Name a band that you don't like that everyone else does

[Hugabear]

For me, it's Led Zeppelin. I like "Immigrant Song", but for the most part, anytime I hear them come on the radio, I have to turn the station. I can't quite put my finger on why I don't like them, just for some reason I don't.

A band that I used to really love but now I almost can't stand is Rush. I know that's rock heresy, maybe it's because the classic rock stations seem to play them over and over, ad nauseum. Whenever I hear Rush come on, I cringe inwardly. AC/DC is starting to get that way for me also.

I'm sure that I'll eventually go back to liking Rush and AC/DC. But Led Zeppelin, not so sure about that. Never really was a big fan of theirs to begin with.

[Angry Dragon]

1. Stones

[csziggy]

2. Same here - They had some occassional good riffs

But overall, I find their music abrasive and the members of the band repellent.

[TrogL]

25. Me too. Please make some attempt to hit the pitches

[Lucinda]

3. Rush - I can take them in very small doses

Geddy's voice and the hyper quality of a lot of the music bugs me

[RebelOne]

12. I can't even take them in small doses. n/t

[cherish44]

17. Kind of agree with you on Rush

Geddy Lee's chimpmunk voice and those crazy time changes that happen throughout their songs aren't my cup of tea. But I have some friends who are RABID fans so I keep my opinion to myself around them cuz I'm nice like that...

[digonswine]

4. AC/DC-yes-

Also-I don't mind Van Halen myself--but my wife wants to roll out of the car door when they come on.

[Maccagirl]

28. A bunch of screeching noise from the guitars

to the vocals.

[MrScorpio]

5. I can't stand Green Day

Too much damn whining.

[XemaSab]

23. You're not alone

Whining + commercial pandering = fail.

[Codeine]

32. +1

That guy's voice and those generic chugging riffs make my skin crawl.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. The Eagles.

:puke:

[7wo7rees]

18. +1

Overplayed to the point of saccharine.

[progressoid]

40. Yeah...

Dislike the Eagles but I like Joe Walsh.

[HopeHoops]

7. The Backside Boys - no wait - I don't think anyone actually DOES like them.

[MilesColtrane]

8. R.E.M.

And, U2 to a lesser extent.

[nolabear]

9. U2.

I think (Pride) In the Name of Love is brilliant but I've heard it done by others and like it much more than by Bono. I dunno; I just don't grok the appeal.

[bif]

10. Most music from the late 60s and early 70s

Mainly because I listened to it a lot back then. And I'm not into nostalgia. I like a lot of new stuff though.

[MorningGlow]

11. +1 on Zep. I'm not a big fan of "overwrought". Also...

Pearl Jam--dare I say I hate Eddie's voice (ducking now). The only other times I've heard that much quaver was from junior high schoolers on their first choir solos.

And Red Hot Chili Peppers. They just don't appeal to me. :shrug:

[Throd]

13. The Clash

[burrfoot]

14. The Beatles. n/t

[lazarus]

15. also don't like Zep. also, Rush

Most of the stuff by The Who and The Rolling Stones.

[WinkyDink]

16. U2. Metallica.

[Kali]

19. polyfuckingphonic spray

flaming lips

lotta new shit seems to suck, prozac pop is what I think of :puke:

[HughBeaumont]

37. Behavior-med hipster crap annoys me also.

Most of it just sounds like either playpen Nick Drake or playpen Aphex Twin.

[Danmel]

20. Not a band exactly

But Billy Joel makes my skin crawl. Pompous, self aggrandixing overblown crap.

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

21. Coldplay - Eagles

Yes - Rush

But especially Coldplay

[GReedDiamond]

22. Apparently I'm not alone in my dislike of...

...The Eagles, AC/DC, Green Day, U2, Metallica...(and borderline Rush, although I like them more than I used to, for reasons as yet unknown).

I would add to that Coldplay, even though I almost worship Brian Eno. I am deeply conflicted about that. Perhaps I am ignorant and/or in denial about Coldplay. I just don't hear it.

I also think Led Zeppelin is good through their first 5-7 albums, or so, so, I am in disagreement with the OP on that.

[Mopar151]

24. Fleetwood Mac - particularly "Rumors"

Heard it WAY too many times...

Same with Yes "Owner of a Lonely Heart" - though I like their earlier stuff.

Disco-era BeeGees and any solo Barry Gibb

[Cant trust em]

43. I feel like I can't turn onto classic rock or oldies radio without hearing those songs.

I could never hear a song from their self-titled album or Rumours ever again.

[Suji to Seoul]

26. Bee Gees

[blue neen]

27. The Who (except for "Tommy")

My son is going to be really pissed at me for saying that! :)

[Cant trust em]

46. I'm really not into Tommy.

I listened to it a few months ago for the first time in a long time. Then I remembered why its been a long time.

[pink-o]

29. You people are ALL Philistines!!!

So let me get this straight: The Stones, The Beatles, Green Day, REM, U2, Pearl Jam.....so what do you listen to? Josh Groban? James Blunt?

[MrScorpio]

31. Billie Joe Armstrong is the whiniest singer on the entire planet

A herd of wild elephants couldn't drag me one inch away from that assertion

Also, my otherwise musical tastes are well documented in the Lounge

[pink-o]

34. We''ll have to agree to disagree, then! n/t

[Bluzmann57]

30. Fleetwood Mac

With a qualifier. Fleetwood Mac was a GREAT band before they went pop friendly. They wanted to make money and theyu succeeded. But it destroyed their artistic integrity.

[Codeine]

33. Coldplay. I just do not fucking get that shit. At all.

Maroon 5.

Black Eyed Motherfucking Peas -- good GOD they suck.

Staind.

I could go on all day.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

35. Led Zep. They were crap back in 1970.

way too much distorted guitar.

You want to hear tasteful distortion, listen to Brian May of Queen.

"NO PLAYING STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN" -- Wayne's World is on HBO right now. :D

[HughBeaumont]

36. Dave Matthews Band. I hate that band with the heat of ten hypergiants.

All that talent, and all they can write is the most annoying, sing-songy, pedestrian, flatulent and just painfully ordinary radio garBAGE ever foisted on man.

And yes, I've listened to at least 5 albums.

Runner up has to be Phish. DON'T get it. AT all. Must be a weed/shroom thing and I'm just "on the outside looking in" . . . or something.

[cbdo2007]

38. Agree. I've never once liked any part of any DMB song. I just don't get it I guess.

[WildEyedLiberal]

42. Agree with DMB

I never got why they were so big, and I still don't. Lame, forgettable pop rock.

[cbdo2007]

39. Kings Of Leon

They really seem like the type of band I would like...kind of a throwback 70's sound, but I just really can't get into them at all.

Then a few years ago I heard this awesome song on the radio and I thought it was excellent but didn't know what they were saying. I looked it up and it was that "Sex On Fire" song which has a GREAT sound to it, but those are about the dumbest lyrics I've ever heard. Of course then I found out also it was Kings Of Leon and it all made sense.

I've tried multiple times but just can't like them even though everyone tells me I'm supposed to like them. They just seem like a mediocre band that wouldn't have made it 20 years ago but currently we celebrate mediocrity as greatness because the bar is set so low.

[Cant trust em]

44. They used to be a lot cooler.

Their first two albums are really good and then their last three are just too pop sounding. They're starting to sound like Coldplay.

[Toblerone]

41. Aerosmith

Never understood how they were so popular. Same boring song and, same boring song and...
A couple others:
U2, except for the early stuff every song sounds the same, low talent
Jimmy Buffet - annoying and gets old really fast

[Cant trust em]

45. Pink Floyd.

Their songs just sound so dozy and bland.
