re: Popular Artists or Bands that you dislike

Police
U2

While I dont "hate" these acts, I have never just got their vibe...

Springsteen (he makes it hard for me to buy his stuff--you know, capitalism?)
Joe Cocker
Soundgarden
Wilco
Sir Elton (like a little bit--just not a huge fan)


There are plenty more that I can't think of now because I don't own any of their albums to referene

I honestly couldn't even get started on this. In the last 20 years or so, popularity is almost perfectly inversely proportional to quality of music.

I'd say Miley Cyrus is the gold standard of this axiom but she's far from the lone offender.

I'll nominate Red Hot Chili Peppers. Frusciante is great but I can't stand Kiedis.

I would pay top dollar to punch every member of My Morning Jacket in the face.

Mumford and Sons...... whiney drivel drives me nuts.
springsteen- no talent jerk
U2 - can't take anyone named Boner serious..
Dave Grohl - great drummer, but the foofighters screaming got old 4 albums ago
Dave Mathews- plays a nice guitar riff, but please learn to sing.
All Rap- talking over a techno beat is just boring and stupid- yes I am old- 4Q2

All modern country
All rap
All 80s hair bands
U2, DMB, Sting/Police, Bruce, Mumford, KOL, Radiohead, fun., rascal flatts, and most of all that adam livine and the burgundy 4

Hey now...don't be dissin' on Ratt and Doklen.

Agree on Springsteen but those who named Joe Cocker obviously never got to see him live. He was an amazing performer. Also agree with U2, I just don't see the attraction there.

Many bands are so much better appreciated after you see them in person. I have always found the Doors to be rather meh in the studio but in concert, they had very few equals.
