I literally punched the radio off one time when Bare Naked Ladies came on. Most annoying band ever.
What is the mood on Bare Naked Ladies? or one of my oldie favorites Pearl Jam?
Agree Pink Floyd was a good option, but, there are haters out there.
Hendrix on the other hand ... I don't think I've ever heard of anybody who hated or strongly disliked his music.
Otherwise I'm going to side with the Red Rooster and mention Bob Marley... maybe not today, but eventually those old geezers who are "anti reggae" are gonna die off...
And this will be the most controversial, Riverside. I know no one who dislikes Riverside. They aren't well known enough to be popular enough that most people have even heard them. Generally, only people who have heard them on purpose have heard them, and what they heard could only be described as "eargasm."
Hmm I'd have to agree about Bob Marley; I haven't met anybody who actually dislikes his music, from young to old.
People who say they hate the Beatles simply have to be ignorant of the amazing, often ground-breaking breadth of the entire canon of their work. For instance, which Beatles genre are you talking about when you say you hate them?
The catchy, fun, initial pop Beatles? The wildly innovative psychedelic Beatles , to which all other bands who came after owe a debt? The beautifully melodic, heart-breakingly crafted Beatles of the White Album? The resurgent and lovable Beatles of Abbey Road?
Yeah, that John Lennon, what a hack!
You may think you're trendy and super cereal hip uttering such shallow, arrant nonsense.
You're not.
Right, i don't listen to them either, i listened to The Wall a lot in the past, grew tired of it, and often i'm not in the mood for extra long-winded songs .. but i don't "hate" them; like i would hate NIN or Marilyn Manson, or any of these later RnB starlets, or a number of groups i properly HATE.Two bands (PF and RHCP)that get an instant change channel from me.
Rush?
I think they got a hundred times better and more interesting after Joshua Tree, up until 2000-ish. Still good, but the Achtung Baby and Pop experimental phase was just "wow".
Giant lemon, Popmart, ZooTV? Shit, I wish I was old enough to enjoy that stuff then.
Weezer... the main singer is going major bald on the top. I was surprised when I saw a more recent music video, and he still looks young until you look from above or behind...
Or it could just be that I've never heard a Beatles song I like.
This. Even with Zeppelin and Pink Floyd (both bands I can't stand) they at least both have one song that I like. Can't say that for The Beatles.
I can't think of a single band that NOBODY hates. Not really possible since musical tastes are so diverse.

109 replies Weird Al still keeping it hate free.
Everyone loves Weird Al! :awe:

How do you really hate Weird Al though? I feel like literally everyone just "kind of likes" him. Have you ever seen some one wearing a Weird Al shirt? Or some one that said they couldn't wait to get his new CD? Even his worst songs have at least a few lyrics that will make you smile.
Exactly, you can't hate Weird Al.
You might not like him, but how do you hate him?
Led Zep
I dunno... but I don't think anyone would really cross their arms and frown if sitting in concert watching the Beatles perform "Hey Jude." The song just screams for a happy singalong. you're a liar if you say you'd hate that
Hasn't he been sued a couple times? I'm sure those folks hate him...
Though really I can't fault the idea that Weird Al has to be one of the least hated musical entities out there.
Coolio sued him, but I believe they've buried the hatchet since then and the story goes that his label or something told him Coolio had given the ok on Amish Paradise when they hadn't actually gotten permission yet.
IIRC doesn't Al ask for permission from the original artist before actually parodying something?
