80s/90’s band you utterly despise

Lots of feelings are going to get hurt in this thread

i know it’s cliche, but creed. but not just creed, also all the other bands that decided to take pearl jam’s style and make it more poppy.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 did a bit where Mike turns into “the most repuslive thing in the universe” — Adam Duritz.

Unfortunately, I can’t find a clip.

Is Carlos Santana featuring Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20 a band?

Smashmouth

Back when CDs were the thing and were nearly $20 a pop, my wife bought me a Kid Rock album for XMas one year (this was when Cowboy was airing pretty regularly on rock radio).

I put it in my car CD player while we roamed one Saturday afternoon with no specific destination. As I listened, I felt a building sense of… anger, I guess. This repulsion mounted and swelled with each song. I mean physical effects, rolling my eyes, exasperated sighs, scoffing & sneering! My wife had paid good money for this absolute rancid steaming wet pile of dog shit (through no fault of her own).

Finally, I had to pull over into an empty parking lot. I took the CD out of the player, put it in its case, opened the door, stepped out, and vigorously smashed it with my heel many times until it was rendered utterly destroyed. It was cathartic. I felt unburdened and lighter. All was once again right in the world. It was the single worst listening experience I’ve ever had. I apologized to my wife, but she was just laughing her ass off and oh-my-god-ing in delighted amusement at the show. I’ve never had such a visceral response to music before or since.

THAT is the 90s band/”artist” I *despise*!

Coldplay

Nickleback

Hanson

Bush. Well Gavin Rossdale anyhow, and Bush by proxy. I never saw a bigger group of poseurs who’d do anything, say anything to be famous.

I could never get into the Red Hot Chili Peppers, not a single song. I wouldn’t say I hate them, I just don’t get it.

It’s my understanding Flea is awesome, does some good charity work in LA. He was also in The Big Lebowski.

ETA: I’m not a musician but my friends who are say Flea is a great bass player.

Rascal Flatts can suck it too

I recently had to go into a very sad, messy Walmart and they started playing “Round Here” by Counting Crows… it was so gdamn depressing! Ugh

Crash Test Dummies. Every time Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm came on the radio, I had to fight the urge to veer into oncoming traffic.

Limp Bizkit.
