Muse used to be good, been downhill since Origin of Symmetry though.. now they're just an embarrassingly poor Queen tribute act.
ACDC I can generally bear an intro, then Brian Johnson starts "singing". The interval between him starting and me getting to the off switch is too fast for instruments to measure.
Beatles Lennon, Mccartney - radio off material. The Doors - utter toss
Agree about Adele. Shouty cows voice goes through me. 👿

Burn him ... 😈
Florence and the Machine...
it's like an annoying posh girl at a party shouting 'I'm really crazy and interesting' at the top of her voice and out of tune.
.....and she ruined that Candi Statton Track.
Oasis.
And Kilo, you're first against the wall when the revolution comes.
[i]Burn him ... [/i]
🙁
As long as I don't have to listen to bilge metal while you do.
I never 'got' AC/DC. They're ok and all, but I really don't understand why they're as well regarded in rawk circles as they are. Bunch of self-important Donington ruiners.
With Bon Scott they were great, he had a proper swagger to his vocals.
Plus they had the classic 'died before his time' but combined it with the 'tribute singer raised from obscurity' mix with iconography and uniforms and you've got a nice safe dangerous hard rock band.
Don't dislike them with Johnson FWIW, just a bit vanilla.
To be honest, you can't beat a bit of AC/DC when sitting in the back of a Wokka scooting across the desert. Maybe a bit of RATM or Rollins as well.
Me neither Cougar, never owned any ACDC, couldn't name a track, can't stand the singers voice, don't get the school boy thing, they seem like the "Clarkson" of bands*
* by that I mean music for MOR middle aged, dance like your dad, ironed be-jeaned white males.
Elton bloody John
Bon blinkin Jovi
any of the boyband sh*tbirds onth telly
Gangnam bloomin Style
Florence and the Machine, again.
semi-operatic warbling. It just sounds awful
Queen I absolutely hate Queen, and Meathead ARRRGGGGGHHHHH
Nicki Minaj.
Like a trout connected to a compressor.
In terms of adverts
Andrex, 'scrunch or fold' you can tell who scrunches and they smell of poo as they're not wiping their blooming bum properly and that flipping wet wipes for the toilet 👿 agh!
Florence and the Machine...
+100000000
Queen. Absolutely dreadful. Surely the worst band ever to be considered a bunch of musical geniuses by a significant minority?
Pink Floyd. Turgid, interminably self-indulgent drudgery.
Robbie Williams - I can just picture his far away look, haunted man of mystery pose he uses all the time to no effect, he looks more like he has filled his trousers with porridge...
Muse - Since it was pointed out to me you can hear him breathing in between lines it annoys me no end.
N-Dubz - Get a mental image of Dappy - induces vomit.
Stone Roses - It was 20 years ago! they were crap then and worse now.
Vampire Weekend, Snow Patrol and another +10000000 for Florence and the Machine.
Have to add the XX to that list now purely down to the sweaty forehead.
Just turn on Radio 1.
Oh, and Manic Street Preachers.
Each to their own and all that, but don't really understand the hatred for Queen.. totally appreciate certain songs have been over played, but they have a pretty extensive and diverse back catalogue, as well as arguably the greatest front man ever?
Totally agree that since Freddie died they should have quit, and Brian May should stop saying yes to people (Buckingham Palace etc) - but overall you don't get many musicians criticising Queen for their musical output?
just some to list that i cannot stand.
adele (shouty pompous full of it ear violator)
emilie sande (a year ago no one had ever heard of her,now you cannot get away from her)
robbie williams (a great big c*ck)
justin beeper (aaargh 😡
bon jovdge (a load of old rubbish)
eric clapton (slow hand/slow w*nk more like)
beatles (just never done anything for me)
oasis (best band in the world my a&se)
I consider myself a fairly tolerant sort, but when Adele starts her warbling it fills me with a murderous rage
Adele is ace, she's brought Reeves & Mortimer club style singing to the masses!
LET THE SKY FO!
EE WILL CRUM BO!
WEE WILL STAN TOW!
As for me, Oasis, Blur, Deftones and Coldplay all make me a bit sick in my mouth.
Robbie Williams
Michael Bubble
Beiber
All make my skin crawl
In the 1980s the following BBC DJs were obsolete and knackers yard material:
Tony Blackburn, Bob Harris, That other one, Terry Wogan and yet, AND YET.......
They are all on R2 in 2013. What next, Simon Bates with Our Tune?
BBC, take then round the back and put them out of their (and our) misery FFS!
er and Stereophonics
Three pages and no one has mentioned Olly Murs?
[i]no one has mentioned Olly Murs?[/i]
Who?
[i]arguably the greatest front man ever[/i]
Yes, I'd certain argue against that point
Somebody did mention Gok Wan earlier, so I'm off: How it is that somebody who dresses as badly as him/her (i'm never quite sure) is considered to be some sort of authority on style is a total mystery to me.
I personally believe there is plenty of subject matter to keep this to a music thread...
Too many to mention but a team of vindictive scientists have taken the very worst of Maroon 5 put it in a big computer and have puked up Train. You can just imagine them guesting in every white toothed American teen series.
Hate them with a passion.
Any band/artist who wouldn't have a record deal/following if it wasn't for their haircuts.
Anything bland / songs that sound like someone's spent 5 minutes on the lyrics.

Oh dear, 6Music fail shocker: Radmac show starts with bloody Oasis, now playing Manics. Shoot me, now!
[Edit]Even worse, its Motorcycle Bloody Emptiness! What is that on about?
I like Muse. Queen tribute act? Nah, much better than Queen.
I also like Mumford and Sons. Posh kids can't do folk? Bit of inverted snobbery there.
However, One Direction I cannot stand. Rather than [s]covering[/s] ruining a perfectly good song for Comic Relief I'd much rather they'd remade "The Human Caterpillar" with Harry Stiles right at the back so he can have some appreciate of what he has subjected by ears to! Also much of the turgid mind numbing shit that they insist on churning out on Capital 102 makes my blood boil. Not good that it's played on the car radio. Bit like the equivalent of road rage pre-raging.
DezB -
RUSH! Loads of fans on here, but I find their twiddly wee guitar ****ery and lispy high pitched vocals the most puke-inducing load of tosh ever.
Are you my wife?
...Dez...I think we might have the same wife!?! (unless there's more than one person who doesn't like Geddy's singing, which I find unlikely)
organic355 - MemberFlorence and the Machine...

Amen to that brother! How you can murder a classic like that without facing a firing squad for it? Its just not right!
I'm pretty open minded about music, I understand that there's no such thing as better/worse, and that just because I don't like it, doesn't mean it has no merit.
[i]Except[/i] Nicki Minaj.
One Direction I cannot stand
Every time I hear their name, I hear it as "wand erection" and think it's something to do with Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley.
(And now, you will too)
Nicki Minje gets a lot of coverage on Capital 102. ****.
[i]...Dez...I think we might have the same wife!?! (unless there's more than one person who doesn't like Geddy's singing, which I find unlikely)[/i]
However, the singing is probably the least offensive thing about them.

There's no snobbery, inverted or otherwise, going on. They're just smugly, insufferably-annoyingly and murder-inducingly shite!!
The musical equivalent of a group of morris dancers outside the pub, on a nice summer evening, when you're trying to have a quiet pint.
As a young child (so talking 35+) years ago now, I had an old aunt who had an irrational dislike for Benny Hill. She couldn't stand him and would go out of the room when he was on tv. That had a big impact on me and i made a point of not wanting to ever end up like that about anything.
By and large there is hardly anything that i cant tolerate...
Except Chris Moyles.
