Topic: Bands you just can't stand

We all have artists that just make up want to leap off a cliff. Now I know that this will start some heated disputes but please remember that these are opinions and should be respected.

On my part I just hate:

Oasis
Celine Dion ..... yes she grew up just a little ways from where I live but I can't stand her
Sean Paul


Michel

I may be goin' to hell in a bucket babe

Re: Bands you just can't stand

Gwen Steffani...where is the talent?
Justin Timberlake
Tom Petty
Pillar
No Doubt

Re: Bands you just can't stand

Def Leppard.

That is all.

Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: Bands you just can't stand

It's a common thing now to ATTACK James Blunt.
Probably he cares, but in the mean time he's laughing, you're beautiful, and you bought my records.

There are some female singers. I really hate to listen to their music, they don't are aware of the fact you can sing a song without changing their "singing" from low to high 2 seconds, and the from high to low in 2 seconds.
AND 100% IF IT IS CALLED AGAIN RHYTHM AND BLUES. They neither hold their Rhythm, and it's definite NO BLUES. I'd rather prefer the "SPICE OLD WOMEN", they are no girls anymore.

Should it be a POSH /BECKHAM stunt again?

Re: Bands you just can't stand

Any silly pop what i call bubblegum music! Meaningless drivel.
I also think all these girl and boy bands who don't play instruments, they all sound the same to me.

Re: Bands you just can't stand

Re: Bands you just can't stand

Re: Bands you just can't stand

A band that I just can't listen to is Foreigner.  I may take some flak from all the classic rock lovers here but they kinda make my skin crawl.

Re: Bands you just can't stand

Panic (exclamation point!) at the disco and Maroon 5.

Re: Bands you just can't stand

I know, strictly speaking, they aren't bands but Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Whitney Houstan (spelling?) make me want to chew my own wrists off. All that tonsil wobbling and voice gymnastics, yuck.

Re: Bands you just can't stand

slayer, wham, spice girls and any other manufactured boy/girl band, dance bands, this r and b stff that is not really r andb but jus some sort of jazzy soul crap. hmmm, britney, justin,tiffaney etc all crap.
tha other band that I cannot and do not want to remember the name of but had that guy jusin singing really high in spandex thingcalled love song...ok enough on them before i remember the name.
most women singers unless they play the guitar so a few are safe from my hate list
garth brookes, babyshambles, vevet revolver, that guy that won that competition paul dodds or whatever sort of opera pish he done.
ermm ( I have a lot of hate in me right now, :LOL: )
McFly, the other band I keep getting mixed up with Mcfly, james blunt, dj's that get a name for using other peoples music, and an other dj that plays crap music.
ok, my hate list will have to end there for just now, even though I know I hae missed a few out.

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending

Re: Bands you just can't stand

I am also not a fan of the vocal gymnastics.  If anyone is interested in amazing vocal gymnastics that don't suck, go old school with Mahalia Jackson.  A four octave range any note of which is available to her after any preceeding note.  Classically trained and simply amazing.  And yet, while I appreciate her talent and skill, I don't enjoy the musical genre. 

Boy bands.  None of them have entertained me.  Just don't care for the style.  Again, I do appreciate the skill in harmonizing well.

Lots and lots and lots of hair bands, or the style of stadium rock in general.  Poison, Ratt, Guns n Roses, etc.  Not saying it's bad, just saying it's not to my taste. 

Talking country.  Freddy Fender did some songs like that.  They all did some like that back in the day, so I probably shouldn't pick on Mr. Fender.  I like country, but not the talking country of yesteryear.  Makes me want to puke.  "And darling, I just need you to know..."  BLAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Punk.  With due apologies to our esteemed moderator, his kilt, and whatever is up it, but I don't care for punk one whit. 

I'm pretty much a blues, country, classic rock, and alternative rock (for which I am still trying to figure out what is alternative about them, same four chords, same progressions).   Plus I love '60's Soul!  It's tough to beat Wicked Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Ray Charles.  That genre and era was awesome.  Good tunes, simple instrumentation, lyrics about stuff I can understand.  Mostly.  More or less.  Well, I'm still not sure how to dust a broom, but I understand where he's coming from on "Sittin' On The Dock of the Bay."  I use that one as a lullaby.  My daughter at 4, who has shown an aptitude for picking up lyrics and melody, learned it from me singing it to her at night.  I didn't realize she was memorizing the songs, but I went back to check on her in the shower once and here's this little blond 4-year-old who's never known hunger or worried for a place to sleep belting out "I've got nothing to live for, ain't nothing going to come my way..."  Hilarious.   I guess you had to be there.  Don't nobody start lining up to watch my daughter in the shower!

Re: Bands you just can't stand

I'm with the majority. I hate boy/girl bands. Anything that crawled from the gutter to try out for Pop Idol - if they had the talent they wouldn't need the help of a reality TV show. I don't like classical, country n western, opera... not that it's bad, just not my bag.

Nothing to do with music, but god I hate Paris Hilton.

I must say that although I don't like this particular sound, I do love classicaly trained singers i.e opera. But they're in a different league to these whiny,self absorbed, divas.

lol,
no need for appologies, some of my close friends detest some of the music I like whether it be punk, folk, rock, heavy rock, heavy metal, country.

everyone has their own tastes

another style of music I dont care for much but I really appreciate the way it is done is Indian music, the kind ye hear in indian films and when yer sitting in an indian restaraunt. Although when ye sit in an indian restaraunt it just is not the same if you hear anythin other than indian music.



Ken

Re: Bands you just can't stand

My pet hates,
are some of the Irish Country/ Western singers here! Great gutteral Irish Accents { nothing wrong with that }But when they sing they use an American twang to there singing { Nothing wrong with American accents either} Why cant  they just sing with there own natural voices?

Old Doll.

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !

I actually moved out of an apartment because the woman who moved in upstairs from us played Indian music loudly.  Everyone played music loudly there, so loud music wasn't a problem.  Now, the person who lived there prior to this woman had a boyfriend in the merchant marines, and when he came in from the sea he "came in from the sea".  We got loud music at all hours to play over the other noises.  But she had good taste in music (or at least similar to mine) and we were newlyweds or close enough to count anyway and so would just join in as long as there was good music playing.  James Taylor, America, etc. 

But when the Indian woman moved in and had similar habits, well it's just not the same trying to get things going with all those cymbals and crazy partial-tones.  I guess I've just got ears that are too Western to appreciate that music.  So, we weren't having fun and we weren't sleeping.  So we moved.

That's because aftyer their 3rd album (Dirty white boy) they went limp ans started playing contemporary adult oreientated rock ie: soft rock no flack here because after that they did suck. I seen them live on their first album tour they were on the bill with Lynyrd Skynard and Ted Nugent.

Bootlegger.

Re: Bands you just can't stand

I cant stand greenday, Journey, and simple plan. i can deal with most anything else.

Christina Aguilera
Britney Spears
Justin Timberlake
Enrique (The Mole) Iglesias
Ordinary Boys

George Michael
Wham

Rihanna
Ciara
Ludicris
Puffy Piddly Widdly Diddly Big Daddy Giant Haystacks Hulk Hogan Puff (Or whatever his name is now)

Snoopy Doggy Woof Woof
The Fray (Whiney horribe little scrotes)
U2...Total garbage their later stuff, earlier stuff ie - Joshua Tree is good but when Bono got mega politically up himself i started HATING them. Plus i think "The Edge" (What a tit) is not that good and is just and effects pedal freak. Imagine a catastrophic effects cock-up at a U2 concert?! You'd just hear Edgey Boy playing Jingle Bells
Anyway....Razorlight
The Feeling
Arcade Fire
The Automatic
Bon Jovi
Box Car Racer
Franz Ferdinand
Fallout Boy
Il Divo
Good Charlotte
Ian Dury and the Blockheads
Justin Hawkins
The Darkness
Limp Bizkit (Wes Borland - Good...Fred Durst - BAD)
Lenny Kravitz - Jimi Hendrix wannabe
Pete Doherty
Maximo Park
POD
Panic! At The Disco
Steve Vai - Now don't get me wrong, immensely talented and gifted but such a big-head! Some, no, 99% of the stuff he plays is just dross of the worst kind. He just plays the most far-out crap he can peddle and hopes to get away with it. At Least Paul Gilbert could play in bands and work around lyrics. Vai can't be trusted to just play something simple. However i do have massive respect for the man.

Anyway thats only my opinion
