Only 10? WOW, there is so much shit out there it's gonna be hard but I will start with the ones who are supposedly real bands.
Dave Matthews
Limp Bizkit
Papa Roach
Linkin Park
Sum 41
Alien Ant Farm
Korn
System of a Down
Slipknot
Godsmack


NOT real bands but suck just the same
Destiny's Child
N'SUCK
Backstreet Boys
O Town
Britney
Christina
Mandy Moore
Ricky Martin
Mariah Carey
Jennifer Lopez

I do not hate:
CREED. WHY are they so bashed? At least they are one of the few bands out there carrying on the rock tradition. Scott Stapp is hot and reminds me of JT Bono with his long luxurious locks, sleeveless arms and tight pants baby!
INCUBUS. These guys are good and Brandon is hot.
NICKELBACK. These guys are actually a rock band of the purest and best sense. The songs I hear by them are the only things out there that sound like classic rock the way it was meant to be played.

Hmmmmm...I hate all the "bands" on everyone's list but I'd just like to add one.

Drowning Pool.....bleeeeeeecccccchhhhhh!

The first time I heard their song "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" I started laughing because I thought it was just a parody of all the other nu-metal bands that have come out recently. He sounds like the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street.

I think it is bands like this that Bono was referring to when he said:

"Real violence now is just a blunder away for everybody. A whole core of a city can be taken out by a suitcase filled with some dirty nuclear bomb. That makes the sort of suburban angst that has been such a big part of rock lately seem like something pretty small?the guy who is saying, "I'm so angry with the world that I'm going to hurt myself." It's enough to make you laugh. The stakes are much higher now."

The JT Bono look is very calculated on Stapp's part - he has admitted in the past of being a U2 Freak - and not that there's anything wrong with being a big fan - but he is blatantly copying JT Bono and it's terribly pretentious and unoriginal of Stapp to do so.

I don't like them because I find them grandiose and extremely pretentious and disingenuous. Stapp is a real egomaniac asshole in real life - and as I've said before - I live in the town where they got started and he was an asshole then just like he is now - when he comes back into town he parades himself through the bars that helped launch their career but is too good to talk to old friends and treats bartenders and waitresses like they are dogcrap. He has a real ego/attitude problem.

someone needs to copy unforgettable fire bono. i'd love to see the mullet brought back to the mainstream.

The more of these I drink the more Bono makes sense.. - Bean from the KROQ Breakfast with U2.
 
Yeah Stapp can be rude.. he came through my neighborhood to the golf course once and was a dick to the pro shop people--but I've told this story numerous times... wow this forum turns to U2 VS Creed fans an awful lot!

I hearby ammend my list to include Radiohead, not because I truly hate them, nor do I think they make poor quality music by any means, but merely for spite and to get more people posting in this thread.
 
I don't count "boy bands" because they aren't bands...here goes

Fuel
Lifehouse
Limp Bizkit
Eagles (I respect 'em, but don't like 'em)
Henry Rollins Band (and not just cuz he's jealous of Bono)
3 Doors Down
Motley Crue
Mudvayne
Rush (Geddy Lee = sodomized Chihuahua)
Prairie Fire (Don't ask)
 
in no particular order:

Blink 182 (there's nothing more pathetic than "adults" insisting on acting like kids. also, breaking instruments on stage is such a cliche)

Nu-metal - no, it's NOT rock (Limp Bizkit, Korn, Slipknot...you hear one song and you heard them all. Way to go to copying what Faith no more did better years ago)

Creed (i don't see how "my sacrifice" is any different than any other previous)

Staind (bad music, bad singer)

Alien ant farm (oh please...)

Rappers (can you say "ego issue"? At this rate, the TVs may explode due to all that showing off. not to mention how they portray women in the videos)

Marilyn Manson (freak. need i say any more?)

HOW ANYONE OVER 15 CAN SERIOUSLY LIKE ANY OF THE ABOVE IS BEYOND ME.

As for boybands, Britneys etc... i don't care about those, i'm indifferent.

"We feel like this is unfinished business - there's things for us left to do and that's why we still do it." - Larry

"For us, each night on stage has to be like the last night on earth. That's the way our band operates-we can't play the songs unless we're fully into them." - Bono

"The music itself will tell you where to go." - Edge (about recording)

"It's an elevation thing." - Adam (when asked why there's pictures from airport on ATYCLB cover)

I've loved Marilyn Manson since their inception in the late 80s in South Florida.
I am 24, and doubt I am so "beyond" you.
If you don't like them, fine, but don't insult me because of it.

Haha! I was fully expecting to get torn to shreds for putting them in, things like "feck sake, yer Irish, support the homegrown artists will ya?!" Thanks for agreeing with me Angel, and I apologise on behalf of my country for allowing such paddywhackers as them, kissing th blarney as much as they can, to escape onto the world market. For those who succumb to their jolly shamrock goodness, wake up outta yer stupidity!! Go look for good irish bands like the Frames and Ash and Relish!

The Corrs are nothin but malnourished, skanky pop dross, and they have a greatest hits album out!
biggrin.gif
Same song remixed 20 times no doubt!

Yes, I dislike the corrs
 
1. Matchbox 20 (not 'bad', just mediocre, which is worse)
2. Live (ditto)
3. Blink 182
4. Grinspoon (Australian outfit)
5. Green Day (see No. 1)
6. Bush (bit of an easy target)
7. I'd list Britney but have honestly never heard any of her music.
8. Robbie Williams (not a band technically - but very very bad)
9. Pantera (so bad they're almost good)
10. Celine Dion (I assume she has a backing band of some kind)
 
Many of you base your hatred of many of these bands on the one thing that you believe made them famous - image.

Scrap away image and here is what you are left with:

* Christina Aguilera has a great voice.
* Britney Spears sings very catchy tunes.
* Limp Bizkit are genuinely quite funny and know how to write good pop songs.
* Blink 182 are catchy too.
* Destiny's Child have both great voices and good tunes and are pretty funky.
* NSync's Pop was actually very good for that genre.

There are, however, many not so great artists out there.

* Westlife - possibly the most cynically marketed band of all time. Ballad, ballad, ballad, ballad, bollocks
* Shaggy - annoying voice, annoying tunes, and a cheat
* New-style Mariah Carey - no wonder she has gone mad
* Celine Dion - not great, simply grating
* Late Oasis - how can a band once so brilliant become so crap?
* Vengaboys - good grief
* Travis - two good songs does not a career make
* Jive Bunny - anyone English and alive around 1989-90 will join me in my hatred of this!

Image plays a part, granted - but often because it reflects the content. Although yes, image can and does get distorted and dumbed-down, as U2 know only too well.

Having said that, I think it's not so much what you've got as what you do with it. There are singers with amazing voices who piss it all away on hopeless material. And there are singers with ordinary or even bad voices who use them in ways that can make your hair stand on end. Although I'm not really a fan, I'd include Bob Dylan in this latter category.
