Dislike these Styles and musical qualities: Ambient, Electronic, Heavy Metal, Noise/Industrial/Urban, Mainstream/Accessible/Pop, Traditional, New Age
Musical styles or qualities that I do not like: Countless clones of Genesis, Yes, Rush and Marillion and countless clones of those clones etc., neo-prog, pomp rock, cold electronics, dark ambient, gotic, death metal, hardcore, too radical minimalistic avant, industrial, urban, nu-jazz, mainstream fusion and rock, some kind of punk or garage rock full of yells, screams, bad vocals and primitive guitar works, beat, west-coast, polit-rock, fantasy music (warriors, elfs, unicorns and goblins don't appeal to me for sure!), too meditative albums, too prolongated albums, traditionals, sugary pop music (of course!) Too simple or too complicated - both are not good to me!
Occupation(s): Manager
