OT: Bands/Artists I should like but I don't and I keep it on the DL...

[Chief Wiggum]

It almost seems like blasphemy that I don't like the following bands/artists....and if I admit it, I catch a lot of sh!t so I keep these opinions mostly to myself...

AC/DC - I love hard rock, but for some reason, I don't really like these guys. Mostly due to Brian Johnson's voice. But boy if you say that in the company of certain people, be prepared to defend your position.

Dave Matthews Band - as a white person, I think I'm automatically supposed to like these guys, but they blow chunks IMO...can't stand even one of their songs, generally annoying.

Radiohead - I think I'm not smart enough to like them, at least that's what I've been told. Their fans are among the most annoying out there.

Bruno Mars - I know I could take him in a fight, so I automatically don't like him. Plus he seems like a poor imitation of much better artists like MJ and others. My 13 year old defends him like her life depends on it.

Soundgarden - Again I love hard rock, but these guys just don't speak to me. Everyone tells me Chris Cornell had such a great voice, but to me, it was very grating. Sorry DNL.

Honorable mention - Stone Temple Pilots, Bush, Jay Z, 50 Cent, Lynard Skynard

Prince. Never got the infatuation, and he is really not that good of a musician.

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

Dave Matthews Band—yeah the music is too jam band feeling for me

Janes Addiction—annoying sound

Motley—just no

Poison—just too meh

Rush—that voice....ugh

Female rappers

Most “country”

Billy Joel—besides like 2 songs

Most Rolling Stones

 

[Chief Wiggum]

Janes Addiction—annoying sound

Yes, THANK YOU...very solid additon.

 

[Cloud@Heart]

Country Music...... Never mind, I don't keep it on the down low. I just have never gotten into it, except for maybe a phase 30 years ago with Hank Williams Jr..

 

[prag_grenade]

Prince. Never got the infatuation, and he is really not that good of a musician.

What instruments do you play?

 

[spartanhusker]

Sorry... really like Prince, but agree on Rush, Radiohead... AND outside of GRACE IS GONE, Dave Matthews

 

[huskerfan1414]

Rush and Dave Matthews for sure. I understand why people like Rush, however, because they are good musicians, but that voice ruins everything. I don't understand Dave Matthews, his songs don't sound good.

Prince is a good musician, although I don't particularly like many of his songs nor would I go out of my way to listen. But he could play guitar very well.
I don't dislike any bands that I feel I have to keep on the down low, however.

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

The Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin suck ass. Sorry.

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

What instruments do you play?

I was a singer at one time.... not sure why that matters. Did my post upset you?

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

The Greatful Dead and Janis Joplin suck ass. Sorry.

Agree on greatful dead, I used to hate Joplin when my Dad listened, but the growliness grew on me.

Btw, Forgot. John Mayer is also terrible.

 

[scarletred]

A lot of Geddy Lee hate in this thread... Surprised no one has complained about Robert Plant too.​

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

Drake is absolutely gut-rot sh!t awful as well.

 

[spartanhusker]

Ok I hate Robert Plant too☺️

 

[scarletred]

Ok I hate Robert Plant too☺️

You're Tiny Tim is showing.

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

Drake is absolutely gut-rot sh!t awful as well.

This thread is about bands/artists. Try and stay on topic please.

 

[Huskerfan2112]

Pearl Jam
Zeppelin
Grateful Dead
Any jam band clone of Greatful Dead
Wilco
Conor Oberst
Aretha Franklin


A comment on Rush.... Lee’s voice can be grating to some. A lot of it depends on which register he sings. Some albums, like Presto, are in a lower pitch. I think his voice was much higher in the early years than recently.

 

[c2o]

Prince. Never got the infatuation, and he is really not that good of a musician.

"not that good of a musician"?

U R CRAZY.

 

[Charlie Marlow]

Wyld Stallyns

 

[spartanhusker]

Well Aretha Franklin is a definite go...” I say a little prayer”

 

[huskerfan1414]

I've gotta say the Beatles.
Overrated.
Same with the Doors. Overrated.

 

[little a]

I don’t like Prince’s music as much as everybody else but the dude played EVERY instrument on his first 5 albums..... Respect!

Put a bagpipe in front of Prince and all Scotland would be dancing.

Not a very good musician... smh

 

[BroskiRed]

Jimmy Buffet
Beach Boys
Michael Buble
Drake
Coldplay
Radiohead
John Mayer
Led Zeppelin (Z92 in Omaha just killed this band for me, way overplayed)
Also second all the female rappers

 

[TheBeav815]

I don't really like The Beatles. I acknowledge their importance, just not a fan.

Weezer. I like them but not like Weezer fans think you need to like them.

Bob Dylan. Cannot. Effing. Stand. His voice.

 

[c2o]

Beatles
Led Zeppelin
Rush
Bob Dylan
and female rappers.
Not afraid to admit they are all overrated.

 

[chrsmneric]

Florida Georgia Line...

 

[Big Red Menace]

Prince. Never got the infatuation, and he is really not that good of a musician.

I’m not a big fan of his music but he’s an INCREDIBLE musician. Anyone that says otherwise is just flat out wrong!

 

[HuskerHusaria]

Nickelback.

[SeaOfRed75]

Rollling Stones
The Eagles
Prince

And yes Prince was a great musician but people act like he was the next Hendrix or something. Not even close to the same league as Jimi.

 

[BroskiRed]

This X a billion. GTFO Florida Georgia Line. They are terrible enough on their own, and they collaborate with many others on tracks.

 

[Cloud@Heart]

Pink Floyd... I went to the Roger Water's "The Wall" at the Qwest/Century Link about a dozen years ago. I truly thought that I would really enjoy it. I was so wrong.... I hated it, but then again maybe it was because I wasn't stoned out of my gourd. "Hey, teacher... leave those kids alone"

 

[cubsker]

i saw bush on here, which is just blasphemy to me. sixteen stone is in the top 5 albums of the 90s. every song is really good at a minimum.

I was just having this conversation about AC/DC with a friend. I really enjoyed old-school AC/DC with Bon Scott as singer, but can't stand Brian Johnson's voice.

Dave Matthews band IS horrible, and has given rise to so many bad bands, like Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Matchbox 20, Ben Harper, Collective Soul, etc.. I'm in complete agreement.

Radiohead has some decent music ("The Bends" album) but Thom Yorke seems a bit too self-absorbed for my tastes.

There are not many musical artists that I can't stand as much as Bruno Mars. I mean complete hate of everything he sings.

I'm in complete agreement on Sound Garden too. Chris Cornell was a professionally paid screamer, and he sucked to high heaven!

This makes a good segue to my most disliked genre of music...Post-Grunge. I mean worse than disco; and as bad as New Country. Just complete rotgut. Bands like Breaking Benjamin, Shinedown, Nickelback, Three Days Grace, Candlebox, Five Finger Death Punch, Creed, Bush, Silverchair, Theory of a Deadman, Godsmack, etc.. Just dogshit of the highest order.

Bush sucks. (the band. Not trim)

.

Sound garden was okish. If you want good Cornell imo try Audioslave. Great voice and not a paid screamer.

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

"not that good of a musician"?

U R CRAZY.

Figured that would draw your ire. And sorry, I have never "got it" or been that impressed.
Just my opinion.

 

[cubsker]

Cornell is a screamer? what planet am i on?

 

[regoratsginrom]

Rush....makes my skin crawl.
REO...when they went full pop. Loved their early stuff.
Maroon Five...I'd like to punch Adam Levine
Beach Boys...never understood the fascination or their importance

LOL at the guy who said Prince wasn't a good musician.
