Singers/bands that are very successful and good but you just can't like.

[Icy Gull]

I'll start with Gregory Porter

 

[Glawstergull]

Coldplay- I just can't stand his weedy whiny voice. I like vocalist who have some POWER and range.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Adele. I cannot stand her, her voice or her tracks.

 

[KingstonSeagull]

Muse - They just to me sound like a band that don't really know what they are and just make obvious music for the masses. *shrug*

 

[BBassic]

Muse.

Musically they're fantastic but I can't stand how the singer takes a massive deep breath before each line. I know he has to because of the notes he has to hit but it becomes all I can hear.

I'd love a karaoke version of all their songs.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Coldplay- I just can't stand his weedy whiny voice. I like vocalist who have some POWER and range.

Another vote here, probably for similar reasons.

Also <prepares to be flamed>: Madness.

I hate forced wackiness in any sphere, and they are the absolute kings of it. Don't dislike all of their music as such, though I don't own any of it. I just find their whole persona irritating.

 

[pasty]

U2

Bruce Springsteen

 

[spring hall convert]

The Foo Fighters: They're ok, I'm not sure how successful they would have been if it wasn't for Dave Grohl's other gig and his 'nice guy of rock' personna.
Motorhead: Vastly overrated one trick pony.

 

[carteater]

Ed Sheeran

U2

Blur

Cage the Elephant

etc.
It's quite a long list really...

 

[KZNSeagull]

Adele
Muse
Bruce Springsteen
Michael Jackson
The twit that sang the last James Bond theme tune
Ed Sheeran
Snoop doggy doo or whatever his name is today
Rihanna
Madonna
Nicki Minaj
Spandau Ballet and, of course.......DURAN DURAN!

Loads of others, but that will do for now.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I could go on for days on this thread but the really irritating ones are Coldplay and their lesser spawn (Keane, Snow Patrol), anything by U2 from The Joshua Tree onwards, anything by REM after Green, Coldplay, Bob Dylan, Mumford and Sons, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Simple Minds, anyone who's worked with David Guetta, Luther Vandross, Coldplay, Iron Maiden, Rihanna, Adele, Coldplay, Kanye West and Coldplay.

Did I mention I f***ing hate Coldplay?

All of the above

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I wouldn't say I "don't like them", more "I don't seem to think they are as good as everyone else".

The Who.

There, I said it.

 

[sully]

Bruce Springsteen

AC/DC

Def Leppard

Meat Loaf

Bob Dylan? Snow Patrol?

I'm gonna contraversially throw Oasis in the mix

 

[Guinness Boy]

I also hate 90% of "Britpop". I'll allow a little Blur and all of Cigarettes and Alcohol but all that other stuff it spawned - Sleeper, Supergrass, Feeder, Toploader etc - can't get iin to it. Pulp never made one record I liked either. Ugh.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Bob Dylan? Snow Patrol?

Bob Dylan may be clouded by the fact I saw him live in Sydney and he was dreadful, mumbling and incoherent. Snow Patrol are Coldplay lite. Awful.

 

[BobbySmith]

Music is about opinions, but can never understand why any one likes Madonna, so overrated, did anyone see her on Liveaid singing live ?, awful. Also never understood the love for Oasis, just so boring and any Rap artist, what is that all about?, but I am an old man.

 

[Icy Gull]

I just knew Coldplay would feature heavily. I would like to say I agree but the last two concerts I have watched of theirs on tv have been nothing short of excellent and they certainly have the audience in the palm of their hands with some catchy anthems. As an aside are Jenson Button and Chris Martin related? They both hail from Devon and they look very alike IMO.

Another vote for Luther Vandross, just never got the fuss about him

 

[NooBHA]

Theres not enough space on these boards to list them all but at the top must be ''Take That and Robbie Williams''
