Bands you just can't stand...

     Agreed.

Amy Lee has a good studio voice.  However, I've found that her live performances are terrible.   I do find it amusing that you say she can't hold a note, but apparently don't mind the singer from After Forever who can't even hit a note right a lot of the time .  She has a lovely voice, but her pitch is off a lot.

Anyway, rock bands I can't stand:

Dream Theater (most of the time) - don't like their songwriting
The Presidents of the United States of America - don't like their songwriting or their playing

^^ Yup. :)  I feel it is my duty to respond to any post when I have an alternative point of view.... or maybe I'm just insane.... that's probably more likely. ;)

I can't stand ACDC or at least when people call Angus Young a great guitar player  ....he's been playing the same thing for 30 years now

I'm not a Slayer fan at all.  I think they are overrated.  They pretty much played motorhead and venom while stealing king diamond's lyrics.  Not to mension their personal  religious hypocricies.

I hate almost all black metal music. Ideology and principals have clouded any sort of musical evolution or change within itself.  Which is fine, just not my cup of Grey.

I don't like Gym Class Heros.  Supertramp should never be recycled into a comforming radio hit single (imo).

I don't like Gym Class Heros.  Supertramp should never be recycled into a comforming radio hit single (imo). I agree with every word of that, especially that last sentence. I agree with all of that, but i like AC/DC ok, they are a little sold out though I mainly hate Rap, mostly cause people call it music when it is not. I hate disco and 70s pop singers, cause it is just idiots music I also hate with a passion Nu(noo) Metal, bands like Slipknot, they have 8 or 9 members and still still cant make music. and finally Death metal, simple music(soo simple its worth hating), crappy singing whats not to hate? the only band not qorth hating is Opeth, i dont really like them but they are progressive players so they arent quite death metal

You are obviously free to think what you want and like or dislike whatever it is you choose however you should know the following things:

Rap is music.

Many people who like disco and 70's pop singers are not actually idiots.  Also while disco may not be your cup of tea, it did influence a hell of a lot of music that was actually really good.

Slipknot does make music, its just really bad.

and finally, death metal is hardly simple.  Yes it is simple in structure sometimes in that a stereotypical death metal song is based on a fast riff, cookie monster vocals, and drum blasts and a speedy solo towards the end. That's just a stereotypical death metal song and not only that they tend to move quite fast for several minutes (not always an easy thing to do whether you're the drummer, guitarist or bassist).  Singing like that isn't easy either.  Go listen to Cryptopsy and tell me death metal is simple.  They do all sorts of wacky sh*t.

Anything from the following genres:

Any band that's on too loud at 5 am.

I cannot stand The White Stripes (I still can't see the big deal about them), Marilyn Manson, Eminem, and ZZ Top. On the more frightening side, I have a hard time comprehending such a satanic band like Gorgoroth having any sort of a fan base. Really sad to see music being reduced to something like this.
