I know we do not always like to consider ourselves members of a Subculture or a Scene, but there is a loose set of preferences most of us have, a set of common interests we share or else we wouldn't be here ... what I want to know here is, WHAT ABOUT YOU IS UTTERLY NON-VINTAGE.
Some of us, such as our good Jovan, have been bold enough to admit it -- in his case, he had the courage to state that he found Humphrey Bogart overrated, an opinion I do not agree with, but which I will fight to the death that he might express.
And now it's your turn. The purpose of this conversation (if anyone joins it) isn't to argue about the MERIT of artists, shoe styles, etc, but rather to admit that you hate something that you think everyone else here loves ... to risk blackballing yourself willingly from [this] polite society with your honesty.
For me? Besides my not-so-secret love for various terminally uncool rock groups from the 1970s ---here goes:
I cannot bloody stand Frank Sinatra. The failure to hit a note on key. The insincere emoting. The limp lyrics. A singer should either be able to hit a note (like most opera singers) or else sound emotionally sincere (like a punk singer and like most opera singers). But I don't hear either from the man.
Who's next?
