Beastie Boys are terrible. Like, absolutely painful to the ears.
That whole thing where every few syllables they all emphasize whatever word together is the lamest fucking thing ever to happen in music and they do it in almost every song. Absolute shit music with no appeal outside makes who were adolescents at the time of their fame.
^ Every time I hear the Beastie Boys I think of Who's Line is it Anyway when the white fuddy-duddy comedians try to rap. Sometimes they are no worse than the Beastie Boys.
Might I suggest The In Sound from Way Out compilation and The Mix-Up. You’ll barely hear any vocals, and you’ll get to experience one of our generation’s most underappreciated bass players driving some killer grooves.
Your two posts basically make it sound like the only Beastie Boys music you’ve ever heard is Licensed to Ill and whatever got played on MTV/FM radio.
They were all over the place musically—hell, they even made an unreleased country album as a joke/gift that musically sounds like an actual country album (lyrics are still pretty silly)—but what got airplay and sold records, of course, was the formula established early on with “Fight for Your Right to Party,” “Brass Monkey,” etc.
If you can stomach some (nonrap) vocals after the instrumental stuff, this one is a goddamn masterpiece.
I hate cancer i hate racist i don’t hate any artist that put their art out for people to listen or not
I totally agree, Jose.
Unless someone is being forced to listen to music they way the Malcolm McDowell character was forced to view images in the film version of "A Clockwork Orange", I don't understand the reason for the hate, let alone the dislike. This is why I insist that there is no such thing as "bad" music. Music does not do "bad" things. You may not like it, I may not like it, but it's not "bad" and there's no reason to hate it.

well, to be fair, the title of the thread is "bands you can't stand" not "bad bands" or "bad music". I too don't judge people for their musical tastes. I used to be kind of a snob, but then I came to the realization that, why would I make fun of something or someone for something that makes them happy or inspires them? it just doesn't make sense.
But I don't think it's horrible to talk about music we don't like. I actually find it interesting some of the submissions here. I, for one, often get crucified at work and in my personal life for saying I can't stand AC/DC.
The Beatles, though mostly John Lennon. I do recognize their immense influence on modern music, but I generally hate hearing their songs. I do like George.
1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th 1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California Nothing since then. I suck. 2016- Fenway Park, Boston - Both glorious nights 2022- Oakland Night 2

+1 on that. I truly don't understand where the DMB fans are even coming from a lot of the time. DMB is just awful to me .... And is also not rock, but their fans seem to think they are for some reason. They love the band - I just don't get it.
I also think the Foo Fighters SUCK. Mostly unlistenable for me. I recognize that they are a likeable bunch as a group of people, but I think they are just as bad Nickelback when it comes to their music. Bad canned rock in my ears. I have even tried to listen to their "deep cuts" to try and figure out what I'm missing.... Turns out I'm missing absolutely nothing, haha.

Re the bolded, I can relate to that. I'll admit there is music I can't stand- music that leaves me cringing or running out of the room. But there's just so much good music to talk about- I guess I just don't have time for the rest.

I agree with HFD - making fun of other music because you don't like it is kinda low, because obviously someone likes it. But I agree with you too. There is absolutely nothing wrong with just talking about how you don't like certain music. It is a part of the whole music fan experience: critiquing things is a valid activity. It's when it becomes mocking that it becomes lame. Like all the Nickelback memes... I hate those so much. And once you're actually mocking fans for having terrible taste, that is worse yet. Saying you don't get why people like something is one thing, but actually insulting them is another.

yeah, poor Nickleback! I'm not a fan but if they make a lot of people happy, good for them and their fans.

i admittedly used to shame people for liking them. and other types of music (like hair metal). then i grew up.

I don't like any ACDC post BS either. I think he was an amazingly diabolical singer.
I don't like Oasis even a little bit. Much to their dismay, the Beatles they are not.
And Kiss... I respect how they changed the concert experience, even though I don't like that experience, but the music and lyrics are just too basic for me.

i went to their reunion show in 97 when they redid the makeup thing. it was more like a circus than a concert. but cool to see nonetheless.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of their music, but I went to one of their shows, and it was an absolutely blast. The spectacle of it all - the pyrotechnics, the lights, the silly stage presentation, and the completely all-in fans are just plain fun. How the music sounded was irrelevant to me in the moment. I actually felt the same when I saw Phish in Chicago. The music isn't for me at all - total drag - but the crowd was so fun and friendly and into the experience that I didn't even really notice that I didn't like the music. I just watched the crowd the whole time and loved it.
