Any rap metal, creed (can we say this enough?!), Any untalented pop artist (all but probably 2, and i don't listen to radio anymore), ANY message-less rap or R&B artist, any band that is hinged upon a gimmick. That is just for today. there may be more that i must roast, as my housemate listens to far too many of these.

Hehe...
how many emo fans does it take to screw in a light bulb?


none. they just sit in the dark, and cry.


and write a whiny song about how it is dark and they are crying. writing a song.

Bahahahahaha BenChuy thats great, i thought i had heard every emo joke!

who or what is emo?

emo is a "genre" of music. the true definition is debatable

nelly
linkin park

I vote for fiddy cent and anyone who would follw /replace him

I would dance in the streets if people would stop listening to these groups that aren't really bands... Any group that has to lipsync or overdub anything at a live performance shouldn't be given a record contract.

What frightens me is that they produce this music because people actually listen to it. And then those same drooling idiots purchase it, giving the record label more money to create more plastic music monsters.

Yea for free choice, but holy cow! The world is doomed to die at the hands of these people.

/rant

I hate hate hate linkin park, remember their 2nd album? It was their first album REMIXED!!!!!! Goddamnit.. they just shove it down your throut its horrible, and its shitty music to start with, then they make it even worse!!!!! I also think the members of... I can't remember the bands name.. but they sing the song "Blue and Yellow" or something like that... is that Mest? if thats mest than they freaking choke on lug nuts..

And don't forget, use the money from the fans to sue people for sharing manufactured pop.

cpondima man, that's gotta be one of the most mature posts I've ever seen in this kind of situation. I will try to respond with an equal amount of respect.

Tool is very strange. Which is not necessarily a bad, Sonic Youth are very strange and they always manage to make awesome music. The difference is, Tool seems to concentrate on trying to make their sound weird, always using 5/8 rhythmes and getting the mathematicians and such. It's as though they try so hard to be different, and don't get me wrong, technically it's amazing, but musicaly it's just not good. The music itself just seems to fit more into enginneering than art.

The lyrics are on the opposite end of the spectrum. They are remenecent of teen goth poetry. There seems to be no real depth to it, it just all sort of consist of obvious morbidity references, cliché metaphores (ex: talking about phisical pain to demonstrate mental anguish), and just an all-around Dungeons & Dragons-ish quest-like feel to it.

In the end, things such as morbidity, metaphores and being different are some of the coolest things about some of my favorite bands, I just feel as though Tool uses it in a very unproffesional way.

But that's just my opinion, the reasons I hate them may be the reasons you like them. I due respect their talent as musicians and artistic vision for videos, just not the music.

I can't speak for everyone who hates Tool, but that's what I think anyway. I hope it is helpful.

First off, gotta say, thank the good Lord 85% of the posts here listed Creed. How they sold over 30 million albums is beyond me.

Next, if I may get up on my soap box about Tool, I have to say I was more than a little bit surprised to see them on here. Basket Case, although I respect your opinion about their lyrics not having any depth, I couldn't disagree more. I would be the first to agree that some of the subject matter is a bit esoteric. In addition, though, I would argue that their songs on subject matter such as chromosome evolution, existential philosophy, enlightenment, and desensitization show a remarkable insight into human nature. As for their skills as musicians, I would submit that they are some of the best in the business. It makes me happy to see that someone who doesn't like them can recognize the talent they have as musicians.

I suppose in the end it's like any band that people either really like or really hate. Either you get it, or you don't. I don't get Dave Mathews Band, but I respect them as a band with something important to contribute to the music scene.

Tool I get.

I am still curious about this connection of dave matthews band with "smoking to be cool". I am not trying to change your mind, I am just trying to understand what you mean.

That's the Used. They have like 1 decent song but otherwise they fucking blow. Agreed.



oh, and also...

Two emo's walk into a bar. What do they order?

Nothing, emos only go to cafes.

that joke will be lost on anyone who doesn't know a lot of emos

Creed. Even Jesus hates Creed.

everything on the radio

I agree with the Avril, Creed and Blink 182.. I'd also like to mention The Dixie Chicks and Kid Rock

How come no-one has bloody mentioned Ja Rule yet damn it?!

I'd be one happy camper if the entire 80's cock-rock, spandex wearin, big hair & makeup, "I wish I was as cool as KISS" scene went away.

Korn. Korn can die. well, the "singer" at least. i've heard people screaming in pain that was more aestheically pleasing than his shitty-ass voice. Creed doesn't need to die, i've just never found any of their music all that good. and Pretty much all rap. and most country.

Linkin Park. Arg.

"Todd Rungren - Bang on the drum". I barely understand the lyrics, but i will rock out when ever this comes on...and if they play it at a party or a bar and i have some booze in me...watch out because i will start to act a fool.

I completely agree here, EVERY sing one of their songs is basically the same thing, we are depressed and we are going to sing about it. It's about the same thing as Everclear (i think thats who i'm thinking of) it's "My dad screwed up my childhood" in every song :mad:

Rush-
Smashing Pumpkins-

2 of the worst freaking bands in the universe

MonkeyPopper-

JewBoy Extreme-

Mr Wilsons Dandruff-

Felchermacher-

StankFang-

Mr. Bubbles Diary-

Emoshesaid-

Crispy Salamander-

Trapezoids for Mongoloids-

and
Cootiebaby Bunnybumper.

I HATE all these bands with every fffffiber of my being.
they make me bliiiiiind with rage. I want to kill their notes
as they come out of their instrumentssss. AAAArrrrrgh!!!!

:)

Audioslave is like this parody band of Led Zep and others.

If I could find a machine that would take the vocals out of a CD, I would probably go back and buy some U2 albums. But that dreadful Bono, broomstick up my ass pressing against my hemorrhoids, voice is awful.

Metallica

I don't listen to much *popular* music--only the stuff I have to that my husband plays, but Metallica...just doesn't sound good. They give me a headache.

I do hate them as well for their prissy attitude/lawsuits.

After reading over the replies again, I'd like to add Rush to my list. Tom Sawyer was about the only song I could ever tolerate by these guys, the rest are rat droppings!

Any and all rap.

Wow, I'm surprised at the strong feelings against Tool. They're my favorite band by far.

I guess it's like they said; "You either get it or you don't". I don't get a lot of the bands others seem to find brilliant. For example, I don't understand how Slipknot's screaming, pounding crap ever got thrown onto a CD, but I know there's rabid fans out there who would kick my ass for saying that. Go figure, huh?

50 cent, horrible....just just just horrible

has anyone mentioned the fact that creed sucks, yet?

I have three points to make:

1) Ditto, Creed sucks donkey dicks in hell

2) I wish ROD-COCKSUCKING-STEWART would drop off the face of the earth and take all recordings of himself with him.

3) As my name might indicate, I'm a huge /\/\etallic/-\ fan, but even I'm finding it hard to keep defending them. The napster thing was bad. I got a surge of relief with that MTV special that rocked, but then the album came out and the whole thing went to shit. I have no idea what they've been thinking for the last ten or so years. Whatever it is, it surely involves their money and lifestyle, not their music.

how could i forget limp bizkit, and marylin manson

HOW CAN ANYONE HATE RUSH????(!)

I hate Rush. But I would put Good Charlotte at the top. I don't know why I have such a vendetta against such an insignificant band, but every time I see or hear them I want to cock punch someone.

hot hot heat, the song bandages in particular.

if you havent heard it, download it... you will find yourself laughing so hard at the lack of talent

Any of these Creed, Nickeback, Linkin Park rap rock shit bands.

They all sound the fucking same.

You, sir, have deeply offended me. I demand satisfaction! *whips out the dueling glove*

Pistols at dawn, then?

I do believe any band I would mention has already been mentioned in previous posts. Turn on the radio anywhere in the U.S., tune it to any given station and 90% of what you hear will be pure shit. Thanks, Clear Channel!

lol, some truth in that. Id have to say Nickelback, maybe Creed, and DEFINITELY the vines or hives

i would have said the white stripes too, cuz they suck ass, but that song 7 nation army i actually liked, so i dont bash them as much.... but it was nothing more than a catchy beat, they still suck

any EMO or other lame-rock band

We are wasting our time here. If we actually managed to get people to stop listening to a band we didnt like. They would move onto another one. Then we would be in the same position we are now. I say let them have there shitty music. Without this crap who would we make fun of ? :)

as for my mine i would love it if people stop listening to boy bands. Its just complete an utter garbage. I am hesitant to even call it music.

Just about everything i see on MTV....

Why do so many people not like Pearl Jam? They are really good!

Puddle of Mudd. They're horrible. I have never heard a single song of theirs that wasn't awful. I have to change the station every time one of their songs comes on.

creed... by all means, BREAK UP AND GO SELL HOTDOGS ON A STREET CORNER! the next time I want to hear about Creed, I want it to be on a "Where are They Now?" special on VH1.

andrew WK ...filthy long haired hippie dissident crying about partying.

what kind of person listens to this repetitive power chord drivel?

Anything to do with rap/hip-hop and techno. Pop music sucks too.

Rock is here forever

nickel back
perfect circle
korn
and pretty much any music that isn't rock and roll

Badly wrong, wrong, wrong, understandable but wrong, not quite, wrong, wrong, and incorrect.

Tool does seem to focus a bit too much on math, but they manage to make some great music nonetheless. Although Aenima was fairly mediocre.

I agree, also all rap!!

Why does everyone seem so enthusiastic about hating other peoples' musical taste? Go listen to what you like and leave everyone else to do what they want. There's just one comment in this thread that I feel I need to directly address:
You have done an excellent job of confusing the living hell out of me.

anything they play on TRL in my mind.....

but 2 of my most hated bands.....
nickelback and creed..worst bands ever... all the rappers are up there to

dave matthews--awful awful awful. however, dave and his lame, tired band with their standardized tired arrangements are not as foul as the crowd he draws.

jimmy buffet. but maybe not--he is what dave will turn into, and parrotheads are what his crowd will turn into once they have kids---so maybe they are linked, and buffet should simply be a constant warning--THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU STAY STUCK IN THE SAME CRAP FOR TOO LONG....

phish. they are not funny. but they **are** really good players. what makes them awful is the fact that they choose to suck because their audience demands nothing more from them.


all the reactionary jazz singers on the order of diana krall who put a pretty face on the kind of wynton marsalis project of turning the music into even more of a museum piece, making what was for a time and still in some quarters is an amazing exploratory music into something safer and safer as muzak to accompany rituals of social affirmation as they play out in overpriced restaraunts before uninformed, not listening pinhead members of the aspiring bourgeoisie...fuck them all...every last one of them...and ken burns and wynton marsalis and stanley crouch too.

however, what i really really hate is bluegrass. 1, 5...1, 5....1,5.....1,5..... for a little rhythmic adventure, let's get the bass player to slap the strings. ooo. tiresome chord structures, a bizarre reverence for copying the originals--which results in a musical culture of precision servility--of course within this sorry culture, folk pretend things are otherwise because they smoke weed and play, as if smoking weed in 2004 still constitutes an act of defiance---irritating vocals, the basic requirement for which is that you affect some south appalachin accent, restrict yourself to harmonies that come from some fantasy of authenticity which are for reasons i will never ever understand associated with the kind of churches that handle snakes and such, and sing songs that make a fetish of your dead mother and or advocate cringing in fear before some protestant god. bad taste in clothing, some bizarre imperative for bands to appear wearing uniforms made of fabric that reminds you of the wallpaper in some cheap diner---reactionary politics, stupid hats.

I, for one, think it would be a shame if someone stopped listening to music he/she enjoys because someone else takes issue with it.

Creed needs to die
as well as Nirvana, Kurts dead stop playing smells like teen spirit and that other one whose name i forgot.
HOLE: GO AWAY WITH HUSBAND BITCH
all this new metal can go away, but the people who have been around a while are cool.
Emo music can go away
and "bling bling" rap. i dont mind it so much when thye talk about stuff that isnt stupid as fuck

this is a good point but lots of the new mtv generation likes music because its a fad, and then they move on to the next "hot" thing out.

Music like that serves a social function. It's not worthless; it just happens to serve their needs and interests. Mabye I care about music that's "objectively good," but that's not a consideration for everyone. Perceived quality is often just a matter of taste.

Now, I might be wrong, and it might be possible to criticize certain music without criticizing someone's taste, but I don't think dissing certain bands is worth my time.

Audioslave. For the love of god how could Chris Cornell record such crap. It is beyond me.

--jaded

Has anyone said Nickelback yet?

How about Led Zeppelin, the most over-rated band of all time...

anyone who whines, bitches, self-loathes, and brags.

in essence, RADIO !!!!!

Nirvana? Perfect Circle? Led Zeppelin?

Oooooooookay then... :rolleyes:

These threads are hilarious :lol: Half the time I don't know if the person is being serious or joking.

By reading 4 pages of this, you could pretty much sum it up with "all music".

Hrm, definitely creed and nickelback and puddle of mudd
and fuckin coldplay, fucking whiny annoying shit (and his wife is ugly)

The Dave Matthews Band.

Talk about a Prozac-Valium coctail.

Blink 182. Cant sing, cant play, cant write... I dont know what appeal they have.

Jeffy's Jug Band


cause those guys just suck.

Pop-punk and rap-metal are both dying so you don't have to worry about those anymore. Also, I've never understood why everyone on the Internet has such a venomous hatred of Creed. I'm not christian, but I still think their first album was quite good, and their second was more poppy but not nearly as bad as anything else on pop radio.

Agreed and them pull the plug on Creed, Justin Timberlake and all the others from any boy band just to be sure

Whatever's playing on MTV right now.............and Eminem.

I'd say Good Charlotte. I can't stand them, especially the way they try to make themselves look like they would rather be underground and punk. Ugh.
