Band That Angers You Most

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'

Yes I was... well... not about audioslave... they are really a bad band... but I was joking about your collection... is that OK...???

Yes,  I just this moment edited my post:  I realised you were jesting.  I have never heard Audioslave- I will look out for them 

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.

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.

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.

This is the soooooooound of my soul!
Oh, how I love to hate them.

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....
