| No band grinds my gears more than Nirvana. I know it's cliche, but I want to rant whenever I see a fellow teenager who thinks that Kurt Cobain is the second coming of Christ. I also hate how he name-dropped good artists like King Crimson as his influences, when his music sounded NOTHING like theirs. Bubblegum pop with a feedbacky guitar. |

Yeah, I've run across Nirvana heads and was inevitably offended ("better than Pink Floyd,") but you don't hear them like Green Day blared over the store speakers (where I work).  Amazing, but I just googled "Bad Day" to check before I slammed Greenday for it and I found out that its someone else. I guess I hate them a little less...... NOT!

I think maybe 'irritates' might be nearer the mark ? 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 Tool - the irony cannot be lost on its members surely ?, Prog Metal's answer to Whitesnake or Moby Dick Marillion - an anagram of Am I ill Ron ? Bauhaus - the Bowie fan club's karaoke team semi finalists 1979 REM - what 'deep' is for non-swimmers The Stooges - stripping to the waist while drunk becomes performance art Gong (Radio Gnome Variety) - proof that electricity should be treated like a controlled substance Frank Zappa (humour) - giggling schoolboys put in charge of detention class Roy Harper - sweet smelling white liberal angst with unsightly facial hair -------------

Splendid - I wish you'd do some more. The descriptions of Roy Harper and the Stooges, for example, are spot on! Can't agree with you on Gong, though, but maybe that's because I discovered them when I was a spotty schoolboy. As for Zappa, well, SOME of his humour is a little unsubtle, but surely you see the beauty of "The Illinois Enema Bandit" or "Broken Hearts Are for a****les"? |

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.

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...!!! ------------- |

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. -------------

Just stand away from the pit then  I went to see Decapitated last night and I went in the pit towards the end, but during the beginning and middle I just stood back from it because I didn't really feel like it. Worked perfectly for me.Question also: why is there always some big ass bald guy in every pit going nuts? Do they hire the same guy everytime? Does he get paid for it? Where does he live?

Back to the question......I don't get angry at a band.....many pop music I just don't get because we all know these people will be gone next year.....I can appreciate they are trying to make some kind of statement, but I don't get it. Will the Jonas Bros be making albums 30 yrs from now??

Interesting responses. I am a little surprised to see someone say the Smiths. I actually quite like them.
I also used to like Nirvana quite a lot. This was before I became a proghead, of course. I haven't listened to them in ages. I actually preferred the more raw, aggressive sound of Bleach and In Utero to the more commercial Nevermind. But, yeah, a generation of kids thinking Cobain invented rock and roll does annoy me somewhat, when there are so many better players out there.
Green Day annoy me since they became massive. I didn't actually mind them pre-American Idiot when they weren't completely in the mainstream.
I don't hate U2 or Coldplay, per se, but they do write music with no real ambition. It's just formulaic and written for mass consumption, not for the art. A shame, because like Green Day, U2 were OK before they became massive.
Emo, like Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance, annoys me to no end. I just don't get it. I'm not even that old. I'm 27. All these kids wearing eyeliner, it just goes right over my head. And screamo? I find it unlistenable. ------------- Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while... |

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 ------------- "And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!"

Gong: Never understood the appeal behind this band. I have listened to both Angel's Egg and You numerous times and still just can't get into their music. I actually prefer the little that I've heard of the Gong-Expresso material. I know their fans are extremely devoted and there are a great many of them here, so I guess I'm on the minority here. -------------

I refuse to acknowledge people who act like U2 didn't exist before 2000 and didn't make incredibly excellent music (up until 1993). ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

Man, for me, they are playing the same song since they begun... and yes, I know they discography, my brother has like 10 album of them, especially the old ones... but for me it's like the same song over and over again... and according to you, they have 17 years of doing bad music... it's enough to angers somebody don't you think...??? ------------- |

Word  . I saw them live in Rome on the Joshua Tree tour, and they smoked. Then they started going downhill, but this doesn't mean they never made good music. |

Would you say that Achtung Baby was a step down from The Joshua Tree? I think that's their crowning achievement. |

The 101 black metal bands posing as Satanists and God-knows-what-else really irritates me too. They try and act like they're all underground and opposite to the mainstream but with all the make-up etc, they're just mostly begging for attention. Yes, there are occasional bands that can create atmospheric music but I can't get into them solely because of the ridiculous lyrics, sometimes even National Socialist in nature. Oh and I don't understand how anyone can call Vark (aka Burzum) a hero/influence/legend or anything like that. Not only did he admit Nazi views, go around actually burning churches (another stupid idea), but he actually murdered someone in brutal fashion. He quite simply doesn't deserve to be listened to. ------------- And lo, the mighty riffage was played and it was good

While they are not exactly current, Spandau Ballet. For the simple reason that, for those of us stuck in desk jobs who want a career in rock music, the last thing I would do if I get famous is make the band dress in suits that would be appropriate for a job at a bank or as a customer service rep.

In a manner of speaking.... Bono didn't always wear sunglasses indoors and the band once made genuinely inspired music. People don't even know about October, Zooropa, and probably not even Achtung Baby, which is a far more moving album then many on this website. People see one South Park episode and that becomes the reality for them. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

What? 4 albums in 17 years? It's not like they're crapping out dross all the time. And they've been generic since 1993, but they've still put out good songs. And I really, really don't think you know their discography. Go ahead and say the songs on Achtung Baby and Zooropa are anything like what came before in their catalog. All you need is ears to tell the difference. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

I can assure you Stonebeard that I was being irritated by Boneo long before South Park came along, more for his persona than the actual music. The crucifixion poses for a start, like "I'm suffering for you my children". Way more pompous and pretentious than anything 70s prog came up with IMHO. I thought punk was supposed to have put a stop to that sort of thing? My favourite U2 story is the one where they played a gig in Scotland: Bono [stops music and clicks fingers]: "Every time [click] I click my fingers [click] a child in Africa [click]...dies." Voice in crowd: "Well dont f*ckin do it then!" ------------- "And now...on the drums...Mick Underwooooooooood!!!" "He's up the pub" |

| I'm gonna agree with Nirvana. It's another really generic 90's band, that for some reason gets singled at as being way more than they were. Simple songs, cliche' lyric content, average musicians, repetitive songs.... |

First: I don't have heard one song of them and then think they are bad... they have been throwing out singles every year and yes, all that songs sounds the same...
Second: if you don't believe I know their discography, that's your problem. You don't live in my house and don't have spend entirely nights hearing them because your brother love them... so, I don't just have heard the singles through the radio and friends, but their albums because of my brother.
Third: I even saw one live DVD from them... and the band sounds OK but Bono is pretentious, and he believes he is a Messiah... his voice is weak and lame... that's my opinion about him as a musician... now, if you like him... whatever... is your problem... I don't and the problem is that I can't scape from all the media attention that they have...
And, I think and most of the fans of U2 always gave me the impression that they really see them with mellancolly, like they really appreciate their teen years and fills like U2 was better... but for whoever stranger to their cathaloge, U2 is always the same... I'm not sure about that, it's about subjective things... but U2 play very pop and weak and that's something that you cannot denied... so... ------------- |
