The Muppet Show was syndicated so it was on whenever a particular channel wanted to put it on.

Right. But usually that would be a time slot other then prime time, so not 8:30PM. Unless some time zone thing comes into play.

Can we do this thread about first music you ever loved or has that already been done?

speaking of album covers, my dad's copy of Strangers IV: Rattus Norvegicus used to really creep me out. There's these two really weird looking dudes who somehow don't look real and a stuffed wolf's head

"Can't think of anything I hated before the age of 14 or so, though I was very into music and am sure there was something. "

Same here. Each time this thread comes up to top of new answers I try to think of something I actually hated as a kid instead of being merely indifferent to. I got nuthin.

despite loving all kinds of beats, ska really bugged me for years, could not get into it, 'primative reason' became the band that allowed me in on the ska train, though the dub and reggae vibes helped

(Everything I Do) I Do It for You by Bryan Adams. One summer in middle school I was grounded for a month because I had snuck out of the house and spray-painted the neighborhood. (EID)IDIFY seemed like it was on the radio twice an hour and for some reason there was some different song I was desperately trying to catch and record. There had been music before that I had made fun of, because you're supposed to make fun of Milli Vanilli or Warrant. Sure, Ice Ice Baby was stupid, but Bryan Adams was my first experience with actually feeling rage at a song's existence.

I was reflecting on this and actually went back a little further in time. When I was in 5th grade, the Beaches soundtrack came out. While mega-hit Wind Beneath My Wings was definitely over-played and annoying, the track that got a lot of attention from girls in my school was Otto Titsling, a burlesque romp about the invention of the brassiere. I - a Guns 'N' Roses and Motley Crue fan at the time - found myself scandalized by this song, partly due to the chesty content and partly due to Midler's leering voice. At recess, girls would sometimes break out into chants of "over-the-shoulder boulder holder," which was one of the song's big pay-off lines. I remember being real uptight and angry about this song.

spray-painted the neighborhood. (EID)IDIFY

originally misread that you were busted for spraypainting the letters "(EID)IDIFY" around the neighborhood, like you hated it so much it and thought it would enrage others

also I want this to be the name of a prince cover version with drawings of eyes in place of the letter

No, I just wrote the word fuck, but spelled with a "ph" instead of an "f". It was really pathetic and I probably deserved the Bryan Adams after that.

oh yeah one thing I'm not really into is prog after a certain time when it has started just doing things for showing off sake and not really feeling it. Mainly listen roughly 70-73. I think it would have to be really special for me to listen after taht.
I don't like things that fit the designation New Wave as opposed to post punk or whatever other specific individual designation much either.
Corporate pop pap etc etc

Growing up in the 90s with mainstream alternative rock radio I was on board with pretty much everything until nu-metal started taking over - Papa Roach, Incubus, Limp Bizkit etc. That was more anger inspiring and disappointing than anything going on with other genres I didn't care about/listen to.

skip, though it wasn't the first music that I hated, I can attest to also hating nu-metal. I was a punk kid, really into grindcore and more extreme forms of hardcore etc. I didn't have many friends in my middle school except a few skater boys and "alt" girls (I was a fat gay kid who read a lot of books lol), and when Korn and all that became popular, the boys were like "THIS IS SO COOL AND EXTREME IT'S LIKE WHAT YOU LISTEN TO, TABLE" and I was like, "no." But it was because they were wrong! My favorite bands were Born Against and Los Crudos! And nu-metal is just...it's awful, the revival of it was fun but not because the music was ever good.

Part of this is that I had a distinct sense of what I considered "fake" or "insincere" from a very young age, so nu-metal and Marilyn Manson and such always just seemed like utter trash to meβ€” who would buy what these dudes were singing/screaming? I couldn't, and still can't.
