I absolutely f***ing hate Bjork/Bjørk. I don't understand a damn word that suicidal Icelandic "songstress" sings. She has been in music videos people think is art, but I would rather stare at a wall for an hour than look at those shitty videos.

I feel sorry for anybody who has paid for anything which has Bjork on it.

Linkin Park. Nickelback. Celine Dion. Toby Keith.

 

 

I'm betting Creed and Good Charlotte split the vote here...All I can say is that at least Creed puts on a GREAT show with their generic power rock shit...Good Charlotte doesn't make the list simply because Benjy and Joel still openly pimp great REAL punk bands all the time

I'll defend Bjork even though you won't care, since this is about loathing. Her first three albums are delightful, with Homogenic especially often pushing great. In a time when too many singer-songwriter chicks were doing the boring/dull/most of Sarah McLachlan's catalog thing, she kept her music interesting, experimental, and crazy-as-fuck from track to track. I even like some of the songs off Vespertine, even if it does feel dry by her standards. I don't get your suicidal criticism. I'd call her songs - especially lyrically - far more uplifting than that of her peers. "It's Oh So Quiet" and "Joga" don't scream put-your-head-in-the-oven to me.

 

Understandably, a lot of people do go through a "Jesus Christ I'm going to murder Bjork period" because she's so unique and occasionally abrasive, but I at least tend to come out of those times pretty quickly. Now, if you actually can't understand what she's saying, please buy a Nickelback album. They're very clear. If you just hate her warble, that's another thing.

 

There are a lot of easy targets for my own loathed band, but I'll try to keep it semi-challenging and go with Metallica.

 

 

Okay, I lied about the challenging part.

Van Halen: The Roth era is tolerable for short periods.

P-diddy: pure trash, but he is a good bitness man

95% of that light grunge crap(goo goo dolls etc.) that was all over the radio after grunge died

Nelly: annoying and cheesy

Clay Aiken: fuck you and your lame song

95% of metal with high pitched screeching vocals(dio, helloween etc.)

Tobey Keith

Madonna: She wasn't so bad in the late 80's/early 90's, but since then she's been intolerable

90% of hair metal

Aerosmith: From the last 15 years, but I like their earlier stuff.

KISS: I like 6 songs, but other than that fuck KISS. They are a drum machine away from being Disco...not that there's anything wrong with that.

From what I can tell I've got some of the broadest musical tastes here, and the bands I hate, almost without fail, start to grow on me after a while. But as of right now... Lenny Kravitz. And I can't really tell you why.

 

edit: And Led Zeppelin, but it woud be less if they weren't so well respected.

Graves-era Misfits

 

Good call.

 

I want to spite Uncle Kracker with acid and thorns.

Two years ago Dave Matthews would of been on my list. I always thought that band was talented, but they annoyed me to all Hell. However, since pop punk, nu-metal and emo hit big it made me respect Dave & the band a ton more for their musicianship.

 

The band I hate more then anyone is Rancid.

There's actually too many to name, so I'm just going to name the first 10 that come to mind:

 

Eminem

50 Cent

Kid Rock

Tool

Rage against the Machine

Limp Bizkit

Linkin Park

Aerosmith

Madonna

Britney Spears

Why do you hate Tool, of all bands? I think they're one of, if not the best act going today.

I would say Limp Bizkit, but they're so far off the radar now.

 

Madonna is pretty much getting by on her name alone now. I was never a fan of hers, but I could at least understand why her early stuff was popular...but her recient stuff is shit.

 

Metallica for the obvious crybaby millionair reasons.

 

Also not that they're musicians, but Juggalos, and most metalheads who take the "this is the music that is great and yours is shit" stance.

To be 100% honest, I really haven't given them a fair chance to win me over. But when I first went out to Colorado I became friends with some kids that were big Tool fans, and when I told them that I wasn't a fan of the band, they played me a few songs. And I just wasn't overly impressed, and thought that they were pretty overrated. So, now I hear people raving about the band so much, it's pushed me from being apathetic about the band to disliking them.

 

They'd normally not be a "Most hated band" candidate, but they are a band that I refuse to listen to when in the car, or when at someone's house or whatnot, and were a band that came to mind when I sat down to type my response. I just as easily could have put Nirvana or the Grateful Dead or Macy Gray in that spot.

The evolution of Tool's albums is stupendous, though. A high-energy short and to the point rock EP for starters, then into a dark gloomy sort of atmosphere with Undertow. That whole album has this wonderful murky quality to it, which isn't overly heavy, but is by no means mellow.

 

Then they just went batshit with Aenima, which was sort of a precursor to Lateralus, which I consider a goddamn masterpiece.

 

Literally every track on that album is great, even "Mantra" which just serves as a lead-in. That's a complaint I had with Aenima. The tracks like the scratched record hiss didn't need to be there before "46 & 2" at all. I thought they ("Ions," "Intermission," the track with the baby crying I can never remember the title to..) broke up the great flow that album could've had.

 

Anyway, Lateralus has no wasted motion at all. I can't listen to a single track off of it unless I listen to the whole thing, generally. It's like one large continuous piece of music, with a few song breaks. I love how they go all King Crimson and put a gorgeous instrumental towards the end with the Disposition/Reflection/Triad suite. Awesome way to end an album.

 

I friggin' love Tool, and you'd be well-served to give them a second shot, even if the people and hype you associate with them is annoying. I feel the exact same way about Iron Maiden as you do Tool.

 

Anything by them is good, really. My favorite tracks are probably "Opiate," "Swamp Song," "Third Eye," and "Ticks and Leeches" if I had to pick one from each cd.
