I bought the B52s first album (Planet Claire, Rock Lobster et al) on vinyl for my little brother as a birthday present - he hated it.
Some years later I bought him the Cowboy Junkies "200 More miles" on CD as another birthday present - he hated that too.
Haven't bought him any music since.
- adolfojp 5y agoMay I ask what kind of music he liked because I'm dying to know what his frame of reference was when he found your music taste to be torturous.

- zabzonk 5y agoHeavy metal (at least at that time in his life) I'm afraid. I don't know what he is up to know - age about 50 something.
- disordinary 5y agoThe first album is dark enough to appeal you'd think.
- itisit 5y agoYour brother is a man of good taste, I see.
- squarefoot 5y agoDoes he still hate them? I ask because musical tastes change with time, particularly when transitioning from the 20s to the 40s and beyond. Suffice to say that in my 20s I hated Genesis, Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull.
- zabzonk 5y ago> Does he still hate them? I don't know - I don't think he listens to music much these days. We don't discuss it when we meet. My own tastes have changed from ProgRock in my teens to North American music in my mid and old age, preferably with female vocalists, such as Emmylou Harris. Yesterday, I found myself listening to "The Marble Index" (Nico) which I first bought as a cut-out on vinyl in Woolworths in 1970, and which I think I still have (somewhere, don't know where). I have always harboured a deep loathing for Jethro Tull, and particularly for Ian Anderson!
- S_A_P 5y agoI first heard planet Claire at age 12 or so. The Peter Gunn like baseline was stuck in my head for the next few days. I still remember my mom asking what song I was imitating- at like 1am on a school night with my mouth loud enough she came to check on me…
