Top 5 popular bands/artists you don't love or like that everybody else seems to

I got inspired to makes this thread after posting on another thread about a band I know is important to music history/rock n' roll/ pop, but I just am not into. I was also inspired by watching a video from the Cinemassacre channel on YouTube about the top ten films James Rolfe doesn't love that are considered classics or best films of all time.

These bands can be established classics, recent or new and hitting the charts right now. Bands that you acknowledge are important to music history or understand their popularity. I just want to hear everybody's opinions on groups/artists/bands that people love, but you just don't like or love just as much. I'll start with mine below

- Cher
- the Grateful Dead
- Imagine Dragons
- Kanye West
- Twenty One Pilots

No trolling or looking to make people mad, just honesty. I look forward to everyone's replies.

 

This negative thread is (unfortunately) gonna get shut down soon, so I'd better hurry up and list my 5:

The Beatles
Queen
The Kinks
The Beach Boys
ABBA

 

U2
REM
Queen
Pearl Jam
Oasis

(Usually when the frontman/vocalist annoys me, I check out.)

 

Hooray.
Today’s
Things I Don't Like thread

 

I could easily list 30 artists/bands that take up half the bandwidth around here, that I have almost zero interest in.

That ISN'T to say that I don't have any respect for all those same artists/bands -- just that their music hasn't ever caught hold with me, or at least it hasn't yet. Or, in some cases, I rather like them as far as it goes, but I'm nowhere near as much of a fan as many around here.

We all have our own personal preferences, and those will vary wildly from person to person.

 

Limp Bizkit
Justin Beiber
Creed
Vanilla Ice
Nickelback


I know these are all highly acclaimed artists, and I've tried delving into their respective oeuvres but without much luck I am afraid. Someone please explain to me the rich wonders of audio bliss I am missing out on here.

 

Woo hoo! Hate thread!

 

Ha ha... I got nothin', Captain Obvious.

 

Led Zeppelin
Rush
ZZ Top
Queen
Pink Floyd

 

Gene Clark
Nick Drake
Sandy Denny
Yes
Fleetwood Mac

Some of these seemed to be formerly critics’ darlings only, but are now popular, yes? Either way, I don’t understand why. Hope I haven’t missed the OP’s point.

 

Elvis
Bob Dylan
Johnny Cash
Neil Young
The Band

 

The Beatles
Elvis
Rolling Stones
Def Leppard
..oh..and The Beatles

 

Grateful Dead
KISS
Limp Bizkit
Billie Eilish
Nickelback

 

The Beatles
Cliif Richard
Roy Orbison
Johnny Cash.
Many of the contemporary "little girls, with little voices, singing the little songs they wrote."

 

Rush
Radiohead
Nickelback
Oasis
Pearl Jam

 

1. Barenaked Ladies
2. Crash Test Dummies
3. Bruce Springsteen
4. Bon Jovi
5. The Grateful Dead

 

I love how you tell people to not troll, yet you provide a list of artists you know good and well not everybody else likes.

 

I do not own any albums by the following artists (nor will I ever):

The Rolling Stones
Bruce Springsteen
James Taylor
Madonna
Chicago

 

There are people that go crazy for these groups/bands based on my own observations. Based on YouTube and social media some of these groups are on fire right now as far as popularity goes. Of course like/dislike ratio is to be accounted for, but either way it builds hype.

Like I said, I'm just being honest in what I've seen and what I'm listening to puts me at odds with some of them.

 

I love Nick Drake, but I can definitely why someone wouldn't be into him.

 

Don't hate, just not my cup of tea:

Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
Queen
Frank Zappa
David Bowie

 

I already listed 5, but here's 5 more:

David Bowie
Pink Floyd
Monkees
Grateful Dead
Led Zeppelin

 

Radiohead
Ed Sheeran
Velvet underground
Clash
Elvis Costello

 

Can I just use this opportunity to say that I don't get why LCD Soundsystem are so highly rated? I don't think they are terrible as such, but I just never got what all the fuss was about. Ahhhh that felt good. Thanks!
