Most Inaccessable Artists?

[Triple Moon Goddess]

I suppose its just that most of them i have heard are metal... There certainly are other genres with inaccessible music

[Sporty]

Maybe so, but its about what each individule thinks, Joking_ck thinks Aerosmith, which seems strange to me, but it is what it is, and I think White Stripes, there isnt anything about them that I like, I mean theres probably a ton of banRAB that I love and people find them inaccessible, thats what musics all about

[Poe for President]

That is an excellent point.

[Who Am I Now?]

Maybe for some people, artists stop being accesable when they get filthy ****ing rich and you can no longer relate to them?
No, thats probably not it...

[l9poppy]

Agreed.

I would have to say The Mars Volta for me, I have given this group so many listens trying to get into it. But it just really can't do it for me. I'm not sure what it is. I tried to like them. I really did.

Sunn O))).


other than that, most other things avante-garde stuff i've heard, from Beefheart to Animal Collective's first few albums(which are almost NOTHING like Merriweather Post Pavillion), i can get into and enjoy

hell, i even liked that Merzbow track, what cd is that on?


EDIT: hahaha, just as i was typing this, Butthole Surfers came on :laughing:

[elephantaura]

But if I had to say what I think the most inaccessible artist in the world is, Merzbow gets my vote.

Who woulda thunk Metal Machine Music would become an actual genre? :laughing:

[Jek]

I've had a hard time trying to get into Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band as well as the obscure Canadian hip hop artist Gruf The Druid.

[Guy needing help!]

Well the concept of that kinda stuff is challenging people's perception of what music is, as well as giving a big "f*ck you" to the mainstream.

And I can admire that. I sure as hell ain't gonna subject myself to listening to it though. :laughing:

****, couldnt find them on Youtube, Im not about to search harder, from what you say it might not be worth it, hah.
