Thread title says it all. 

Which bands you don't like

Ignoring the obvious boy bands and all that kinda sh*te, I will just concentrate on proper bands and the ones who although they have huge followings - I just don't dig 'em!

 

 

U2 - Can't think of any of their records I like.

 

The Rolling Stones - Like some of the early stuff but they should have called it a day a few decades ago.

 

Coldplay - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Foo Fighters, just not my kind of music.

Well of the ones already mentioned, I love the Foos and Coldplay (they certainly aren't boring - especially live) and really like the Stones!  I don't much like U2 though - but I like With or Without You and Beautiful Day.

 

I don't like Kings of Leon, Just really dislike his voice.  And I can't stand Bob Dylan (I know he isn't a band but is one that I really don't like).

Foo fighters U2 mainly because bono is a dick.

Coldplay, U2, ermm, my tastes are very different so I don't like most bands lol

Morrissey, what a miserable man! I like some of the stuff The Smiths made, though.

God, how could I forget the Smiths and Morrisey - can't stand him or his voice!

I find it hard to dislike any single band, everyone has good and bad but two I thought were very overrated back in the late punk days were Killing Joke and Bahuaus.

Oh if you're going back, I hated The Undertones - Fergal Sharkey's warbling voice irritated the hell out of me!

I always thought Billy Idol was a right w**ker though.

Placebo. The singer's voice is like nails down a blackboard for me. He seems like a poseur twat too.

Edit - Also Muse. f**king terrible pompous sh*t.

Bon Jovi and The Rolling Stones.

Also Muse. f**king terrible pompous sh*t.

Haha I thought I was the only one... but don't let Modulish hear this or we'll both be banned! ;-)

Agree with Muse - girlfriend loves them so that's unfortunate.

 

I really cannot stand the Libertines - although I think that is because Pete Doherty is a massive scumbag.

Can't stand Muse or Bon Jovi either.

I really dislike a lot of 80s bands: Duran Duran, Spandau, Japan, Depeche Mode.... I could go on.

From the 70s I absolutely hate Yes.

U2. I liked some of their early stuff and saw them at a festival in about 1981. Over the years they have become too full of themselves, especially Bono.

 

Nirvana. I may be missing something but don't understand the adoration of the band. I bought Nevermind as had read good things about it. Have never listened to the whole album as get bored after about four tracks.

 

However, tends to be songs or albums rather than bands I don't like.

 

Just read Backbiter's post. A lady that I went out with back in the early eighties was going to take me to a Spandau Ballet concert. However, she dumped me a few days before the tickets went on sale. I suspect that one of the reasons she dumped was because I took her to a Bob Dylan concert a few days before and I sang along to all the songs. My singing is worse than Bob's.

Morrissey and the Wolfe Tones.

Tool is a band whose success is a total mystery to me. They're just so dull, dull, dull, dull. Did I mention they're dull?

 

Speaking of dull, Dream Theater just bores me to tears. Porcupine Tree as well. It seems to be more about showing your virtuosity on an instrument rather than having any sort of feeling in the music. I'd rather hear someone make a few mistakes if he shows some passion. Listening to those kind of progressive rock acts just leaves me cold.

Oasis

Stone Roses

U2

It's probably easier to name bands I like tbh lol

U2 - Bono is a self-conceited d**khead.

 

Coldplay - Good music to fall asleep to though.

 

Oasis - Always feel that the Gallagher brothers are massive twats, hating every little thing and complaining.

 

One Direction - Enough said.

 

Alright, this is an unpopular opinion and she's not in any sort of band, but I can't stand Taylor Swift.

I really cannot stand the Libertines - although I think that is because Pete Doherty is a massive scumbag.

Wash your mouth out! They are one of the greatest punk bands ever! Agreed he's been a bit of a twat in the past but lyrically and musically they are right up there with the best.

IMO.

I have to agree here, there are songs I like but I've never understand what all the fuss is about, they weren't groundbreaking Black Flag were doing it ten years earlier and better too.

I think if I was ten years younger I'd feel differently, I'd have been too young to have heard and seen Black Flag.

To me they're not even one of the greatest punk bands of the '00s, if you ask me*. They made one or two decent tunes, but that's about it. Considering the amount of great music that has come and keeps coming from England, I'm surprised people still talk about them with such glowing terms. When people in general are more familiar with the reputation of a band member as drug addicted douche than they are with any of their songs, then you know your legacy in music won't be a lasting one.  

 

*(To be honest, I'm not sure if they should even be considered a punk band. They're more like a garage rock band.)

I agree that their music wasn't groundbreaking, but their impact on the music industry was a fairly big one. For one reason or another their music managed to break into the mainstream and after them the doors were open for many others to follow. For that they have to be applauded as it's never a bad thing when the mainstream gets shaken a bit.

 

I don't see what Nirvana and Black Flag have to do with each other apart from them both being bands consisting of American boys playing electric guitars, bass and drums. They're as similar to me as the places they originally came from: Black Flag from sunny California and Nirvana from grey and dreary Aberdeen. Ok, they both made a bit of a racket while doing it, but Black Flag were a hard core punk band, while Nirvana were an indie rock band. Nirvana did have some punk rock influences in their music, especially early on, but I think Pixies would be a better comparison.
