Elvis Presley - I get it. I understand the impact he had. A lot of his records were great swinging affairs. And yet............I never liked him; certainly never worshipped him. There- I've said it. Am I to be drummed out of the club?
(See also S.Wonder, V. Morrison, and D.Bowie).

As a relative newcomer to the club I'd hazard a guess that no one is 'sacred'. Not even/especially Elvis. And I take my hat off to you for adding Wonder, Morrison & Bowie to your list -I happen to like all three but I mean if you were to be drummed out ( as if! )it might as well be for a sheep as a lamb unless - you're vegetarian?
If you've gotta get your coat I'm in the cloakrooml with you:
Led Zeppelin.
Queen -don't start me on how loathsome a band they were.
Patti Smith - sorry Andy, Horses for courses?

I think there was a thread here on artists that everyone likes, or at least doesn't dislike, and there was a consensus to a certain extent. But no sacred cows, I think, and rightly so.
