Shuffle away -- You won't find it.

If you were to find my iPod, you'd notice over 17,000 songs on there from 1200+ complete albums.
I love music, all types of music, and while people are always amazed by what they find IN the iPod, some people are more amazed by the albums they DON'T find.
Look all you want through it (it will take you a while), but you won't EVER find a single album by certain artists. Notably absent are the Beatles, Elvis, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead, NKOTB, Michael Jackson, Gaga, and Katy Perry. A lot of "One hit wonders" aren't there either. But for every one of those listed above, there's a specific reason, or in a couple cases a person, they will never be in my music collection. And why I don't listen to them if they come up on the radio, either. For the LAST three, it's because I just don't get them, plain don't like them, and, in Gaga's case, can't stand her voice. Oh, and they're all batshit nuts. ;)
Zep, Dead, and Floyd were faves of a few people I could never stand when i was younger, and that held over (old habits and all). The Beatles, much the same. A person I truly loathed (scratch that, thinking back, TWO people) played nothing BUT the Beatles on their home stereo or car. Again, ingrained response.

Elvis.....yeah, sorry. The man basically ripped off another whole culture's music and was hailed for it. Fuck that.

NKOTB.....two words. High School. Got WAY too over-exposed to them and just got sick of hearing them all the time. Don't HATE them, just don't need to hear them, lmao.

What about you guys, my blogstalkers? Any musical artists you choose to ignore?
