What song/artist do you dislike that everyone else thinks is great?

[Dulcinea]

I can't stand "I and Love and You" by the Avett Brothers. It reminds me of a dirge.

And who gave a whiny chump like John Mayer a recording contract? I'd rather listen to broadcast tone. :puke:

[Mendocino]

1. Lady CACA

a prime example of the Emperors New Clothes Syndrome.

[Fried Green Tomatoes]

52. I agree 100%

Gaga is a cheap Madonna rip off.

[bookworm65t]

66. Second...or Third?

Emperor's New Clothes ws the analogy I've b een using too.

[taterguy]

2. Oasis

[Chan790]

3. Lots of similar shitty bands.

Phish
The Grateful Dead
Dave Matthews Band
Michael Franti and Spearhead
Dispatch
O.A.R.
The String Cheese Incident
moe

[Avalux]

4. I absolutely hate Kings of Leon.

I know, hate is a strong word, but there's something about the singer's voice; and the similarity to crappy power rock....ARGH!!!

[MorningGlow]

5. Daughtry

He always sounds like he's pinching out a loaf.

[MrScorpio]

6. Green Day

I… Can't,,, Stand… All… The… Whining.

[KurtNYC]

7. Eminem

sounds like Woody Allen rapping.

[bigwillq]

8. Adele (nt)

[nolabear]

9. U2

They just don't float my boat.

[Capn Sunshine]

34. I agree with you. I'm just over them.

U2 comes on, I actually leap to change the channel. Never used to do that.

[Brickbat]

10. Dixie Chicks.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. The Eagles.

:puke:

[pacalo]

12. Fleetwood Mac; particularly Stevie Nicks -- sounds like a Munchkin to me.

I did like Christie McVie's voice & Bob Welch.

[mysuzuki2]

13. Neil Diamond

ugh!

[astral]

63. nummmm !

[solara]

14. Celine Dion

Good voice, but her over-the-top emoting makes me cringe

[pacalo]

25. Oh YEAH. Give me 7" nails scraping across a 20' chalkboard over her emoting ANY DAY.

[solara]

29. GMTA!

:hi:

[pacalo]

30. Yeah!

:hi:

[Goblinmonger]

43. Hate her

She needs to DIAF

[BlueIris]

15. Beyonce.

I tried to love her music, I really did. No go.

[dana_b]

16. Radiohead and Coldplay

sorry - I know that some love them but they bore the hell out of me.

I agree with you on John Mayer. I would add Jack Johnson (the human sleeping pill.

[Mojambo]

23. Yup Yup.

Although I wouldn't say I dislike Radiohead as much as have extreme indifference.

Coldplay, on the other hand, I fucking hate.

[GoCubsGo]

37. Ditto.

I call them "Overplay". Every time I hear "Vida la Vida", I want to gouge out my eardrums.

[GoCubsGo]

39. Sometimes you need a human sleeping pill.

That's why I like Jack Johnson. His kind of music is good for de-stressing. I wouldn't listen to it on road trip, however.

[Kat45]

65. I totally agree about Radiohead and Coldplay.

I absolutely cannot stand Radiohead! The weird thing is that even though I'm not incredibly familiar with them, I almost always recognize them when they come on the radio. I finally figured out why that is: I hate Tom Yorke's voice, and that's what I always recognize. (I don't like the music itself either, but it's that voice that makes me cringe.)

As for Coldplay, my dislike for them takes a different form. Whenever the DJ mentions that he's played Coldplay in the previous set, I can't remember the song at all. Coldplay's music is like wallpaper to me, boring and completely unnoticeable.

[ElboRuum]

17. The Rolling Stones

[u4ic]

28. Me, too

[Tikki]

31. Me, also...

I like a couple really early numbers...later stuff, not so much.


Tikki

[21st Century FDR]

47. Blasphemy!

:grr:

[Raffi Ella]

18. Taylor freakin' Swift.

omg she Can NOT sing! She is Tone Deaf!! How did she get a contract!?

[woofless]

19. Bon Jovi

Guns & Roses

AC/DC

That's a start.

[T_i_B]

20. Never liked the Stereophonics

[nytemare]

21. Rihanna

She needs a good decongestant to open her nose or something. The voice is supremely irritating.

[NoGOPZone]

22. Led Zeppelin

[Danmel]

24. Billy Joel

Pompous, overwrought, phony profundity makes me want to blow my eardrums out!

[pacalo]

26. Definitely in my top five.

I liked only two of his songs: "Just the Way You Are" & (don't laugh) " Uptown Girl".

[astral]

64. Vienna, and The Stranger ....

.... anyways, those two songs were good, but "she's always a woman' makes me wanna puke.

[WildEyedLiberal]

33. Plus one

I can't stand Billy Joel and his songwriting is insipid.

[Arugula Latte]

40. Yep.

I liked him for a couple years when he first came out. Around the time of "Uptown Girl" I'd had enough.

[pacalo]

27. Another one: The Who (loved the "Tommy" songs, though).

[Maccagirl]

32. The Doors

their version of "Light My Fire" is one of the most annoying "classics" ever.

[Capn Sunshine]

35. Their "version" ?

They wrote the tune.

[Goblinmonger]

45. FWIW

Morrison hated the song, too.

[21st Century FDR]

48. But not nearly as much as Ed Sullivan hated it

Especially after they played it on his show.

And since I can't find the real performance anywhere, here's the fake version from the movie....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61m_Dm44RHA&NR

[Goblinmonger]

50. How dare they say "higher"

on the public airwaves. Anything I read about Ed Sullivan makes him look like more of a douche.

Can't remember if it was on the movie or I read it, but apparently when Sullivan said they would never do the show again, Morrison said, "But we already DID the Ed Sullivan show."

[southerncrone]

36. Phil Collins

[Forkboy]

38. Considering what I listen to I'm not into criticizing anyone's elses music.

There's very little music I can't find something good in anyways. The pure, mainstream pop stuff is about the only genre where I really struggle to find anything that I can get into.

[tabbycat31]

41. Dave Matthews Band

[geardaddy]

70. +1000

That and Crapbox 20.

[kwassa]

42. Pink Floyd

They put me to sleep 40 years ago, and they still do.

[kentauros]

44. Anything labeled "Adult Album Rock". Oh, and Lady Gag

My very favorite cafe in the whole wide world (Zabak's) has their SiriusXM station set seemingly permanently to "The Spectrum", and even one of the siblings running the place is sick of it ;)

Adult Album Rock on the Spectrum, or as I recently re-labeled it on my blog:

“Old Hippies Still Reminiscing While Keeping Their Kids Happy With Modern Bands” station :P


I know lady gaga has cool opinions, but her "sound" is really no different than all the rest of the commercial crap out there, and why I am so very thankful for existence of somafm :D

[skygazer]

46. Totally agree on John Mayer

Can't understand the appeal. Lot of those whiny sounding singers out there of late. Don't like any of 'em.

[donheld]

49. Rod Stewart, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra

[RobinA]

51. Joni Mitchell

OK, shoot me. I'm a traitor to my generation.

[frogmarch]

53. Judy Garland.

Oh, my freakin' ears.

[Denninmi]

54. Sorry, but I hate Elvis.

If he came around today, he'd just be another twangy country and western sensation in Nashville.

I think the only thing "special" about him was that the pushed limits in society. His music, to me, is just run of the mill rockabilly, and definitely not to my taste.

[begin_within]

56. I can't stand Bob Dylan's voice

He sounds like a goat giving birth. I'm fine with other people covering his songs, but he himself should never be allowed near a microphone.

[HughBeaumont]

57. A lot.

Rage Against the Machine, good intentions and all, bores the shit outta me musically. Let's not even count their mook/frat boy slobberers ("U hav NO fuxx1r9 music taset, azzhol! LOL!"); you'd be surprised how many supposed "mature" music fans literally want to hang you for even having such an opinion. It's sad, really.

Tool doesn't do much for me either. It sounds like Neurosis/Lysol-era Melvins-lite.

I don't get the Nirvana worship. Husker Du did this sort of thing way better.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers had one good album. Blood Sugar Sex Magic wasn't it. That band's been phoning it in since 1994 and played arenas regularly.

Pretty much all jam bands.

My Morning Jacket (no get. AT all. Sorrah)

The White Stripes. Watched 8 videos. Listened to three entire albums. Twice. Fify-star reviews be damned, I think they're mediocre at best. I find his vocals to be shrill and annoying as hell and their play-behind-the-beat drummer sounds like shite.

Yeah, I'm from Northeast Ohio and don't see what the big pants-shitting deal is about the Black Keys. Although Patrick Carney is still better than Meg White.

Vampire Weekend, Foster the People, Phoenix, Manchester Orchestra or any of the other boring, happy-ass ironic indie bands my record store manger brother-in-law gets into.

Madonna and Madonna Part II.

Moby

Fatboy Slim

No Doubt

Green Day and the 7 million or so bands that sound exactly like them.

Hinder . . . there must be more people out there who wish Creed would kiss and make up than I give credit for.

Kid Rock. It's almost cute how he's trying to be like . . . a legendary musician or something. :rofl:

[bif]

58. Jason Mraz--dumbest lyrics ever

Okay, he has a decent voice, but have you ever really listened to his lyrics? Downright embarrassing.

[IcyPeas]

59. foo fighters

[Throd]

60. John Lennon

I think John and Paul needed each other as a dreck check.

[Pool Hall Ace]

61. Roy Orbison

I'm probably the only person in the Cosmos who thinks this way, but so be it.

Oh, and Elvis, too.

[AtomicKitten]

69. Saying that is a misdemeanor in some states.

Or should be. LOL.

Roy Orbison has/d the voice of an angel, a Blue Angel

[Pool Hall Ace]

72. I know, that's why I was hesitant!

And why I leave out my location in my profile. :D

[TuxedoKat]

62. KYSS

So over-rated.

[Arugula Latte]

67. Amazing Grace. nt

[Zorra]

68. Duran Duran. nt

[Bennyboy]

71. Steely Dan....

lamest bunch of fucks ever.
