The insipid dullness of bands like Coldplay, Keane and Snow Patrol, who are always being trumpeted as being 'amazing', whereas genuine rock bands are attacked for being 'uncool'. Sorry, if this depressing, whining rubbish is 'cool' then I'm gonna be 'uncool' any day of the week! Faithless...- it's dance/ rap for yuppies, meaning it's a dumbed down version of the already tiresome sentiments in the uncensored rap. Horrid. Soul/rap ballads as sung by Whitney Houston et al. These are truly rancid songs, with some of the most hideously contrived singing you'll ever hear. 'Manufactured' boy/girl bands. I admit, it's fun to watch the TV programmes to hurl abuse and laugh at the knowingly terrible entrants, but the music the winners make is so anodyne and dull, you have to wonder who buys it!

Agreed with everything except the bolded above...Keane and Coldplay are two of my fav bands!

Can't stand all this pretentious pop-bands who thinks they are alternative or cool or something. Can't come up with any good examples though, only swedish crap bands that I hope none outside the country have heard of.

The worst thing EVER in music is this american-idol and fame factory bands. Can one even call it music or is it just a product? Likely the later.

Of course, all of us here prefer The Ramones.

I knew somebody was going to say that he knew that somebody was going to say that....

Hate Threads are funny from time to time, IMO. Besides, as Woody Allen once said: "Isn't it wonderful we hate the same things?"
