of you have some artists that are generally beloved by the music community but you just can’t stand them.

For me it is The Mars Volta. It should be right up my alley, I like a lot of similar music but I can’t get over the vocals. They sound so emo (which kinda makes sense, given the background of the vocalist) but to me it just does not fit the music at all.

Not trying to shit talk them, just wanting to share some hot takes.

      Last.fm says my top 5 artists are, in order, Vampire Weekend, Billy Strings, The Beatles, Sufjan Stevens, and Green Day. There’s a lot of context missing there, though, lol. If you go down the list, you’ll find a lot of punk & punk-adjacent stuff with some folk, pop and alt/indie rock interspersed. There’s one metal band in my top 50, two if you count Porcupine Tree.
