10 BANDS I HATE DISLIKE or CAN'T STAND

[@John-k6f9k]

Hating a band is a bit of an unintentional compliment. Good bands are either liked or disliked. Mediocre music is boring and just plain bad music can actually be funny, but if you have strong negative feelings to a band then it means they at least came up with something distinctive even if it's not to your taste. Mediocrity can't be "hated", mediocrity means having no distinguishing features.

[@paulcollins5586]

Coldplay are mediocre and i hate them.

[@i.p.knightly149]

A lot of bands I don''t care for overall but I"ll love one or two of their albums, Kiss' first album, Aerosmith Rocks and Get Your Wings...

[@modjohnsenglishdisco]

Pre-Tommy Shaw Styx is not bad. Jello Biafra told me that. He's not wrong. Solid list! Kiss was meant exactly for my age. Remember how they visited elementary schools? I was surrounded by the Kiss Army. I never enlisted. A former member of the KA once pointed out that if you pay attention, you'll notice Kiss lyrics are primarily about forcing themselves on women. Kinda true... "It's Cold Gin time again... you know I always win!" I was 9 when that came out. People still get butt hurt when I mention that I was never on board. Hey, I watched "Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park"! When a 12-year-old thinks you're dumb... But it seems I was an outlier among my cohort of rock fans. You gave me permission to talk about it publicly! :)) PS I was tortured by baby sitters constantly playing "Beth".

I love RAMONES, Sex Pistols and Turbonegro! That’s it.

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

I have never knowingly listened to a Styx or Journey song, I'm sure I've heard their stuff but I wouldn't even know it if I did. I also tried to see what all the Sparks fuss was about and they did nothing for me at all, I don't get it. I share the same feelings about every band you mentioned

[@179rich]

I don't actually hate too many bands. Blink-182 is an exception. Can't stand them.

[@ToddDavis-p3u]

You said it.

[@frankies9465]

Bands i hate. 1) red hot chili peppers 2) the police 3) dave matthews 4) bon jovi 5) coldplay

[@LeoPerkinsWhite98]

I live in the upper Midwest…so airing strong opinions is considered-well kind of unbecoming…I never liked Styx, but then my football team adopted “renegade” so I had to cave there. I hated Journey too, but some of the songs have grown on me over time. I actually do like bonjovi despite jbv’s vocal range of two notes. Personally Sammy Hagar bugs me-but he’s obviously got deep connections to the industry and isn’t going to go away. I don’t like Def Leoppard either-bubblegum metal! But the moment I say it there’s someone looking at me with pity and going “? I love that band”

[@richardmikesell632]

Never heard of Sparks. Aerosmith and Kiss were fantastic. Interesting how music is so subjective. Enjoyed your video.

[@kennybob7]

I get they're not everybody's cup of tea, but Sparks is fantastic. The other bands mentioned I'm mostly with you on, but Sparks is incredible.

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

We're probably around the same age. Never heard of Sparks. Aerosmith I like. If Kiss would have never done the face painting and uniform nonsense, I may have given them a chance. I liked Journey before they hired the high-pitched singer that ruined them. REO started out okay, but then became just another uninteresting, rock ballad band. Styx to me wanted to be like Kansas, but there was only one Kansas.

[@j.m.5300]

Bands I hate....Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic, Phish, Eagles, Zappa,Dave Mathews Band, Leftover Salmon,.....Pretty much any band I'm sure you love.

[@oldguysmusicstuff2896]

Does anybody like the Dave Mathews Bands....lol

[@DrSleep-ep6cw]

I thought you were going to add Kansas, that would have boggled my mind. 🤯

[@jasperburchfield2028]

If you could hear some newer bands you would probably hate them too.

[@bengalgangster]

im with ya on meatloaf , the big one there , but like aerosmith , kiss , styx, journey

[@Highrollinhunter]

One band I absolutely loathe is Rings Of Saturn I dont get how that stuff is passed on as Metal when its just fake overprocessed noise that sounds like a slot machine with Death Metal vocals

[@bgrady24]

I agree with all of them except Meatloaf, I always liked his stuff.

[@sweetypuss]

what are your thoughts on AxCx then

[@coringatwood6017]

That shit is so easy listening...

[@UlyssesJonah]

we share half of them and don't care much for the other half! except sparks lol

[@Muddpuppy4real]

Happy birthday to Bob Dylan today 😊

[@martybrown358]

Agree.

[@charlesking8943]

I won’t go on about bands I don’t care for. List is too long. But I will say about album covers. Fleetwood Mac has some of the worst album covers. One is so disturbing it reminds me of child molestation. As an artist and a graphic designer. I hate terrible covers. Fleetwood Mac are some of the worst. There’s only 2 I can look at. I will buy a cd Or album because of a great cover. Cover art never gets the credit they deserve. Big name bands had some of the worst covers. But I do love FM music.

[@argieav]

Well, I can't disagree with any of that -- if theres something I think that unites this group , its something to do with being 'for real', - none of them kind of really are 'for real' imho - I was terrified you were going to say Depeche Mode, or Lynyrd Skynyrd, or Joy Division, and Id have had to argue with you .

[@John-k6f9k]

Most of them are upbeat and enthusiastic sounding. That's annoying to the cynical, grumpy mindset.

[@oldguysmusicstuff2896]

Got lots of Skynyrd and 1 album by Joy division and have heard a few albums by Depeche Mode, they're ok.

[@argieav]

@@John-k6f9k well, i guess one mans 'upbeat and enthusiastic' is another mans ersatz, cloying, second rate ....

[@argieav]

@@oldguysmusicstuff2896 I got into Skynyrd after watching the 2015 documentary Gone with he Wind, and its only the Ronnie van Zant iteration of the band I like , seems a version of the band still goes , but thats not the real thing ... as for Depeche Mode being ok ....oh, thats torn it ! ... they are way more than that , but I can understand how outside of fans a 'best of' would suffice - and with Depeche Mode , its the whole sound-look-feeling of the band , and Anton Corbijns input also, to make the whole thing really hit home - like 'Behind the Wheel' is a pretty ace song anyhow, but add the sexy video with that Italian actress , the moody black and white photography ...it becomes a total work of quasi erotic/musical art - imho !

[@goonbelly5841]

Here's a really tough video for you to make: "10 bands I've never heard of"😕
