Never understood how anyone could like that band. The thought of JH's vocals makes me cringe.

I'm with you on this one too.

Plus, JH is such a douche. Which makes me like them even less.

I am a bit surprised to see Springsteen mentioned a few times on this list. For my money, he's the best songwriter out there. But to each their own, I guess.

2 things, your right about bruce springsteen, but metallica, well everybody is entitled to their opinion and i respect that, but no way :?

Well, in fairness, it's really not JH's vocals that turn me off so much as his general douchebaggery. I find, for example, that when Apocalyptica covered Metallica, I liked it a lot more - probably because the songs are good. I just have a tough time separating the songs from the fact that I REALLY dislike JH.

That is probably a more fair statement with regard to my personal opinion. But of course, your mileage may vary.

Coldplay, Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Band of Horses, Lady Gaga and a lot of artists out today.

^ Ah! Good call on Arcade Fire. *nods*

I'm not gettin' all the love for them. Canada has better bands, IMO.

I think sometimes if you go see a band live, it helps understand the obsession. I was a casual Springsteen fan, and my mom and dad, and two best friends are HUGE HUGE Springsteen fans. My dad and mom took me to see Springsteen, on the "Magic" and I was absolutely amazed. It was like seeing a crowd at Pearl jam. You are in a room full of people who just "get it." Saw him again with my two best friends on the WOAD tour and it was total awesomeness. Really had a whole new appreciation for Springsteen after seeing them live.

I am going to try to see MMJ in a few weeks. Really love their last two records. still need to listen to z proper though. Haven't given that one a full sit down and listen just yet.

The Beatles (actually, just Sgt. Pepper --- more a fan of their early albums)

How do you hate that album? Anyone who hates the Beatles or just thinks they are over rated in any way needs to get a clue.

I have never been a big Led Zep fan. John Bonham is great and all, but I think Black Sabbath is way better. Jimmy Page solos too much and Robert Plant can be a little annoying. Plus they ripped off half their songs from other people.

Wilco

Is Modest Mouse even rated? And Wilco is awesome.

Sorry...I never understood the genius of Wilco...

As for Modest Mouse, they had been hyped up and I just didn't get why.

don't bash me, folks...this is just my opinion...

U2 (post Achtung)
Nirvana (i like Bleach & that's it)
Smashing Pumpkins (can't get past his voice)
Coldplay
The Eagles
Rush (see pumpkins)

Pearl Jam - seriously, are these clowns still around? I mean, Ten was OK, but they've sucked ever since then. They're the poor man's Creed. Hey Eddie Vedder, stop ripping off my man Scott Stapp's style.

Modest Mouse are awesome.
Some I really don't like:
Foo Fighters- I get that Dave is cool and all, but they are a singles band to me. Love Colour and Shape, but nothing since has really done anything for me. Their albums as a whole just sound incredibly generic to me. And I've seen them live too, still nothing.
Audioslave- OK i guess.
Stone Temple Pilots- Scott Weiland is an absolute tool. Music is boring to me.
U2- War through Achtung is a hell of a streak of albums, but everything after is not very good.
Muse- Really dislike them. Not really sure why.

but mainly Foo Fighters.

I can respect your opinion but this is a blatant exaggeration. Yeah, most of LZI is ripped off from old blues guys; the band had formed about a month before they recorded that album (it's not like Page/Plant were Lennon/McCartney writing songs for 5 years before they hit it big). But the last 8 albums are almost entirely original songs. Maybe 15-20% of their catalog is ripoffs.
