(Music) groups and artists you can't believe you listened to in your youth.

I don't mind the occasional listen to Smoke on the Water.

But...

... you have reminded me to add Black Sabbath to my list who I loved at the time but I now think their music is one unholy racket.

Smoke on the Water was the song that put me off them. I can listen to 'Child in Time' from the live Made in Japan LP but that's about it.

Listen and repent your heresy

That's not Black Sabbath, they died when they sacked Ozzy
Listen to some of the early stuff like 'Fairies Wear Boots' and 'Sweet Leaf' (hint it's not about Tobacco) not to mention 'Iron Man'

Sorry I'm going to take issue with this.
The early Ozzy/Sabbath era, up to Sabotage is classic. But to call Dio era not Sabbath is so far wide of the mark its ridiculous. Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules are not only two of the very best Sabbath albums, they are two of the very best Rock albums ever recorded.

Dio wipes the floor with Ozzy every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Dio did a very fine job of singing Ozzy era songs, I would like to see Ozzy try Dio's stuff, just for the lolz.

Led Zeppelin

Now @Drago will be on his way here with his Rounders bat.. Rush

Noooo!

My favourite band ever... some amazing tracks... Kashmir, Trampled Underfoot & When The Levee Breaks etc.

Its all so very subjective isn't it this music lark.
I find them beyond bland and boring.. but I do appreciate their standing in Rock music history.

The Fall

I was/am a big fan of their 1980 - 1982 era, although I watched them live in 1978 and many more times after that.

So, from Slates to Perverted by Language is my fav.

Hip Priest is a classic.

As long as it's got Tony & Geezer on it, it's Sabbath 🤘.

Very subjective - same with all art, hence no rights or wrongs.

If some people like looking at a Shark in Formaldehyde, then so be it.

Although, on second thoughts, my mate likes Country music - now that is totally wrong.

You know what you like, because you like what you know.

It's called music conditioning, starts at a very young age in the womb.

You're clearly a philistine: https://www.birminghamhippodrome.com/calendar/brb-black-sabbath/

(to be fair, I never got into Sabbath. Floyd, Led Zep, Genesis, even Scorpions ... but not Sabbath, or indeed most of the Brit 'Metal scene ... )

What about Folk?

 

[PeteXXX]

I saw them 'live' at either Hyde Park or the Bath Festival of Blues & Progressive Music (memory fails me for one reason or another).
It was called their 'seminal gig'.. I fell asleep.

That's nothing - I couldn't stand Zippy, he was such a big head
