I was inspired to start this thread after reading the Coldplay/Fecular discharge discussion. I personally don't have that much of an opinion on Coldplay, they're fairly inoffensive but are unbelievably bland. The music equivalent of wallpaper paste.
So which band/artist really winds you up? Aside from the likes of Shitney Spears and Robbie Williams, I'm talking about those who are credible and critically acclaimed. And you feel like you are the only person who realises how shite they are.
Im gonna start the discussion with 2 of my most hated:
1. U2 - can anyone tell me why these Irish rockers are continually felated by the music press and adored by millions of fans all around the world? Aside from being derivative and peddling bullshit cock rock for the past 20 odd years, I find these dinosaurs completely reprehensible for their attitude towards poverty. Bono espouses eradicating Third World debt, but his attitude is indulgent and mostly insensitive to those millions who have allowed him and the rest of U2 to live well. This from a band who charges £45 for a ticket just to see Boner and 'the edge' (the shittest nickname in the history of rock) masturbate furiously on stage. In songs such as 'Crumbs From Your Table' Bono laments the West and its wealthiest peoples for not doing enough to solve world hunger. Bono suggests that crumbs from our table could help starving people in Africa. This may be true, but I find it disgusting coming from the mouth of a man as extravagant as Bono. Lose the sunglasses you stupid fuck.
2. Madonna - If the music press could remove 'Madges' penis from their ears for long enough they would realise that her supposed 'ability to adapt' to the current music scene is nothing short of bandwagon hopping. She charges in excess of £40 to see her mime and waggle her camel toe around. I would rather drink varnish.

Cash Machine is a hit (great at the gym) and they've got two other songs, but the rest of the CD is boring.
I saw them live, before the kaiser Chiefs at a festival, if KC are great entertainers, Hard-Fi are just openers. And I don't like to hear playing keys when there's only guitars on stage. |

I find Hard-Fi to be the personification of all that's wrong with music. If I had to listen to the (9/10, NME album of the year-rated) album all the way through I think I'd end up smashing my face into the corner of my desk for the duration.

I remember my friend and I were flicking through the music channels a couple of years ago, and we saw the lead singer of Nicklecrack walk onstage and scream to the crowd "Nickleback fucking rule man!".
We still laugh at that now.

definitely agree with nickleback. shitness personified.
mrs benji, who doesn't really care much for music despises nickleback with a passion. whenever they come on the radio/tv, she spirals into a rage, like which i don't see at any other time.
spit starts flyin and even more obseneties than usual are spurted out.
makes me laugh actually.

CKY. Taking Back Sunday. My Chemical Romance(had to sit through them two or three times now when they were opening for bands I like). Story of the Year(had to sit through them once. Seems really lame when the guitarists are doing rolls and shit while playing). The Casualties(seen them once as well talk about awful "punk rock"). The Unseen, the same as the Casualties.

I'll agree about U2, and not because of Bono's "feed the starving children" politics, but just because most of what I've heard from them was pretty boring. I'll also agree with Brian about Creed and Nickelback (which is essentially just Creed without Jesus; they sound exactly alike to me). I'm sure U2 has some redeeming qualities, but I don't know that those other two do.

The last sentence was very good, but not enough to make up for all the previous ones in this post.
Velvet Revolver and Gun n Roses over Radiohead and Bjork? What is the world coming to?

I give my vote to James Blunt too, his voice is a real pain in the ass.
Although they are unebearable now, I really like the first U2 albums (Boy, War, The Unforgettable Fire, The Josua Tree), they're great IMO.

Im loving this thread. Advocating violence against shit bands and comparing U2 fans to coma victims!
I've just thought of another one: Kanye West.
Okay, the guys music isn't bad for hip hop, but if you strip away all the samples I think you would be left with some very bare bones. The music press dont seem to agree unfortunately and are often unavailable for comment on the issue because they are too busy choking on Kanyes flaccid penis. There are multiple mentions of cars, girls, weed and money with a couple of political references thrown in but the content of his records is often been sieved by reviewers (the references to bitches and ho's removed) leaving only a 'conscious' rapper who is barely recognisable from the suave, ego-driven, contradictory reality.
He spoke out about homophobia in rap and called George bush a racist. Big fucking deal.
Also, thinks he is God.

When I meet people who say they like U2, I tend to think they are a bit special, you know like a coma victim that has a recorded message from daniel o'donnell. They shouldnt be mocked, they should be pitied. That said it is between them and coldplay that if I had to listen to an album by them, or to be stripped of my skin and dipped in salt, I would choose the latter over both.

Any corporate snot-nosed poppy "punk" bands who whine about love, or who play ill-conceived three-chord covers of old pop standards without melody, i.e. any band who lists Green Day as one of their prime influences. (I actually don't mind Green Day, but any band who namechecks them must naturally suck.) |

To be honest there aren't too many bands that I will criticise. After all, how many albums have I made? Answer = 0.
But I suppose I find Coldplay a bit bland (then again some people may find my musical taste a bit bland, so it's all just opinions really) and I don't care for Morissey/The Smiths (overrated), although I haven't heard much to be honest.
But like I say, these people have made records and are successful and I'm not, so I can't be too critical of them.

Haha, I was just ranting to a coworker about Nickleback's awesomeness (at being the worst band of the first decade of this millenium).

I completely agree with llama about Bono being unfairly criticised for not doing enough and about UB40 being devoid of any value. |

I think there are way more overrated bands (like the aforementioned U2, Killers, etc) that don't really bother me despite their over-done respect. Only a few bands really make me angry with their sucess.
Dean's favorite Nickelback is pretty close to the top of my list, as are bands like Creed (thankfully defunct), Limp Bizkit (thankfully not very popular anymore) and Korn.

I don't mind that song (I have a nice version of michael stipe covering it. I've also heard a horrible beverly night cover though) but that lyric isn't all that great really.
The one I voted for was second :)

Oh god, I can't agree with the initial post more. U2 and Maddona make me spit bile. And I want to jam AIDs-tainted forks into Robbie William's eyes. Not just because he's a pop muppet who makes terrible music, he is a terrible human being. The macho posturing, his smug fucking face ARGHHHHHHHHHHGHGHGHHG
Yes, and cockrock too. GNR, the lot. Teen angst haircut bands. All of them. Any band with some skinny cunt in skinny jeans and a massive sideparting whining about his ex-girlfriend.. and the other singer who does the screamy vocal part. There's so many more interesting topics to write songs about and not inflict upon my ears.
Truth be said, I don't mind a few Coldplay songs. But a few whistable songs makes a good band not.
Needless to say, I'm somewhat passionate about music.

i can't really think of a band that really grinds my gears, but i'm sure there have been a few in the past. (i sat around trying to think of one for quite a while, so i think this post is worthy.)
