    I pretty much agree with kenny olav. They are classic bands for a reason.

    I think the only band mentioned that I hate is U2, but I don't really classify them as classic. To me classic rock bands are from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

    That's not to say that there aren't any bands already mentioned that I don't connect with. Pink Floyd and the Grateful Dead fit that for me, but I don't hate them either.

    ---yeah, zeppelin can never be overrated, .... but, there aren't many better than Hendrix, man...and at his age when he died.!! The accomplishments just cannot be bested....but led zeppelin---come on
    they are GODS of ROCK. Not to minimize the Stones...(not a fan of the Who)...but Hendrix outbeats the Stones anytime, anywhere..(and I adore the Stones, for the record.)

    I had the day off sick from work today, and I've been watching some of VH1's 100 Greatest Artists, and it inspired me to make a list of my LEAST favorite classic bands and artists.

    I know some of these might get me in trouble, or even might be considered blasphemy, but I was never able to like these bands for one reason or another and in my opinion some of them are just bad.

    I'm curious if I'm the only one who doesn't like some of these bands, and what are some bands that you people can't stand that might otherwise be considered "The Greatest" to the majority of music fans.

    I thought it would fun to hear some opinions, thanks! Here's my list, (In no certain order):

    Pink Floyd
    Grateful Dead
    Bruce Springsteen
    U2
    Kiss
    James Brown
    The Ramones
    The Rolling Stones
    The Who
    The Doors
    Bob Dylan
    The Clash
    David Bowie
    Bob Marley
    Lynyrd Skynyrd
    Neil Young
    Van Halen
    Elvis Costello
    Aerosmith
    Sex Pistols

    :shock: :? ;) :ugeek: :lol:


    You pretty much named some of the greatest rock and roll artists of all time. I am sorry, but you should really try to 95 percent of the bands on your list a second chance w/ few exceptions like U2 becaue they suck.

    I'd ask the OP what classic bands/artists they do like?!

    Personally I don't care for much by the Beatles, but the Stones, Zeppelin, The Clash, Dylan?! :o Like it or not, many of todays bands simply wouldn't exist if it wasn't for a lot of those bands.

    that doesn't mean fans should like those bands, now does it? one example is the who had a huge influence on the ramones, sex pistols and clash and pearl jam. should fans of those bands like the who just cause of the huge influence they had on said bands?

    I don't think anyone "should" like a band just 'because', but often times you can listen to an older band who you never related to one of your favourite bands, and suddenly have an 'ah ha' moment, which can then have a kind of snowball effect.

    I do see your point though. I guess I'm more surprised by the breadth of genres listed, and I ask again, what older bands does the OP like? For me personally, I got to an age where bands that once seemed current were starting to stagnate, nothing 'new' was coming out, so the logical thing was to look back to older bands - and the classic bands (some of whom were listed) have lasted for a reason.........

    i would never relate the who as being a huge influence on basically the 3 main bands of punk music. the who had very little punk in them.

    i just laughed at the OP to be honest with you. those are the founding rock bands of rock. it's like someone being a country fan and hating johnny cash. to each is their own but sometimes you gotta wonder if people are just looking to a rise outta other people on here or if they really hate those bands.

    Yeah, that is a great one. As I said Zep has some songs I like and that's definitely one of them.
    They're just not a band that I can spend a lot of time listening to.

    They were a big influence on them, no doubt, I think the info could be found in countless interviews and articles about punk rock. Besides that, alot of early Who sounds pretty punky, if not in attitude then in the actual music. I've always thought that the smashing of instruments was very punk rock.

    With this I agree. I might not have thought of these bands as sounding very Who-ish but they regularly cited The Who as an influence.

    I like the way you expressed this, I will use (steal) the same format.

    Bands I respect, understand their popularity, but simply don't like
    Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
    U2
    Bob Dylan - sounds like a kazoo

    Bands who despite their greatness, I only like a few songs
    The Beatles - the songs that I like, I love, but the rest I just can't get into
    Nirvana - not sure if this counts, they have been around for 20+ years, but I really only like a couple of their songs
    Led Zeppelin
    The Who
    Pink Floyd

    Bands I flat-out hate
    AC/DC
    Sex Pistols
    Van Halen
    Rush

    Maybe I have no taste, or whatever, but I just can't force myself to enjoy this stuff simply because they are considered to be "classic". I like "The Money Pit".
