Bands you hate

[TacitBlue]

The Darkness!!! hate... so.. much! gaaah!
Also- Creed, Nickleback, 3 Doors Down, The B-52s, Matchbox 20 (his voice mainly), and any and all of the new hardcore stuff where its just a trendy looking guy screaming un-intelligible noises against what would otherwise be pretty good music.

Hey Jude is a piece of crap, but what about all the other hits? Come Together? That's one of the best!

Yeah, but Kobain had no musical talent what-so-ever.

I prefer Axl Rose's cover.

I hate Good Charlotte and Simple Plan.

Now the comments about Kurt Cobain having no musical talent...you may not like the guy or the music, but it's a bit naive and spiteful to say he had no talent.  So, he wasn't a great guitarist, but he played with a lot of feeling and devotion and was a great singer.  I defy you to listen to 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night' without being impressed or moved at the end of the song.  Infact, the whole of the MTV Unplugged performance has perfect singing.  :'(

Also, when Nirvana made it big, they were the only band of there kind to make it big...they were surrounded by bands like Guns N' Roses and they helped contribute to these bands downfall (I firmly believe Axl Rose hated KC just cos his music wa more popular).  The guitar playing was simple, but it was also very melodic and he used off-time strumming atterns, whoch makes t actually quite hard to play Nirvana songs and sing them at the same time, cos it's two different rythmsas well as two different notes.  Kurt Cobain was a talented musician and ruined himself with drugs, it's undeniable.  You don't have to like him or his music, but you have to see the talent, you just have to.

And Dave Grohl (Nirvana drummer, now Foo Fighters frontman) is also a very talented musician.  I was very sceptical of the Foos at first, thinking they were just the 'Nirvana drummers band', but they're not.  Dave doesn't want to be know as the drummer from Nirvana, he wants to be known for the Foo Fighters, which is pretty respectable considering Nirvana were the bggest band in the world at one point.

I'm sorry I still don't see the talent in Kurt Cobain.  I've learned to play five or six of his songs to prove this very point to people, and I picked each one up in less than two minutes.  I didn't find any problem singing them while playing, and I normally have problem doing this.  

He should have been a poet.  I'll give him that, he can write poetry.  But music?  No.

I hate Good Charlotte and Simple Plan.

At least we can agree on that.  :)

The main problem for Nirvana with me is that I can differentiate between music I like that's good, music that I don't like but is still good, and music that is bad.  Some of Nirvana's songs, the ones that they play all the time on the radio, are terrible.  Just absolutely atrocious.  Some of the most monotonous (read: MONOTONE), undistinguished pieces I've ever heard.

I understand how so many people felt drawn to Kurt, people in a similar life situation, but god his music was bad.  I'm not saying he didn't have any talent, but the music was just bad-some of it was tolerable, but too much of it has me banging my head, and not the good kind.

 I'm not saying he didn't have any talent,

Ok then I will, the guy had no talent!
The whole grunge scene was nothing but no talent that lead into the lack of talent we have today
Not to mention ruined wearing flannel shirts for me! LOL!!!

Was that one of their drug songs? Weeeeird lyrics there. And the "shoooop!" part annoys me.

[Ben_M_K]

I don't know what it was but it's a good song...

[flyboy 28]

I know but its a stupid song.

Of course he's gonna have feet down below his knees!

Sheez..

The grunge scene?  Nirvana?  Nirvana didn't consider themselves grunge, they considered themselves punk.  The media labelled them grunge in a derogatory manner, don't be fooled.  Real grunge is Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains....don't tell me those bands have no talent, because that is in now way true.  

Oh, and....real grunge bands never wore flannel shirts.

[Scorpiоn]

Godsmack, the Beatles, Greenday, Pantera, Blink 182 and all similar bands.

Whiny or angry little people with no voice talent.

Frank Sinatra, Emma Shapplin, Sasha Lazard and even Rammstein!  Now they have voice!  Not everyone has the right to be a singer.  You have to have the gift first. If only we could get an opera singer to join a hard rock band...

I will admit The 5.6.7.8's don't  exactly qualify as a great vocal band, but they do have catchy little diddies!
