Subject: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
I didn't know where to put this, so here will do
What are some artists you hate, but shouldn't bassed on your likings of similar artists?
For example:
Led Zepplin - I like other classic rock bands, but for some reason I just can't stand them. I switch stations everytime one of thier songs is played
The Doors - Same as above
Barenaked Ladies - I like similar bands (Matchbox Twenty, Third eye Blind) but these guys I hate, don't know why.
anybody else?

Linkin Park - I want to break the radio...
Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
For some reason with me it is John Cougar Melloncamp (or as I call him Mellonhead). I don't know why. I do like a lot of his music though.

I can't say that I hate him, but I have never like Bruce Springsteen's music much.
I never liked REO Speddwagon either, I hate that guys voice.
I used to love the Police and the Doors but may buddies and I listened to them so much that I have to change stations when the come on.
Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
I can't say that I hate Eminem but I respect his music.
I liked some of his songs from his last album"Marshall Mathers".
howard ;D

Add Pink Floyd to the above list with the same reasons for all three and you get my list.

My best friend calls him the "UURR" man because of how he drags out and murders all words that end in 'er' or 're'

OMG I thought I was the only one who was "Supposed" to love these bands but really don't! While all 3 have songs I love....for the most part...ICK!

Im with you there. From day one I never much cared for John Cougar/John Cougar Mellencamp/John Mellencamp. He does in fact have a couple of songs that I like (Play Guitar, Wild Night, Pink Houses). But for every good song he puts out five lousy overplayed songs (Jack and Diane-boring, Cherry Bomb-lame, Small Town-gimme a break, Paper In Fire-tries to be serious but cant, Authority Song-tries to have an attitude like a country singer but cant, and about every other song he does is pretty much cookie cutter).
My second one is Night Ranger. Why did they try to have an image like a hair metal band when they were nothing more than polished pop? Practically everything they ever did fell short as good rock n' roll. No substance what so ever.
Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
I absolutely can't stand Elton John. I hate the way he enunciates when he sings, I hate the way he looks, I hate how he's friends with wacko's like Liz Taylor and Michael Jackson. I know he's popular and all, but I just can't take him!
Another one is Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20. The radio station I listen to in the morning overplays his solo stuff and the band's stuff to death, and his music was never my style to begin with. Plus, he's working that whole late 90's scruffy hair goatee'd/puka shell necklace thing, and he just skeeves me!
Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
Don't know if this qualifies as I only know I song...Chris DeBurgh and the song I despise the most is "Lady in Red"

Well, at least there are two of us. I thought I was the only one, too. :D

I hate Tweet but I respect her music because she is part of
the R&B category in some way.

me...
Selwyn=he's aussie
The vines=there's original & aussie
Alicia Keys=oh, one song's OK, but... nope. Something just went wrong when they released her songs Fallin, A Woman's Worth, and Ganster Lovin' (with Eve)
Red Hot Chili Peppers: hmm.... the rest can play, and they write some good songs, but the fact that they don't normally wear shirts and the vocalist is annoying...
Eminem: he's real, but he's a rapper who can't... put his lyrics to good use. If he gave them to me before he even tried to get a single here, yeah, I might have given him a second chance.
Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
Not only can I barely stand "Come On, Eileen" and whoever was the one-hit wonder group who released it, but I don't even remember being aware of the song back in the 80s, even though it's played to death on 80s stations.
Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
I can't believe John Cougar Mellencamp is being picked on. He's one of my favourites - along with Bruce Springsteen :(
Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
OK, see, this is going to sound heretical especially coming from someone my age; but The Greatful Dead!!
Actually I can't say that I hate them 'cause as far as I know I only heard one of their songs and that was 'Truckin'.
But when I was younger it seemed as though everyone was a dead head. Maybe if I had borrowed one of their albums and actually listened to some of their stuff I'd understand it better.

Fuss to the rescue Eli :D
I'm from the same era and they don't do anything for me either ;)
Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
I'm all about New Order, The Smiths, The Cure, etc., but I loathe Depeche Mode with all of my heart, except for the odd song (Just Can't Get Enough is bouncy enough). Basically, Depeche Mode sounds to me like new wave fluff with the fun sucked out of it.
I like John Mellencamp, Springsteen, and Tom Petty. I HATE Bob Seger.

Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
i really hate the beatles. i know you guys are probably going to hurt me for that but i really do. MADONNA IS BETTER!!!!!!!!
Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
I used to enjoy the occasional Madonna song, but now, for some reason that seems to be associated with this MB, I can't stand her.
Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
Steely Dan - just not into there stuff. I'll tolerate if I can't find anything on the radio but I always change the station as soon as any of their songs start playing

I wonder why? ::)
Subject: Re: Artists you hate, but shouldn't...
This is actually a great topic!! As long as no one gets all crazy when their faves are mentioned! ;) I actually like a lot of these mentioned, but that's what makes the world go 'round, yes? :D
I would say that Pink Floyd is a good start. They have maybe one or two songs that I like, but that's it.
Bruce Springsteen. The boss of what? Looking like a lumberjack? Just my opinion, don't take it personally....
Eric Clapton. Oh, please!! Layla off it, already! Cocaine isn't just a song, it's what I'd have to be on to listen to his stuff.

Are you kidding? It was number one here for about six weeks.

LOL!!! I agree on your choices above and the your entire Clapton statement.
Bruce's voice has just now begun to grate on my nerves after all these years and it must have been the number of times radio stations played his one x-mas song "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". My ears bled. Shrrrrreeeeeekkkk.... Hoarse voices just don't do it for me. But I will always like his songs "Born In The U.S.A.", "Hungry Heart", "Glory Days" and "Cover Me".
I'll add:
Bob Seger, though I do like his song "Against The Wind".
Axl Rose, though I do like most of Guns N Roses's hits. "You Could be Mine" I definitely don't like.
Stevie Nicks, though I do like many of Fleetwood Mac's hits and even a couple off her solo stuff.
Rush, though I do like that one song "Fly By Night".
John Cougar Mellencamp, though I do like "I Need A Lover (That Won't Drive Me Crazy)" and "So Tough".

George Michael. But I like "Wake Me Up before you go go" and "Faith".

Shania Twain - I know she has the number one album but her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Her songs always sound off-key. Everytime I hear "Man I Feel Like A Woman", "That Don't Impress Me Much", "From This Moment One" or that new dreck she has out my head starts to hurt and I want to commit bloody murder.
But I'll listen to Faith Hill and Leanne Womack without suffering a seizure.
