Groups- The Doors and Led Zeppelin.  I don't like them at all any more. 

Individual songs- Back when I was listening to that type of music, it came in the form of vinyl albums, so you listened to the whole album.  Some songs were good and some songs, in hindsight, were crap.  The Rolling Stones, The Who, Cream, and Jimi Hendrix- those were some of my favorites, but their albums had some great songs and some crap songs on them.  Or The Beatles- Strawberry Fields is a great song.  Rocky Raccoon, for example, is pure garbage.  But they didn't sell "songs," they sold albums, so you had to take the good with the bad. 

I also find that some stuff that I dismissed when I was young was actually pretty good.  Pink Floyd sailed right past me.  I wasn't paying attention. 

That was all 60s and 70s music.  I still listen to a lot of 60s and 70s music.  By that I mean 1860s and 1870s.

Yeah, Floyd was one I passed on for years because radio/pop music played like 3 songs off the wall, 3 more from Dark Side, and that was all you ever heard. My college roomy was a huge Floyd fan, popped in Live at Pompeii video one night, and I was hooked. Now, they're one of my favorites.

I've said that pop culture thing soured me on a few things - another being Monty Python. When you mention to someone you're a Python fan, the usual response is "Ni!" right? No, I'm talking about the person who can complete the dialog:

"There's a dead vicar on the landing."
"What's his diocese?"
"How should I know?"
