I can't quite muster up hatred towards The Grateful Dead (bizarre fanbase, well that's a little easier) simply because Robert Hunter *did* write some good songs. I can't quite muster up hatred towards Phish because I have to admit that, while in the throes of my first LSD trip, that song about bouncing balls around a room sounded pretty damn good. Then again, I was also breathing in technicolor at the time......
Other than those two quasi-exemptions, I fucking hate hippie jam bands.
Bands/Artists you straight up and down can't stand

Ah, a long list indeed (strangely enough no jam bands --mainly because, since few of them have hits, I never actually have to listen to them, and the Grateful Dead did produce a few terrific songs).
Some of these now have a certain campy charm, but they still suck. Most of them are older because I now have the pleasure of avoiding music.
Men without Hats
Men at Work
The Little River Band
Journey
Styx (except for the Dr. Demento classic "Plexiglass Toilet")
Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera and all the other over-singers of today
Air Supply
Bon Jovi
Rush
All Hair Bands and every band that ever played Gazzari's.
And, because I live in So. Cal, every one of those modern Norteno bands or whatever they call it and the makers of Narcocorridos. It's amazing how thin the line is between cool Tex-Mex and Latin-American music and really, really annoying and shrill music from those very same region, played on the very same instruments....And you gotta wonder about the glorifying druglords thing....
I'm sure there's about 10,000,000,000,000 more I'll think of later....

Better than Midnight Oil... humourless self-righteous souless anthemic twaddle. At least Queen had memorable melodies and Freddie didn't move like an ananally retentive giraffe-necked robot knobhead!Tim(e) wrote:Queen - I will never forgive them for Bohemian Rhapsody ("tight trousers oh tight trousers blah blah blah blah blah...") and We Are the Champions. Pompous pricks pretty well sums them up for me.

Every "Seven Mary Three Blink 182 Sevendust" loser with a fucking number in their name band to sprout since the late 90's. Die, die, die, damn it, die. Or at least learn more than three fucking chords.
Pretty much all of today's rap. I'll admit to dropping it like it's hot at a club every now and then, but Lil Jon should be beaten. P Diddy is useless. The Ying Yang Twins can't even spell their own fucking name correctly. Snoop should be forced into rehab. Real rappers like Common and CeeLo are swept aside for this bullshit.
Usher. Usher wants to be Michael Jackson before he became a white woman. And he's awfully damn cocky for someone whose head is shaped like a Milk Dud.

Actually, yes he did in his own peculiar way (which involved a sort of strut).... and the hair, and the glitter, and the... oh, the horror!...and Freddie didn't move like an ananally retentive giraffe-necked robot knobhead!
