re: Extremely popular and loved musicians you hate

It wasn't Chuck who said he had 3 chords and the truth. I could see him saying "I got 2 chords and a lot of bullshite"

Neil Diamond - every time I see [insert drunk young idiots at a sporting event] howling that sing-songy, creeper anthem of his (Sweet Caroline), I wonder if they even know the guy behind the voice looked like the lovechild of Fat Elvis and a Wisconsin carpet salesman?

Grateful Dead - said several times already, but they could make psychadelia, prog, folky jams and even 80s synth pop sound like an ad jingle for mueslix.

Counting Crows - Who lost their whining 8 year old boy and will you please get him out of the recording studio?

Green Day - How Nyquil hasn't given these guys a major sponsorship is beyond me. The Knack was more punk, Debbie Gibson made more musically dynamic pop songs. I'll never get the appeal.

Jason Isbell - Ok. You wrote a good song. Then you did one that sounded like that... and another... and another... and another... then someone handed you a set of democrat party talking points. Deep.

Mumford & Sons - Limp songs that flaccidly build and build and build and build... and then flop onto the floor and piss themselves quietly.

Steve Winwood - Big voice. Too bad most of your songs are about as interesting as a rack of khaki socks.

Garth Brooks - Plenty of better musicians in country, plenty of better entertainers in rock and roll. Put a cowboy hat on a poster boy for Walmart shopper, shove him on a zipline, add some pyro and a pleasantly vanilla soundtrack and who knew?

Any song by Stevie Ray Vaughn sounds like wanking, to me.

He takes a while then

My issue with Stevie Ray is I like the songs I've heard by him initially but about 5 minutes in I start to wonder when the heck he's gonna finish like maybe he forgot the bridge and has nowhere to go with it.
