>PS-Let's limit that to music, thank you.
As far as noise: Diamanda Galas, Numb, Clock DVA, Einsturzende Neubauten,
Psychic TV, some of the free jazz stuff (ayler, murray, sharp, sharrock). I
havent heard much Yoko Ono, but I know people who claim to cringe at the
thought of being exposed for a split second to her music.
As far as utterly *bad* music [these are only my opinions, meaning no
disrespect to anyone who may like what I hate]: country music (except kd lang
and Lyle Lovett), true Muzak (the stuff geriatric Republicans listen to),
and, as I wince at the thought of it, Southern Rock a la .38 Special, Lyrnyrd
Skynyrd, ZZTop -- UCK!
As far as genius: the jazz masters (Bird, Monk, Mingus -- these guys were
crazy and I'd swear you can hear it in their playing); the men and women who
pioneered the blues and soul; the modern recordings of authentic tribal
groups (don't'cha wish they had tape recorders back in the stone age? Now
that would be *seriously* scary?); a lot of the new acid jazz (especially the
stuff on Mo'Wax and Ninja Tune); and some of the really hard techno (IOTD5 =
*the* best comp of the year, IMO).
Music as all things are is relative to thine own ears-- Peace to all.
