    +1 on that. I truly don't understand where the DMB fans are even coming from a lot of the time. DMB is just awful to me .... And is also not rock, but their fans seem to think they are for some reason. They love the band - I just don't get it.

    I also think the Foo Fighters SUCK. Mostly unlistenable for me. I recognize that they are a likeable bunch as a group of people, but I think they are just as bad Nickelback when it comes to their music. Bad canned rock in my ears. I have even tried to listen to their "deep cuts" to try and figure out what I'm missing.... Turns out I'm missing absolutely nothing, haha.

    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. 
    Re the bolded, I can relate to that.  I'll admit there is music I can't stand- music that leaves me cringing or running out of the room.  But there's just so much good music to talk about- I guess I just don't have time for the rest.

    I agree with HFD - making fun of other music because you don't like it is kinda low, because obviously someone likes it. But I agree with you too. There is absolutely nothing wrong with just talking about how you don't like certain music. It is a part of the whole music fan experience: critiquing things is a valid activity. It's when it becomes mocking that it becomes lame. Like all the Nickelback memes... I hate those so much. And once you're actually mocking fans for having terrible taste, that is worse yet. Saying you don't get why people like something is one thing, but actually insulting them is another.

    yeah, poor Nickleback!  I'm not a fan but if they make a lot of people happy, good for them and their fans.

    i admittedly used to shame people for liking them. and other types of music (like hair metal). then i grew up.

    I don't like any ACDC post BS either.  I think he was an amazingly diabolical singer.  

    I don't like Oasis even a little bit.  Much to their dismay,  the Beatles they are not.

    And Kiss... I respect how they changed the concert experience,  even though I don't like that experience,  but the music and lyrics are just too basic for me.

    i went to their reunion show in 97 when they redid the makeup thing. it was more like a circus than a concert. but cool to see nonetheless.

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of their music, but I went to one of their shows, and it was an absolutely blast. The spectacle of it all - the pyrotechnics, the lights, the silly stage presentation, and the completely all-in fans are just plain fun. How the music sounded was irrelevant to me in the moment. I actually felt the same when I saw Phish in Chicago. The music isn't for me at all - total drag - but the crowd was so fun and friendly and into the experience that I didn't even really notice that I didn't like the music. I just watched the crowd the whole time and loved it.
