I’d rather eat my own poop than have to listen to Boston for more than two minutes at a sitting.
And I eat a LOT of corn.
The Bee Gees
The Troggs (for “Wild Thing” the monster that will not die)
The Moody Blues
Beatles
Rolling Stones
Led Zepplin
I simply cannot stand any of these bands.
Dude, I guess you never heard they split up? Zack (lead singer) is working on a solo project while the other three are teaming up with ex Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, and will go under a different name.
And are you calling the band a bunch of white kids or their fans? The lead singer was Latino, their lead guitarist is of mixed race (his uncle is Jomo Kenyatta, big politico in Kenya) and I think their drummer is half latino too (although I suspect I’m wrong). Only definite white boy was the bassist, Tim.
Bjork
She’s annoying and her music lacks anything approaching pleasingness. Now she’s acting, so I get to hate her even more. Really, just the sound of her voice or seeing her on TV, even on mute makes me physically repulsed and angry right to the core of my being.
R.E.M.
Could Michael Stipe sound any more whiney when he sings?
Not to mention the fact that he’s a completely pompous bastard. That final-stages-of-AIDS look he’s sporting ain’t too attractive, either.

Have we just witnessed the Board’s very first Pre-Post?
Anyway…
Hated bands: Rancid tops my list. Their music just sounds so friggin’ obnoxious. Is their lead singer named “Milquetoast” or something?
And I greatly disagree with the OP about Pink Floyd. In fact, I am now calling for a lynch mob to tar and feather Phlip for even suggesting that they are less-than-excellent.
3 way tie between Rod Steward, Phish, and The Steve Miller Band.
I agree with all of the posters that boy bands and the like are even worth hating - you gotta pick someone who has some respect…
My pick: The Doors
Jim Morrison represents everything that is wrong about a rock frontman: Pointless, navel-gazing, self-absorbed, held the audience in contempt - and the whole time, he was a hypocritical fraud. For every song that might be worthy of respect, he was willing to sell out and do “Hello, I Love You” or “Love Me Two Times” to stay on the teeny bopper charts. And “Riders on the Storm”? bad muzak.
I agree regarding Sting posts, too - pretentious silliness.
Acts I refuse to listen to on the radio: Rod Stewart and Steve Miller. Both have done some good stuff (Stewart with Jeff Beck and Python Lee Jackson and Miller with “Your Saving Grace” and “Living in the USA”), but you never hear it any more.
Creed
Phish
U2
Air Supply
REO Suckwagon

::Performing auto-CPR::
Springsteen - The phobia over this Fonzie just amazes me.
Def Leppard - They got the deaf right.
Duran Duran - To turn me against linen and sailboats you’ve got to be pretty freakin’ awful.
Toss-up between U-2 and the Beatles.
Oh, I cant beleive I forgot Limp Bizkit and Zep. The only thing by Zep that I like is Stairway, only because it was the first finger picking guitar song I ever learned.
Nothing to say about Limp Bizkit except that someone needs to pop Dursts inflated ego. He thinks hes the voice of a generation or some shit.
Oh, let’s see now…
Excluding all the teeny bopper crap, because I know we all hate that, I’d have to say Journey. Most overplayed and over rated classic band of all time.
As far as current music, I hate Creed. Man I hate God rock!
KORN
Most of the ones I can think of I hate not for the band but for their annoying, annoying fans. Those would be Radiohead, Rush, Pink Floyd, and basically any other band whose fans all believe that they are godhead, that every drop of music issued by them is pure, unrefined genius, and that anyone who doesn’t agree clearly knows nothing about music and is obviously a fan of Britney Spears or something like that instead. This is not the bands’ fault, of course, but having to listen to these people go orgasmic over this stuff makes me wish the bands didn’t exist.
Bands that I just plain hate? I dunno. Every time one pops in my head I can think of at least one song by them I don’t mind.
Oh, thanks, y’all. I knew I could count on you to remind me of hated bands. So I’ll add U2 and Limp Bizkit (argh!).
Cranky, I’m thinking this is supposed to be about their music, not so much their personalities. Although the OP doesn’t really say, so…
Oh, and Creaky and Tiki (hey, that rhymes!):
Hating the Beatles makes the baby Jesus cry. 
Oh, god, someone that I can relate to! Thank you, Bossk! I met Michael Stipe several years ago. I’ve never liked REM, but I was with a friend who loves them. And she drug me over to talk to him in his hometown of Athens, GA. He was standoffish, wouldn’t sign an autograph for her, etc. I got mad and told him off.
And I second the DMB, too.
I’ve always loathed Creed. They and there ilk are why anything resembling heavy rock and roll was banished from the radio in favor of bland pop music. Now I know this is a decision made in hell, but if you had to choose between the new Britney Spears and Creed’s special blend of thudding guitar and grunting vocals set to so called worship mode, I believe the sensible thing to do would be to kill yourself. Or stop listening to the radio. My hatred of Creed was exacerbated by the fact that my friend thought they were great, so I got to listen to them on the every time they came on.
But my most hated band has got to be Third Eye Blind. Sure “Semi-charmed Life” was appealing the first time I heard it, but not the third time. And definitely not the three hundredth. But wait, they followed this up with a steady stream of some of the most unappealing pop music singles derived by man. “I would understaaaa-AAAAAA-aaaaa-AAAAnd!” I don’t. Why are they so freakin’ popular? Don’t make me punch your throat! I also hate the band because of the lead singer. Picture the wankiest, most pretentious guy who let his one taste of fame go straight to his head, believing he has talent and is not, in fact, being carried by the meager talents of his band. Now put him in a meth-addict pretty-boy package that teenybopper girls go for, but everybody else, including grown women and young children, wants to punch. Top it off with a reedy voice and you’ve almost got the guy pictured.
I also dislike Sugar Ray, but they’ve never had any pretensions of being any good, so I just change the station without second thought.
