My favourite genre, prog rock, annoys the hell out of me sometimes. Not to mention what I feel about stuff I actually don't like.

Percussion, sir!

Well.. this is my endless post then...

U2... it's not like I have the freedom to ignore them... but they seem to put out the same d*mn song for the last 15 years and nobody has notice it... and I hear them in the radio, in the tv, with friends, with no-so-friends... but is almost impossible to scape from them... yes... Bono's voice and pretentious rockstar attitude annoys me... all the time...

Coldplay... when a singer, sings, well I think everything works... but when a singer weeps and whine and pretend to be cool and politically smart... you have Coldplay...

Nickelback, the Calling and all the bands that sounds the same... I was worry about learning to play the guitar... then after Nirvana's revolution, you don't need to learn to actually play... just learn 3 random chords and you are a musician... just awful...

then, whatever boys band like N'Sync or something like that... Oh... and random hip hop as well... all that collaborations between singers named by two letters like "Dboy feat. Timbaland"... annoying stuff...!!!

Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

MUSE. Because they are trying way too hard to be prog and have forgotten how to write what they are actually good at.

I'd say they were more proggy when they didn't try ala OOS/Absolution.

And lo, the mighty riffage was played and it was good

For me its green day #*&Y@*

My blood boils when I hear them and their stupid nasaly singing and pret.. ahahahahahH!H!!!

I think maybe 'irritates' might be nearer the mark ? Wink

Whatever, there are a few artists who put this rodents 'tits in the wringer' (so to speak) namely:

Dream Theater - the US spelling conceit alone is sufficient without even hearing them Again... It's not a spelling mistake when: a) the band wants it , and, mostly, B) a whole COUNTRY's language and literature have it... Wink

Tool - the irony cannot be lost on its members surely ?, Prog Metal's answer to Whitesnake or Moby Dick Tool's fanboyism angers me...
Marillion - an anagram of Am I ill Ron ? They anger me after Brave and with the exception of the last two...

Frank Zappa (humour) - giggling schoolboys put in charge of detention class Clap

Actually, his music angers me like none...

Some of you may want to kill me, but if there is a band that irritates me, that my ears cannot stand, it has to be The Mars Volta.

The first album is good, and the most recent is quite decent.... But for the 3 in between:

I have to agree with Micky that threads like these anger me more than any band angers me.

However, what does anger me are awards programs like the Grammy's that give out all of their awards based entirely on popularity/record company suggested acts. Although I can't deny that there might be some talent amongst the award winning musicians, many of PA's musicians have more talent in their little pinkies than the combination of all of the award elected nominees combined. I'm sorry, but dressing up in freaky costumes does not make Lady GaGa experimental or worth listening to. Beyonce may have a great voice (matter of opinion) and dance moves and costumes that could make porn stars blush, but really, I wouldn't be caught dead with a Beyonce album. It makes me sad to think that folks like these get so rich putting out garbage, when there are so many great musicians within our ranks that are "Starving" artists.

I'd probably have to say the band that pisses me off the most is Pantera. According to tons of metalheads I know they're the greatest contribution to mankind since ever. They're influential no doubt, seeing as they've influenced some of my favorite bands, but I really don't like their music.

It doesn't help that their lead guitarist (good mind you) was killed and now there's an endless fanboy praise for Dimebag. He had chops, but he's not nearly as good as his endless fanboys praise him to be.

As well as all their imitators, such as Hinder and Saving Abel and Theory Of a Nickelback Clone, I mean Theory Of a Deadman.

I absolutely hate hate hate hate hate The Whirlwind by Transatlantic and so I can't help but feel some antipathy towards the band. As I've said before, I don't think I've ever seen a better example of brilliantly talented musicians playing absolutely terrible music. That it's considered one of the best of '09 just makes me even more bilious.

Funny... I think Lady Gaga is extremely talented and I enjoy her music a lot. I can't stand Lily Allen, however.

Here's another vote for Lady Gaga, partly because of the current saturation/overexposure, but mainly for the overt sleaze factor, the idiotic lyrics and the simplistic, unoriginal musical style.

I love Lady Gaga. The only hate I have is with the Grammys as a whole because those are popularity contests...also, I have a beef with prog fans who should know better than to write off entire genres of music such as hip hop because they only heard some singles on the radio.

Lady GaGa is trying really hard to be like Madonna - Lily Allen is a genuine original talented singer and songwriter who doesn't have to try hard at being anybody except herself....I
