What Bands/Artists Do You Hate?

Subject: Re: What Bands/Artists Do You Hate? Sun 12 Apr 2009, 17:58

Nowt like a good natured argument! We should all apply for 'Come Dine With Me'...

Bono - In Feb's Q, the man himself said, "I'm sick of Bono - and I am him". Shocked

Jamiroquai -

Cowell - Aye, agree he's got a few successful acts that make some people happy. They just leave me totally cold I'm afraid. Bear in mind this is from a curmudgeonly forty-something woman who freely admits a love of cheesy 70s disco amongst most other more or less embarrassing genres Wink

So, you've spent time hanging round outside the MEN arena watching parents taking their children to see X factor finalists?

Is this healthy? lol!

Spot on I have many atime in the course of my duties, I even have spied the odd dad clad in pink cowboy hat ( him not me) as they pass through Manchester Victoria station en route to the Arena as I am waiting for my train home, and they all look excited and happy thellittle tykes as they anticipate High school musical on ice or Girls aloud or some such stuff, alot happier than the Funeral for a Friend crowd at any rate

Agree wholly with the cram as many notes in as possible brigade, and the sexist crap that passes for most RnB and Rap.
So its Bono and U2 who drive me in to a rage, never really got into the music, but that pales into insignificance, when compared to some calling themselves Bono, or The Edge I feel embarressed even typing it, the poor bastard as well as being lumbered with The Edge has to wear a daft little hat every day of his life because he's gone abit bald.

Totally agree with the comments on here. I only like about 3-4 U2 songs, their names are hilariously bad, and I too hate the unnecessary sexism in rap/R 'n' B. Simon Cowell manufactured rubbish makes me Mad

And the fact that he used Hallelujah for the last pop tarts record made me weep, 'cause one of my friends thought she wrote it Exclamation

I love Dylan Moran's take on rap.

Oasis - Absolutely HATE them. My hate may be a tad irrational but what the heck. I can't stand them. I don't like their music and I don't like them or their attitude to other artists. Who the bloody hell do they think they are?

I would also be quite nervous of their gig attending fans. My daughter went to Hyde Park (or might have been Manchester - can't remember exaclty) a couple of years ago when Oasis were headlining. As soon as they came on stage the place seemed to erupt aggressively. They actually made their way to the back to get out of it.

yeah agree never had the experience of seeing them but my daughter has seem em a couple of times once at Old Trafford Cricket ground where she said the crowd where a complete bunch of dicks intent on trouble

Scouting For Girls - wtf? How did this bunch of cocks get success? Utter shite.

The Fratellis - see above

and R'n'B - If I hear another bloody song with a bloke rapping and a girl singing I'll throttle someone, can no-one do anything original in this genre any more?

R n B is a real odd one, it amuses me t o see the guys trying as hard as possible to look super tough and thern they start to sing in silly girly voices the lyrics are either stupid bragging or complete trite nonsense. I realise I am not the demographic and have no interest in chart music and only catch it by chance, but words failed me when I saw a bloke with cans clamped to his ear doing a bit of mixing and another chap singing that old creche favourite Heads and Shoulders knees and toes I honestly thought it was a joke, Christ Im turning into my dad

I've thought of four more

Elvis - Stole the blues, but he did/does inspire great music
Queen - Just overrated, but I agree that they broke boundaries
Coldplay - Damn Chris Martin and his Goons
Oasis - Dicks

I have to agree with Magical Trevor about Scouting for Girls= shite.

I also hate the fact that R 'n' B isn't rhythm and blues anymore like in the 60's it's rap with a bit of singing.

The Script
Scouting for Girls
Snow Patrol
N Dubz

My list could go on and on.......

I didnt explain why I dont like them, but I dont think I need to. They are all god damn awful !

Subject: Re: What Bands/Artists Do You Hate? Tue 14 Apr 2009, 17:19

I can't abide Mariah Carey - putrid songs, putrid voice - no real emotion.
Dido
Minnie Ripperton - That blasted song haunts me from my childhood - Loving yoooouuuuuu - screech, screech screech.
All the usual X factor/plastic princess garbage/Simon Cowell (God rot his eyes)

Subject: Re: What Bands/Artists Do You Hate? Wed 15 Apr 2009, 10:32

I'm with everyone else on the whole Cowell /X Factor stuff. It isn't music, it's product to be consumed and should be treated as such. It's mogadon for the masses. Dull, repetitive, empty and dreary.

Oasis - Definitely Maybe and half of Morning Glory is excellent. Forget the rest.

I can't be doing with Rap/R 'n' B either. Just doesn't connect with me. Again most of it is product to make money and has no real musical integrity.

Whoever thought Madonna was a) musically good and b) good looking is IMHO seriously deluded.

Never got the much of the 80's (and that was my late teens/ early twenties). New Romantics, ABC, Spandau, the Duranies, Stock Aitken Waterman (the 80's equivallent of Cowell) FFS Rolling Eyes

Having said that there's tons of stuff I love. I have over 300 different artists on my MP3 player.

Forgot to mention Madonna - completely agree with you Hotblack.

Subject: Re: What Bands/Artists Do You Hate? Wed 15 Apr 2009, 17:18

If I never hear another song by Celine Dion it will be too soon. Worst. Performer. EVER. Also have an issue with Oasis, as some of y'all have mentioned, and with Madonna. I know I'm supposed to like Modest Mouse, but I don't. And (whisper it) Bob Dylan really gets up my nose too. I can read his lyrics and they're gorgeous, but listening to him is another thing entirely. Just can't handle it!
