Is there one artist/album that nobody on ILM likes?

Just wondering...

Skrewdriver?

so many punchlines

Not familiar with their work.

Reef

Macklemore is still waiting for his critical reappraisal.

i was under the impression that all of ILM hates Frank Turner.

not that anyone cares what the ILM hivemind thinks ..

BMG Chrysalis has announced that it has agreed a new publishing deal with indie-folk singer-songwriter Frank Turner. The contract was apparently signed after something of a biding war, as Turner prepares to play his biggest show to date, headlining Wembley Arena next month.

Says BMG Chrysalis UK VP of A&R Ben Bodie: "This is a significant signing of an artist who is clearly on the verge of a major breakthrough. If you look at what is happening in the album market, it's all about proper artists with real songs. Frank is a real contemporary artist, an exceptional songwriter with a unique vision all his own".

nothing illusory about that guy

Never heard of the dude

beyoncé!

i mean if you like beyoncé you prob don't count as a person anyway, sorry

Rockist Git Frank Turner and the horror of the live version of "I Still Believe"

I'll sign up for the FT hatred!

What about that chubby red-haired fellow with the dreadlocks from England?

Nickelback?

"One man plays Bohemian Rhapsody, the other man screams"

xp: nope. some dude.

washa flocka brain (some dude) wrote this on thread best mainstream rock radio hit of 2010 on board I Love Music on Jan 6, 2011

other ones i like that were too recent or not big enough to get on the Billboard lists:
My Chemical Romance - “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)”
Linkin Park - “Waiting For The End”
Cavo - “Crash”
Nickelback - “This Afternoon”
Green Day - “Last Of The American Girls”
Good Charlotte - “Like It’s Her Birthday”
Soundgarden - “Black Rain”

i like "California Gurls" and all but i'm pretty good and over it by now, although i'm impressed at KP getting the first track on 2 NOWs in a row, i wonder if that's the first time anyone's done that.

improbably, I'm torn between voting for Nickelback or Bieber.

That's why it was more a question -- Nickelback seem universally hated but there's at least a couple of people here who I could see liking them.

I don't hate Nickelback, either

Old Time Relijun? Andrew Lloyd Webber? Counting Crows?

lol Counting Crows is a good candidate, although I think some dude likes them, too

Creed? You'd have to be pretty contrarian to like them.

Counting Crows are a great suggestion

Staind?

*hits buzzer*

Sublime?

Insane Clown Posse?

Michael Bolton?

Winger?

Don't be harshing on Winger now.

I like "Madeleine".

I think this question will have more answers than its inverse.

Kenny G?

Sublime deserve a special place in hell

Mumford & Sons.

Insane Clown Posse?

which era of Insane Clown Posse?

jesus-era

Sublime deserve a special place in hell

had never heard of them before but can get behind the haters having seen their photo.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/32/Sublime.jpg

this is clearly the beatles.

Who is that other group from California who sounds like Sublime? I also deeply hate them.

SugarRay

jesus-era

that doesn't really narrow it down!

btw super super SUPER envious that anagram had never heard of Sublime before now

Creed's first album is defensible, in terms of late 90s hard rock. They weren't completely awful until the second album.

Also, I like the first two Counting Crows albums quite a bit.

there is def some early counting crows luv on ilm

Sublime had their moments.

I still kind of like "Santeria".

but "Date Rape"

I can maybe live with a few defenders of Sublime, but Sugar Ray?? It has to be Sugar Ray

I don't know, I used to really love "Mean Machine".

and it's still a great song

i'm sorry dan but grandavis won that one

now we all win

haha did not expect lakini's juice debate itt

live eats it

The lols of the "I Alone" video make them worthwhile for me.

I am not defending Crazy Frog but know he had some fans here in 2005.

"you forgot your drums, dillhole"

xp

Hmmm, lols justifying the awfulness of a band is an interesting concept. Somebody has to set the bar low I guess:

The singer's faux intensity in the "I Alone" video is awesome. It's like Rollins & The Blowfish.

just ftr I will not and would never defend "The Dolphin's Cry"

Rollins & The Blowfish

irl lol

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

dudes's bangs are out. of. control.

After a concert at The Palazzo in Las Vegas in June 2009, Live announced that the band would take a two-year "hiatus" to work on other projects. Kowalczyk recorded his solo album Alive and the other band members formed a group with Kevin Martin and Sean Hennessy of Candlebox called The Gracious Few.[14] That band proceeded to record a self-titled debut album in California for release in September 2010.

On November 30, 2009, Taylor revealed that the "hiatus" was more likely a permanent split.[15] He alleged that the reasons for the break-up included Kowalczyk's demand of a $100,000 "lead singer bonus" at the 2009 Pinkpop Festival and a 2005 contract making Kowalczyk the sole signatory of Live's Black Coffee Publishing company without the knowledge of the rest of the band.[15] These sentiments were conveyed in an e-mail to fans from the band (minus Kowalczyk) via the mailing list at FriendsofLive.com and on Chad Taylor's official blog. Taylor did, however, leave open the possibility of Live re-forming with a new vocalist.

At the end of May 2010, the other three members of Live filed a lawsuit against Kowalczyk and their former business manager in the New York State Supreme Court.[16] Kowalczyk was asked about the lawsuit in a September 2010 interview but declined to elaborate, saying, "There is a (court) case that is pending, which is why I really don't want to get into it."[16] In June 2011, Kowalczyk told The Salt Lake Tribune, "I had simply come to the end of a chapter in my life and wanted to spread my wings and move beyond what I had been doing, in the same way, for almost 20 years. As far as the allegations that were leveled at me and purported as the reason for the breakup, they were all absolutely untrue. I have no plans to work with those individuals again. The spirit of Live is alive and well in my performances and my new material."[7]

that is amazing

Dude's everything is out of control xxpost.

major tude on that guy!

wowwww

xp i meant that old video but wowww

"Spread my wings and move beyond"

Damn, he even talks like his nonsense lyrics.

"Pain Lies On The Viewer's Side"

haha I meant to bold that too

(xp to EZ Snappin)

I kind of like "Hey Soul Sister" by Train.

Bon Jovi must be strong candidates for sheer indurance and absolute crapness

As for albums, I'd dare anyone here to rep for the Beach Boys' Summer in Paradise, except maybe for use as a backing soundtrack whilst scrolling through the Weirdos + Mike Love thread

Kenny G is the correct answer. Anyone defending him is obviously trolling and would stick a q-tip on their ears until it bleeds if forced to listen to a full album of his.

Bieber > Kenny G

ahhhhywaaahhhhhyeaahhhhhhyeahhhhhh

callllling alll ayanayangelllllsssss

Kenny G is horrible, but "Songbird" was passable, kind of.

Threads that are about white dudes playing the blues seems to historically bring out the razors on ILM. I think the venom level and total weird random fandom brawls don't happen anywhere near as much now that you got to register for the site. I know that crazy the Stevie Ray Vaughn thread that got locked up and I think even that multi-thousand post Dave Matthews thread got a lot of live and at times laughs from fans of the artists stumbling upon it and putting their 2 cents in from search engines. There are also alot of UK people that have reasons to hate Eric Clapton other than his shite music since the early 70s that most people in the US haven't heard about.

word to those suggesting bon jovi. but this italian guy who sent his mp3 to my blog email address the other day is so clearly worse than anything that's been mentioned in here

what's wrong with bon jovi?

nothing at all.

quoth nakamura "sheer endurance and absolute crapness." middle aged women still lose their shit for this guy. and primetime news programs still fucking interview him. what could there possibly be left to say?????

I'm a cowboy. On a steel horse I ride. I'm wanted (wanted!) dead or alive.

The first 4 Bon Jovi records are good to great, with amazing singles. Don't care what happened later, don't understand hating the fun stuff.

middle aged women still lose their shit for this guy.

this is a bad thing?

mit hamine

I've only heard two or three tunes by Kenny G, but I thought they were okay. Certainly not as bad as his reputation would suggest.

Kenny G kinda reminds me of Jan Garbarek tbrr

Someone said Skrewdriver ages ago; why are we still talking?

some people rep for pre-NF Skrewdriver iirc

Talking of which, I saw this a couple days ago:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Punk-Chiswich-Records-NS-11-Youre-so-dumb-Blackpool-Oi-Skinhead-1st-press-/290681471211?pt=UK_Records&hash=item43adf740eb

Note the band name obscured.. (This being the 'pre-' incarnation)

I guess ebay has a blanket ban...

<i>Kenny G kinda reminds me of Jan Garbarek tbrr</i>

Kenny G sounds like Jan Garbarek might have done if he got a bit lazy and thought earning a lot of money easily would be nicer than having to come up with new artistic ideas all the time.

Grrrrr!

How about Dave Matthews Band? Short lasting Googlers don't count.

Geir i love Garbarek, i was just saying cos Kenny G's tone had that faint echo i cdn't hate Kenny G

does anyone on here rep for lenny kravitz

that album with "It Ain't Over Til It's Over" on is full of dope stoner soul iirc
