Band That Angers You Most

Second coming of Christ?  Of course not.  But I have to say that either you haven't listened to the music in much depth or at least weren't paying attention.  I actually like Nirvana and one of the things that made them appealing was that I could detect a little Frippian influence.  I totally dismissed them when they were all the rage.  Smells is really as close as any of the songs get to bubblegum pop with feedbacky guitar. 

But back to the question, there are none.  If I don't like something there's plenty out there to like so what's the point of getting angry at a band?
[/QUOTE] I agree....I live in the Emerald City, we here do not consider him the 2nd coming of Christ...that came from outside Seattle...probably NY critics. Nirvana is good and I agree you have to dig deep. I'm not gonna dive into where the sound came from here, but it came from the lush green forests we have here....but take a listen to Mudhoney.

Why is it that whenever a pretty girl becomes popular in the music world, people start alleging she's a dude? I remember the same thing happened to Gwen Stefani back when No Doubt made it big. I don't understand this.

As far as gimmicks go... *cough* Peter Gabriel *cough*

May be a bit premature to call the Jonas Bros the early Beatles of today until they make a radical change in musical direction like the Beatles did.  I don't know of many bands other than the big B that has done that.  Todd Rundgren had a somewhat brief flirtation with prog with Utopia after a very successful career in pop.  Any others come to mind that I've overlooked?

FYI........Album of the Day on the Zune Marketplace is

Interesting responses. I am a little surprised to see someone say the Smiths. I actually quite like them.

I won't say the band themselves annoy me but Tool fanboys are annoying as hell.  They are in a league of their own.

Similarly, although I love some of Bowie's stuff and the remainder leaves me unmoved, I can only endorse those sentiments re Tool fanboys by saying that the Thin White Duke's terminally trendy  disciples make blinkered anointment an artform. Trapped in a room with one of these critters you will hear things like: David invented Progressive Rock but doesn't play it cost he thinks it's a pile of hippy w**k David was the first person to ever use drugs (which he also invented) David invented sexuality and is biologically both male and female whose respective reproductive organs he own the copyright of. David has an IQ of 1,489 which makes him the equivalent of a taxicab of academics and speaks 24 languages, 4 of which he invented from scratch (the Germans have never even so much as thanked him for theirs) David invented hip-hop, drum'n'bass, reggae, krautrock, trance, ambient and psychedelia but is too self-effacing to claim the credit David can bake, cook, sew, design balloon animals, write novels, direct movies, act and would be a successful stand-up comedian but he doesn't have the time David invented Iggy Pop but forbids the latter from calling him 'dad'

U2 (Bono) - crimes including the wearing of shades indoors and the flashing of numerous pointless V-signs
Lily Allen - A pretend chav singing cod ska
Massive Attack - sixth form politics, annoying "moody" expressions and stupid facial hair

I refuse to acknowledge people who act like U2 didn't exist before 2000 and didn't make incredibly excellent music (up until 1993).
