    Not sure if serious. That is music I imagine being played if I was being tortured to death

    Motley Crue kicks ass (well, at least some of it)
    Kiss kicks ass

    Korn kicks ass

    Ratt kicks ass

    Slash (any of his bands) Guns N roses kicks ass

    So, 50% of your opinion really sucks, unfortunately.

    How about the 10 worst? Now, among these I include bands that are reasonably popular, not some one-hit-wonder bands like Hanson

    10 Least Favorite:

    1. Bon Jovi
    2. Def Leppard
    3. Nickelback
    4. Bryan Adams
    5. Poison
    6. Van Halen w/ Sammy Hagar (a few songs were good)
    7. Oasis
    8. Jay-Z (respect him as an entrepreneur- his music does nothing for me)
    9. Coldplay
    10. Any new incarnation of a new band that tries to use a new singer. Foreigner, Journey, Styx w/o Dennis DeYoung, etc. Exceptions for groups that brought in a new singer who recorded original material with them (AC-DC is the best example).

    I am sorry I didn't realize I had to get your approval when the thread asked for an opinion of what bands I liked.

    You're saying Korn kicks ass, but Oasis sucks?

    Your opinion on that is terrible :p
    I agree that Kiss is amazing though.
