my vote is for Kid Rock, I can’t stand him or his music, plus he ripped part of american badass off of Metallica’s sad but true…
Michael Jackson…shudder it makes me nauseous justto type it’s name.
Smashing Pumpkins. Pretentious whiny self absorbed claptrap
The success of Third Eye Blind puzzles me to no end. How can anyone like that drivel?
“Can I GRAAAduAAAATE!!!” ::vomits::
It doesn’t help that they’re from the Bay area, so we get to hear their craptacular crapriffic crapfest over and over and over again. Every time I hear that “Semi charmed” song, I hover over the radio station button, so I can sing along while changing stations: “Good-byyyyyyyyyyye!”
As for old school, I’m amazed nobody brought these guys up yet, but I have hated The Eagles ever since I can remember. Has a shittier band ever received more airtime, to this day, than them? I defy anyone to spend an afternoon listening to any Classic Rock station w/o being subjected to their shit at least once.
Limp Bizkit and Eminem - any more of their white, upper-class hatred of everything and terrible, meaningless lyrics that a drugged coelocanth could improve upon, and I’ll go mad.
Despite liking a few songs of Metallica, I still am mildly annoyed at them. Metallica bad.
Oasis. I am certain they provide the soundtrack for hell.
I’m surprised nobody’s mentioned The Smiths, even though I like them.
I myself cannot stand Placebo. I also hate anything Queen did after The Works (inclusive).
I will throw a claw hammer at my TV rather than see or listen to Gerri Halliwell (ex Spice Girls).
Smashmouth, XXXX nnn (where X is a word and nnn is a number like “Blink 182” and “Matchbox 20”), Smashmouth, The Eagles, Limp Bizkit, Smashmouth, Oasis, Smashmouth, and Smashmouth.
And Smashmouth.
There are plenty on my list, but taking up numbers 1-25 are CREED. My goodness how I hate them. Or him, really.
But how do you feel about Smashmouth, Solomon?
Jackson Five?
WOW! i thought this would be a slam dunk, then i started to read everyone else’s answers and i kept changing mine! too hard, can’t do it! i think Oldman’sCrank got it right however. this is really a 2 part question.
as for me, what the hell, i’ll jump in!
U2-shut up! i dont care what you think!
REM- see above, and maybe try some rock n roll like you used to do, ummkay?
Aerosmith- lets get back on the drugs, boys, your music has sucked since “Toys in the Attic”
Guns n Roses- pompus shit after the first album
Springsteen- (quickly reconsiders) not bad enough for this list, never mind!
Def Leopard- one arm drummer? come on! why not just take half the fucking strings off the guitar?
there is a bunch more, but i’ll stop! (i refuse to even mention that former black homosexual-pedophile)
Rush and the Beatles?
I’d rather take a dental drill in my ear canal than listen to most ska-core acts. RATM gives me a migraine, and I don’t get migraines.
Chris Cornell. Creed (glad I’m not the only one). John Lydon. Julianna Hatfield. That awful singer-songwriter whose song about how dreadful it is to be a hero… But the greatest all-time musical travesty would have to be…
[portentious snare drum roll]
Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship
[rim shot]
Yep, I know the original incarnation had a couple of decent hits, but the subnuclear-plasma-of-sheer-awfulness that defined the later work warps the space/time continuum, springs back to 1967, and blights the original lineup as well. Bleccch.
But as bad as they were, no one artist is half as annoying as the current evil marketing trend in modern radio to keep playing the same list of 40/60/80 songs over and over and over… IMHO. [/rant]
Hmmmm… okay, them too. And let me throw in Smashmouth, while I’m at it.
And who sings “What if God was one of us?” Her. And Alanis Morissette, but I just assumed that was a given.
I hadn’t thought of including them in my first post, but what the hell. Throw them on the pile, along with SevenMary Three and Non-Blondes, Four.
But hopefully not Ben Fold’s Five.
Joan Osborne.
Damn Scrivner, your station plays60/80 different songs? Our rock station here plays the same 20 or so over and over (Colorado Springs). That fuckin Nickleback song is played at least once every hour and a half or so.
I piss on KILO Colorado
Whoever the hell sings that “click click BOOM” song. Good Lord kids, how the hell can you listen to that crap? And arent them and every band like them (linkin park, staind, creed, ummmmm I dunno) the same band? Like Skid Row, Motley Crue, Cinderella were in their day. Don’t worry though real bands will return soon with the rebirth of proper punk. Wait, no it wont, its allready been basterdized(?) with Blink 182, SR71, and whoever else is ruining what people think of as “punk”. Anyway, on to the list.
Creed
Limp Bizcuit
Kid Rock
Mettalica
Staind
Pearl Jam (because they are the reason “modern rock” is the way it is)
Pretty much everything else my gf makes me sleep too. And with mp3’s off my own computer no less.
dead0man
Oh, yeah. The pride of Louisville, KY. :rolleyes:
Well, Anchorage, KY. Which is a suburb of Louisville. Not much misical talent at all. I’d do her, but that’s it.
[big, ugly ranting hijack/]
Actually, Phlip, my local Jersey Shore modern rock station seems to play about 60 different songs, max. But a Rolling Stone article from about a year ago gave the rundown on Evil Marketing Practices And Playlists In Radio Today, and it’s horrifying. Central corporate offices in places like Hayseed, Missouri, from which overpaid Payola masters call upon stations around the country, solicit feedback, and enforce the mega-corporate line on “who’s hot, with a bullet”. (Guess where I’d like to put that bullet?)
According to the article, many stations have got it whittled down, scientifically, to a core of 40 market-tested “currents” [the ones that are played in virtually every DJ’s set] and 20-40 other songs to add a smidgen of “variety”. So what you get is the same one of two Dave Matthews Band songs alternating every two or three hours, and once every 6-8 hours you may hear, say, a Talking Heads song. Only, that TH song will invariably be “Once in a Lifetime” [since 9-11, no “Burning Down the House”] – no matter that there’s a dozen other great Heads songs to choose from. Hrmmmph. Some variety.
The currents are not ALL bad, of course, and some of these songs have tremendous staying power. Well, natch. It’s not like they’re seeing much competition, given that the typical rock station only introduces 1-2 new songs to the currents list every week! The upshot is that even the worst dreck, once it’s heavily pushed by its major label and lands on a list – even just one or two nationally-influential stations’ lists – is basically in like Flynn, and is guaranteed to sell well, see tour support, and thus “justify” the marketing machine that placed it on the lists in the first place.
Another result of this is the tragic undermining of most musicians’ careers and the undermining of an entire generation’s exposure to the musical smorgasbord that’s out there. As casual music fans come to hear less and less variety, they may become less discriminating consumers, and the cycle becomes all the more entrenched.
But don’t get me started… :rolleyes: [ranting hijack/]
RATM is one but let me add…
The Offspring
Putrid crap. (No, that isn’t another band, that is my assessment of The Offspring)
