Bands you just can't stand...

As far as rap goes. Some older school rap is pretty cool. Some Rappers really have a gift to spit Like Danger Doom (MF doom), Lyrics Bourne and such.

Red Hot Chili Peppers have no spice.       Cannot help but agree there (well, I enjoy Cypress Hill though). Rap, as with many past "trends" tends to get "rapped" because of the typical "formula" acts that are pushed out when a particular type of music is the current fad. There are many interesting & intelligent rap artists out there. Unfortunately, the young white teen boy wannabe doesn't care for quality, just for image. Otherwise, the Roots would be the ones outselling 50 Cent & Ludacris. Oh, as an example, think back to the early to mid 70s when the labels put out more than a few execrable prog, hard rock & country rock bands trying to ride the then popular genres to hit status.

Have you heard the Roots' cover of Dylan's "Masters of War"?  Its really interesting, but nothing great, still worth checking out..  About 9mins long or so.  Search for it on Youtube.

Opeth is crap

^ Debrewguy speaks the truth

As for which non-prog rock band I dislike the most... I don't know
If I dislike something, I won't listen to it, won't try finding out more about it, and so it easily slips away from the confined space that is between my ears...

I seem to despise System of a Down. Last week I said like 5 times, at my friends and in the car listening to radio something like "what the hell is this crap, can't we turn the station". And everytime the reply was something like "It's SoaD, and this is great" and they turn it up and sing along.

Yeah, I think, if you can't stand some songs, and they all turn out to be from the same band, that band can't be really good in your opinion. Up to the point where you rather listen to Impaled Nazarene than that certain band. And that band to me is System of a Down. And I hate how they're appreciated and loved because of all the things they do that make them suck in my ears.

Barry Manilow, Michael Bolton, Air Supply, Styx songs like 'Babe' or 'The Best Of Times'- that sappy, saccharine adult contemporary kind of thing sets my teeth on edge!

Have to agree with the nominations of 'coffee table' style dullards like Simply Red, Beautiful South and the like as well.

Most of what NME hypes up to the high heavens as being 'the saviours of rock and roll' (Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, Razorlight et al.) do nothing for me at all- 'the emperor's new clothes' is a phrase that springs to mind. 'Flash in the pan' is another seeing as most only last a few years.

I think the following are annoying:

the Eagles
Billy Joel
Dream Theater
Green Day
Lil' John
Ja Rule
Nelly
Kanye West
50 Cent
Eminem
Ludacris
Styx
Chicago
Christopher Cross
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Eric Clapton's solo career
Ziggy Marley
Brght Eyes
Audioslave
post-1976 Rod Stewart
Slayer
newer Dave Matthews Band work (their early works are well done but I can only handle them in moderation), and hardcore DMB fans (just kidding!).

Anyways thats my thoughts. 

God I hate myself... Almost as much as Bon Jovi!

There's enough hate in the world already.
