I think anyone who knows enough about a genre could convert the stoutest of naysayers, I never liked metal until someone played me ride the lightning by Metallica. I ended up listening to thrash, death, doom and anything in-between metal, one of my favourite albums is Sabbat's Dreamweaver, I never liked classical until I heard Mozart. I never liked house music until I heard The Orb. It's not straight house but it crossed me over...I never liked blues until I heard Ry Cooder, I didn't like soul until I heard Al Green, I didn't like techno until I heard Joey Beltram, I didn't like Gospel until I heard Johny Cash, who originally got me into country, I didn't like jazz until I heard Tony Bennett and the Ralph Sharan Trio, now I have loads of jazz and can savour SunRa... I didn't like folk music until I heard The levellers, I didn't like opera until I heard Maria Callas, I didn't like rap until I heard The beastie boys, I didn't like downtempo until I heard Massive Attack, I thought their album Blue lines an amazing album until years later I realised it was a rip off when I heard Spectrum by Billy Cobham, I didn't even like jazz fusion until I heard Billy Cobham, I didn't like Bossa Nova until I heard Antonio Carlos Jobim, I didn't like traditional Irish until I heard The Pogues and Christy Moore, the Pogues are pretty punk and he's not purist but my ears were opened. I didn't like bluegrass until I heard The Knotty Pine String band in a pub in Donegal one night, I didn't even know there was a genre called bluegrass FFS! I didn't like drum and bass until I heard LTJ Bukem, I didn't like dubstep until I heard Shackleton, I didn't like electro until I heard Two Lone Swordsmen, the best gig I've ever been to is an electro gig by a guy from USA calls himself Egyptian Lover, closely followed by Tony Bennett, Al Green, Lee Scratch Perry or the Orb, I can't decide. They were all amazing. OK some of the experimental stuff is made by and for LSD use, and some of us have managed to get our heads around LSD inspired or Heroin/MDMA inspired music without taking the drug. If you ever heard the Master Musicians of Joujouka you might be wondering what it's all about, I certainly did, but they've played Glastonbury! so if a rake of dudes are buzzing having a jam and in the process some dudes are having a great time enjoying it, rock the funk on brothers, as for this "what's your least favourite genre" question is like asking someone into food what sort of cuisine they don't like, oh, I think I'll have the msg laden Chinese with salmonella eggs fried rice and why don't you stick on some Billy Ray Cyrus to poison my ears as well as my mouth while I eat it.
