U2

David Bowie

Pfffffff......come off it!

I hate Evanescence with a passion.

I hate many of those other Hot Topic/mall-rock bands...

All-American Rejects, 30 Seconds to Mars, Alien Ant Farm, etc.

Creed and Nickelback are hideous.

Most country I can't stand, especially Taylor Swift.

Most current Top 40 is utter crap.

*** The Evil Troika ***

Natalie Merchant

Ani DiFranco

Jewel

Green Day and Weezer: some good tunes here and there, but WAY overrated.

Most lo-fi Indie crap. Forlorn strumming and rambling, atonal lyrics recorded in some dorm-room by a stoner and his friends? Pffft.

(not that there's anything wrong w/ being a stoner, per se....)

Korn and Limp Bizkit. Pure awfulness.

Staind.

Natalie Merchant

Jewel

I was with you, until this: you got something against sweet voices?

Jewels' Pieces Of You is fantastic, especially so considering she wrote all the songs and was only 19 at the time, granted she went off the rails after that, but then Alanis hasn't done shit of note since Jagged Little Pill. It's a very moving album, the sweeping melodies combined with the childlike, sometimes operatic voice makes it sound heavenly.

Natalie Merchant's career hasn't produced a solid album imo, but she's a good, consistent songwriter with a lovely voice. Whassa matter with you guv!

Just a personal reaction to their voices. Jewel just oozes whininess and over-emotes, IMHO. Natalie has always struck me as hideously pretentious and her voice just leaves me cold. I'm sure they're both very talented, but... for some reason they rub me the wrong way. One of those totally illogical perfsonal preference things.

It's annoyed me to hear how crap Jewel later became, and NM had that song about River Phoenix which was a bit pretentious if she didn't know him.

Huge list , but to name a few, ..

Justin Timberlake

Usher

All current boy/girl bands & manufactured pop

Nickelback fuckin suck ass

Kenny rogers

Basement Jaxx are fucking awful

Cher

Poison

Coldplay are DIRE

Razorlight are fucking dreadful

Will Young sounds like a drunk cat being strangled

Robbie Williams is overrated & talentless

U2 are overrated, although i'll give them credit for Achtung Baby, that was a good album

Kings of Leon are pretty crap too

Never was a huge fan of The Beatles

Jay Z is an overrated fat prick.

high school musical and all that is fine for kids you know, and some of the clearly throwaway pop that young kids like is fine for them.

Add to that list GaGa and Lil Wayne and Beyonce then we have ourselves a list.

Taylor Swift... People tell me she's such a nice, sweet innocent little girl who sings sweet, nice songs..well guess what-- I still don't like her.

It was nice for a while but then she sings about the damn same boyfriend, the damn same love life-- sooner or later, she needs to release something to prove that she's more than just a teen singer. I swear. I can't believe her critics praise her to high ends.

Also, how many boyfriend did this girl have already? Yet she's stil Ms Innocent. Okay... >.>

Taio Cruz.... I dislike his dynamite song!

Other wannabe R&B singers that are sprouting nowadays. I don't know their names but they all look the same.

Justin Bieber... >.> He seems like a decent kid but his music sucks!

Lady Gaga... I admit she has talent but I can't stand her... I have a love/hate relationship with her... Her personality and over the top outfits is just too much. Trying hard much?

Jay Z... I think Kanye is better than this so called King of Hip Hop.

T-Pain... Aptly named because his music causes pain to whoever hears it.

Soulja Boy... Nough' said.

Nicki Minaj... Cute personality but I still can't understand the hype.

Lil Wayne... >.>

I thunk that's it. I'm sure there's more but I can't remember right now. I'm only naming the current artists of today.

50-Cent

Anyone mentioned him yet?

but not lady gaga (she can sing,she writes her own stuff which is half decent, she is a skilled keyboard player and she is interesting...better than 99% of whats in the charts )

I didn't know she had any musical ability whatsoever, besides the singing, but what irks me about her is what I percieve to be forced eccentricity, she's no Bjork.

She dares to be different which is at least more than most. Pop music is dead anyway.

maybe it is forced...you need some sort of gimmick when trying to break the mass market ... but she has talent to back it up...most decent artists have aknowledged her talent...she is certainly the best of the chart music at present...

right ....i am shutting this thread down...someone has mentioned david bowie ? and the beatles ?? have also been mentioned....lock please mod...

' i had to google dobber ' nice one dewrede....emm...well mccartney can come over as a bit smarmy sometimes...lets be honest, he wasnt the 'cool' one in the beatles, was he , as brilliant as he was in the beatles (and band on the run was a great album)..he did have a tendency to write granny music and some utter crap ...particuarly after leaving ze beatles...but he is one of the greats..no doubt

i don't think he's smarmy ; he doesn't seem arrogant or self indulgent to me

he comes off as a likable guy imo

(i have to admit i only saw him on tv a few times)

are you serious ?

just turn on the radio - whether it be top 40, alternative or shit hop - imho - pretty much everything I hear is pure crap.

Nearly everything on the charts, but breaking it down

All rappers/shit hoppers, any other male who refers to women as hoes and bitches (Except Knaye West)

Lil Jon/Lil Wayne/ Lil or Young anyone and people with alphabet names like T.I. and anyone period

Nu soul singers that are really rappers in disguise like Neyo, usher, damye, shaniqua johnson types.

Female singers that are acting like hoes eg Mariah Carey (Shes 40!!!!), Kesha, Tamia, Eve etc

Justin Beiber

Kesha

Pussy cat Dolls

Atomic Kittens

Black Eyed Peas (Wow they have got bad lately)

R Kelly

India Arie

Nu Metal groups

Nickelback

Muse

Cold Play

All types of Idol/X factor/ Manufactured acts

Disney Artists like Miley and Jonas Brothers

Thats just about everyone

All thats left I like

Prince

Madonna

Bowie

Elton John

Pink Floyd

Kanye West

Lady Gaga

Yeah I know I popped a mini hissy fit myself, when I thought they meant the lizard king...

than I remembered the other asshole...

I'm still questioning the Buckley comment...

Better not be Jeff Buckley...

The majority of the artists mentioned in Music: Non-Prince. If I was American I'm sure I'd like them but being European I have far greater taste.

Anything usually on MTV too. As soon as I see some black/Asian guy start strutting and rapping a little bit of me dies. It's shit. Stop it.

Stone Roses!? With one of the best guitarists around!? Jeez.

How about Mika? Fucking annoying and gives gay men a bad image.
