Older Bands/Musicians :
1) Foreigner. Listen to the rich lyrical complexity of such hits as "Urgent" and "Cold as Ice". They were awful.
2) Loverboy. "Working for the Weekend" is played on every classic rock station of Friday afternoons. They're terrible.
3) Aerosmith
4) Velvet Underground (Yes, yes, YES! I know they're the godfathers of alternative and punk, but they still suck!)
5) Yes, Rod Stewart. Nothing else needs to be said.
6) All of that 1970's whiny pseudo-folk, like America, Bread, and their ilk.

Newer Bands
1) POD, Puddle of Mud, Good Charlotte, Chevelle, Staind, Linkin Park, Evanescence, and all the crappy pierced, shaved, tatooed, and talentless pre-packaged alterna-rockers. This is the trend that replaced the pre-fab boy bands of the late 1990's and guess what? The music sucks just as bad.
2) Avril Levigne (spelling?). I about rolled over laughing when an MTV interviewer referred to her as "punk". Her music is a staple for easy listening light rock stations. How, by any stretch of the imagination, is she punk? Has anyone at MTV ever listened to the Sex Pistols, Clash, Black Flag, Fear, Ramones, Circle Jerks or Suicidal Tendencies and noticed that Avril resembles Debbie Boone far more than any of these bands?
