I have to say Radiohead. I like Radiohead but so many of their fans are so incredibly stupid. It seems that they all believe that Radiohead is a perfect band that has not put out anything bad after Pablo Honey. I'll be the first one to call The Bends and OK Computer masterpieces and 2 of the best rock albums I have ever heard. However much of the rest of their work is forgettable. Newsflash: Kid A, Amnesiac, and HTTT are not very good albums. Stop making them sound like masterpieces.
whaaaaa???? i love all of their albums, especially the last 3...i can udnerstand how ppl wouldn't like kid a/amnesiac but to me it's like when led zep came out w/ that acoustic album and ppl were like 'what the fuck is this!?!?' they wanted paranoid android pt 2, not kid a or amnesiac.
and httt has grown on me a ton, it might even be my fav radiohead album...all the layers of music, the great lyrics, the great music....! drunken punch up at a wedding, scatterbrain, wolf at the door, go to sleep, where i end and you begin....a very solid album, imho
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
Haha, word that brotha man. On the subject of Radiohead annoying fans... ehhh, the people that we were around at Bonnaroo were really awesome people. No one was really dumb or annoying... and who cares if someone is a diehard fan? I mean, most of the time, you can learn interesting things about the band from them, even if they enjoy their music that much, aren't you the same way with at least one band you enjoy?
I'm thinking the Mars Volta might have some pretty lame fans... all pretentious and shit. Deftones prolly... other than that... most fans of the bands I've seen haven't really annoyed me that much... except for the last Incubus concert... we were packt like sardines in a crushd tin box and when "Anna Molly" came on... everyone went absolutely insane... moshing and shit... fuck just enjoy the music, you don't have to go crazy... unless that's how you enjoy it, but ya know, that annoyed me.
"Stunned by my own reflection, It's looking back, sees me too clearly and I swore I'd never go there again, Not unlike a friend that politely drags you down,down,down"
When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"
I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.

Exactly! There's nothing wrong with falling head over heels with a certain band and their sound. It's special to have actually. The sound of music you really love blasting through your speakers and hitting your eardrums followed by you getting completely lost in it is a feeling like no other...better than any drug! That one group that does it for you and never disappoints. I proud to say I have a love affair with a handful of amazing bands...music is a huge part of my life.

You're a jackass for saying this and you're also very very wrong.
But a lot of Radiohead fans reach a level of pretentiousness that boggles the mind... lots of really cool people too, but you know the way it goes.

And looking back we can all see, curiously enough, that Zep 3 was the best of the first 4 zep records.
I think HTTT is a monster of a record. It's like 16 songs long or something and absolutely no filler.

i think it's pretty tough to top that. though the crowd at the brand new show i went to was the most annoying crowd i've ever been in.
why are they annoying cause they shitfaced drunk alot. ever see pj fans drink beers before during and after concerts.DMB have some of the hottest fans around
i second that. the hottest girl i know is a diehard dave fan. let's face it... you go to pearl jam it's 80% guys. you go to a dmb concert and there is so much tail i can't even see the stage.

yes, but i've never met fans who seem to think your opinion of their favorite band's weakest album is the best possible indicator of your intellect and value as a human being. you tell me riot act sucks, and ill say you're right. in fact, pearl jam hasn't been particularly compelling since yield. but you tell a radiohead fan amnesiac is a weak album or hail to thief is average, and they look at you like you were telling them hitler was onto something back in the 40s. it's the most annoying thing in the world. and i want to kick those fans in the balls.
No disrespect to the band - but the Tragically Hip has the most annoying fans out of any band I have ever seen in concert. WAY too many drunk jock boys yelling for "At The Hundredth Meridian" and copying every dance move and facial tick that Gord puts out....excessive sing-a-longs....the "HIP HIP HIP HIP...." chant during the encore break is mind-numbing.....
.....I saw them at a small club in Toronto a few months back and the show was amazing, but the crowd drove me nuts....I have never had more beer spilt on me by rowdy muscle bound assholes than I did that night (except maybe at a Pearl Jam concert)
....."It's not the band I hate, It's their fans" (Sloan)
In my world everyone is a pony,
and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!
wait is this how it goes "my band is better than yours uhh no my band is better but your fans are assholes and we are not " oh wait i think i stumbled onto a kids forum this morning ,sorry i'm out of here......

It's not hard to find people here who seem to think that any criticism of the band or the Ten Club is akin to advocating child sacrifice. I'm not saying that there aren't obnoxious Radiohead fans out there, but we've got 'em here too.
I don't get any of it, really. I don't care for Kid A, but if someone else thinks it's the greatest album ever made, who am I to argue? It's all a matter of taste anyway. I won't get offended if someone says Vs. sucks. I might be surprised, I might feel sorry for them that they're unable to enjoy such a kick-ass record, but that's it. Why are people so concerned with what everyone else thinks anyway?
As for DMB fans, they're alright when they're not at DMB shows. It's when they're drunk and falling on me that they're annoying.

I couldn't agree more, and I'm probably one of the biggest Hip fans on the planet. To be fair to the band, the Hip do have a lot of decent respectful fans (like myself), but unfortunately they're few and far between these days. I find the Canadian fans to be particularly annoying, especially at the outdoor festival gigs. Drunken morons running around in Leafs jerseys, wearing the flag as a cape and yelling for "New Orleans is Sinking" at the top of their lungs. I'd love to see the looks on these idiots' faces when they find out that Gord Downie is actually a Bruins fan and despises the Maple Leafs (lol). These people aren't there for the music. They're only there to get hammered, start fights, and hear the "greatest hits". As a true fan of the band who simply wants to have a couple of drinks and soak in the music, it's incredibly frustrating trying to deal with these douchebags. It's even worse when they get violent.
I might get flak from some of the Canadians for saying this, but I find the shows in the U.S. to be much more fun (and safer). I saw the Hip 3 nights in a row in Boston a couple of years ago, and the American fans I met over the course of those three shows were incredibly cool. Easily some of the most laid-back people I've ever had the pleasure of hanging out with. Same thing with the Hip's San Francisco show back in '98. They were strictly there because they loved the music, and they discovered the band in an organic way with no added patriotic baggage attatched to it. Thankfully I discovered the Hip long before they became "Canada's band", and the first few times I saw them live in the early 90s, you really didn't see this kind of behavior at their shows...at least the ones I went to. It's a shame it's gotten so bad.
And for those folks who think Pearl Jam fans are impervious to this kind of criticism, think again. The amount of drunken idiots I had to put up with at the Calgary PJ show in 2005 was just ridiculous. Some of these people were really out of control. The TenClub members standing directly in front of us were particularly annoying. We get it. You're a better fan than everyone else because you're a club member and you've been to 90 shows. Congratulations. Now shut the f--- up.

For my pick, i'm going to say U2 fans. It's not because I don't like the band or the actual fans (I have many friends who are), but I feel like there was this weird reemergence with them that I can't quite explain. Follow me:
Many people forget this, but U2 really were not that hot during the 90's. After "Achtung Baby," they put out "Zooropa (the "No Code" of U2 albums which I actually liked, but U2 faithfuls did not)," the horrible "Pop," and then the weak, weak "All That You Can't Leave Behind (this also could have be titled "Why Coldplay Has a Career").
Fast forward to '04: They release "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," they're playing the album on the back of a pick-up truck in NYC and girls are screaming like it's John and Paul. I think many people had the same reaction I did: where did these guys come from? It's like all these diehards came out of the woodwork. And since i really can't explain why all of these fans seemingly came out of nowhere to the tune of new, mediocre album and all of a sudden it's 1988 again and this is the biggest band in the world, I"m calling their fans annoying. Where the hell were they?
My only working theory is terrible, but I'll share anyway: I feel these fans are people in their late 20's and 30's that have mainly lost touch with music because of adulthood. It's not so much that they're not interested anymore, it's that other hobbies, job, kids have gotten in the way. Then all of a sudden, U2 has their first album in 4 years and the aformentioned think "oh yes, U2! I LOVE THEM and i'm so happy they're back. I havent' listened to anything new in a while and here's this band I used to be in love with putting out a new album and that single is great!"
Those undecided,........ Needn't have faith to be free
And those misguided, There was a plan for them to be
Now you got both sides Claiming killing in Gods name
But God is nowhere,..... To be found, conveniently
