Neil Young, John Fogerty, or Billy Corgan again.
I hate the whiney singers. But then again, I'm a total hypocrite, as I'm a big Dave Matthews fan. Like almost to Dave Matthews Band sweatpants fan.
Many of my western friends thought I was crazy not listening to Neil Young, but where I grew up in the south.......let's just say I didn't even HEAR a Neil Young song until I was 24. Hopefully, I'm redeemed of any potential stereotypes because I can't stand John Fogerty's voice, either.
soulja boy
that cyclone song
any of this new country crap that thinks any play on words makes a good song. It's really just annoying.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds / Grinderman (sorry guys, I gave him a chance... just not for me).
AC/DC
Nirvana
Steve Miller Band
Van Morrison (Brown Eyed Girl specifically)
Creed
Nickelback
Thinking outside the box:
McDonald's radio commercials
Political smear campaigns
My wife bitching at me about something.

WTF? I still have their 8 tracks!!Quote:

That's what I mean... not that their songs are BAD, just WAAAAY overplayed.
I could go forever without hearing Stairway to Heaven, also.

David Grohl is a badass though.. so I guess SOME good came from them.
You are more than welcome to listen to your hearts content. :smiley2:
That's the one that immediately came to mind for me. Nothing wrong with the song per se, but I have heard it soooo many times. I hope I never feel that way about smoking Padron's. :smiley1:Quote:

- Geddy Lee's 'singing' voice always caused me to break out in hives.
See.. now I LOVE Rush, (early Rush, anyways), and I like Geddy's voice!
I thought they were one of Canada's national treasures :smiley36:
Let's leave Neil Young out of this. Please!
I could go the rest of my life without hearing:
Creed (especially Creed)
Nickelback
Staind
Sugarland
Aiden
My Chemical Romance
Dresden Dolls
Fall out Boy
Panic at the Disco
Blink 182
Dashboard Confessional (drama queens)
and pretty much anything new/fake punk, sappy pop country, "emo" or otherwise lacking some substance
I like Rush - local band that made good. Not really sure why they got sooo big worldwide. Then again, I say the same thing about Bryan Adams. I kinda lost interest in Rush after the Massey Hall concert ("All the World's a Stage"). I actually started working at Massey Hall a couple months after; worked there for years before I left Toronto.Quote:

Yeah, some of his early stuff can be whiney, but it's good acoustic guitar work and not your usual dumbed down lyrics. You should give a listen to his band before Dashboard, Further Seems Forever. Now THAT was good stuff and possibly and even better drummer.
Ok, let's see if I can come up with a couple.
AC/DC
Kid Rock
Nickleback
Bright Eyes
Green day
Tom Waits
Pretty much any 'rock' played on the radio.
Any new country. It's thoughtless garbage.
Radiohead
Buckcherry
Pink
Guns n Roses
Disturbed
Linkin' Park
3 Doors Down
Hinder
NIN
Metallica
Bon Jovi
Pink Floyd
Marliyn Manson - and pretty much anyone who listens to him.
But what do my answers matter? I have every cd of Kidz Bop and listen to it regularly. Yes, even the Halloween cd. If you haven't I would suggest you give it a try. Seriously.
Fair enough, Chris. I will give the Further Seems Forever a shot.Quote:

I'm also suprise that some of the usual suspects aren't on anyones list ie. Britney Spears, Timberlake, New Kids, Backstreet Boys and such.
Ya, I just can't stomach those types of bands.Quote:

I like Justin Timberlake.
He's the new Michael Jackson!:smiley36:Quote:

I like what I like. What can I say?
Celin Dion.... make her go way.
Van Morrison.
Makes ya want to do a Kurt Cobain.
Miley Cyrus/ Hanna Montana - Whoever the hell she is. I say she's too young for an identity crisis, but what do I know?
Green Day
Bon Jovi
Duran Duran
Nickelback
Three Day's Grace
