    I guess some rules around this thing. It has to be a band, not a solo act, so saying that you don't like Taylor Swift doesn't count :grin:

    Let's also leave out the boy bands, because they are too easy to hate as well, so let's say only bands that had a singer and instruments being played.

    Name up to 3 choices. No need to justify your hate, you just don't like them. It is what it is. It would be fun to see some of the sacred cows named though.

    I'll be first:

    I don't like the Beatles. I have never liked any of their songs.
    I don't like Pearl Jam. I thought it was whiny and pretentious in the 90's and hearing it today still reminds me of why I never liked them in the first place.
    I don't like Nickelback. All their music kinda sounds the same to me and it's all catered to the drunk bar crowd, maybe it's just part of me getting older(get off my lawn!)

    How dare you put the Beatles in a group with Nickelback. Terrible thread. Clearly you just wanted to show the world what a unique little snowflake you are. Guess what?

    This. For the same reasons. But I was never a huge fan of any of the 90's Seattle bands, except for Alice in Chains.

    And everyone hates Nickleback.

    And for the record I agree about Pearl Jam.

    I don't get Avenge Sevenfold. Sounds like a displaced 80s band. Don't hate them, just don't dig them.

    Beatles, Rolling Stones, Ace of Base. I think that covers it.

    I like Nickleback. I don't get the hate.

    I'm not a special snowflake, I just don't like the Beatles. Besides, this is a thread for others to say what popular bands they dislike.

    I want others to name some of the other sacred cows, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Metallica(I happen to like all those).

    I've grown to dislike Nirvana over the years. I don't like the Smashing Pumpkins.

    Slayer - Grr! Devilry! ah! Metal! Goat's heads!
    Bruce Springsteen - writes nothing but pretentious love songs
    The Cure - I don't know who they are exactly, and I've never heard a single song from (probably because they stink), but I don't like 'em.

    I don't like the Black Keys. I feel like their music is soulless and formulaic, which, fine, I guess a lot of music is -- but blues can't be, and theirs is. I often doubt that they are even humans, and think they are robots designed to pump out blues rock -- like they are creating it based on marketing research and music algorithms.

    Nickelback is too easy.

    I don't hate nirvana, in fact I actually quite enjoy Nirvana, I just don't get what the huge cultural deal was. They do nothing more significant than the other Seattle bands at the time.

    Also what's pretentious or winey about pearl jam? Odd description.
    But then again, you don't like the Beatles, that's like saying I hate music. ��

    Agreed. Their songs sound too much the same.
