Do you rule artists out?

[Kacku]

I don't have a very versatile taste in music. I hate all kinds of rap, hiphop and heavy metal. I also have no kind of interest in r'n'b, though who knows, I could like it. And from the spectrum of pop and rock, I tend to avoid girl groups (as many have said, no interest in the hyper-actively cute image), boy bands (just... no) and male artists (no offense against them, but I just really prefer female voices).

Other than that, I try not to rule out anything until I've heard a sufficient amount. Some artists I've come to dislike despite trying: Mika Nakashima, Aira Mitsuki, Ai Otsuka and HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR.
