Im am glad this thread was about bands people hate which allows everyone to just vent their prejudices rather than bands you like where you would all have been trying to be crawling up each others backsides with pseudo intellectual bull.

Hating the beatles because they took the limelight away from The stones is hilarious.

The rolling stones are resposnible for that. If they had all died in a plane crash about 1980 they would have had a great music legacy and would have been regarded as a great band.

At least the Beatles had the good sense to break up before they become a laughing stock and a parody of a rock band and not release shoite for 3 decades.

As for not liking REM because they are miserable and not mentioning the Smiths or Morrisey at the same time is laughable.

REM were a great band and spoke to a lot of people at the time. Any band who can make people think that The one I love is a love song deserve respect.

Personally i hate any UK bands trying to be some sort of american gangstas , Garage and crooners like Jamie Cullum , Michael Buble and their copycat from the X factor

Anne-Marie

And nowt changes

Catatonia (horrible wailing voice).
Bananarama (no harmonies)
Squeeze (crap, jokey music)

In general, the list is quite large. In reality, there are so many mediocre singers these days that I just don’t want to list them all. My small list ....Train, Glee, Biffy Clyro, Sex Pistols ... ​can be continued for a long time
