AC/DC, and Aerosmith fit the bill for me. Can't stand either of them TBH, not sure why though, I guess I just don't "get" them.
Other the other hand, unlike others in this thread, I think Pink Floyd are bloody amazing, and one of the few bands I never get tired of listening too.
I hate AC/DC as well

Anyone who hates AC/DC has some serious issues..... Just sayin...

But to each their own. I used to hate The Beatles and got some serious sh*t for it, so I know the feeling.

I can't stand the Bon Scott era AC/DC, but the Brian Johnson era is some of my favorite Rock n Roll.

Wall to wall speakers + Back in Black....I can't imagine anyone not liking that.

I'm aboard with the people that don't get The Grateful Dead.

But props to the people who actually get into them - never seen such devoted followers.

I don't get Van Morrison - (bar Gloria (to be obvious) -  I can't get through a single item, and have nearly self-euthanased to avoid hearing Moondance.

I'm glad to see Blue is off the sh*t-list; it always hit me as being 2 amazing albums (stylistically speaking - ie the lush piano tracks (eg My old man, Richard, Blue) vs the guitar based items (Carey, This flight tonight, A case of you)

I really like Blue but I also can't help but feel a little annoyed when I listen to it sometimes because I'm thinking, "Man, I sure wish I was rich enough to flee to Europe when I get depressed about breakups!" What a hard life that must be, heh.

I tend to stay away from bands that take themselves oh-so-seriously, so of course I avoid most Pink Floyd (especially The Wall era), or Zep. If you can't enjoy a good laugh, as our BB's, especially Brian, often did, or the Kinks, forget it. You didn't just come down from Mt. Sinai with the stone tablets, dude, you're just a wealthy musician.

Also, STP was never really grunge , apart from their first album. In fact, they're more of a 60s and 70s influenced band than anything else.

Tiny Music is a brilliant album. People who think they only did grunge music and "I AM I AM I AM" and sh*t should check it out, particularly stuff like "And So I Know" or "Adhesive" which totally stand out in comparison to their peers of the day.

Much more a fan of the Bon Scott era. Brian Johnson's cool, but his voice gets a little grating at times, and the band weren't so predictable when Bon was around. I'm sure they would've went the same way had he lived, just sayin' - the original sound and style were formed when he was around, and a lot of the better ideas came in the earlier days, too. They remain good to this day (should note I'm definitely a casual fan), but Bon's voice was so good, so much character, and like I said the songwriting in those days does a bit more for me.

hypehat reminded me that I think Sly & The Family Stone are some of the most un-funk, boring music ever. Maybe I should snort some Roxis before listening to There's a Riot Goin' On or something but goshdarn is that and their preceding albums snore-inducing.

To say that Riot isn't 'funky' enough is kind of missing the point (although the drumming on the very first tune is enough funk for most men). I don't go to it for a good time, I guess? It's a really dark and uncomfortable record, helped of course by the lo-fi home recording/mixing techniques and vast amounts of drugs being consumed. His lyrics are insane and he sounds strung out as f***! It's like Smiley Smile if they'd invented the drum machine in 1967.


To say that Stand! is nothing but a good time is, however, insane. I will fight for Sly Stone to the death!


I'm unmoved. It's all just boring to me, whether it's meant to be upbeat or not. I'll pass

I actually like the fact that they had both singers/both eras because, frankly as a big fan, I get tired of both guys after a while and it's nice to be able to switch back n forth between eras...

Bon was the better lyricist but Brian's voice was more powerful and more instantly recognizable as being AC/DC. The band got lucky twice with stumbling across the only two guys in the world who's voices fit the band like a glove....

I'm going to throw Morrisey/The Smiths into the ring, absolutely cannot fucking stand them! Motley Crue can also go die in fire, possibly the worst band ever.

I'm very surprised at the amount of people who don't like Joni Mitchell but hey ho, different strokes and all.

Couldn't agree more regarding Motley Crue! One of the worst bands ever and one of the worst in their on genre...

Hell, most of those 80's hair/glam bands come off pretty well these days but the Crue still sound horrid....

I don't mean to get 'thread police' up in this bitch, but posts going 'I can't stand X or Y suck' is sorta missing the point - I never said I didn't like Joni Mitchell, Led Zep or Pink Floyd, but that I've never listened to them ever of my own choice and had no desire to remedy that situation.

I'm definitely a Bon girl,  but I LOVE Back in Black.  The Bon years were fun,  he had character in spades,  was cheeky and had the devil in him.  One of my favorite clips of him is Let There Be Rock, in the church.   I respect Brian but for me It's Bon all the way.
