Millions love this band / singer, and you don't. Name that performer.

[Ron Mexico]

Aside from all country, hip-hop and rap: The Beatles and Supertramp. I can't stand anything done by either band. Who do you guys hate that is widely loved throughout the world?

[ernstbass]

1. Queen

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Justin Timberland

:puke:

[jane_pippin]

3. Coldplay n/t

[fiveleafclover]

67. Overrated!

I agree with you 100%.

[DS1]

4. Disturbed

Hate it, it's shit

[mr blur]

5. Queen, The Police, U2,

The Eagles, ABBA, Madonna, Grateful Dead,...the list goes on

[Saphire]

6. Mick Jagger

[ProfessorGAC]

13. That'd Be My First Pick

Others for me, include Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seeger, Steve Perry, and anyone who sings with a southern accent.
The Professor

[hfojvt]

75. hey, you ain't got a thang

if you ain't got twang. Springsteen and Seger took some getting used to for me, but I liked them lyrically and musically. Truth to tell, I might hate the Stones and Zepellin even if they did have different singers. The opening bars of "start me up" inspire revulsion in me, but that could because I know Mick is about to start. Besides not liking Robert Plant at all, I do not care for Zepellin muscially or lyrically. I do not even like songs by other groups that sound like Zepellin, like Def Leppard's "Bringing on the heartache" or Journey's "Wheel in the sky" and I usually like both of those groups, even when Steve Perry is singing.

[Rising Phoenix]

7. U2

[Tikki]

14. U2.....Me 2......How does that go?...."I am sure....

....they are very talented"... but, they do nothing for me...



Tikki

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

8. I second the Supertramp

Also Black-Eyed Peas (don't know how widely loved they are, but there it is).

[progmom]

9. Led Zeppelin.

:shrug:

[LynneSin]

17. You are still breaking my heart

:cry:

[progmom]

18. I didn't say "I hate Lynnesin"

I just really do not like Led Zeppelin. :shrug:

[LynneSin]

19. But to me it's all the same

:cry:

That's how much of a fan I am of them

:cry:

:cry:

:eyes:

[progmom]

21. there there, lynne

i'd put a smiley representing me comforting you here if i weren't so swamped at work :hi:

[Bassic]

38. I hear ya

Zepplin rocks

[DancingBear]

43. LynneSin, someday I will tell you my Led Zeppelin story

You'll like it.

MuseRider knows, but she's sworn to secrecy. :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

Don't cry Lynne!

progmom can't help the fact that she's a freak. :P

[Semi_subversive]

50. I agree

I burned out on them in the late 70s.

[Kenneth ken]

62. are you me?

oh, I remember, you're the one of us with all the jazz knowledge. :7

But outside of jazz, we would seem to have a fair amount of musical affinity.

Lead Balloon never did anything for me either.

:hi:

[WeRQ4U]

10. Grateful Dead, Phish, Beatles, Doors, Santana, Springsteen, BeeGees...

Radiohead. I'm sure there are more.

Edit: FOrgot Pink Floyd

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

27. Not everybody loves Phish

That's just a cult. A very strange one.

[WeRQ4U]

32. That's reassuring.

I cannot stand them. In fact, I can't stand any of that "jam band" shit. It's just boring.

[July]

37. Out of curiosity, I have to ask.

What are some bands you do like?

[WeRQ4U]

39. Nothign too out of the ordinary. Here are some that are on my playlist.

Hum, Smashing Pumpkins, Dinosaur Jr., Mogwai, Tool, Supergrass, Sunny Day Real Estate, Dovetail Joint, At the Drive In, Refused, Tripping Daisies, Spacehog, Faith No More, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, etc.

I also listen to James Taylor, Manhattan Transfer, the Rev. Donnie McClurkin, Indigo Girls, Harry Conick Jr., Jamie Cullum, Frank Sinatra (LOVE Him),etc.

I like a lot of different music and I really can't pigeon-hole my tastes, but I just never got into those "Classic rock" and "jam" bands. I cannot bear listening to any of them (String Cheese, Leftover, PHish, Moe etc.) None of them appeal to me, even though, living in Oregon, It seemed as though I heard them all, all the time.

How about you; what type of stuff do you listen to?

[July]

42. I am a music whore.

I like all kinds of groups and singers, and sometimes end up singing something I hate just because it's on the radio.
Don't know much, can't sing for shit, but I'll listen to almost anything.

I love Sinatra, too (thanks, Dad). And James Taylor. Patsy Cline. Cole Porter songs. Pretenders. Dixie Chicks. Roxy Music. Roy Orbison, Johnny Mathis, Four Tops. I could go on all day. Once in a while I'll even go for classical music.

I have to admit that I do like a lot of "classic" rock, though, including the early days of rock 'n' roll, and I like some of the folky stuff of the '60s.

What do I hate? Madonna. Carpenters. Anything headbanger.

Unfortunately, I'm lost in a time warp and not very aware of newer music except what my sons play (I like a lot of it, but I don't know what it is).

I don't know some of the names in your first sentence -- I think I'm older than you, perhaps. I'll have to check them out.

[WeRQ4U]

59. Some of the bands in the first sentence are a little heavier...

Not so much "headbanger", but a lot crunchier than some of the other stuff you mentioned. You might like it though.

[maxpower]

11. Pink Floyd

[kwassa]

41. They cure insomnia

[woofless]

12. Bon Jovi

Guns 'n Roses
Mellencamp
Kiss
for a start.

[liberalitch]

15. ANY hip hop makes me cringe...

Except for J. Cash, Hank Williams sr., Patsy Cline country sucks too

[flvegan]

16. Britney, Jessica Simpson and Christina Agumonkeyliera

Also, any boy band. The NSync tour bus careening off a tall cliff would be a wonderful start.

[kick-ass-bob]

20. Chad Kroeger bands and clones.

x(

[calico1]

22. Elivs. Sorry. n/t

[Draill]

72. I agree with Elvis...never quite understood that one. n/t

[WildEyedLiberal]

23. Every famous band ever like U2, Zeppelin, Beatles, and the Stones

Just to prove how cool and out of the mainstream I am.

j/k, I love all those bands. Actually, I really don't like Death Cab for Cutie, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, and ESPECIALLY OMG Dave Matthews Band. HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT

[last_texas_dem]

24. AC/DC and Radiohead

I like a couple of songs by both, but think both are severely overrated.

[TK421]

25. U2....their music never did anything for me

Screw the Beatles, agreed...but Supertramp?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

26. Dave Matthews Band

Okay, they are very good, but the best band in the world today? Look, every song they do essentially sounds the same......

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. Billy Joel, Bon Jovi, Mariah Carey, Celine, Beyonce, Brittney, N'Stink,

Paula Abdul, Guns N Roses, Def Leppard, Dokken, Whitney Houston, Tiffany (what the hell happened to her anyway? Oh, that's right, her demographic finally realized how much she sucked),

The Pussycat Dolls

D.H.T.

Kelly Clarkson

Rihanna

Lifehouse

Fat Joe

Missy Elliott

Black Eyed Peas

Papa Roach

Gwen Stefani

Bow Wow

Weezer

Natasha Bedingfield

Mariah Carey

Frankie J.

Click Five

Ciara

Kelly Clarkson

The Backstreet Boys

Baby Bash

AKON

Coldplay

50 Cent

Pretty Ricky

Crossfade

Trick Daddy

Lil Rob

The Killers

Gorillaz

Rob Thomas

Bowling for Soup

And of course, all rappers and hip hoppers, and almost all new country.

And let's add Clay Aiken in case I left him out, and give another negative nod to Mariah Carey and 50 cent.

[jus_the_facts]

29. Nirvana.....hated 'em from start to *unfortunate* demise.....

:nopity:

[ghostsofgiants]

30. If you like them, I fucking hate them

[defiant1]

31. U2, Coldplay, Radiohead....

Sha Na Na

Barry Manilow

Wayne Newton

Celine Dion

Nickelback

Creed

Faith Hill (nice to look at though)

Shania Twain (see above)

George Strait (Check Yes or No, WTF kind of stupid shit is that)

[SmileyBoy]

33. Metallica

Bland sell-out metal. Lars Ulrich is the RIAA's little bitch-puppy. :puke:

[Zuni]

34. Green Day

I'd rather have my ear jammed with an icepick. Also, all NOFX, Phat wreck-chords and pretty much the entire 90's pop-punk catalog

[mvd]

35. The Beatles?

I don't understand your dislike, but to each their own.


I don't like most rap, even from rappers who are loved (LL Cool J, Jay-Z)

I don't like some of the corporate rock, a la Staind, Linkin' Park, and Creed.

Some heavy metal (Kittie, Pantera, death metal in general)

I don't like most of Bjork's stuff, and I usually

Christina Aguilera, Hilary Duff, and Jessica Simpson annoy me

B*Witched sounds as childish as those kiddie albums I had

There are more.

[Initech]

36. I'd have to second Nirvana.

There's a reason "You Know You're Right" was never released - the song sucked!

[Heidi]

40. Tim McGraw.

Reason? "Indian Outlaw." It had to be said. :shrug:

[Beaverhausen]

44. Bob Dylan- although with time he is growing on me

[OldLeftieLawyer]

46. That happens

If you ever have the chance to go through Dylan's catalogue, you might be surprised to find that he's written some of the most beautiful love songs of the twentieth century.

I've always been a fan, but that surprised even me.

[Beaverhausen]

47. Do you know about the new documentary about him coming out next week?

directed by Scorcese?

[OldLeftieLawyer]

53. I do, yes

I have already listened to the soundtrack about a hundred times, and I've already ordered the DVD. Four hours of BobFest, as Neil Young would say.

I've heard from friends in the UK, where the DVD's already out, that it's utterly brilliant. Big surprise, huh?

[Beaverhausen]

56. My boyfriend- also a songwriter- is convincing me to pay closer attention

I have to say that it was hard to me to listen to Dylan's songs because I can't stand his voice but if my boyfriend sings them to me I appreciate them. :loveya:

And many other artists have covered his songs and I do like them.

[Beaverhausen]

45. Oh wait...how could I forget. MADONNA. I hate her

that whiny voice.

that one trick pony schtick she has.

bleech. no thanks.

[donheld]

54. I'm one of only a few 46 year olds

that still loves Madonna!

[jobycom]

48. James Taylor.

Lots of others. I'm bored with almost everything from before 1998.

[Semi_subversive]

49. Sting!

He makes my ears bleed!

[MrSlayer]

51. Bruce Springsteen

I just don't get it. The guy is a terrible singer, I mean terrible, his songs are stupid high school laments and yet he sells out Madison Square Garden 8 nights in a row.

[Jade Fox]

64. Yep. Very over-rated as a rocker....

He's better in his later incarnation as a singer-songwriter. But his version
of rock & roll stunk up the place.

[donheld]

52. Rod Stewart

:puke:

[Gregorian]

55. Blonde Redhead

Television
Richard Hell and the Voidoids
The Dogfaced Hermans
Greenday
The Greatful Dead. (I got dragged to more Dead concerts than anything. So I am qualified to say they sound like diahrria.)

I'm drawing blanks, but the list is a lot longer than this. I am the quintessential music listener. I've been glued to the radio during all of my waking hours for thirty years. College radio, not repetitive crap. So I have a pretty fucking open mind. BTW, you'll notice that the Greatful Dead are purposefully omitted from any and all college radio programming. If that isn't testament to their suckness, I don't know what is. Having said that, I own Mars Hotel, which I like, but no deadheads like. Go figure. blablabla....


edit- I suppose not like the Dead disqualifies me from being a poster at DU. I have a feeling everyone here loves them.

Hey, don't feel bad about the beatles. I didn't like them either. Although I am begging to appreciate them.

[blondeatlast]

57. Gwen Stefani. Rock don't shop at Neiman's, sister. nt

[mitchum]

58. The "genius" of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys...

I like to wind up his acolytes by saying that he was never crazy, just severely learning disabled.

Also, U2 really really suck. Always have.

[swag]

60. Truly the Beach Boys are the unparalleled worst.

Excellent post.

[swag]

61. Truly the Beach Boys are the unparalleled worst.

Excellent post.

[chaska]

63. Stevie Ray Vaughn

[mikita]

65. elvis... n/t

[donheld]

66. Frank Sinatra

:wtf: :banghead:

[Broken_Hero]

68. KISS

and the Rolling Stones, and Grateful Dead, i never liked any of them, and with the exception of the Stones (I do like a few songs) i can't stand any of their music....

[njdemocrat106]

69. I can't say I HATE any band (except for some nu-metal)...

but it seems that everyone in the world is gaga over Metallica, Radiohead and the Smiths. I don't hate them (in fact, Morrissey is a pretty good songwriter IMO), but they are FAR, FAR from being my favorites. I'll go on record as saying that I like a lot of the most hated bands/singers here, including Supertramp, Billy Joel, Styx, the Eagles, REO Speedwagon, Bruce Springsteen, Yes, Genesis w/Phil Collins, and Def Leppard. I can honestly say I loathe Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park (and probably most bands of their genre). And as far as I'm concerned, those who diss Elvis and/or the Beatles are akin to Freepers, in my book.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

70. lenny kravitz

i fuckin hate that fuckin fucker

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

71. post-60s bob dylan

he sold out, went christian, played corporate merger parties, grew a stupid moustache, and tried to pretend there were no politcal themes ever in his music to justify his selling out

oh yeah, and his recent music blows, too

[Robeson]

73. Aerosmith = schlock.

[chknltl]

74. ZZ TOP and AC DC
