   Just discovered that Praga Khan remixed Alice in Chains, and honestly that makes perfect thematic sense. Who else would you get?

     (Still not enough to make me enjoy Alice in Chains, and yes I know it's weird that I don't, it's just that Layne Staley's voice regularly hits a resonance I find uncomfortable.)

     Mine's mostly voices (see my long, long-running inability to enjoy the metal band Katatonia, but also vast swathes of male singer-songwriter stuff from the 2010s. I can absolutely see where you're coming from on the audio profiles of both REM and RHCP.

     I treat it as a trade-off. Whatever aspect of how I process music that makes so much "impenetrable" music real pleasure to me may also mean that every now and then I'll find something borderline unbearable to process for reasons that don't really make sense to everyone else.

     (Well, to you, they do, apparently! Thank you, friend!)

     I also suffer misophonia, which probably ties in.

     @HauntedOwlbear I don't like REM because of resonance and frequency issues. Its not Stipe its something like too many high-mid instruments or EQ. I find it all so thin, same with RHCP. REM evangelicals always think I should love them, and maybe I should but I can't 😯
