If the band name starts with a "the" and their name ends in an "s" I probably can't stand them.

For me... well, I don't listen to the Radio just my own music collection so I can't say I'm tired of any band because I don't listen to what I don't like :)

I wasn't looking for a reaction, only expressing my opinion. Nice try on the insight though. :p

U2 is horrible, any rap, especially white rappers.
Good char, NFG, any punk really is crap, especially blink 182.
Rolling stones, Pink Floyd, any of that old crap that gets way too much praise.

I really enjoy things like Tool, Radiohead, Poison the Well, Coolhand luke, Zao, Thursday

I'll start:

Pink Floyd - I am so bored and uninspired by their music. I have listened to basically every album they have released (more than once) and I find nearly all of them impossible to listen to without falling asleep.

even dark side of the moon??

Yup. In fact, I have listened to it a number of times and I just don't like it. I like to think my musical thinking is somewhat diverse and I will give just about anything a shot, but Pink Floyd just does not do it for me.

Those are two bands that seem to have been named in this thread a lot.

Personally, I don't much care for U2, although I agree that they are talented. DMB = meh.

The Cranberries

Worst. Singing. Ever.

When I accidentally set fire to my cat and tried to put it out with kerosene and lemon juice, I could have sworn it was singing "Zombie"

hahaha, you are crazy, along with everyone else that has bashed dmb, u2, rolling stones, pink floyd, grateful dead, beatles. besides radiohead (which is a longshot) none of the bands you listed will be playing in 20 years. something has to be said for music that can stand the test of time. like it or not, u2 and dmb will still be around in 20 years, either still making records or still being played on the radio

there's a difference between recognizing greatness and personal preference.
this thread is "what band do you not like"... and even though i like dmb, u2, rolling stones, pink floyd, and beatles, other people can like what they like and i won't have a problem with it

btw i just noticed that was my 200th post. yay for me

Yeah, they can change with the market. I'm sorry, but to me a band that only last a year or two, doesn't make hardly anything, and doesn't sell many records at all, but they play what they want and play music that means something to them, that really says something. Not some noise machine that plays such watered down products that everyone can buy in.

so you think that crappy bands aren't out there for money and have altruistic motives when writing music? it's the other way around man. the recording industry nowadays is out of control. you are actually saying that u2, rolling stones pink floyd, grateful dead, beatles are noise machines? wow you listen to some crap music. it's all about personal preference i guess. all the haters will eventually pay hommage and realize the greatness of said bands, i can only hope it's sooner rather than later

I am saying the record industry is out of control. That was my whole point. It is the underground bands that are making the good stuff nowadays. And those bands tend to fit in with the more cookie cutter mainstream bands than anything else. Everyone to their own, though.

Oh, I forgot. I hate a few more bands:

Grateful Dead
Phish
Govt. Mule
Widespread Panic

And all of that other hippie jam-band crap. It sucks. Badly.
