For me the prime candidate is....Steely Dan. I cannot stand them. I have to turn them down if they come on the radio. They somehow manage to produce an almost allergic reaction in my head. Where others hear wit, finely crafted and expertly performed songs, all I hear is elevator music for coke sniffing californian yuppies. Is it me ?.... The less said about James 'fill my ears with boiling tar please' Taylor, the better. I like them both

So glad snow patrol and coldplay have both cropped up. One song rehashed with cynical banality, accompanied by whining vocals reminiscent of a child pleading to go the toilet.

With you on Neil Young. As for Pinky and Perky, nearly as bad as Hall and Oates.

I couldn't agree more. Mark Knopfler is such a tedious soulless guitarist and Dire Straits are utterly bland AOR dad rock. Walk Of Life is beyond hideous - a creation of pure evil. Surely there was malice aforethought. It resides in the bowels of Satan's very own jukebox along with Come On Eileen and Margarita Time.
