Neil Diamond, Bing Crosby, and all other crooners - I hate that shit to no end, and the voices behind them (ol' Frank is an exception, though).

The rest of my shit list has already been mentioned - no point in regurgitating.

Bono. Garrrrrrrgh, he annoys the piss out of me.

I love crooners! Especially Dean Martin... Anyway...

Let's not forget Gwen Stephani. That "Rich Girl" song is so bad, it makes me want to find a mob boss to put a contract out on her head.

Furtado. I think she has about one decent song per album, but she is hot and if I were single I'd bend her over every piece of furniture in my house.

For me it's the lead singer of Nickelback, Chad something or other, I don't know what the fuck his name is. Thankfully Nickelback will be all but forgotten within a few years. Unless they manage to write another album. Then I'm going to kill someone.

Kroeger, I think. Yeah-eah, yeah-eah, to the bottom of ev'ry bot'l. God, delete that moose-faced ugly wannabe Kurt Cobain from history, please.

I also loathe Macy Gray, she's just King Louie, really.

Dani Filth post Vempire, he moved away from deeper vocals and started that abominable screeching. Hate that screech with a fucking passion, though the instruments keep me listening.

Any pop punk.

Any emo.

Unlikely. Each of their albums are pretty much exactly the same as the last.

It was a close-run thing deciding whether to choose Missy Higgins or Nickelback- but in the end I went with the former- but fuck do I hate them too. That "I like your pants around your feet" song drives me up the wall, misreable shit-fuck gonzo-porn song.

Joe · Post by **Joe** » 2005-03-22 11:43pm

All of these artists' songs annoy me, but I'll pick out the ones I hate most so I can elaborate.

Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back. I fucking hated this song the first time I heard it and I fucking hate it after hearing it several thousand times. One of the reasons I don't like dance clubs or parties. One day, someone's going to play this song and I'm going to point a pistol to my head and threaten to blow my goddamn brains out unless they turn it off. I'm serious.

Gretchen Wilson - Redneck Woman. I thought that no artist could singlehandedly capture everything that's wrong with this country and express it in their work, but damn if she didn't prove me wrong. I'd bang her like a screen door, though.

Creed - With Arms Wide Open. I am fully convinced that in 10 years, people will look back on Creed videos, specifically this one, and see them much the same way as we see Def Leppard videos today - absolutely, unintentionally, hilarious. This song in particular espouses everything that's wrong with Creed - the pompous religious posturing, the overblown power chord masturbation, and the massive overproduction with the strings in the background. Shit in every sense of the word.

Sex Pistols - Entire song catalog (except My Way). It's almost a cliche to bash the Sex Pistols for having no musical ability and terrible songs, but I'm going to do it anyway. They suck, and their music doesn't stand the test of time.

Kelis - Milkshake. No words are really necessary, are they?

Metallica - Entire song catalog. That's right, tell me to go fuck myself, Metallica fanboys! I feed off that shit. My hatred can only grow.

Greenday - Entire song catalog, though maybe I shouldn't be referring their songs as a "catalog" given how they all sound exactly the same. Oh, and Good Riddance is the worst song ever and if I happen to hear it at graduation you'll be hearing about it on the news, and not in a good way. That was sarcasm, in case someone actually takes what I just said seriously.

Lee Greenwood - God Bless the USA. I almost feel guilty, but this song is crap. Why do we embrace this turd to celebrate our great country with when we have powerful stuff like America the Beautiful (specifically Ray Charles' version, if you are an American and this can't get to you, I don't know what can), The Star-Spangled Banner, The Stars and Stripes Forever, and God Bless America that we can use instead?

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Most of their songs. John Fogerty's voice, man. It's not really a rational dislike but I can't get past it. I hate it.

Songs by bands that I otherwise like:

Led Zeppelin - Kashmir. Sorry Physical Graffiti fans, but punk music came along for many reasons. Kashmir is one of them.

Guns n' Roses - November Rain. Overproduced. Trite. Long as fuck. Blatantly attempts to manipulate your emotions, not always a bad thing but it fails miserably at it. What's not to hate?

Superman · Post by **Superman** » 2005-03-22 11:45pm

Blasphemer! CCR rocks! As does Greenday!

That's okay, to each their own.

Metallica! Yes! Thank you for saying it.

The milkshake song? The one with the indecipherable lyrics? "My milkshake is better than yours"? What the fuck does that mean?

Speaking as a fan of Metallica, James Hetfield can't sing for shit. He's particularly embarrassing when he sings live. Of course I use the term 'sing' in its broadest possible sense... He feels an overwhelming need to inject the words 'fucker' and 'motherfucker' into the lyrics every few seconds.

"A woman's body and the way she carries it," according to the Urban Dictionary. Retarded street slang, basically.

That's my problem, it's his voice. I can't get past it. And Lars Ulrich can't drum worth shit, either.

Stofsk · Post by **Stofsk** » 2005-03-23 01:02am

Lars also happens to be a tool.

I don't like the band for it's personality. They're fuckheads. I like listening to Call of Ctulu and Orion, because no one opens their goddamn mouth in it. 'Old Skool' is listenable. What they are now is an abomination...

Plus I hated their little crusade against Napster.

My for a fan of Metallica I certainly can bitch and moan about them.

And I second Zaia's pronouncement against Bono. It may actually be worth throwing him into the World Bank, just to prevent him from releasing another album.

Joe · Post by **Joe** » 2005-03-23 01:14am

Oh yeah, Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd also goes on my list. Maybe it's a Southern thing, but if you listen to the radio you cannot go ONE DAY without hearing this piece of shit.

HELL YEAH! That song drove me to the brink of insanity.

Dead_Ghost · Post by **Dead_Ghost** » 2005-03-23 07:16am

Macy Gray, Nelly, and Ozzy Osbourne. Everytime I hear a music from them, I just try to change it into anything else. I, simply, can't stand their voice.

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2005-03-23 08:33am

all of the clones

be it the premanufactured pop bands, the premanufactured country singers, the premanufctured rappers, what ever I hate every last one of the clones.

or basically I like any music as long as it conveys the emotion of the artist. The souless clone crap can give the RIAA and the record company's their much needed Gangrene

Damn near all male R&B singers piss the living hell out of me, but Nelly and Sean Paul I find particularly enraging.
I can't stand Good Charlotte, that 'I just wanna live' song is especially shit.

Singular Quartet · Post by **Singular Quartet** » 2005-03-23 03:37pm

Oooo... it's a thread to bitch and moan about music! YAY!

My personal hatred involves present bands, and there tendency to just recycle lyrics throughout a song. Like the band will make a chorus, but no lyrics to go between the repeats of the chorus. For examples: Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Tegan and Sarah's Walking with a Ghost. It sound's kinda nice if you're in the mood for musak, but you can't fucking listen to it.

Anyways, the singer I hate the most is the guy from Blink 182. The music sounds all right, but the guy's voice makes we want to hunt the little fuck down and strangle him/her/it.

There are lyrics between the chorus in that song:

Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Greenday wrote:
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

A better example would have been something like Danger! Danger! by Electric Six or Morning Afterglow by Electrasy

Joe · Post by **Joe** » 2005-03-23 07:05pm

Christ, Boulevard of Broken Dreams is actually the name of one of their songs? Oh, how the shitty to begin with have fallen...

You goddamn fucking bastard! I completely agree with you, you fucking fuck fuck! James' vocals piss me off, I've got no idea what key he's supposed to be singing in, maybe hyperactive enthused biker (just think of some biker who's really enthusiaastic about doing something, and saying "yee-ah! on the end of all his sentences). I never really thought his vox fit the style of the rest of the song, I reckon Robb Flynn from Machinehead would've been a far better vocalist for Metallica.

Ialso have a disdain for Metallica drumming (especially recently, oh godless, that toys r us kit for st anger was just unforgivable), though I think there's worse drumming out there. Lamb Of God's drumming, for instance, sounds like a guy poured hot wax all over his ass, then porceded to fart onto some greased paper on a flat surface.

I'm also getting really bored of all these metalcore bands that have the same vocalist, they all sound like the guy from Atreyu or Avenged Sevenfold...you know the one.... he sounds like he's trying to do something between emo and death metal, it's sort of a hurried growl going on "harsh" vocals.
