I second this especially Wilco. Good god. I haven't tried too hard to get into Wilco but they just leave a bad taste in my mouth when I did listen to one of their albums. It was Sky Blue Sky IIRC. I just wrote them off after listening to that album.

Thirded. I used to share an office with a guy who played Yankee Hotel Foxtrot incessantly. It was hell.

Another one for me is Lady Antebellum. They're played on the radio and in stores all the time and my mom loves them. But they are soooooo bad. BAD.

Vampire Weekend (find them terribly uninteresting)
Pearl Jam (never listened to a full album at once and dont intend to)
Wilco (haha seems like im not alone on this one!)
Foo Fighters (ugh i hate dave grohl so much, but ya foo fighters are boring)

hm im assuming there's more but those are the ones off the top of my head

Back in the 90's Guns n roses.

i hated Axl's arrogance imo he wasn't that talented by himself
the Band was talented but to me he had like that "Im the singer you are nothing without me" Ego

And i hated them more cause EVERYBODY back then really liked Guns n roses. >_>

One of the best rock voices ever? really??

Why???????

to me he just sounds raspy and whiny
in fact, i was recently hearing November rain again and that song has a great classical arrangement that is until Axl starts to sing then he puts his Axl stamp on it and ruins it..
the pattern of the vocal melody is great it fits the song but the pitch and the range of his voice doesn't fit the song.. it's like he tried to do a power ballad and failed..

but just the fact that you think he has one of the best rock voices lets me know that no matter what we say to each other this will end in disagreement lol

haha you oviously are entitled to your opinion, people seem to etiehr love or hate him. The majority of rock and roll fans though will agree with me that Appetite was one of the best rock albums ever made. Then again this is coming from someone who loves Billy Corgens voice and bands like Silversun pickups, Neil Young...etc ..High pitched dudes hit my sweet spot.

Good lord that sounded gay.
