I Love Music's Most Hated Musicians Nominations Thread

maybe this thread (and poll to come) will combat the sentiment that this place has gotten boring.

What musicians do we hate the most? Our loathing and contempt is what really unites us here.

Gonna start the nominations thread with One Direction. God, those guys grind my gears!

considering how consistently negative the thread about her is:

Amanda Palmer

then there's Mr. Wife Abuser

Chris Brown

i dont think i have heard a one direction song

You know who I really hate? Manufactured crap like Adele. I don't like Hawkwind either. Actually, I do, but I'm nominating them anyway.

Daft Punk

Well, let's get the obvious out of the way:

Dave Matthews Band : Name Your Reasons Why They Are So Bad & Hated.

is playing at maaah house, maaah house

LCD Soundsystem, in case that wasn't clear!

oh Snrub, you ruined my xpost! TMBG on the noms list too then

we spent a lot of time talking about how they were racist:

Cocorosie

pomplemoose

Of course, nobody was more opinionated than the drummer for the rock band Gay Dad

The Lumineers

coldplay

Owl City

Any one of Fleet Foxes, Mumford And Sons and The Lumineers. Doesn't matter which one. In fact I'm strongly of the opinion that the other two shouldn't be nominated

Bono

who's gonna 'man up' and post a rapstar?

The Beatles ~ Illuminati Mind Controllers
Posted by Old Timer (Larry Yeatts) on August 6, 2012 in News & Politics

The Beatles were an Illuminati creation. Their songs were written for them and handlers scripted their actions and words. They demonstrate that popular culture is really mind control.

… ”The present rock ‘n’ roll scene is one giant, multi-media portrait of degradation-a sleazy world of immorality, venereal disease, anarchy, nihilism, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, death, Satanism, perversion and orgies.”

In the style of true Satanists, the Beatles sold this sickness as “Love,” a reminder that the world is controlled by a satanic cult, the Illuminati, that hates God, and hates you and I.

Kanye west

Skr3\/\/dr1v3r

Macklemore
Marissa Marchant
Van Hagar
Brad PaisLLey Cool J
Big & Rich

Whitehouse

if you don't like Satanism and 'black magick' (I certainly don't!) then the baddest bad-boys were the Board boys (of Canada)

what if someone were going to 'man up' even further and say not only do they dislike the music of kanye west, but they also take great pleasure at his mother's premature death, except insofar as it inspired the music of kanye west? is it possible to 'man up' too much?

any indie rapper post-2002 or so

i'm a big fan but i'll fall upon the sword and nominate U2

if you 'man up' too much you get the music of Bruce Springsteen. Who's now, of course, nominated.

Gary glitter

Lil Wayne (Post 2009)

Phil Spector killed someone.

Burzum

No, I gotta draw the line at Burzum. I have to respect that dude. Unnominate him, please.

Noel Gallagher

xpost you may have to respect him, but ilm doesn't

Liam Gallagher

Bonehead

Mike Love

preemptive plea:

do not nominate musical projects of people who post to ilx

Drake obv

oops xp

Chief Keef

Insane Clown Posse

Let's snare ourselves a Simply Red/Simple Minds double while we're about it, shall we? Throw in The Proclaimers too.

does ilx really hate Simple Minds though?

what's that one band that had that youtube that markers would post all the time?

the Fall?

This list has to have a sacred cow to keep it interesting. Torn between Hendrix and Fairport Convention

Steely Dan

bright eyes

Problem with this thread premise is mostly just that people hate things for boring reasons.

Lots of artists have done good work but I can't abide them (now), e.g., Pete Townshend, Roger Waters... usu. middle aged men who entirely convinced of their own genius

Elvis Costello is another

People hate Lupe Fiasco, right? What about 2 Chainz?

Neil Young, Bob Mould, Nick Cave

i mostly hate 2 chainz, but mostly cuz he's the worst thing on his own album

Does Adam Sandler count as a musician? He did the Thanksgiving Song and Lunchlady Land, iirc.

i mean, dudes are all like "LCD Soundsystem"?

People get trolled too easily these days. I really do hate Dylan, though. I've gotten less hateful of Elvis over the years. I grew up hearing so much Elvis from my mom's fandom that I really absolutely couldn't stand him for a long, long time.

Oh, and Clapton. He's the epitome of someone I used to like who I soured on and now can't stand.

Taylor Swift

Any of her fans outside the continental US don't really understand how incredibly oppressive pop country can be living in the rural areas. Its like sitting in the McDonalds in a mega Walmart and watching Fox News between poisonous salty bites of cancer burger. Utterly soul crushing.

I listened to so much country at work that I could tell you the lyric of every song.

i go back and forth between hating taylor swift, wanting to forgive her because she seems cute, finding her cuteness cloying and loathsome, hearing the stray song by her that isn't that bad, thinking it's neat that you can really tell that it is her writing these songs -- that she has a distinctive songwriting voice that sets her apart from most pop stars of her stature, hating her songwriting voice, etc. it causes me a great deal of distress.

Marissa Marchant

Gtfo. She's one of us, whether you like it or no.

So the Marissa Marchant thing isn't an elaborate troll?

everything is an elaborate troll nowadays

an affable 20something posting to a messageboard is an elaborate troll, daft punk's new album is an elaborate troll, a mentally ill musician spamming up the internet is an elaborate troll, 9/11 is an elaborate troll, hay fever is an elaborate troll

hay fever is the worst

p.s. radiohead

dang, lex beat me to it, should have figured

something else, i guess. i dunno. i used to hate so much stuff, now it hardly seems worthwhile. like, i imagine i'd hate brad paisley if i actually took the time to listen to brad paisley. but, you know, i'd probably hate being bitten in the eyes by snakes if i actually took the time to hold them up to hold them up to my face.

still, one must soldier on. in honor of wasted years:

rusted root
alice in chains
pearl jam
blind melon
black crowes
cypress hill
pantera
krs-one
mad season/temple of the dog
queensryche
tupac shakur

neutral milk hotel

beyonce

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
The Puppini Sisters
The Crew Cuts
Pat Boone
Vernon Dalhart
The Rolling Stones

Steve Gadd

has ilm ever had a most loved musicians poll? I feel like it wouldn't really be in the spirit of the board.

and James Brown would win by default, I think.

Remember when everyone hated Michael Bolton. I don't see the same hatred for him anymore. Maybe because he's no longer charting singles. And, anyways, I was never on his case back then, but I know many who were.

Cappadonna

clapton deserves to win thread on strength of his never-retracted racist tirade

also on the strength of layla

How was Cream so good and EVERY OTHER THING Clapton ever recorded so bad? Well, the Mayall stuff was fine, but all his post-Cream endeavors are just flat out terrible.

Derek and the Dominoes were OK, but in spite of Clapton, not because of him.

Bobby Whitlock was the heart and soul of the Dominos and still doesn't get any credit

Brad Paisley may be stupid but not hateable, contenderizer

"How was Cream so good and EVERY OTHER THING Clapton ever recorded so bad?"

jack bruce and ginger baker were in cream. they were cool. nothing they ever did was every really as good either though. i mean they did some fine stuff but nothing as memorable.

even blind faith is only really any good cuzza steve winwood.

Chris de Burgh, nanny shagging shitbag.

A vote for 2Chainz

My all time hate list...

311
Nickelback
Creed
most hip-hop made after '05
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
The Smiths
Manowar
3rd wave Ska

creedleback

Smashmouth

oh, u don't want to meet me for drinks at the Astro Lounge?

jack bruce and ginger baker were in cream. they were cool. nothing they ever did was every really as good either though. i mean they did some fine stuff but nothing as memorable.

I dunno, I'd take Baker's record with
Fela over Wheels of Fire. But other than that, yeah.

FYI: This is actually a poll now

If this thread is about dislikeable people/bands, you cant say him. I don't care for his music, but every time I see him on tv he just seems so incredibly nice. Like super nice.

You're trying to impose consistent criteria on a poll that has none at all.

Groove Armada, Texas, The Beautiful South, The Pixies, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Jessie J, etc. etc.

where are creed, nickelback? ocean colour scene?

Amanda Palmer gets a pass for trying to get Peter Jefferies to do music again. Claption should have fell out the window.
I nominate:
Phish
The Greatful Dead

Nine Inch Nails
Phoenix
