Bands you hate

[Angiekay]

Deano and I sparring over Bruce Springsteen made me think of this topic, which I have always wanted to do. What bands do you hate, what artists make your skin crawl? This should be a good flame thread.

Here are mine, in no order except for number one, they deserve top spot:

1. Lynyrd Skynyrd
2. Janis Joplin
3. The Doors
4. Bob Seger
5. Boston
6. Melissa Etheridge
7. Garth Brooks...ANY country for that matter, Reba is WAY up there too.
8. Van Morrison
9. Don McLean(sorry Zan)
10. Grand Funk Railroad

[Marabelle]

Johnny Rotten

Pete Doughtery

Britney Spears

Velvet Revolver

I'll think more cause there are quite a few.

[Rockindeano]

What a deplorable idea for a thread. To Hate anything is just not a way to conduct one's way of life.

Consider me recused.

[*Laura]

1.Depeche Mode - yuck!
2.Rolling Stones - overrated
3.Meatloaf - dramatic nonsense
4.The Doors - negative crack
5.Ratt - gay
6.Poison - totally gay
7.Kiss - I hate men who wear Max Factor
8.Alice Cooper - pathetic
9.Cher - she`s a great actress.

LMAO..ok Mr "fucking lying bastard thread, fuck the queen thread, I hate euros, I hate soccer" Deano.

Know what I hate the most? Hypocrites.

[Lula.]

I don't like Lynyrd Skynyrd or any of that southern rock. Remember Molley Hatchet (sp?).... yuk!!

[NealIsGod]

Flirtin' With Disaster is a great driving song. That's the only tune I know from them.

I'm kinda with you there, although I didn't mind .38 Special so much...odd considering I can't stand Skynyrd!

.38 Special is Skynyrd lite!

[jrnyman28]

Strange, but I don't think of 'hating' any artists. There are many that do nothing for me. There are many that make me scratch my head, there are many that have huge followings that I do not understand...but because music is so subjective I just do not hate them.

I do not get The Grateful Dead. Bob Dylan is fingernails on a blackboard. Tom Petty has great songs but I could live without his voice (earlier it was better than now). I do not like manufactured boy/girl band crap. I can't stomach Geddy Lee's vocals for any length of time but Rush is a very talented band. Don't get most hip-hop collaborations and stars.

[Lula.]

George Thorogood yuk!!
Pat 'Boom Boom' Travers yuk!!

[NealIsGod]

Werewolves in London always pisses me off. Any any Jethro Tull song.

[Lula.]

LOL!! Jethro Tull- YUK!!

[*Laura]

One more "hate" vote for Jethro Tull here.I dislike them so much I forgot them.
Dave,you described Bob Dylan perfectly!LOL

[TRAGChick]

OK...please don't draw-and-quarter me...

But ~I've REEEALY tried to like this group, and I DO like some of their earlier songs...

But as far as their "later works" are concerned, the answer is NO:

The Beatles.

I just CANNOT STAND this song....when they were into LSD and God-Knows-What:

"I Am The Walrus"

"Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Element'ry penguin singing Hare Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them Kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
coo coo coochoo.
(rhythmical speaking along with juba's).
Juba juba juba, juba, juba, juba, juba, juba, juba juba. Juba juba.....
(speaking)

--Repeat (eventually juba's will stop) and fade until end.--
during the fade out background vocals:
[Simultaneously:] 'Everybody's got one' and 'Oompa, oompa, stick it up your joompa' [jumper]"

What the HELL DOES IT MEAN??

[Clasicrockldy]

Does it have to mean anything? I happen to like that song. The Beatles were taking their music farther, getting out of that early style that they did. Have you read the lyrics to "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"?

[Angiekay]

That is actually a very sweet story. Lucy is a girl who John's son Julian went to kindergarden with. He drew a picture of some stars in the sky for her or about her, called it "Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds" and brought it home for his dad to see.

The song might have been *recorded* on drugs, but it's not *about* drugs.

Off the top of me head

1) Nivana
2) Pearl Jam
3) Limp Bizcuit
4) Doors
5) Almost any other 90's grunge band
6) Any boy band
7) Almost any overrated chick artist like Sheryl Crow

Eric, were you reading my mind??

That pretty much sums it up for me, too - but I would change #7 to Britney and Jessica & Ashley Simpson.

Dude, I am with you 100%. ALL THAT CRAP.

I respect Dylan, but can't stand him, like 28 says. I HATE the shit out of Deep purple, Depeche Mode, Queen, Scorpions, Whitesnake, The Who, and Prince and Jacko.

[Big J]

Why on earth do you hate Queen and the Who?

[NealIsGod]

Why on earth do you hate Queen and the Who?

Because they're Euros, and all Euros must be painted with the same brush!

[Eric]

Eric, were you reading my mind??

YES! I was in fact reading your mind LOL

Actually, #8 would be the Spears and Jessica Simpson category. With Crow, its just that she gets massive pub anywhere you look..YET, with 2-1 tix she sold less than 2k tix here a few years back. That smacks of "MANUFACTURED" to me.

[Eric]

I love me some Whitesnake tunages....

However, I must say.....I bought a Queen Greatest Hits boxed set a few years ago, and I listened to it once, puked, and then it has sat there since. I don't know why I thought I liked them so much?

Some of Sheryl Crow's old music is good. The song "Riverwide", from The Globe Sessions, is great, imo.

I don't like the boy band music, but I can't think of all their names right now. Oh yeah. Boyz 2 Men. I dont hate it , but i'm not crazy about most rap music either

[Toto_fan]

I'm Euro Living in Sweden haha, so just hate me!! It's alway fun with those who live in Us that hate everybody else. But thats fine with me I don't care.

Hope I don't upset anybody now!!

well, well

my list:

Journey just kidding

anyway:

Nirvana
All hip hop rap music (can't stand it)
All boy bands
All Punk music (thats something I really hate)

Well these are just a few.

[Rockindeano]

Thanks for the NICE reminder.

I FUCKING hate TOTO, (sorry Andrew).
That Goddamned song, "The rains of Africa."

Thanks for the nice negative start to my day, Euro.

[NoMoreTails]

If its based on only that one tune or a few of their hits, that's like others judging Journey based on Open Arms and Faithfully, you miss what the band is really about...not to say you're necessarily doing that, just if...

[NealIsGod]

I thought you like one of Toto's CDs alot, Dean?

[Angiekay]

Queen is one of those bands that you can take or leave. I like their music, they are great in concert, but to sit and just listen to one of their cds...just can't do it. ZZ Top is the same way. They put on a great show and have some cool tunes, but they wouldn't be who I'd think of if I wanted to just 'listen' to something. Of course, for me, radio has burned me out on a lot of this kind of music over the years. That's why I can't stand Boston. They had very few albums and that same handful of songs(that weren't that great to begin with)gets played OVERANDOVERANDOVER.
