Bands you don't like that everyone else loves....

I don't really like U2.
Which bands do you dislike that everyone else seems nuts for?

The rolling stones

Steve The Great on Oct 26 '11 at 9:41pm

muse. I mean, I don't hate them or whatever, I just don't listen to 'em.

ivanrodero on Oct 26 '11 at 10:39pm

The Beatles and Nirvana and everyone says nooooo

taz-pie on Oct 27 '11 at 3:40am

THE BEATLES.
i hate those fuckers.

jamesf on Oct 27 '11 at 3:49am

never really got new order or joy division.

u2 used to be tolerable - but that was twenty years ago. and that bono's a cunt

taz-pie on Oct 27 '11 at 3:53am

kings of leon
u2
the rolling stones
lady gaga

jamesf on Oct 27 '11 at 3:56am

i prefer to sit in my dark hole and listen to sufjan stevens

i'm loving get real get right at the moment. especially the trumpet right at the end.

whilst i accept that the stones have been a joke band for about thirty years, the stuff they did up to the mid seventies was pretty good on the whole

Bramish on Oct 27 '11 at 4:15am

The Beatles
U2
The Rolling Stones
Muse
The majority of pop indie bands like The Strokes, The Killers, Coldplay etc

With the exception of Muse, most of the bands I dislike have done at least one song I really like

tesco on Oct 27 '11 at 4:18am

no one likes U2

Bramish on Oct 27 '11 at 4:19am

Bono fucking loves em

tesco on Oct 27 '11 at 4:22am

Bonio can kindly go away

Gar0 on Oct 27 '11 at 4:26am

I loved the Cure before Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, but hated them after that album. Seems though most people love the Cure's later stuff (post Disintegration).

SJ27 on Oct 27 '11 at 6:04am

Skrillex.

d3d on Oct 27 '11 at 6:09am

i loved the cure prior to kiss me kiss me kiss me too, but they didn't do anything i liked from about the mid 90s. except for one good song on the Crow soundtrack in 96.
i can't really think of a band that everyone loves and i don't. foo fighters? haven't liked them since the first two albums, but i doubt anyone else has either.

quick-brown-fox on Oct 27 '11 at 6:17am

Coldplay. Even more so now because a UK company is using where is my mind by the pixies, played in a fix you style. Also, I was trying to escape them at a festival and in the melee my girlfriend got hit in the face with a camping chair. I blame them for that too.

Mat Pringle on Oct 27 '11 at 6:28am

All of them.

U2 are especially fucking turgid and repugnant though.

Manic Street Preachers - how the fuck are they still making records? Who's buying them? I'll cut them.

Arcade Fire are okay but not worthy of the wet-tipping they seem to get. Meant to be cunts in real life too.

Oh and I forgot the worst of the bunch - RHCP. Oooooooooooooof. Squared.

Tonteau on Oct 27 '11 at 6:29am

Bob Dylan.

Mat Pringle on Oct 27 '11 at 6:36am

Bod Dylan isn't a band.

Plus he's the rad.

Tonteau on Oct 27 '11 at 6:48am

Up yours!

dandingeroz on Oct 27 '11 at 6:49am

mars volta

tesco on Oct 27 '11 at 6:57am

Agree with Bob Dylan. Although he did write one of my fav songs, but i like the cover version.

martiandrivein on Oct 27 '11 at 7:04am

MGMT, Foster the People, Pearl Jam, Bright Eyes--I'm sure I'll think of more.

Also some of the ones mentioned in here, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Coldplay

bcrider on Oct 27 '11 at 7:10am

U2 (now, not then)
The Beatles
Nirvana
Rolling Stones

dandingeroz on Oct 27 '11 at 7:12am

JONAS BROTHERS!

bcrider on Oct 27 '11 at 7:18am

LOL.

I thought of another one; Red Hot Chili Peppers. I hate them about as much as I hate Nirvana. Which is quite a bit. The lead singer's voice is HORRIBLE.

Bramish on Oct 27 '11 at 7:20am

Foo Fighters
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Bright Eyes - guy sounds like a bleating lamb for chrissake

Foo Fighters first album was ace, but the rest I dislike.

I used to dislike Bob Dylan, or at least I thought I did. A friend turned me on to him. I got his entire discography pretty much - about 1000 songs - and sure, he's done some shit, but most of his stuff pre-1980 is great.

Bramish on Oct 27 '11 at 7:20am

Oh yeah, Manic Street Preachers. Really, really dislike them.

jamesf on Oct 27 '11 at 7:30am

i like the holy bible, but that's about it. it's a mystery to me how they got so big with everything must go. everything is shit, more like.

i love a bit of bob dylan.

oasis - one good album (the first one) and the rest is all fucking awful

Gar0 on Oct 27 '11 at 7:42am

The Charlatans.
The Prodigy.
James.
That Irish band that sang 'Linger'.

Some of the lowlights of 90s music for me, but firm favourites in every student hovel south of Watford.

Tonteau on Oct 27 '11 at 7:45am

Dylan; just don't like his voice or jangly american folk. He's written some decent tunes, but don't like his versions of them.

I used to not like the beatles, but I've mellowed. They've done some great stuff.

Tonteau on Oct 27 '11 at 7:46am

Gav, no one likes that lot anyways. No one in the US will have heard of them.

House of pain. I know no one likes them but everyone seems to like 'jump around' and that song just grates my ears.

SJ27 on Oct 27 '11 at 7:53am

Adele. Or more specifically, that one song by Adele.

d3d on Oct 27 '11 at 8:18am

red hot chili peppers are another band i loved in the 90s who haven't done much good since. i'd say the same of weezer and pearl jam. everyone's naming bands that aren't massively popular anyway. there's so much to choose from these days that only the most common radiofriendly pop gains a huge following.

Musarter on Oct 27 '11 at 8:30am

The Hot Peppers were good pre-Blood Sugar Sex Magic; after that album they sucked.

U2 were great cerca Joshua Tree. Not in love anymore.

Here is one for the list: Death Cab for Cutie. Their music is decent but the singer sounds like such a winer.

tesco on Oct 27 '11 at 8:31am

Tupac. It took me years to appreciate the West Coast sound, but to this day I still cant enjoy Pac.

Jay Z. His popularity and success don't correlate with his skills at all. Kudos to his business acumen, I suppose.

Tonteau on Oct 27 '11 at 9:16am

Yeah. I couldn't even name like a single Jay-Z choon.....apart form 99 problems.

I'll give you another, Fecking Mumford and Sons. I can see they're not simply total bollocks, but I never understood how they got so, so, so popular.

SJ27 on Oct 27 '11 at 9:21am

They use the F word a lot.

martiandrivein on Oct 27 '11 at 9:23am

Also, Girl Talk and Arcade Fire can suck it.

corey9 on Oct 27 '11 at 9:24am

Patsy Cline

Tonteau on Oct 27 '11 at 9:40am

Lou Reed and the velvet underpants.

t-thyme on Oct 27 '11 at 9:41am

Dave Matthews Band. Can't say I hate them, per se, but after awhile Dave's voice really starts to grate on my nerves. I dig the instrumental jams up until Dave starts his yodeling and ruins it for me. I quite like when Victor Wooten joins them on stage, though - primarily because I have a massive basscrush on him.

quick-brown-fox on Oct 27 '11 at 9:41am

Glasvegas can fuck off

Tonteau on Oct 27 '11 at 9:43am

Haha Glasvegas are hideous............on the ears.

xiv on Oct 27 '11 at 9:45am

Green Day

t-thyme on Oct 27 '11 at 9:50am

also, Maroon 5

and for my non-band contribution:

John Mayer. he irritates the shit out of me.

ivanrodero on Oct 27 '11 at 9:58am

Oh I hate Pearl Jam too

And I add to the list, Björk.

Twiggyhall on Oct 27 '11 at 11:07am

Coldplay

I agree the newer Cure, Red Hots, Pearl Jam = terrible

Anything with fucking autotuning.

Really anything on popular radio: Katy Perry, Rhianna, etc. etc. yadda yadda yadda

RAP. Sorry, world!

L-M-N-O-P on Oct 27 '11 at 1:12pm

Too many to list.

quick-brown-fox on Oct 27 '11 at 1:23pm

Several of my mates will kill me for this, but Leonard Coen. He needs to listen to some 2 unlimited and cheer up

Chipmnk on Oct 27 '11 at 1:24pm

I don't think there's any band that I downright hate. There's just stuff I like and then stuff i don't listen to.

I was surprised that I didn't feel Bright Eyes. At all. Most people have said, "You love Elliott Smith? You should listen to Bright Eyes!" But not the same.
