I was reading a previous music thread and Nirvana got a mention and it got me thinking which bands really grate on me.
Here's my top three.
Nirvana.
The Beatles
Bruce Springsteen.
Feel free to lynch any band you dislike!

Queen (Over rated pretentious crap)
Muse (Over rated Queen wanabees)
Coldplay (goes without saying)
Sex Pistols (YOU DID NOT INVENT PUNK)

Muse: first two albums were good then they disappeared up their own backside

Red Hot Chilli Peppers: Horrible band

Biffy Clyro: Terrible name, terrible music

I could sit for hours and create a huge list but here's a few for now....

Tenacious D - Awful, awful band. Only famous because of Jack Black. I'd even go as far as saying they are talentless but that would be a compliment.

Glee - Not a band I know, but a music ensemble. Enough said really.

Anything off the XFactor - A living breathing walking abortion.

The wombats - his voice just goes through me
The darkness - just cant stand them

My hatred of the Beatles is well documented.

Others include but not exclusively;
Train
Oasis
Coldplay
Fightstar
Train
Chris Martin
Chris Martin's parents
Mumford and Sons
Chris Martin's ancestors
Train
The Script
Maroon 5

I could be here all day.

Rush
Coldplay
Franz Ferdinand
21st century Metallica
The Band
MCR
Fall out Boy

Coldplay
Coldplay
Coldplay

Paul Weller too.

Had his day with The Jam. Went a bit wonky with The Style Council, totally vanished up the sense of his own importance when he went solo.

REM
White Stripes
Radiohead
Next??

Never thought I'd see the Band on anyones list - not a fan but can't imagine why such a modestly successful group could create such emotion

Too many to list really, but current top three would be:
Queen
Florence and the Machine
Alt-J

Many of the bands mentioned on here I don't like, and plenty more that aren't.

But only two I really hate.

Madonna (not really a band I know) - truly talentless yet no one ever seems to notice.

Queen - they represent all that is stupid about the British music buying public, camp operatic crap dressed up by a bunch of grammer schoolboys as rock'n'roll.

I know by definition there are no "real" British rock'n'roll bands and many were middle class boys but at least the Who, Stones, Clash and even the Beatles gave it a decent stab. Queen took the mick.

Florence and the Machine, good one - another example of the kings new coat.

She can't sing and seems to think louder is the same as higher.

Add into that Meatloaf!

Meatloaf.

God, yes.


And Mike & The Mechanics.

Soft metal, Pop punk , Prog rock & Rap.

Any thrash/deasth metal band. Small hint... Screaming is not the same as singing, and lamping seven shades out of your guitar isn't the same as playing it.

Miserable set of bstards arent you

Yep

Speaking of miserable bstards add REM in the mix, horrible band!

No one has said U2 yet which I am suprised about. I do have a passion of hating Bono and the "Edge".

I often wonder if it's the music or the men with U2?

I'm a bit like that with Oasis, I detest the brothers rather than the music.

It's not the Beatles music I hate or the fab four themselves. It's the pseudo intellectual bullcrap industry that has grown around them and mythologised them into so much more than they were. That and the over sentimentalised scouse hero worship.

I'm a big Stones fan so I am biased I admit but the one thing that really irks me is that IMHO from Satisfaction (65) through to Brown Sugar (71) Jaggers lyrics were way ahead of anything Lennon or McCartney managed. Yet he and many others barely get a mention due to the Beatles mafia shouting everyone else down.



PS: I'm fully aware that the Stones shamelessly exploit their back catalogue and have not had a decent LP since Some girls (76), a classic since Exile (70) or a decent single since Start me up (80) - but then none of the Beatles have done any better.
