    I’ll start with ABBA.

    I hated them at the time (I was an uppity wee punk rocker) but time hasn’t seen me mellow on that one

    In agreement with the other thread: Prince

    He’s just an over-sexed dwarf. Why he’s feted as some kind of genius is beyond me

    Any of that middle/upper class modern’ish-faux-indie stuff like The Kooks. Fk me I detest crap like that.
    99% of the stuff they play on Radio 2. Can I include Radio 2 itself? I’d love to kill Radio 2 with fire til its dead.

    +1 Coldplay & Muse

    My in-laws were bought tickets for a Muse gig in Sheffield and came back saying it was amazing and that they’d buy all the kids tickets to go and see them again. I left them in no doubt that I wasn’t being ungrateful but I will not be wasting precious moments of my life going and see Muse live.

    Metallica – whole career based on one idea stolen from Diamond Head.

    Oasis. I’ve heard better sixth formers.

    Adele – learn to breath in between the notes, there’s a love.

    The Killers – American Duran Duran tribute act with added Mormon.

    I dislike all music, yes they are all noise, except ABBA and Carpenter but I cannot listen to them because of past memories. 😯

    Ah, Adele. My mum like her music. And my mum doesn’t even listen to music. I think thats the sort of demographic she appeals to. People with no taste.

    Coldplay. I genuinely cannot figure out how they are as massive as they are. There are plenty of bands that don’t appeal to me but I can understand how they got big (Bon Jovi for example), but Coldplay I really, really don’t understand how they are any bigger than, say, Starsailor.

    Starsailor.

    Bon Jovi.

    Florence Welsh

    Puff Daddy / P Diddy / Diddy / whatever he’s called this week. Worst. Rapper. Ever.

    Not my cup of tea, but in their defence, ABBA nailed pop music at its purest in ways few can manage. I have no problem with there being ABBA, I just don’t choose to listen to it.

    You’d have loved the Coldplay gig at Wembley I went to.

    And the Bon Jovi one at the Etihad in Manchester, where Starsailor were the support 🙂
