TOOL - No time for them at all.

An interesting one, 'cause in theory I should love them - rock band who like to play with odd time signatures, base songs around the Fibonacci Sequence, they obviously have a very good grasp of theory and know what they're doing.... But why is their music so annoying?

Lady Gaga, Florence and The Machine, La Roux.
Not too fond of The Killers, Kings of Leon or Arctic Monkeys.

I would've been with you here a few months ago, but I became friendly with a massive Beatles fan who understood where I was coming from and said he'd make me a mixtape of their 'good stuff'. And he was right! Now I still don't understand the Beatles-worshipping thing, but they did a lot of interesting things ahead of their time. I haven't listened to any albums start-to-finish, so I can't really comment on what exactly their 'good stuff' is. But the white album seems to have a lot of tracks on it from my mixtape that helped change my mind.

Yeah I've only really listened to their more known songs, I could give them a second chance though haha!

Lil Wayne.... The only thing he got right was that he is infact very small!

Seriously though is his voice auto tuned to be that annoying and the lyrics!

She she lick me like a lollipop? Yeah right!:rolleyes:

Another one actually, Cheryl Cole! Horrible HORRIBLE voice I just can't stand it! People always disagree with this saying her voice is fine but they've only ever heard radio versions of her songs...

Now I'm not a fan of Cheryl Cole by any means, but she has got a decent live voice in fairness!

Lady Gaga
I just can't bring myself to listen to her 'songs', even if I tried. Find the songs repetitive and irritating and make my blood boil.

Does my head in. Baby talk as lyrics in one song ffs

Yeah I used to love them. I'll listen to them now and then but they've definitely went down in my estimation, mainly because of Maynard.

If Danny Carey, Adam Jones and the bassist were to form a prog metal side project with no whiny vocals it would be something that would interest me very much.

I think a lot of people tar a lot of great artists with the same brush as Tiesto et al. Electronic music is one of the few genres with genuine innovation happening. Autechre, Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares, etc. And without the older guys like Kraftwerk, modern music wouldn't be the same at all.

Definitely agree with that! The sub genres are all pretty diverse as well, love Drum n Bass artists like Netsky and such. Not a huge fan of dubstep but I love to see new styles like it morph and evolve.

Like the dude up there I also used to be a meat and potatoes guitar rockin' man, but really started to love Electronic music over the last few years. Songs like Strobe by Deadmau5, Idealistic by Digitalism and Starlight by Netsky were the ones that did it for me. :cool:

back to the topic, I don't like Lady Gaga much either.
Like what's the deal with her revealing more and more of her face as her popularity grows? Papparazzi though ain't bad I'll admit

studybuddy1

Lil wayne and all his ****ing hanger ons.
U2,Insane clown posse and the rolling stones.

Kings of Leon

Gang of Gin

It's quite hard to think of anyone I hate that most people like, which is the point of the thread, not just naming artists we hate for the sake of it.

Kings of Leon would be a fairly popular band that I just don't like at all. I can't stand the way your man sings.

I completely agree. The guy honks his way through songs.
Awful.

I'm surprised to see Radiohead hated so much.

I like Radiohead but I do accept there's a bit of a Marmite thing going on with them.

I'm baffled by the Michael Bublé love - find him truly, truly horrendous...

Paolo Nutini I don't find as crap, but I don't like him either and cannot understand the acclaim there is for him.

Stereotypical 'rawk' bands like AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Motorhead and Guns 'n' Roses just bore the piss out of me. And their hardcore fans are even worse. Try to be a bit more adventurous people...

One Hot Minute was muck

Kev O C

Oasis and Kasier Chiefs

Dunno why, Just do. I'll admit I like some of their songs but their personality seems to piss me off and I can't think why

Number one by some distance is Nick Cave, pretentious self-loving git.

Number two, for sheer ability to put me to sleep is Pink Floyd.

Number three for tantalising us with great music before going on the have an entire career of bull......Radiohead (since OK Computer)

I think their best work is OK Computer and after. Kid A and Amnesiac are incredible albums, for me. What about the middle-late stuff don't you like?

Horses for courses. I found OK Computer a bit forced, and a bit too 'progressive'.....as in 'prog rock' progressive, where they concentrated on writing long, challenging works or art and forgot about writing decent tunes. There choice of course. And also, it got so bloody depressing with them. Their songs are real downers. The first two albums had some very uplifting songs, like 'anyone can play guitar'.....there was none of that on OK Computer.

I don't get people criticising them for being 'depressing'. They wrote songs about serious things, and they got serious about music too. If that's not your bag alright, but I don't get why so many people slate them for doing what they wanted to do with their art. 'Decent tunes' is so subjective, and such a simplistic way to look at music.
