Popular bands that you think stink

Don't know where to start!

Pearl Jam. This is not grunge. It's crap pop junk for teenage angsty girls. I hate whiney Eddie Vedder. Man, he sucks. Can't hit the off button fast enough.
You have to shoot yourself with a shotgun or die from a heroin overdose to be good grunge.

Red Hot Chili Peppers. Anything after Mothers Milk is pure crap. His crap "singing" worked on first albums. "How long, how looong U Onnng" do I have to hear this aweful song? Bury it under a bridge somewhere please. FOREVER.

So many more..... but there is one song and one artist that exemplifies just how low "country music" has sunk.

Sam Hunt. "Body like a Backroad".
When I hear this, it just pisses me off. I could be having the best day in history, but if this song comes on, I just want to start throwing things. I want to run over little animals. It's got everything I hate: Bubbly poppy jingle. Stupid guitar playing. Bad guitar tone. Horrible vocal. Irritating and grating "melody" you will never forget, because it sucks more than you'd think humanly possible. Juvenile and lovey-dovey lyrics. Like it was written for yer 12 years fans of Eddie Vedder. God, I hate this song.
If I see a dude enjoying it, I want to kick them in the nuts (if they had any) just for their own good.
 
I grew up going to see/hear KISS and bought all the records then all the cd's. I died a little bit inside when Lemmy said KISS was not rock-n-roll. Ouch! It still hurts.

If it makes you feel any better, Lemmy might have said that anyone not named Lemmy is not rock-n-roll and been correct. :cool:

lemmy used to sit at the miss pac man machine and hit on my buddies wife while they played in CA. heard he was "interesting" fella
 
anything autotuned.

Bro country.

Any band who plays the same 3 chords in every song. So yes, that rules out AC/DC, The Stones, and many others 60's and 70's 'iconic' bands besides Led Zeppelin.

I've never been into 'jam bands' but I have seen several of these bands live like the DMB with Bela Fleck.....who warped my sense of what music and jazz and things that can be done with a mandolin and banjo. Very underrated musician IMO.

I played in a Nu-Metal band in the late 90s/early 2000s so bands like Korn and Tool and all those weirdo long haired dudes who's music never got much airplay are now old rich dudes I still like keeping up with.

I pretty much hate every rap song after 2000 because none of it is original or authentic anymore. So I guess the bro-country and COLT FORD (puke...) just ripped them off.

Hipster rock they play on 106.5 really pisses me off, although I dig some bands like Imagine Dragons for being creative. Mostly not though.

on SIRIUS my favorite station is TURBO, then hair nation, then whatever after that is random.

I will say one that I'm sure tons hate but I absolutely Love from the 90's is back. Hootie and the blow fish is getting back together for a new album and tour.

Booty and the Ho fish as we used to call them. I worked in a music store called Coconuts when their album was at its prime. I liked it ok, just got SOOOO burned out on it. It's like Counting Crows, heard so much of it I almost can't stand it now.

I was thinking of seeing if I can still find a copy of Candlebox.....

A lot of the ones mentioned in this thread, I agree with in terms of dislike.

My biggest hates on these topics are these more modern soft rock singers pretending to be country music.

Here's mine: Green Day

They suck at epic levels. As a matter of fact, as much as I can't stand Pearl Jam, Bon Jovi, any and all country music, Rap and Hip Hop, the Chili Peppers, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Pink Floyd (except for "Money") and several others, I'd be willing to listen to any of those, instead of Green Day. There's one song when it comes on that starts out "Do you have the time, to listen to me whine?" and when it does, even when I'm by myself, I say out loud, "Hell no I don't!" before changing the channel.

Hootie was a great band for what they are and Darius Rucker is plain awesome.

Darius is good people.... I used to hang out with him when he was up in Blacksburg playing at the Balcony. The Blowfish would stay over at my neighbors in the Apartment Complex.... Laid back and cool.... and that was before it was like "Hootie!!!!!!".... hear that he is the same ole dude.

Dave Matthews served me a beer at the bar he used to work in near UVA.. I said... Don't you sing for a band, cause I swear you look like the dude that was at the Pika House last week....?

He said, yep... what did you think? I literally said.... "Don't quit bartending"

Well there's the problem: you're listening to the words. Just bang your head ... the words are just, well, noise.

Besides, don't those lyrics pretty much sum up every country song ever written?

Maybe so. That explains why I can't stand Green Day, any of their songs, and all of country music in it's totality.

I couldn’t understand a word that they caterwaulled, was going say sung but that wouldn’t be right. Always wondered why the album had an EXPLICIT warning on it and thought it was amusing that the middle school kids would come in with their parents wanting it.

I wouldn't call you "crazy", but a heretic.

If you're from the South and can listen to EAP sing "Dixie" without it putting a lump in your throat and making your eyes a bit misty, sump'uns wrong with ya....get to the doctor.

Reminds me of one of my favorite jokes...

"Do you know how a DeadHead changes light bulb?"
"They don't, they just watch it burn out and then follow it around for 50 years."

The only song Vedder did that I cared for was "society"

Just in case you need help not liking Pearl Necklace Jam:


I typically try to not let an actor's or singer's idiotic personal beliefs interfere with my entertainment enjoyment...but when someone wishes ill will on me or my "4 year old" due to me having guns. Line crossed.
 
Anything autotuned
REM
All jambands
U2
Rush
All country not named Johnny Cash
Nickelback
Any Metallica after "And Justice...", and you might even be able to include that garbage as well
All rap....ALL OF IT
99.9% of pop

There's a lot more, but that's what comes to mind at first.
 
John Cougar Melloncamp. Absolutely can not stand his "music". And the nail in the coffin, claiming Jack & Diane was about black kids (not that the color even matters, just the timing) when the BLM stuff hit the fan to get another 15 minutes of fame.

LOL. The first video shows just how formulaic bro country or hick hop is. It literally plays a mash up of 6 songs tied together and it all sounds the same. Most of todays "country" would actually play on the pop stations in the 80's. I think a lot of them are trying to go the Taylor Swift route. I actually like a little of everything music wise. About the only things I don't listen to is thrash metal and jazz.

Wow!

Woooooooow!

Apparently a YouTube user can restrict which types of sites they want their videos to be embedded on. Pearl Necklace Jam has decided to restrict Eddie’s gun own tirade on “those people’s” websites. Aren’t we special?!

I accidentally clicked into this thread, and since I don't even know who 90% of the groups mentioned are, I'll just quietly slip back out.





But not without saying that I could never stand Frank Sinatra (my parents' generation, not mine).
