they are worse than stated
and hell yes she ripped off tons of missing person's glam

I like Gwen Stefani, but her music can be pretty bad.

I can't deny loving Hella Good, though. Actually I like quite of few of their songs.

[screamingskull]

hell yeah, No Doubt had some great songs!

The one band that really bugs me is............................i guess it would have to be The Brian Jonestown Massacre, not for their music though, which is occasionally excellent.

No doubt was good up to Return of Saturn, but after that they suck.

The Beautiful South! How did I forget about them? More or less everything about them bugs me.

[purplebumblebee]

The usual, Razorlight,
Stereophonics
The Thrills
Oasis
Ocean Colour Scene and their insistence of playing here in Cork once a year
Muse
Whatever singer/group thats on the radio at the mo singing about sweet home alabama, awful stuff

most of them are mentioned (yes Ive read the whole thread)
but most annoying out all of these are this falloutdiscovalentine-dumbasses without any sign of soul in their music and in their haircuts

[noisereductions]

I can't really think of any band I totally hate. I mean, shit like Nickelback is bad music but... eh... I don't know where I'm going with this.

[GrungeMonkey]

dunno if ive posted in this before
but if i have, ill say it again

Guns n fuckin roses

cant stand em

Did anyone else find this an odd statement?

Everyone's close-minded. People are. But when you're that actual person, you assume you're not. I only know one person who's capable of genuinely enjoying any sound, although I'm always impressed with SYG's Herrs Neurotic and Park (in spite of my agreeing with the latter about 0.5% of the time) and their ability to listen to a million things and still be excited.

Oh, and for my vote, the amount Pavement annoy me is entirely disproportionate to how prevalent they are in the world (ie, not very).

I saw a Kid Rock video last night in a drunken stupor and i remembered just what true revulsion is.

Pretty much all the British bands that Channel 4 puts on late at night are all shit.

I don't think that the two posters you mentioned listen to any sound or are excited by every sound, and I still like both a lot. There's hardly a point being made here, why bother?

[louderthanthesun]

i enjoy myself a bit of "math rock" if you will, like Don Caballero and Ghosts and Vodka and the like, but i can't stand bands that are just playing in different time signatures really fast to look cool and different

The point was precisely the point; I know one person who [etc] but I am impressed with [etc]'s strange [-parenthesising-]pathological approach. It's an observation tacked onto a statement.

I feel bad dismissing them all out of hand, theres probably something with real talent lurking somewhere. But i blame Channel 4 for employing Vernon Kaye
