Strangely enough, I think Tchaikovsky is the only composer whom I have a prejudice against. Every time I hear his name I think of pink bubble-gum cotton candy with extra sugar.
I may have to work on this bias a bit....
Do you have prejudices regarding any composer?
I can't stand Tchaikovsky since the very beginning. Too Disney-ish for me most of the time. So I kind of look somewhere else whenever our paths cross. I know it's bad and all of that, but I am sure some of you have the same unavoidable feeling about some other composers. :devil:

Better than unlistenable. It's the difference between an eatable hotdog and an uneatable dog turd. I'll take the former.On a related note: when will people realize that "listenable" is about as backhanded a compliment as one can imagine?
Quite often my "listenable" charts have stepped into greatness. It's all to do with the listener.
Yea, I try to avoid terms like that simply out of consideration. This stuff is taken seriously by a lot of folks, you know.I've had too much of the music I love relegated to the "unlistenable" bin by others to take it seriously as a label. I don't use the term myself because it's essentially a personal reaction (I find this unlistenable at this moment) that purports to be a description of the actual music (there is something about this music which is essentially unpalatable to me/humanity). Usually, it's not even literally true for the individual who uses it.
Then again, the extreme dynamics in opinions can be a necessary contrast in shining some light on the more reasonable.
