Following on from the Sweatyloaf thread, bands that you have always disliked or never seen the point in. For me its The Smiths (Jangle wangle miserable dangle) The Clash (Fake as a fakey cakey shoe man) The Rolling Stones (Pathetic whitboy blues from OAPs) The Jam (Yaaaawwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn FFS) Bruce Springsteen (A 2nd rate Steve Earle) Quoasis (Cavemen with T-Rex riffs and a caterpillar collection) Echo and the Bunnymen( Why ?? total trash and fronted by a Cnut) I could go on im sure but these are the main offenders and all guilty parties will be first up against the wall *FIRE*

I have to say, by and large, if I don't like a band, successful or otherwise, then they tend to drop of my radar to the point of "meh" rather than being arsed to "hate" them. Certainly loads of bands I can't be arsed with. Keane Coldplay Stereophonics Robbie.... I can't be arsed though.

On the whole my opinion's pretty much the same as Mooncat's although once in a blue moon a band will come along that I genuinely can't stand (fingers down the blackboard style) to listen to. Some recentish examples include Razorlight The Killers The Feeling The Fratellis these irritate the fuck out of me ggrrrrrrrr whereas the likes of Coldplay, Keane, Stereophonics are so bland but contrived with it, they either just make me chuckle or switch off

I'm not going to mention them by name again, but everyone who's read my high-octane rants against a certain bassless male/female duo knows whose appeal I find the most mystifying of all. Whereas, like Zerkalo said, the likes of Colfdplay/Keane/Stereophonics aren't even interesting enough to hate. I'll second the Jam and the Clash as well - but what's a Cnut?

Too many to count. But I'd think the Goo Goo Dolls would be top of the list...

Contemporary? All of them. Going back a bit The Eagles - everything I hate about the post Woodstock era in a nutshell. What was Joe Walsh thinking of other than the $$$$? Smug, heartless garbage spoon fed to adoring masses who have no feel for rock n roll but a burning need to be part of the in-crowd and can't help getting it wrong. Five years later they'd have been buying The Knack. That said the intro to One of These Nights is lovely - makes a nice loop. The Jam - after All Mod Cons if not before and he was both a Tory and a Chelsea fan before he discovered socialism. Style Council - more of the above with even worse styling. Spandau were more soulful. Chas n Dave are more soulful. Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Oasis & The Farm Beautiful South - misanthropy in old labour clothing. Guns n Roses - now that really *is* mock rock. A great start and a miserable decline into pomposity and self-parody. New Order - One of those bands I could like more if a) they were not lavished with so much empty-headed critical prasie and b) they would gag their singer Spandau Ultravox (post JF) Simple Minds (post 84) Madonna (apart from Lucky Star and Vogue) Simply Red - if only he would stick to funding reggae reissue labels! Elvis Costello - after Pills n Soap. He's a little bit country, a little bit jazz, a little bit classical and more than a little bit of a bore. The Verve - everything after the first two or three singles. So you think you are too good for Space Rock? Ha! Each of the above are guaranteed to make my hackles rise for various reasons. In most cases that's connected with tuneless yodeling, pretentious lyrics lifted from the back covers of books they are too medicated, ignorant or plain bone idle to actually read and / or more-street-than-thou posturing. .... and lets not forget all those hideous nameless faceless post grunge American angsty major label rock acts who took the worst elements of Pearl Jam and turned them into a shed load of platinum albums.
