Your most hated bands/groups

A very good point here. I can't think of a band I didn't like that I cared about enough to hate.

 

I actually agree with you on this.

 

I think you can discern "hatred" from "I just don't go out of my way to listen to them".

Do I *hate* Isbell? No. I'll listen to him sing here and there but the music doesn't stir my senses.

Do I *hate* Springsteen? No. All-time performer but again, no my cup of tea.

I don't hate any music. I don't like country in general but I like Jerry Reed. All depends on the music.

As for Phish, I listen to them all day in the gallery; either them or the Dead. I saw Phish on 12/28 at MSG. There might not be a better concert right now. They put on a helluva show, as good as it gets, except for when they turn a strong 8-minute song into a 22-minute travesty because Trey's eyes get lost in the back of his head, somewhere east of outer space. The fucker doesn't know when to cut if off sometimes.

 

Can't believe I forgot to mention Coldplay.

 

Come over to the dark side. We have cookies.

Well, Well, Well, Look Who’s Come Crawling To His Uncle To Hear His Fleetwood Mac Concert Stories

 

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac was awesome.

Mid-period Fleetwood Mac with Jeremy Spencer and Bob Welch was quirky and sometimes interesting.

Mega-period Mac from their white album in 75 to Tusk in '79 kicked ass.

1980s Mac, drenched in Buckingham's synth and techno doodling and with Stevie Nicks disappearing in a cokey haze, just seemed irrelevant.

 

I think it was the manager of Oasis who described Coldplay as "bed-wetter music." I'm often reminded of that comment when I hear their music.

 

Soulless hippie.

Anyway, I caught part of a Green Day doc last night and was reminded how much I dislike pretentious punk.

 

I pride myself in being able to tolerate almost any music. Even if I don't like it, I appreciate it for what it is and the effort it took to produce. But Styx, man. Styx tests that resolve.

 

C'mon, this is an all-timer. Much of their other stuff, not so much.

 

Dookie is a perfect record for the gym, or sledgehammering a tire.

 

Dookie is dookie.
