Anything from Pop Idol, X Factor.

Their later stuff maybe, but made some brilliant stuff in the 80s, give or take Stipes voice.

Cliff Richard.

Think that's what grates on me actually!

Beady Eye

The Vaccines

Limp Bizkit

Muse!!

And any of that emo 5hit like MCR, Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco etc.

Oh, and Kings Of Leon - talk about overrated crap!!!

Kings of Leon - Biggest sell outs in the history of modern music

Definitely Coldplay. Yuck.

I find myself less able to become exercised about music I don't like any more, as the modern output of watered down, manufactured, auto-tuned dribble is, in the vast majority, just hateful.

I do quite enjoy my heretical distaste for The Beatles - as Vasty alludes to, the sentimental Scouse industry that has grown up around them is crashingly dull and has created a mythology that in my view, isn't justified.

I also like to dislike Muse; they are a classic example of how a collection of excellent musicians does not necessarily equate to a good band. Dull, pseudo-intellectual, self-indulgent and sanitised - it's not for me, I'm out.

Finally, I can summon up a passionate dislike for Williams; smug, strutting and unable to play an instrument, sing or write a song, he has the singular talent of believing his own hype.

pete docherty........waste of skin and an oxygen thief to boot!

I'll go with that!

Is Williams even an artist or just a fairground Norman Wisdom impersonator.

His churlish behaviour to the nice but dull Gary Barlow is especially nauseating. Gary is not my cup of tea but what talent exists in the Take That orbit is clearly his.

Coldplay
Maroon 5
Any of today's chart music it's all R n B dance music rubbish.

Adele. Hands-down THE most over-hyped artist of the last 20 years, hands-down.

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
