Genesis. I never liked Genesis, in fact I hate Genesis with a rare passion. All the pretentious knobs at school liked them, though.

Marillion. I only found out recently why I dislike Marillion - they modelled themselves on Genesis, allegedly. Whatever, they stink.

The Smiths. All that whining and moaning from Morrissey. For pity's sake, give it a rest! Oh, you have. All the pretentious knobs at university liked them, though.

Steely Dan. Hi-fi, not music. Too clever by half and terribly pleased with themselves. Smoooooth lounge jazz. "Take it off right now!" (my g/f last time I put it on). I had to agree and I took it off right then. Ugh.

Nitin Sawhney. The 'David Blaine' of world electronica. Messiah complex complete with Fifth-form philosophy on the sleeve notes, and an album which plays at 45 rpm, so I had to get the CD. Grrrr! Panjabi MC did it better.

Yes. See 'Genesis'.

Elton John. Candle in the wind Diana tribute undid what little cred this tiny freak ever had. Shut it, Sir Elton!

Robbie Williams. One good song, and that's it: he's a global superstar. Can't sing, great 'showman' though. Very cheeky.

Bob Dylan. Definitely can't sing: he knows the words, and the rest of the band know the tune. Dreadful guff.

Michael Jackson. Unlistenable pap from yet another weird freak.

Who have I missed?
 
"all knobs at university" oh dear we have another bitter member here.

As for the Smiths yes they are misserable and depressing but thats the whole point. After a hard days of lectures we don't want to listen to "aga do do do" or YMCA. We want somebody telling us how bleak our times are and how a jumped up pantry boy is a charming man.

As for Bob Dylan he is not a great singer but he by far one of the best song writers.
 
i'll have a go....


1) Jamie Callum (?) 2 songs on TV were enough from the Nat King Cole wannabe. I'll have the original thankyou.

2) Cher. I dont know why, but Im offended! Winner of the '' most needs a slap'' award.

3) Madonna. Please stop.

4) Kylie. Stop pretending to entertain, and just get your tits and ass out, thats why we like you darlin.

5) Boy bands and girl bands. Do I need to list them?

6) Eminem. Please Please stop.

7) Hot Chocolate. Just because the re-issue of '' I believe in miracles'' shouldnt have ever happened.

8) The Darkness. Okay, so Ive had a good laugh. Please stop now?

9) Status Quo. Somebody else said it. I liked them when I was very young... but then I liked Ivor the engine when I was very young, so hopefully I can be forgiven.

10) Michelle-fat-bird. Dont know her last name. Dont want to either. One for the underdog.

11) Meatloaf. Thankfully out of the charts these days.
 
1. Pink Floyd, post-Syd
2. Roger Waters, solo
3. Genesis
4. Emerson Lake and Palmer
5. Roger Waters again, because he deserves it
6. Queen
7. Anyone who's ever been in a musical. I hate musicals
8. The Stranglers. Complete arses
9. Simply Red. Ginger buffoon
10. Roger Waters, not ginger, but also a buffoon

The darkness, scissor sister, all boy bands, those are particularly annoying for me.

No point in going on, you guys seem to have it covered.

So you want to go to a 1980's Prog rock musical then? :)
 
Well, I would have to take issue with some of the names mentioned here (The Quo? The Dan?) but for now... Starsailor spring to mind as being particularly dreadful. I have always hated The Beautiful South. Coldplay make me re-tune the radio. And I don't like Green Day, Blink 182 and their 'ilk'. Pop bands/music don't bother me.
 
Lots and lots of suggestion which I entirely agree with, but especially The Smiths/Morissey, Bob Dylan, Robbie Williams, Cher, Eminem, Bjork, Limp Bizkit, Starsailor, Blink 182.. :mad:

In addition, some of my own pet hates...

Radiohead
Oasis
U2
Prince (symbol/whatever he calls himself these days :rolleyes: )
Simple Minds
Billy Bragg
The Cranberries
Portishead
REM (except "OUt Of Time" & "Green" ;) )
Bush

:bub:

plus in general musicals of any kind, most rap, R'n'B (the modern meaning of), brit pop, indie rock, grunge/complaint, nu-metal, just about most of the so called indie or alternative music scene of the 90's I guess then ;) ... :chunder:

:)
 
Jazz at the pornshop, purest plinque factor 15 captain, should be filed under captial punishment
Starsailor, Ju2002 summed this up nicely Funeral Dirge & morid wailings alongs the lines found on the lowest plane of the 666 layers of the Abyss demon mating calls are more appealing.
All boy & girl bands.
Nick kershaw, shawn off little turd with astral projections emminating from his rectum.
Simply red :mad: total bollox, ginger peckerhead
It's late more tripe tomorrow
 
Simply Red
Celine Dion
Whitney Houston (obviously excepting 'Whitey joins the JAMMS')
Any 'bouffant' or 'feather-cut' AOR rock
Anything Simon Cowell has even walked past
Audiophile labels that use musicians that only record for audiophile labels
Anything claiming to be prog recorded later than 72
Anything claiming to be punk recorded later than 78
80s "soul"
The wanton abuse of the term R&B

Tony.

PS Anyone who thinks The Smiths are miserable has totally misunderstood the lyrics.
 
Not sure on the Smiths yet, I guess the sound is quite bleak. However everybody seems to go mad for the Smiths in the clubs especialy the New York remix of the Charming Man and How Soon Now.

A lot of people have been very unfair to Mick Hucknal on this thread. Ok you're a right, he is a ginger fairy, he was at the 1976 Sex Pistols gig witht he likes of The Stiff Kittens (soon to become Joy Division), The Buzzcocks, ACR etc. But what does Ginger Nuts to do? He sells out and releases crappy pop song after pop song.

Celine Dion annoys me, Dido does as well after a while, she has talent and I can listen to her songs but I find her voice gets anoying after 15 minutes.

U2 erm they are overated in my opinion but it dosn't make them a bad band.

Oasis again they are very talented but I just find Liams vocals annoy me.

Simon Cowell, well he was responsable for Robson and Jerome so on that alone he deserves to be shot and banned from the music industry.
 
Some very good bad musicians, keep it coming.

I have to declare an unfashionable and guilty admiration for Pink Floyd, in particular DSOTM and Wish you were here. And an unfashionable dislike for their very early stuff. But if everyone agreed then where would the fun be?

"Heaven knows I'm miserable now", OTOH, always warms the cockles.

Have to admit Bub, I entirely agree with you on that, not an early Floyd fan myself either.

Escort me down to the gallows for my heresy too! ;)
 
1) opera... early years wagner torture has left me with ptsd.
2) starsailor - pretentious arseholes
3) radiohead - totally pretentious arseholes
4) flaming lips - utter pretentious arseholes.
5) genesis - i tried, i really did but i just don;t like them (peter gabriel on his own was ok though)
6) the obligatory boy / girl groups. just sh*te really.
7) childrens programme novelty songs. especially those with a pumped up beat and inane words. only designed to melt your brain and get pissed up essex girs on the dance floor.
8) metal 'ballards' - why lemmy why? ozzy, metalica and others aren;t innocent here either. should all have their balls mashed between 2 bricks for these crimes.
9) cutesy kiddie exploitation songs - the worst of which was st winnifreds abysmal grandma. - pass me the bucket.
10) simply red - cos i do hate them and just to make up the numbers really.

cheers

Ahh but Henry, you have to remember that a couple of members here judge music according to the inverse popularity law - i.e. the less popular/accessible it is, the more they like it;)
