What music do you absolutely, completely and utterly despise?

Right now, anything marketed and produced by middle aged white blokes exploiting young black artists. It’s utter shite. Some of it is ropey slam poetry at best.

Oh and country and western.

I used to despise opera, but I spent six years working for a well known London opera establishment. Quite like it now.

The music of the human voice

Harpsichord type chamber music.
Power ballads.
MOR.
Lift music.
Meat loaf.
&+1 for Elton John. Bloody tiny dancer……..arsecheeks. 🙂

Rap and pop. Detest and loathe both. 😐

Yep jazz here too. Gots lots of mates who love it. And rap and heavy metal bamboozle me too.

Country.

I’m currently listening to Jo Whiley who’s doing her usual gushing sycophant over somebody called Kacey Musgroves who is currently singing country about liking country. **** me.

Come back when you’ve listened to Kind of Blue by Miles Davis.

Agreed, bloomin’ brilliant album.

Reminds me, I caught some jazz on BBC4 last Friday and it was rather good.

Mumford and Sons and any ‘modern dirge American whiney pop Beyoncé type’ stuff, poodle rock etc. Can’t say there is any other type of music that somewhere there isn’t something ok even country i.e. Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton (Jolene).

Now there are bagpipes and bagpipes.

I tend to reserve hate for very specific subjects, but when it comes to music these two are right up there:

Michael Bublé
Foo Fighters

So bland they’re among the most offensive sounds ever created.

Certainly anything where the auto tune is turned up to max.
Any reggae with a drum machine.
All this really angsty “soul” music by love struck women.
Anything that you can hear from outside a car.
Whiny American skate brats who think their teacher suck.
Hair bands who make Planet Rock unlistenable.

I seem to like much of what you lot hate……

But I agree with country, and above all manufactured sound-alike dross

Rap you say 🙂

Completely pretentious bollocks – had that rubbish forced into my ears as a kid, tantamount to child abuse IMO. It’s music for the effete, bring on John Thomson.

Pretentious rogerthecat? I don’t think so!

Edit: you want pretentious? Try prog rock from the 70’s.

Just stuff that’s badly done. There’s some good pop, good heavy metal, but so much of it is just lazy and rubbish.
Cover versions of anything.
Anything on X Factor.

@Cinnamongirl – that was the first on my list of music up against the metaphorical wall.

Jazz, it’s musical epilepsy.

you sir, are a genius

The Blues. Just **** off you deary fat fretboard **** and take your miserable diminished 7ths with you.

loving your work on this thread ladies and gents, feeling the hate 😆

Come back when you’ve listened to Kind of Blue by Miles Davis.

I prefer jazz to be a bit more structured. In terms of Miles Davis I like “Someday My Prince Will Come”. Dave Brubeck’s “Take 5” mind change minds on jazz.

As said I agree about Country and Western. May be sacrilige, but I enjoy the blues but can’t stand Eric Clapton doing it. To me he sucks the deep meaning out of classic songs.

I was with richmars until He started talk7ng bollock about covers.

There are plenty of covers that smash the original out of the park.

Buþ I even like 3 cliff richard songs

Another vote for ska here, and 2 tone. Madness hold a particularly high position of hate.

99% of the crap played on Capital.

I think alot of people just don’t really like music.

I can get into just about any genre if it’s good (with the exception of the darkest black metal). There’s something to appreciate in any decent music if you listen properly.

EDM I think they call it.
David Guetta and all that lot.
Proper rubbish.
And anything involving that little willy fella off of the voice what my wife watches, he likes his ableton live presets a bit too much…

I liked to think I was a man of good and broad musical taste. Everything from jazz (Starless and Bible Black, coolest record ever) to rap, punk, classical etc.
Reading this thread got me listing all the things I can’t stand, including any modern R n B, lovers rock, poodle rock, most chart shite etc.

I now realize I’m as narrow minded as the next man. 😀

boy/girl bands etc, in fact any ‘chart’ stuff played on 4music tv channel, rihanna et al.

A) ****ing awful 80’s hair-rock, played by people who took Spinal Tap as an instruction manual

There’s no such thing….cock rock is ace!

I typically despise dance music, pop and r&b.

I also have a hatred of ‘safe’, coffee table type rock (e.g Chilli Peppers By the Way, later Foo Fighters). It’s just a bit poo.

Oh yeah, I also really hate the chilli peppers, they are the worst band.

I struggle to really hate music as such but I’m no fan of r&b (modern American stuff) and can’t be doing with uk grime ( my 14 year old subjects me to this when we go out in the car, angry young lads talking about how tough they are and how they’re going to mess up some other rapper)

Nowt wrong with jazz though, even used to like a bit of acid jazz…. Mother Earth, courderoy etc.

Jazz. A musical headache. I have to leave any establishment that plays it. I absolutely hate it.
Total shite.

Drum n bass, House,Rap.Beetles ,Coldplay ,

I also hate the harpsichord.

RnB, reggae, and country music have absolute zero merit for me.

All I can come up with is Mick Hucknall so far…….

Harpsichord – second that and then the harp followed by bagpipes recorder and most things R3 plays after 1100 at night.

Grandmaster Flash was the high water mark for rap, IMHO.

I loved it then and love it now.

The rest of the blinged up bellends gurning incoherently into a mic accompanied by an intentionally unlistenable backing track makes me want strangle the smug (invariably white) producer peddling more shit than Howard Marks.

I’ve turned into a middle aged music critic.

Just that kind of grunty metal (thrash? doom? death? don’t know the correct terminology), possibly involving costumes. It’s very tedious. I can find redeeming features in all other genres including jazz, country and happy hardcore.

All I can come up with is Mick Hucknall so far…..

How did we ALL miss that?

None.
🙂
There’s stuff I like in every genre.

Although I might make an exception for hair metal – can’t think of much of that ilk that doesn’t make me a bit queasy.
