Band you can't stand

[Obliviax]

Yea Grateful Dead are interesting. I love Terrapin Station and it never leaves my rotation. I also like Blues for Allah. Mostly more their more trippy kind of stuff. Mostly I don't like their popular stuff and the stuff most Dead fans like.

Five Finger Death Punch
Killswitch Engage

 

[wex18]

REO Speedwagon
Supertramp

 

[TheGLOV]

Springsteen and The Stones, surest way to get me to change a station...

Stones are the greatest!!

 

[TheGLOV]

Bryan Adams
Some southern rock bands
Madonna
Jackson Browne

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Dead fans always use that fallback. Music should be able to stand on its own. If you need drugs to really appreciate the music, the music is lacking. Their “explorations” are drug-fueled wankery - sorry.

Two legendary bands are Creedence and The Band. They made you envision swamps, back road hollers, late night revival meetings, infantry maneuvers etc - but aside from Levon from Arkansas, they were from California or Canada. Now that is talent - putting you into another place, another time without the practical experience. You can listen to either of those bands stone cold sober and go on the “trip” with them.

It’s more than music, it’s an experience, all encompassing, full body.

Dave Matthews Band

I can't stand Dave Matthews. It is his voice, it grates on me. I know I'm in minority and I respect his talent. His voice is nails on chalkboard for me.

Sometime ago I saw a social media post that pretty well sums up my take on them. It was something to the effect of,

"Heard the Dave Matthews Band announced they'll be touring for the first time in over a year. I'll bet they're really excited to play that song."​

 

[STPGopherfan]

U2, Kings of Leon, Nickleback

Most of Canada agrees with you.

 

[fairgambit]

Beatles.

 

[STPGopherfan]

Hate is a strong word, these are talented lads... but I got so sick of hearing Mumford and Sons. Is there such a thing as too much banjo? Maybe.

Banjo? Yes. Cowbell? No!

 

[aferrelli]

Beatles.

Reread the post; they’re not looking for the greatest, most talented, most prolific band of all time. LOL

 

[BBrown]

Beatles.

You listen and watch Lawrence Welk, by default you don't get an opinion.

 

[TheGLOV]

Beatles.[/QUOTE

No bug music sir??

You feeling ok??

It’s more than music, it’s an experience, all encompassing, full body.

I honestly heard the following in 1997 while on a 3 month backpacking trip around Europe. It was at a pastry place only steps from an Amsterdam Coffee Shop where I had just partaken of their wares and was now enjoying the best blueberry muffin I had ever had. I was with 2 Kiwis who I had traveled with for a bit. At the table behind us were 4 skinny, goateed fellas smelling vaguely of patchouli oil and pretension. They were following the Grateful Dead-lite group Phish around the continent. Phish fans make the same arguments as Grateful Dead fans do about the experience And other claptrap.

Anyway, one of our pretentious, twee neighbors said using all his 19 year old wisdom - “Sometimes I feel the band with my body and sometimes I feel them with my mind. I’m waiting for the time when I feel them with my body ... and my mind”

Even stoned out of my mind, I will forever remember that comment as the silliest, most eye-rolling thing I’ve ever heard

 

[BrucePa]

Seals and Crofts

Eagles

Billy Joel

LMAO. Classic.

 

[bourbon n blues]

System Of A Down , Rage Against The Machine.

 

[Elwood Blues]

Springsteen and The Stones, surest way to get me to change a station...

You, sir, are obviously not a rock and roll fan. Bruce and the Stones ARE rock and roll.

 

[Tri-Power65]

Most of Canada agrees with you.

Most of the US too.

 

[ShoreLion85]

Super Tramp - without a doubt, the worst group ever;
Styx
Bee Gees
Bon Jovi ( and I’m from Jersey!)
Boston
Little River Band ( and my wife LOVES them - help!)
Steely Dan

 

[Lionguy32]

I'll add Tool to this list.

 

[BiochemPSU]

I know OP said band, but since Billy Joel and Madonna got thrown into this, Bryan Adams is #1 for me. Summer of '69 is the worst.

I will change the station (or skip on apple music) if the Stones, Rush, or Steppenwolf comes on (father-in law thinks he is easy rider; SPOILER: he isn't).

 

[Zenophile]

Beatles.

 

[Grant Green]

The Ramones. Garage band that should have stayed there.

 

[PSUcup1]

Counting Crows and Dave Matthews … cant stand whiny voices

 

[Chickenman Testa]

LMAO. Classic.

B - By the way, I can’t overstate how legendary that muffin was.

[CvilleLion]

Jethro Tull. One song and I'm good for a decade.

I mean, Bungle In The Jungle? WTF?

 

[Langmuir]

I don't really like Supertramp but it has a special place in my heart. Breakfast in America was the first album I ever owned. Before that, I always had to listen to my older siblings records. I think I got it for Christmas.

LOL. Call Bungle in the Jungle my guilty pleasure. I do like it.

Def Freeking Leopard.....................so was the producer on most of their albums. and seriously - a one armed drummer........

The Beatles were a boring, overproduced, boy band.
I realize that is an unpopular opinion, but I really don't give a shit. The Rolling Stones were/are better. I won't debate the matter. It is, after all, just opinion. Time to move on. I had a hard day's night and I need some rest.

 

[STPGopherfan]

Ted Nugent!

Damn. Checkout the street fighting man.

 

[odshowtime]

IT's nothing against the people. I'm simply discussing their music and how my head seemingly is ready to explode when they come on the radio. Moves like Jagger is arguably the worst song in the history of music.

Also, to the person who sent a cover of a Prince song, that's a Prince song.

LdN

I think he was helping my point that the guy is crazy talented but his band sucks ass.

are you the funniest MF on here lmao

 

[odshowtime]

Sorry, can't stand that whiny, smart-aleck, crybaby voice. Guitar work is awesome, songs are great. Just hate the lead singer's voice.

You have two to choose from.

I got kicked off the bonnaroo board for sharing this sentiment pre Paul 2013. My turncoat Son1 told me Paul was AMAZING.

I thought Supertramp was horrible but I found a copy of breakfast in America in my collection and it's really not bad. Side 1 is pretty awesome actually. Or maybe I'm just starved for good new music.

 

[Ward Hog]

No to all the hair bands, White Snake, Poison etc, not into Yes. Can't understand the Steely Dan hatred, but that's what makes the world a unique place. Not all of us are lemmings, most, but not all.
