Are there any bands or artists that NOBODY hates?

[Phillycat]

I'm trying to think. Johnny Cash, right? Nobody hates Johnny Cash, surely. Neil Young? Probably somebody hates Neil Young. The Stones? Led Zeppelin? Frank Zappa? Marvin Gaye? If you hate Marvin Gaye, there's probably something wrong with you...

[Taverner]

1. I agree with you about Marvin

YOU try listening to "What's Going On" and not be moved....

[RedStateShame]

12. The band I'm in

Of course, nobody hates us because nobody cares about us, but nevertheless, why mince words?

[billyskank]

2. The Bee Gees

As it says in Wayne's World,

"Led Zep never made songs that everybody liked. No, they left that to the Bee Gees." :hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. I fucking hate the Bee Gees.

Can't stand 'em and their popcorn bubblegum shit music.

[billyskank]

9. Well, you would

:P

[Burma Jones]

45. What??? you don't love Maaaaaaasachuuuuuuusettes....

The Bee Gees stink on ice.....

[flvegan]

3. Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem

How, I says, how could anyone hate a band of Muppets? Animal...Best. Drummah. EVAH!

[progmom]

30. yay!

:thumbsup:

[LSK]

4. i think Johnny Cash is safe

Hes cool for country music haters - they make an exception. And then theres folks who ONLY listen to country (like my dad :eyes: ) so he wins them over too.

[azmouse]

8. I'm not a fan of any country music artist.

I don't like Johnny Cash. sorry

[mark414]

10. johnny cash ain't country

johnny cash is johnny cash

[azmouse]

13. You could name him Fuzzy Dimplebottom

and I still wouldn't listen to his music.

[Phillycat]

11. Wow.

Well, there you go. There must not be anyone who is safe.

Have you actually HEARD Johnny Cash? The Man in Black? The Highwayman? JOHNNY CASH??

[azmouse]

16. I wasn't born yesterday.

Yes I know who he is. I don't care for his music.

[mark414]

18. so then what do you listen to

gregorian chants? pots and pans banging together?

[azmouse]

Any bands I name would certainly be disliked by someone here.

So why bother?

[Oeditpus Rex]

51. Gregorian chants!

Pie Iesu domine, dona e ist requiem...

bonk

[tinfoil tiaras]

5. The Beatles maybe?

...or Jimi Hendrix

[Phillycat]

7. I know MANY people who hate the Beatles.

I don't know any that don't like Hendrix though.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

37. Here!

I've never gotten/understood Hendrix.

He's not bad, but I would never willingly put on an album to listen to. (I could always think of about a thousand other things I'd rather listen to.)

[Arugula Latte]

39. I'm going to start disliking him ... just to be difficult.

:D

[bertha katzenengel]

14. The Carpenters. Although admittedly one has to be of a certain age

to appreciate their sound and their energy.

RIP Karen.

[pitohui]

i hate the carpenters

i am sorry to say it but she didn't die a moment too soon to suit me, i know, i'm terrible, but i hate that kind of music, just hate it

"energy"???????

[bertha katzenengel]

27. Yes, energy.

Like I said - of a certain age. Perhaps I don't mean just chronologically.

[Phillycat]

23. Hell, *I* hate the Carpenters. :)

Sorry Bertha.

[sakabatou]

15. You might have to go non-domestic to answer the question

[Phillycat]

20. Suggestions?

[sakabatou]

28. Many

Yoko Kanno (Almost always a good choice)
The Seatbelts
The Pillows
Asian Kung-Fu Generation
Maaya Sakamoto
TiA

[sarge43]

17. Beach Boys? n/t

[RedStateShame]

22. Man, I'm a fan and I hate some of the Beach Boys material....

Particuarly that god-awful era that gave us "Kokomo" and John Stamos on drums....

[Phillycat]

24. Oof, Kokomo.

And I am a fan too.

[pitohui]

19. nobody hates tom petty

lots of people hate neil young, btw, a southern man don't need him around anyhow

[Phillycat]

21. Tom Petty, that might be a strong guess.

Anyone hate Tom Petty here? Speak now or forever hold your peace!

[azmouse]

25. He can't sing any better than Johnny Cash can. I don't like him.

You asked, so I'm replying.

[mark414]

29. do you like anything?

did someone blow a loud horn in your ear as a child?

no but seriously i'm really curious now, what DO you like

[azmouse]

32. I have eclectic tastes. Here are a few to keep you happy.

The Eagles
Nat King Cole
Van Halen (w/David Lee Roth)
The Beatles
Aerosmith
Aretha Franklin
Elton John
Rod Stewart


And I bet someone out there hates every single one of them.

[Phillycat]

31. Okay, so how DO you feel about Marvin Gaye?

[azmouse]

34. He's ok.

[LSK]

50. my dad would

For him if its not country or 50s music, it doesnt exist.

[RedStateShame]

26. The Kinks?

I've never heard a cross word said of them. Of course, I don't get out that much.

[Phillycat]

36. I love the Kinks.

Let's open it up to the floor! Anyone here hate the Kinks?

[MiniMandaRuth]

33. Pink?

She's a great female artist.

[Phillycat]

35. There are probably a thousand people IN THIS VERY LOUNGE

who hate Pink. There are lots of people who hate pop music like that. It needs to be someone more...universally respected, I think.

[MiniMandaRuth]

38. Hmmm... I really don't think it's pop music,

because unlike other artists, she actually has soul behind her music. They probably have my problem. "Oh, it's heavy metal, so I'd hate it and I'm not going to try it" (I do that all the time, and I'm sure people make that assumption about Pink)

[LynneSin]

40. Pink is good and even came out with an anti-Bush song

Pink - Dear Mr. President Lyrics
(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why

Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were
gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye

Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you


I also love stupid Girls and Get this Party Started

[azmouse]

41. How about Tony Bennett? Frank Sinatra?

Or Nat King Cole? Or Natalie Cole?

The thing is, someone is going to dislike any band or singer you could list.
Some won't even know who the band or singer is. I don't know many of the current singers because I don't listen to those music stations. Teens won't know singers from even 20 or 30 yrs ago.

But it's still fun to see people get all emotional because they just can't grasp the idea of someone not liking what they like.


Hey if you like it don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

[Phillycat]

42. Well, that's kinda why I asked the question.

I wondered if there was one artist on which we could agree. I thought Johnny Cash would be the default, because honestly, after ten years of working in the music business and a lifetime of being a music lover, you are the first person I've ever met who doesn't like him. You are definitely unique. :D

[azmouse]

46. Really?

Well I knew I was unique.
I wasn't saying I disliked his music to be difficult. I really was never a fan.
I bet my mother doesn't care for his music either so maybe it's genetic. :shrug:

[Burma Jones]

43. Willie Nelson and Hank Williams

I have never met anyone that hated Willie Nelson or Hank Williams.....

[taterguy]

47. I'll bet some DEA types aren't big Willie Nelson fans :)

[RandomKoolzip]

44. I hate Johnny Cash.

Never liked him. Plus, I don't dig how he sings all his songs off-key.


Yeah, I'm alone here, I know it.

[maxsolomon]

48. nobody hates JS Bach

but his kids? THEY SUCK!

[maxsolomon]

49. dupe

self delete

[HughBeaumont]

52. Stevie Wonder?

Something by him might be loved by every DUer.

[maxsolomon]

53. higher ground

that's about it.

he is undeservedly sainted.

[Rabrrrrrr]

59. Ewwwwwwww. Stevie Wonder - great musician,

but he plays shit I don't like.

Oh, God, I'm actually cringing thinking of his music.

[WoodyTobiasJr]

54. The Smiths, everyone loves The Smiths

[azmouse]

55. Nobody's mentioned Ray Charles yet

Does anyone NOT like Ray Charles?

[Divameow77]

56. Otis Redding or

Etta James?

I agree with Stevie Wonder though, how could someone not like Stevie?

[MsKandice01]

57. Earth Wind & Fire

If you hate them, you aren't human.

[auburngrad82]

58. Pink Floyd

In honor of Syd Barrett.

[Schema Thing]

60. Steely Dan. Nobody hates em, they loathe them.

love 'em or loathe 'em; few are loath to loathe 'em. :D

[lizziegrace]

61. Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong n/t
