Music question

[mvd]

Is there a singer or band you like musically that you don’t like (either a singer or members of the band) for non musical reasons?

For me it is The Corrs. Love the music. The sisters in the band have not gotten into politics as far as I can tell, but the brother is a terrible right wing nutcase.

1. Eric Clapton.

Musically he's great.

Outside of music he's a total asshole.

Anti-vaxx, racist, etc.

2. That's my choice. Clapton is an amazing musician but otherwise he is an idiot.

4. Was thinking at first of Ted Nugent, then I realized I couldn't stand Nugent's music anymore.

Just plain boring.

6. In my biased opinion, Nugent was never the musician Clapton is.

8. He is great musically

Not my favorite kind of music, but I respect how good he is.

3. If a song doesn't get along with my memory associations,

it gets demoted off my main playlists or far more often flat out deleted.

my library is therefore way reduced from the past.

U2, David Bowie, Tchaichovsky to name a few among thousands.

5. I've been hearing quite a few people drag U2 lately,

saying that they were so overrated, and I can't go there. I still love that band's music. No negative memory associations for me.

7. Morrissey

He says really chuckleheaded things sometimes.

But, I have nearly everything he ever recorded - with the Smiths and as a solo artist.
