Bands you can't stand.

Ugh. I have a deep hatred for No Doubt. I don't mind Gwen Stefani on her own, and I think musically, the band is okay, but together...ARGH!! In "I'm Just A Girl" her voice sounds worse than nails on a chalkboard...more like minnie mouse huffing helium. Seriously, when I'm in a store and Spiderwebs or another crap song comes on, my ears try to revolt and leave my body. It's terrible. I've tried to get past it but I just cannot. It's almost a phobia. :thumbdown:

yeah...and i gotta agree with dewie cox on this one. if there is one band you just can't hate, it's the beatles. unless you don't like rock n roll. it's just hard for me to believe that there are people that are actually bothered by their music, but at the same time consider themselves fans of rock music. the beatles have influenced nearly all of the pop music that is out there these days in one way or another. to hate the beatles, when chances are, they are the very reason that some of your favorite artists ever picked up a guitar, just doesn't add up. maybe i'm overstating their importance, and i admit, they aren't my personal favorite band, but to hate them....well, i'd hate to see your record collection.

there is a beatles song/album for everyone.

I'm sorry but statements like this really rile me. Why is such a prerequisite of life to like The Beatles? How can you suggest that people aren't fans of rock music just because they don't like them? That's pretty nonsensical. I don't hate them, I just don't like their music at all, it bores me, it's nothing special to me. I don't feel I need to justify my record collection as a result of this either.

Yes, they may have had a influence on a lot of bands, but nearly all of them? Doubtful. It's been over 40 years since they were making music - I would be worried if bands were not looking at more recent times for their influences, rather than all using the same one.

no need to get riled up. i never said you have to like the beatles. i just said i don't understand how you can hate them. there's a big difference. would you say you hate the beatles? doubt it. that's what this thread is about. "bands you can't stand". i can understand not feeling a connection to their music. or being bored with it. that's understandable. they haven't made music together in over 40 years...but to hate them is going a little far.................just my perspective. obviously the haters are gonna hate. but inside, i know they know they're full of shit.

So are you saying that *bands one can't stand* and *HATING* a band are the same thing? To me hate is a very strong word and i really don't to use it at all. Yes the Beatles I can't stand they are NOT going to be the first band I'm going to choose from my collection (I do have several of their albums) if I decided to go back to the 60's and play and I'm from the early 60's. I grew up hearing some of their music but over the years and felt they were overrated....many give them credit as IF they are Holy Grail of rock music. Also if you don't like them something must be mentally wrong with you. I don't hate them they are just not my first choice hear or do I feel compelled to listen to them. The same could be said for the band RUSH, however I respect peoples dislike of that band and leave it at as such. Somebody plays The Beatles for me I'm willing to listen.

If I was to go as far as to *hate* their music (which I wouldn't) I would never ever like them individually. I was once a DJ and I just about love all music INCLUDING country. I started out this thread disliking Bon Jovi but I really do like the song *Wanted Dead Or Alive* but BJ will be one of the last bands I'll choose to listen to and that also includes the Beatles.

Peace

It doesn't bother me that people don't like The Beatles. It was a different era and the songs were pretty poppy. There's a lot of Beatles stuff I like but a lot I find a bit limp. Each to their own.

You mentioned Michael Bolton. I'm sure that must be against forum rules and must be worth a ban. :evil:

sorry bout that ♥

My Pandora stations have been playing a lot of Phoenix lately and I find myslef moving to the next song almost every time. And other than a song or two, I hate most of the Killers stuff.

YOU HATE THE KILLERS!!!!

Amazing what a dramatic decline that band took. Hot Fuss is one of my favorite albums of the decade. Sam's Town is just ok. Then that last album was pathetically awful.

I will admit it, Day and Age wasn't their best album, but Sam's Town was!!! One of my favorite albums of all time!! I will say though, A Dustland Fairytale from their latest album is their best song ever!

I'll have to check it out. Last time I listened to Day & Age I thought every single song sucked. I hadn't been that disappointed in an album in a really long time.

I feel like, when listening to 'Sams Town'... Why don't I just listen to Born To Run?

Sorry, Rico, but yes...just one of those bands for me. To each his own i guess
