You might be on to something here with your selections. I was going to say Genesis.
Five bands that are (were) popular that you can't stand.

You do realize the best Genesis music was before Steve Hackett and Peter Gabriel left the band, lets say before 1980?
Duke album released in 1980 had the last remnants of the old Genesis but unfortunately included the influence of Phil’s writing.
Doesn’t matter. The Genesis music that I know and have heard was Phil Collins Genesis and it blows.
Wow, this is pretty depressing. I would never put seriously good musicians on this list even if I did not like their music. Yes, Rush, Pink Floyd, LZ? The Grateful Dead has some awesome song-writing even if you can't stand the singing and noodling. I am fine with people putting Phish because they can't sing or write songs. Personally I love some of their jams and their complete commitment to weirdness (why I also love Zappa) plus they never sold many albums. Truly, this list should belong to groups who can't sing really, can't write decent lyrics, not genre defining, not great musicians, and (most importantly) take themselves seriously because they have millions of sold records.
1. Kiss

Thanks for the reminder ... Def Leppard (not "Def Leopard") was my favorite band as a pre-teen, so I just put some "Stagefright" on, and I'll follow that up with "Let It Go" and "Saturday Night." If you don't like those songs, you're not human.
Cool woman ... cool eyes ... you got me ... hypnotized ... so head down ... get rhythm ... stop your stalling ... and your bitchin ... I'm rock steady ... still shaking ... I'm ready ... for the takin ... so make your move ... make me .... and get ready for ... the big C ... let it rock, let it roll, let it go
Nothing but class there ...
For me. I love every college band; in particular, the Texas A&M band and their precision marching patterns. Here’s to college bands.
Wow...I’ve seen The Clash and Queen mentioned. Wow. Both are in my top 5 bands I’d want to see live if I could.
- The Beatles
- Pink Floyd
- Led Zepplin
- Grateful Dead
- Michael Jackson
I may have misunderstood. Was your point that Genesis sucks? If so, we agree.
mrtailgate, I would love to see your list of the top 5 bands, please enlighten us.
Was a great album. High N Dry was a great song too.
Saturday, I feel right, I've been drinking all day...
Used to really like Bringig' on the heartbreak as well, until it was rediscovered and played non-stop. Then the other albums came. It's funny seeing them live on TV, the guitar player acts like he is rocking out playing one note every 3 seconds or so.
Def Leppard is the best five man nine arm band in history.
The only thing this thread proves is that music is personal.
Rush- sorry, I just can't stand Geddy Lee's voice
Nirvana- Smells Like Teen Spirit? Smells like shit to me. I get better melodies when I throw my guitar down the stairs
U2- Just never got it.
REM- every one of their songs sounds exactly the same to me
Yes- every one of their songs sounds exactly the same to me
Honorable mention- any band formed after about 1997

I agree with you on Steely Dan. Basically 2 guys with interchangeable parts. All the interchangeable parts are always A-1. Simply brilliant and unique. They're my 2nd favorite. But my all time favorite is Chicago that is completely different than Steely Dan but equally brilliant. These 2 are heads above all other bands.
1. Bon Jovi - I’m a Jersey native,and I wish they weren’t
2. Styx - effeminate and lame
3. Supertramp - the no doubt worst popular group ever
4. Bee Gees - disco and all of its progeny should be eradicated off the face of the earth
5. Moody Blues, Steely Dan, and the Doobie Brothers (tie). What the H style were they? Pretentious overwrought crap endlessly vomited until my ears bleed.
Why? As someone pointed out, this thread is almost like debating your favorite color.
Take it from somebody who has been singing and playing instruments for 45 years.... there's not much new under the sun. A lot of songs are pretty much a I-V-vi-IV progression- I can play a Beatles song and a Lady Gaga song using the Exact. Same. Chords. I could make the Lady Gaga song sound like the Beatles and the Beatles song sound like Lady Gaga (ok, bad example, I can't sing like Lady Gaga
)Just sing it louder, or softer, or slower, or faster. Scream the lyrics (Nirvana), whine the lyrics (REM). Coax the chords from the guitar (Traveling Wilburys), beat the chords from the guitar (ACDC). Make the guitars sound like a buzz saw with lots of fuzz and effects pedals (any heavy metal band) or make them sound like the guitars themselves sound without effects (The Beach Boys).
None of it is wrong it's all just personal taste.
1. Gary Lewis and the Playboys
2. The Archies
3. Tommy James and the Shondells
4. The Grass Roots
5. The Guess Who

You may not like their music which I don't..but Steve Perry is perhaps top 2-3 in terms of greatest pure rock voices, up there with Freddie Mercury. Neal Schon was found by Santana at 17 and played in his band. Steve Smith is widely regarded as one of most gifted and versatile drummers in history, particularly by his peers. The fact is that Journey was a supergroup of elite musicians who wanted to make alot of money and they did.
Bee Gees
Bruce Springsteen
Any Hair Band
Any Metal Band
All Grunge Band except Soundgarden for some reason I like them.
True but The Stanford Band is a bunch of Dbags and The USC band is a bunch of entitled DBags.
