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.

Hate is a strong term... so the only band I truly hate is Weezer.

Seemingly popular bands which will cause a quick skip/channel change include:
Foo Fighters, My Morning Jacket, Arctic Monkeys, Def Leppard, Deftones, Limp Biscuit, Lenny Kravitz, Supertramp, The Used, A Day to Remember, Good Charlotte, Hole, Jesus Lizard

I always found skater punk rock like Green Day and Blink 182 annoying ... which is really hard to pull off considering you are technically a rock band.  There is something about that style of music that attracts musicians with very punchable faces.  If my doorbell rang and I answered the door and Billie Joe Armstrong was standing before me I would punch him square in the nose.  No doubt.  No doubt in my mind.

Green Day and most of what my husband listens to. (Death Metal.)

The Black Keys - nothing sounds original.  Just boring as hell.

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.

AC/DC. I don't mind the Bon Scott era. But everything post BS just all sounds the same.

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.
