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

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.

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.

I really don't mind Local H. There are way worse post-grunge examples... Bush for example?

Actually I kind of like As Good As Dead. Forgot about Bush (I know, how could I?). Point is there are far worse bands than Nickelback.

Local H are far more than a post-grunge band. They have epic prog material like the song What Would You Have Me Do?, the groovetastic stoner rock of Buffalo Trace, the spacey-ballad Hand To Mouth, etc. While their singles may hint at something slightly post-grunge they're far more. In fact in all of their eclecticness I'd say they're more musically collected and accomplished than most tripe that gets talked about on MB.

As for bands that seem well cherished that I absolutely hate Rage Against The Machine, The Mars Volta, Between The Buried And Me, At The Drive In, and The Fall Of Troy all come to mind.

Jonas Brothers
Rihanna
Pussycat Dolls
Lil' Wayne
Miley Cyrus
U2

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.
