Has some potential for good debates though!

Madonna
Soulja Boi

Anyone who plays at that Tamworth weekend
Anyone referred to as 'The next ...'
Anyone with a facial piercing
Anyone unfamiliar with soap

[AndyP]

Hate is a strong word, so I'm trying to think of artists that come on the radio and make me immediately change the station.

[PeteyD]

This is very hard. Jarro's selections are surprising. As AP says, need something that you turn off straight away.

Insane Clown Posse
Any song where they constantly refer to Women as Hos
A Lot of REM
Kasey Whiney Chambers

[henno]

The Ramones
The Sex Pistols

:cry: Both great bands!

He played in a band with me for about a year ..... a real talent 8-)

[Ned]

[Russ]

U2

[Johnny Canuck]

Alanis Morissette - easy #1

Britney Spears.

Honourable Mention to Dream Theater and U2.

[Jarro]

INXS
Silverchair (Earlier stuff is bearable - newer stuff is whiny & horrid. 1 Coldplay is too much, the World doesn't need a second)
Ouch x 4

[Johnny Canuck]

Have you actually had a listen to them ?

I had a mate of mine convince me that they were the greatest band ever. He gave me a tape of theirs (ages ago) and I was very disappointed.

I did throw that in just for you:mrgreen:.

In fairness, I haven't heard much of theirs and there are 100 bands I hate more, such as MISSY HIGGINS!

[adlo]

I can understand Missy Higgins annoying people. I do like her though. Good songwriter.

My four would be:

Kasey Chambers
Celine Dion
Pantera (or any death metal)
Spin Doctors (especially if it involved any live recordings)

[Flowergirl]

Anything released since 1976. Nothing decent since then.:smt023

[sms316]

1976 was indeed a stellar year.

[Johnny Canuck]

I can understand Missy Higgins annoying people. I do like her though. Good songwriter.

My four would be:

Kasey Chambers

Pantera (or any death metal)
Spin Doctors (especially if it involved any live recordings)

They have some very good songs and I actually own 3 of their albums.

Missy Higgins? Ghey.

[markTHEblake]

Anything released since 1976. Nothing decent since then.:smt023

i reckon you would have been a Bay City Rollers fan i can just imagine you all tartaned up.

(oops, as I typed that I almost made a clanger of a freudian slip)

[Johnny Canuck]

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!

Nothing beats the Scottish dad in "So I Married an Axe Murderer" singing that!

[Johnny Canuck]

Please add ABBA's "Dancing Queen" to my list of worst songs ever made. Sorry if you like that too Aldo.

[adlo]

They have some very good songs and I actually own 3 of their albums.

Missy Higgins? Ghey.
I hate death metal JC. In any shape or form.

Missy Higgins.... I like most singer/songwriter music.

[adlo]

Please add ABBA's "Dancing Queen" to my list of worst songs ever made. Sorry if you like that too Aldo.
Actually, put ABBA in my top 4 instead of Spin Doctors.
Now they are the most overrated band of all time.

[Johnny Canuck]

I hate death metal JC. In any shape or form.

Missy Higgins.... I like most singer/songwriter music.

They are not death metal. It is an entirely different thing. They have so very good stuff, although they are the only band of their nature that I ever have, or ever will listen to. Not my normal cup of tea, but still good.

Please don't try and justify Missy. Justifying Missy = SuperGhey. I'll get you some pink headcovers.

[sms316]

The Wiggles
Hi Five
The Living End
Pink
Substitute Meatloaf for Hi Five. At least I can tolerate Hi Five in minute doses.

[Johnny Canuck]

Substitute Meatloaf for Hi Five. At least I can tolerate Hi Five in minute doses.

Meatloaf as a food, good.

As a singer, terrible. Except for Paradise by the Dashboard Lights.

[AndyP]

Please add ABBA's "Dancing Queen" to my list of worst songs ever made. Sorry if you like that too Aldo.
Awesome song on Singstar. :mrgreen:

You've all been very helpful for my list, but I'm sure some substitutions will still need to be made.

Kasey Chambers (didn't need your help for this one)
Nickelback (it all ****ing sounds the same)
John Butler Trio (hippy shit)
Katy Perry (garbage)

John Cougar Melloncamp could easily slot into Katy's spot, but she is all over the radios at the moment.

[adlo]

OK, delete Pantera and insert Sepultura. All the same to me.

Please inscribe Missy into those headcovers thanks mate.

[Johnny Canuck]

Sepultura, agree with that.

Headcovers on the way,

[TourFit]

Pete "one tone" Murray
Kasey 'whiney' Chambers
Ben "the annoying shit" Lee

It's a tie for fourth between

Bernard "boring" Fanning
Missy "can't sing the letter 'i' (oiye)" Higgins

[PeteyD]

Sepultura and Pantera are rather different. Not really a fan of either, prefer Slayer myself.

Garbage were quite good, oh you mean Katy Perry is garbage, I agree.

[Johnny Canuck]

Slayer I can't do.

[AndyP]

Pete Murray is another that just missed my list. ZZZZZzzzzzzzz.

[gazgolf1]

ACDC...music for bogans.
Chili Peppers...crap before and after Blood Sugar Sex Magic.
Mellencamp...my finger hits the button on the radio automatically at "a little ditty bout Jack and Diane"
Bjork...nuff said.

[poidda]

U2

Just sing the ****ing song and stop trying to save the world. If they don't have the world "Propaganda" in their next world tour title, they're full of it.

[PeteyD]

Tell us what you really think Poidda! Mind you I agree.

[adlo]

yeah, U2 would be much better off keeping politics and music separate. Not going to happen though.

Good call on Bjork gaz. Unbearable.

And TourFit, good to see you support for Aussie music :lol:

Pete Murray is soooooooooooooooooo boring though. However, Bernard Fanning is much better.

I can't see why everyone hates Bono for legitimately making life better for underpriveleged people and nations. He has done a lot of good and made great change.

You they think he is all talk and doesn't actually do anything? Because nothing could be further from the truth.

Why then on their last Australian tour did Bono and the rest of the U2 tools stay at the Palazzo Versace down the coast ? - 5 star luxury while those he crows endlessly about starve - wow, he really cares...

[Minor_Threat]

You they think he is all talk and doesn't actually do anything? Because nothing could be further from the truth.Thats all bullshit mate..

I have a very good mate who runs the touring company for these "big" bands that come out here, he is also part of a very big charity in Aus. There was an issue with the U2 tour shirts and my mate asked to have them for the charity because U2 couldn't sell him. He was told no by Bono personally... (The shirts were destroyed) The guy is a wanker!

My list:

• Anything played on radio stations like Nova etc
• Any hip hop
• That bullshit crazy frog type stuff they come up with now
• Nickelback / Hillsong Rock crap they have these days

[Scottt]

So because he wouldn't give free shirts to some guy and stays at the Versace, the millions he has raised and given and time he has spent pressuring world leaders to make more of an effort is null and void?

Wow. Tough crowd.

What have you guys done for charity?

[adlo]

Scottt, I agree with you. He cops so much hass, but most people in the limelight do. Tall poppy syndrome. I am not saying he is perfect, but neither are we... He does a lot of good.

[damoocow]

So because he wouldn't give free shirts to some guy and stays at the Versace, the millions he has raised and given and time he has spent pressuring world leaders to make more of an effort is null and void?

Seems to be a case of 'do what I say' and not ' do what I do' - I guess that makes him a hypocrite...

[adlo]

But he does give his time and money.

Does that mean he needs to stay in a 2 star hotel? Mega stars generally need to stay somewhere exclusive or they get swamped.

[damoocow]

Surely you're not serious....

[Minor_Threat]

Wow. Tough crowd.

What have you guys done for charity?Mate I have done plenty for charity.. I donate time and money to a homeless shelter here in Melbourne, and do whatever I can elsewhere, but thats OK unlike Bono I don't need to "float my own boat".

The situation I told you about wasn't "just some guy" as I said he is a high flyer in a very very well respected charity here in Australia as Damoocow has suggested giving the shirts to this charity was not something he wanted to do so he would rather see them destroyed!

The guy is a ****wit and his music is lame also..

[adlo]

I don't mean they need to stay in a $5K a night palace, but they do need to be removed from common folk. I am serious about that.

And I am serious that he gives his own money and gives most of his time to charity. He also lobbies in forums that most people have no hope of ever doing, ie world leaders. So good on him.

Good music too....

[adlo]

I have never met the guy and will not pass judgement based on that fact. Anyone in the public eye gets their fair share of criticism.

[Scottt]

Seems to be a case of 'do what I say' and not ' do what I do' - I guess that makes him a hypocrite...

What you appear to be suggesting is that he should starve to death so he can be like his peeps. What a load of shite. The people who make the decisions circulate in high places. He has access to those high places and uses that for good.

I notice you ignored my enquiry about your own contributions to charity...

[markTHEblake]

Why then on their last Australian tour did Bono and the rest of the U2 tools stay at the Palazzo Versace...

It is a good point Damo, and its often a bitter pill to swallow. However for one I personally see no reason why anyone should not be able to enjoy the fruits of their success. If doing what they do results in millions being generated to help those who cant help themselves, then I am all for it.

Bono would be wasting his life if he went to africa and lived with the homeless, far better that he keep doing what he does, and raise millions to support the nobodies like you and me who might choose one day to give it all away and build a school and a church in Somalia :-)

p.s. yeah the shirts story is kinda sad though.


but thats OK unlike Bono I don't need to "float my own boat".

peoples charitable work is something to be commended for when seen, but if anyone broadcasts what they do, they are floating their own boat.


I notice you ignored my enquiry about your own contributions to charity...

You shouldn't ask and nobody should answer that one.

[AndyP]

What's with people answering with music genres instead of individual bands?

[Minor_Threat]

What's with people answering with music genres instead of individual bands?
Because I hate the whole genre and don't know any bands/groups from the genre..

[Webster]

1. The Beatles
2. Billy Joel.
3. KD Lang
4. Casey Chambers.

[goughy]

G69, did you ever know that you're my hero??

[Jarro]

G69, did you ever know that you're my hero??

You do realise that he likes the Sunnyboys don't you Goughy ? :shock:

I'm not gonna ask to be alone with him tonight!! That's for sure.

[poidda]

At least they're ****ing doing something. If you don't like them musically, all fine and good, but slagging them for trying to do a good thing?? That's pretty ****ing stupid!!

That's the thing. I do (or did) like there music. And that's what I pay my money to musicians for. I don't pay big coin to go get cornered in a concert and forced to listen to their political views.

[dc68]

You do realise that he likes the Sunnyboys don't you Goughy ? :shock:


What the hell is wrong with that short stuff?

One of the best Aussie bands ever.... Too bad Jeremy had some issues with depression etc. Would love to have seen em keep going.

[PeteyD]

Aren't they orange flavours ice block things?

[hocko]

Overseas bands;
1; Fall Out boy (Bloody whinging kids with that many piercings it looks like they ran into a barbedwire fence!)
2; Amy Winehouse (The name says it all)

4; Nickleback (Nothing to say)

Aussie Bands;
1; Cold Chisel

I am getting pi88ed off just mentioning these people!!!

[macjackass]

I wish I had added this. I think they're called finger eleven and the song is called paralyzer. I've heard some rubbish in my life but this could very well be the most Sh*t song of all time!!

[AndyP]

I can't believe I forgot her. That said, I like Black Eyed Peas.

Kasey Chambers (didn't need your help for this one)
Nickelback (it all ****ing sounds the same)
John Butler Trio (hippy shit)
Fergie (skank of the highest order)

Jeeze, you've mentioned JCM twice now! He'll get a complex.
I've seen him twice too!

[AndyP]

No, I just did an update of the list I already had. He was already in the just missed out category.

[goughy]

Fair enough, didn't take it as an update.

[AndyP]

jimandr has inspired me to bump this thread. A couple of my hated have dropped off the radar, but I also listen to very little radio these days, so I'm really bumping it to let some others post.

[Eldrick]

Good charlotte-the tatts aren't fooling anyone.the spice girls are tougher than these try hards
Akon-just shits me to tears
Nickleback-there is no reason for them to exist.I hold JC personally responsible
ACDC-like nails on a chalkboard to me(apart from the odd riff)

Nearly nominated U2 just to get the Bono hate train to pull out of the station again

[timah!]

Nickelback
Pitbull
Lady GaGa
(reserved for future hatred)

[Eag's]

Lady Gaga!! what station are you listening to timah :shock:

[LarryLong]

Nick Cave. So deep.
AC/DC. I worked in a put with a jukebox for over 5 years. If I ever hear you shook me all night long again I will claw my own eyes out
Foo Fighters. Pop songs, made into hard rockers by the addition of four bars of shouting in the middle
Coldplay. Massively overrated by many people, including themselves.

I could make a hefty list of genres too - any sort of rap with very few exceptions, heavy metal and anything heavier, emo music, any song with the word 'featuring' in the artist credit, the rubbish they refer to as RnB these days, starlets, boy bands, bogan rawk, dreamy atmospheric crap that's in fashion these days, 30 year old bands who won't stop touring, especially the Rolling Stones from 1980 onwards, electronica, trance, euro-pop, country and western, classical music, prog rock, and every song that was ever played on the jukebox of my Dad's pub.

Modern artists first.

Eminem

Dr Hook
Brotherhood of Man
Smokie
Leo Sayer

I'm glad AndyP resurrected this thread, because it is an issue I've given some thought to in recent times. When I got the opportunity to 'borrow' a large quantity of music from other collections, I had to think about what I wanted to keep, and what I wanted to reject. I have actually found, to my surprise, that I quite enjoy listening to some stuff that I used to hate way back when it was current. I used to detest light as a feather pop music by people like Abba, Wham and the Bee Gees. But that stuff has stood the test of time. New generations of music listeners seem to connect with those artists, while much 'deeper' music from that time seems very dated. Pink Floyd has also stood the test of time, but contemporaries like Yes, King Crimson and the slightly later Alan Parsons project have completely fallen out of fashion.

I've actually become a fan of modern pop music. I don't really understand why I like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Rihanna, while still enjoying the blues and things like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, but that is the reality of my music listening profile.

Having said all of that, music listening is a very personal thing, so I don't judge anybody else for their taste in music. Except people who like James Blunt. If it was a bottom five he'd be next.

[mike]

Black Eyed Peas
Good Charlotte

Nothing else springs to mind atm.
