moe_sizlak

Wow shooting range material!

Almost any spandex/permahair band from Los Angeles, the Alarm, The Cranberries, Hothouse Flowers, and that band who thought they were the next U2 but in fact were not (Dublin mid 80s flopped).

Aslan thats who escaped my memory. Shudders.

Mike.

Raekwon

The Darkness. How gay were they?

Nailz

Lordi, but in all fairness they were taking the piss. Nickleback I agree with, they're awful! Emmm, that band that singing "Elvis isn't dead", oh Jayzus I hate them, they're seriously shìt!! A 3 year old could write that! But I wouldn't have them down as Rock personaly but I just taught of 'em.

EDIT: If U2 are considered rock, then them aswell.

In fairness the Darkness were just taking the piss they were basically a younger version of Spinal Tap:D

Nightwish

Where do I start - pretty much all indie rock bands ie The Fray, The Feeling, Arctic Monkeys etc. U2, if they are defined as rock. Nickleback are tragic. I liked the Darkness, a bit of theatre can be good. They were excellent live too.

DominoDub

I know this will piss off some ,,I but two bands that I just don't get or connect with are :

Manic Street Preachers & MUSE

I have friends who are fans , and I have tried to listen to them but never feel it !

leincar

POISON, by name and nature!!

Also from that country that rock music forgot DIE TOTEN HOSEN!

Yep. Most recent bands that start with a big THE are usually pretty dire I find. I just block them all out at this point.

Your username is after throwing up a whole other load of bands I can't stand I'm afraid.

Nightwish, Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation...the whole howling female vocalist thing makes me want to tear my ears off. It's horrid.

irish_bob

yeah your missing the point, theyve some great songs

orestes

I gotta agree with all of the "the xxx" bands and all the other bands from the recent indie thing, they all sound pretty much the same to me and they all suck imo

Particularly the fray though, man I'd love 5 minutes alone with the lead singer :mad:

Never liked them at all myself. They've sold more records than Led Zeppelin? I was unaware of that. Must be a statistical error...! :eek:

Have to admire Nickelback - they've shocked everyone by surpassing the success of their biggest hit 'How You Remind Me' with their new one 'Rockstar'.
It wasn't even supposed to be released as a single.

Absolute sh*te:
Nickleback
U2
Nightwish
Evanescence
Enter Shikari
Aslan

Horribly overrated:

there album back in black from 1980 is the 2nd biggest selling album of all time after thriller
40 million

Driver 8

Snow Patrol

Good lord, if i never hear Chasing Cars again it'll be too soon. Not liking the current trend which Snow Patrol exemplify of being a bit "sad and emotional". It's cringeworthy teenage poetry set to coma-inducing music. It's not good, not good at all...

Creature

Green Day and The Offspring.

MonkeyTennis

manOwar... Beyond my comprehension.

Doctor DooM

I think there's no point in mentioning the "the" bands as I dont see anyone here defending them...

I agree about Ac/Dc. Theres nothing too them.

:cool:

callaway92

Paramore...SHUDDERS...

GLaDOS

I quite like Nightwish. Though I only have one of their albums, some of the instrumental work is amazing. Not the biggest fan of the singer(the old one, havent really listened to the new one) but there's more to music than vocals .

eamon234

Manic Street Preachers. Pretentious arses.

kawaii

Overrated:

Portishead
RADIOHEAD
Thin Lizzy
Spirit
Eric Clapton

mike65

Spirit? Is that the Randy California band or another one?

Mike.

GhostInTheRuins

And Thin Lizzy? wtf?
