Music genre you don't care for

[ForeverAutumn]

Lets face it. Not everybody that can sing can also write music

And, more importantly, not everyone who can write music can, or wants to, sing. Good songwriting is a real craft. And being a good singer and good songwriter do not always go hand in hand. Lots of songwriters have no desire to perform and spend their lives touring, so they sell their songs to those who do. I don't have a problem with people who don't write their own songs. I'd rather have a singer that I like sing someone else's good songs than their own crappy songs.

Now, back to the topic.

I've never heard a rap or hip hop song that I've wanted to hear twice.
I don't like country music.
I grew up listening to Opera and can't stand it! I like the music, just remove the vocals.
I don't like Jazz or Fusion, or anything related to Jazz or Fusion such as Fusion Prog. Although I do like some soft Jazz.
I don't like screaming or growling vocals.

That probably apply less to Rock/punk/metal than any other music genre.

If you go back to music history, one premise of rock bands was that they should write their own music and songs which was spearheaded by the Beatles

I grew up in a music household and my first college degree is in music, so I listen often and enjoy all music...............however :
I am less fond of rap or hip hop and almost anything with a banjo, such as bluegrass.
Everything else is great.

I see you changed my quote from Beatles to Buddy Holly LOL

He was definintely very influential. And as were Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis

But Buddy Holly was really the first that wrote and recorded his own songs, which was the point of your original post.
