Bands you hate that everyone else loves
 

Does Anyone have some bands they hate that everyone else seems to love?
for me its
U2
Red hot chilli peppers
the doors
led Zeppelin
van halen

Where's my change?
 

I agree with the U2 choice, they haven't been good since Joshua Tree.

My main two problems bands that everyone else drools over would be Nickleback and Daughtry. I think they suck, maybe there is some talent there, but every song they release feels more overproduced than the last one.

I don't think there's any doubt that both of these bands suck; Nickelback have an outstanding reputation of being horrible. Conversely, I actually think that they've become the metaphorical punching bag for people to beat up on every time they talk about horrible music that's out there dominating radio frequencies.

Personally, I think they just came at the wrong time -- when post-grunge had already exhausted itself as anything remotely interesting. They're no worse than the slew of shite PG bands that came before: Local H, Marcy Playground, Silverchair, etc.

RHCP
Nickelback
Jonas Brothers
Rihanna
Pussycat Dolls
Lil' Wayne
Miley Cyrus
U2
.....so many more.



For U2, I liked them up until a few years ago. I just can't stand their music now, I really can't. I also don't see the big deal with The Unforgettable Fire (song). I've seen it on a few lists of top songs and I don't understand why this song is so great. It's probably one of my most hated U2 songs.

What did it for me was their signing and release of the band Default, in my opinion one of the least talented bands of my generation. They do take a lot of flack, for good reason, but atleast they do play their own intruments.

As such, i think Rihanna, Pussycat Dolls, Lil' Wayne, Miley Cyrus, and ms. spears don't deserve to be on the same list as the actual bands. I would take nickleback over any of those "artists" in any argument.

this would be so much more interesting if people didn't be so ****ing cliche by hating on absolute **** and assert their opinions about the slew of established bands who are obviously overrated, instead of stretching the definition of "band" to include miley cyrus and the jonas brothers.

everyone on the planet with a working brain knows that those bands suck, let's hear what you have to say about pink floyd or neutral milk hotel.

I haven't heard anything good from / about nickelback, which is perhaps because the less musically interested mass audience have been trying to tune to a rather 'catchy' rock band -- which in our eyes is bland by ever means.

Carpathian Forest - I think they are an overrated typical black metal band that came around at the wrong time, with crappy lyrics.

Although we do have a similar thread let's see how it goes.

Nick Drake bores me senseless and I cannot stand the first Stone Roses album. Now that's not cliched choices.

i guess maybe I misunderstood the topic. i thought we were going after bands that everyone seems to like. anytime i get a chance to rag nickelback, I will.

Pink floyd - I like
Ston Roses - No Likey
silverchair - like (with the exception of neon ballroom)
Marcy's Playground - Didn't listen to them after I heard sex n candy

I'll also throw Green Day under the bus

I know what a BAND is, I am just including other garbage musical "talents" that are extremely popular for no good reason.

Obviously not "everyone on the planet" knows that these people suck because they have a crapload of fans for different reasons.
