Bands you HateMusic

[a6m5]

"PROPER Music"? Don't make me laugh. Bitter, sardonic laughter it would be.

Michael McDonald should be put up against a wall and shot. I'd say start with his knees and move up, but then I might hear his voice a moment longer than I already have to.

Don Henley and Phil Collins should have their heads cast in a tub of concrete - one tub, mind you it would need to be huge - and be thrown off a ship. Bands where the drummer sings lead vocals automatically suck.

Hall and Oates...?! They make Toto sound like death metal. And somebody else has already questioned your sanity for admitting you like Toto. I'll even admit to liking Sarah so that you know I'm not just blindly dismissing all this music without knowing it.

Boston - invented the entire "power pop" genre. As a punishment, death is too good for them. Just put them and every copy of all their CDs and records and tapes somewhere where I don't ever have to hear them or see them.

And if you had mentioned liking Foreigner I'd start telling you what I really think and stop mincing words.

Queen - one of the most overrated rock bands of the last 30 years, with one of the most underrated guitarists. Brian May is excused.

Eric Clapton should have his hands smashed with a wooden mallet for being born attached to the wrong person. It would put them out of their misery. The sublime technical skill of a surgeon, attached to a soulless bowl of vanilla pudding. Clapton only shows any musical emotion or feeling at all when he's trying to sound like somebody else. He should be clubbed to death with his drum machine. Which he sucks at programming, by the way.

Clapton dropped out of the Yardbirds in a well-publicized huff, because they weren't being "true enough to the blues". He then went on to found Cream. 'Nuff said about Cream. Derek and the Dominoes owes whatever they had to Duane Allman. Then Clapton went on to do all that vapid solo work, accompanied by the world's cheapest drum machine. This is what seals his fate.

Whitesnake...?! "PROPER Music"...?! Even I can't think of something to say here.

Van Halen... meh. Only in the company of Dave "When Egos Collide" Roth did Van Halen have any fire. Eddie's a sonic wizard on the guitar. It's just a shame he could never figure out which song to put which solo in. With a few notable exceptions, most of his solos sound like they were picked at random out of demo tapes and stuffed into whatever song the engineer happened to be mixing at the time.

That's all for now.

I knew that you were nearly blind, when you started dissing Natalie Portman. Now I'm worried about your hearing......

I HATE Blue and all gay bands like this

 

[Jimmy Enslashay]

Queen - one of the most overrated rock bands of the last 30 years, with one of the most underrated guitarists.

One of the most truthful comments I've seen on GTP, although Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most well-composed songs around. Apart from that, Queen are left with mildly-entertaining pop-ballads and underdeveloped rock.

Clapton dropped out of the Yardbirds in a well-publicized huff, because they weren't being "true enough to the blues". He then went on to found Cream.

...and wasn't that amusing.

This reminds me. Are there any recordings available from The Yardbirds? I mean, these guys produced 3 of the most talented guitarists you'll find. Jeff Beck - although jealousy and fear of being outshined ruined a lot of his career. Eric Clapton - his problem being mediocre songwriting. And Jimmy Page - nothing bad to say about Jimmy. Along with Darrell Abbott and Jimi Hendrix, he would be at the top of my list of favourite guitarists. Purely entertaining. Rolling Stone Magazine should be beating with a large stick for their over-exaggerated, negative views on Zeppelin. And then beaten again for selling out.

Van Halen... meh. Only in the company of Dave "When Egos Collide" Roth did Van Halen have any fire.

Thank you! It seemed like I was the only person expressing this opinion. David Lee Roth may have been very self-centered and owning an ego the size of Europe, but he was the only voice that suited Van Halen. Sammy Hagar never even came close to a good replacement, and Gary Cherone (I think?) was nothing spectacular for the short time he was a part of the group.

Although I must say Van Halen are a very over-rated band. Eddie Van Halen was (well, is) extremely talented, but I never thought much of the music they produced. Mind you, Panama was enjoyable.

Lynyrd Skynyrd
AC/DC
The Who

Nice choices. Although Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama is unbelievably over-played.

PROPER Music

Sorry, but "proper music" is a very stupid comment.

 

[Event]

Although Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama is unbelievably over-played.

And Free Bird is one of the greatest rock songs ever, IMO.

 

[a6m5]

Jimmy: I believe the Queen to be one of the best rock bands of all time. What do you mean by "underdeveloped rock"? Could it be that you(and Duke) just don't like their sound? It's one thing to say you don't like them, but I don't know about people putting down a band, that many believe to be one of the greatest band of all time, as some sort of inferior rock band that just got lucky. Personally, I don't like Pink Floyd. Does that mean I think they are overrated? No, I can sense quality when I hear their music. It's just not my cup of tea.

Also I disagree about Clapton being an mediocre songwriter. Yes, he's had many duds, but he's also written some of the greatest songs in the rock history.

 

[Jimmy Enslashay]

No, I believe their music is exaggerated. Sure, they've written some massive hit songs, and I also mentioned I thought Bohemian Rhapsody was a legendary song, but I believe the rest of their songs are simple songs, but they are effective. I think the songs are over-hyped. They are much like popular music today. Simply-constructed, but effective in enjoyable listening. I enjoy listening to a few songs, but I think, besides Bohemian Rhapsody, their songs are talked up more than they should be. That's my personal view, and I respect your's.

Agreed.

Thanks for the reply Jimmy. It's nice to see you hanging around btw. I think I do understand what you mean by saying "simple"(although I still beg to differ ). To me, Freddy Mercury is one of the finest vocalist I know. On the song writing, even if it sounds simple to some, is full of super sweet and creative melody that not many artists can match, IMO.

 

[Jimmy Enslashay]

To me, Freddy Mercury is one of the finest vocalist I know.

Can't argue with that.

 

[STABWOUND]

bands i hate - Pantera

this picture makes me laugh

 

[stoopid_idiot]

I really hate for you guys to go though this thread all over again, but I want to bring up the bands I really, really hate.
I'll listen to almost anything and everything, but there is some artists/genres I just can't stand.
Here Goes:

The All-American Rejects-Everybody said after their first single, Swing, Swing, that they were the next Weezer, but not for me. Their lead singer sounds like a castrated Rivers Curmo, and it's mainstream mook-rock for pre-teen screaming girls.

Bon Jovi-See above

Almost all Country-Let me put it this way; disco, back in its day, was a producers' genre. Rock is a artist's genre. Country is a songwriter's genre. It's that simple. Good example: Van Zant, the brothers du jour of Southern Rock; their first single off their first country album WASN'T EVEN WRITTEN BY THEM. Inexcusable.

Kelly Clarkson-I like her when she did songs like Miss independent and Breakaway but when she did Since You Been Gone? Worst Song Ever. it sounded like Stevie Wonder trying to do classical. Truly awful.

That's all for now.

 

[BlackBeadyEyes]

And don't even get me started on Eminem, you'll be here all night.

WHAT???!!!

Eminem is arguably THE best lyricist of our time, maybe of all time!!

Trying to dis Eminem is exactly like dissing Bob Dylan. YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT. PERIOD.

If you don't like his music, you AT LEAST have to respect his lyrics. Sometimes it's just that simple.

 

[TVRKing]

My top 5 are

1. Linkin Park

2. Linkin Park

3. Linkin Park

4. Slipknot

5. Rod Stewart

Actually not really, in your opinion you think he is good but many people do not like him. I personally do not care for him and will not listen to his music.

My top 5 are

1. Linkin Park

2. Linkin Parf

3. Linkin Park

4. Linkin Park

5. Rod Stewart

Agree

 

[BlackBeadyEyes]

Actually not really, in your opinion you think he is good but many people do not like him. I personally do not care for him and will not listen to his music.

But you have to admit that he's a premier lyricist, right?

RIGHT???

 

[Joey D]

But you have to admit that he's a premier lyricist, right?

RIGHT???

To be honest, no I don't think his lyrics are all that great, most rap lyrics are the same way.

 

[Nitrof1]

tokio hotel
they are too cheesy

 

[exigeracer]

Panic at the Disco is terrible, terrible music. Terrible.

Terrible.










Terrible.

 

[TVRKing]

most rap lyrics are the same way.

From admittedly limited experience most (c)rap that I've heard consists of:

Bling
Rolling on 20's
Hoes
Brothaz
Getting laid
Getting high
Getting killed
SUV's
Low Rides


Of course, I could be wrong.

Sums it up pretty good, about how all the rap is that I have heard.

Well then you haven't been listening to Eminem, like you said you have, because that isn't really what he raps about.

He uses actual literary devices in his rhyme, and does it quite well. I took a History of African American Music course taught by a guy who produces a jubilation gospel choir and has a phd in African American Studies and he praised Eminem for being the real deal.

For the record (pun intended), I don't listen to Eminem at all, I maybe have one track. I'm just putting forth what I was taught at a college level.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

There's only really one band I really hate and that's Nickelback. I just cannot stand them, ugh.

I actually said I don't listen to his music:

But looking at his lyrics online and the stuff they play on the radio makes him look and sound like any other generic rapper. I would post examples, however the AUP doesn't allow for the language so I won't. I can not call someone a lyrical master when they have to substitute swearing into their music to fill gaps. I have nothing wrong with swearing nor am I for censoring it, I just think it shows a lack of creativity when you can't think of anything better to say then **** that and **** this.

 

[exigeracer]

Meh, I don't listen to enough of his music to put up an argument, and neither do you. I am just going on what a Doctor taught me.

 

[Bones Brigade]

Meh, I don't listen to enough of his music to put up an argument, and neither do you. I am just going on what a Doctor taught me.

your professor was trying to get cool points. eminem has some talent, sure, but he is not one of the greatest ever. thats a bunch of bs.

and ALL rappers use literary devices. rhyming is a literary device. meter is a literary device. "party like a rock star" uses literary devices.

without ever hearing your prof. speak i can say with a good amount of confidence that he was using eminem as an example (a dumbed down example) of whatever it was the guy was teaching.

plus, just cuz a guy has a PhD doesn't mean he is right about everything. there are probably other guys with PhDs in literature or in music who think eminem is terrible.

so, if you dont have an opinion, and you dont listen to him, dont use someone elses opinion and tell us its fact.


i hate:

top 40 (shop boys, akon, rich boy, etc.)
anything on "country" radio stations (doesnt mean i hate country)
anything that sounds remotely like puddle of mudd, stone sour, nickleback etc.
"artists" who dont write their own music
contemporary christian music

 

[Richardrfo]

Robots In Disguise.

I was asked to go to their gig at Colchester arts centre on Tuesday because otherwise it would just be my mate and his friend who he didn't actually know too well, so being the amazing person that I am, I decided to accompany him.

What a mistake that was.


Their claim to fame is they were on The Mighty Boosh, which I don't like either.

Bob Dylan is a dull, whiny, scrotum-faced halfwit.

 

[Touring Mars]

Bob Dylan does not whine...



...much.

And the scrotum reference was below the belt...

 

[TheCracker]

Not in this case:

so, if you dont have an opinion, and you dont listen to him, dont use someone elses opinion and tell us its fact.

The course could've been called "White men who steal black men's music" and Eminem was discussed and "accepted". And having a PhD wouldn't make him right about everything, but it would make him far more qualified to make judgment than me or Joey, who haven't played with Van Morrison or the Doors or Michael Bolton (the hate of his life). You gotta admit, his resume is pretty extensive. He is definitely more qualified to form these opinions on the music industry than most people.

Like I said, I don't want to argue something that I don't know much about.
