The Enemy

Everytime I see a news articale about them, I have to read it to see what the rat faced gimp has to say now.

I would miss them in this way if they were gone....


gotta

agree with you there hahahah


Kiss

I don't love to hate them, I just have to hate them.


the darkness

mostly


j.penate

its just so easy to slag him off... the way he looks, the way he sings, his songs, the fact he sounds like rick astley etc etc


At a stretch...

I'd probably say Babyshambles. What a poor excuse of a freak show passing off as a band.


I'm inclined to not like baby shambles

But after whitnessing their performance on Jools Holland I bought the cd. The singer looked at the camera like a caged animal, quietly seething with disgust and hatred (and drugs) while the rest of the band just looked scared shitless. But they pulled it off and it was kind of endearing to me. It's a pretty honest and worthwile cd too.


i hate

shitty shambles, too!


these threads suck

It takes a lot less energy to LIKE something.


the enemy

not for the music just for him.some of it is quite catchy and i dont mind it but hes an absolute CUNT


It's good to be

energetic though! Look at how loads of adverts promote energy drinks and yoghurts that give you energy and not that bloated feeling. Energy is good.

As some old businessman once said, anger is an energy.


Fff....

Oh, dont worry about it!


I don't really love ot hate anything.

I do hate every single tiny little thing about Razorlight though, so I'll say them (how original).

and Oasis, mainly for their stupidly inflated (almost credible) popularity and general dick-headedness.


LCD Soundsystem

i really, really do.


Bloc Party

For trying to suddenly become generation spokes people whilst writing politically ambiguous boring indie.


Unbelievable

C'mon, they're far better than most NME indie shmuck. My vote goes to The Corrections. I saw them the other week and wanted to be sick.


YES

but mainly for the crime of being really dull and sooo damn loved.

I cannot understand why he is so hyped.


.

nobody but u2


i utterly despise....

Oasis.

not one single redeeming feature would make me consider that i should piss on them should they suddenly catch fire.


Avril Levigne

...don't even know if I spelled that right.. and not really a band..but she's so bad!!


I don't really want to hate any band/musician...

but I do hate:
Queen
Razorlight
The Darkness
Abba
The Who


^^^^cannot stand them!

..............................................................................................................................................


Yes!

Ask Ru87!


QUEEN

I spent years hating Queen but as it turns out they have some ok songs.

Bohemian Rhapsody is still ear rape though.


but she is

massivly fit.....thats got to count for something?

I mean, mute the sound on her videos, makes it roughly 10x better.


?

are you talking about avril? she has the body of a 12 year old....defintely shit


Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong

like Shed Seven in skinny jeans. And that interview where the singer was prattling on about 'the current sonic aesthetic' and how important it was to sound like Razorlight made me want to set him alight.


Yeah, that guy sure is a bawbag....

of the highest order! And his band are total shit!


current sonic aesthetic?

sounds like marketing strategy to me.


I hate everything.

But mostly dumb yet self-important indie rock like Razorlight and pap, tuneless and fake metal like Avnged Sevenfold and Bullet For My Valentine. Please all quit soon.

Ahhh, it feels good to vent.


HATE

is too strong a word but I really wish that 90% of bands who add me on myspace were a lot better. the amount of shit bands is just so depressing...


The Wombats

Seriously.
They need to die.


^^^^^^^^^^^

totally agree. Simply from their promo pictures the words 'massive wankers' springs to mind.


the hoosiers

nickleback


I don't really hate any bands

though from looking at clips of Gay Against You I find them completely laughable


Only two...

Mudvayne
&
The Streets


How can you hate Mudvayne?

One of them looks like a ladybird!


Hard Fi

U2


Vampire Weekend

Joy Division
etc


Arctic Monkeys is up there

as my primary point of hatred - boy would i love to hear their splitting up. I also highly dislike I Am Kloot, Jack Penante and The View for being absolutely being shite.


Don't get me started on Vampire Weekend

The group who fashion themselves on 'African' music.
New York tossers probably have no idea where Africa is!
Must die!


joy division?

JOY DIVISION?
why please?


The Manics

I hate everything about them. I have since A Design For Life came out.

I hate how the fact that horrid little creature went awol somehow makes them 'mysterious' and 'tragic'. Bullshit. They're a set of horrible drag queens.

The 90s would've been so awful were it not for Definitely Maybe.

Also: Muse. I really hate them.


Speaking as a Manics fan...

I had full appreciation for your post until the line 'The 90s would've been so awful were it not for Definitely Maybe.'

You lose.


Let's face it,

it started with the awful 'baggy' thing going on up here, and a bunch of fairies mincing around in dresses down south.

Oasis injected some much-needed masculinity into a decade which otherwise would've been a repeat of the previous one.


I would settle for a repeat of the 80s

over a decade which featured Oasis.


Booo!

And hiss!


I know it's old hat...

but I REALLY hate Robbie Williams and watch with ever growing glee the rise of the reformed Williams-free Take That which is odd because I am no fan of their music but I just love the thought of Robbie sobbing into his football shirt on his 40th can of warm Red Bull and 87th Tylenol Extra as nice, safe, dull, workhorse Gary toddles up to collect another award and the little one beams like Jimmy Krankie in the background unable to control his "F*ck me, we've done it again" happiness. I especially like it when the Morrisons advert comes on with the Take That song.

I also despise, in no particular order, Snow Patrol, Diving Comedy (more specifically Neil Hannon and his "quintessential" trite lyrics) and The Wombats. And Razorlight. All the standards. And Pink Floyd.


Diving Comedy? Yes I MEANT to type that

I forgot Foals. Hahahaha FOOLS I like to call them! I quite liked a few of their tracks but GOD I LOVE to hate that singer who looks like the South Park goth kid who does that swaying side to side step dance whilst hating everything ergo he hate's himself and the circle is complete. Amen.


c**nts

I have to shout that terrible word whenever I see Westlife or Boyzone on TV.
Why would you want to sing that rubbish when in your teens?
Also Scouting for gimps and the Hooziers, they make me feel ill, I was catching a flight at EMA yesterday and they played the Hoosiers at the dixons shop, I had to move to another part of the airport or risk arrest.


Scouting for Girls

My mate adores them.
She dragged me along to see them at The Brixton Windmill before they got big
There were about 20 people there.
20 poor souls, like me, who will never get that time back.

Though I give them credit for being able to fool the majority to purchase an album made up of one song with different lyrics each time.


Help me Mrs Medlicott I dont know what to do

I've only got three bullets and there's four of Motley Crue!


Radio 1

Everything on it. The DJs, Newsbeat, The music, the listeners. Everything. I put it on occasionally for this reason. It's a wonderful experience to vent at a disembodied voice.


Pigeon Detectives

The Enemy
Hoosiers
Nickelback


The Pigeon Detectives

are beyond bland. They are uberbland, macrobland, blandocious, blandola, "bla".


I had to listen to radio 1

all day every day last summer because they played it at this job i had. makes me shudder just to think about it.

scott mills is my favourite to hate.


los campesinos

you heard


Wahey!

I like it!


Ben Elton

the Band.

No, not 'The Band'. Ben Elton the Band.


clap your hands say

yeah, fucking hate them.


MUSE

and anything that Virgin Radio plays on rotation from its miniscule playlist of Virgin roster bands


^ agree agree agree

Clap your hands have got to be one of the most tune-free bands i have ever heard.


We are Scientists

I liked the first album a lot but upon first hearing the new single I actually thought it was The Killers, who are shit beyond belief. My disappointment with them has quickly turned to hatred.

And whoever said Joy Division needs to get their ears syringed as they're obviously not working properly.


They're funny, cool guys...

Even if the music is so-so, they're greatly entertaining and likeable chaps!


oh god...

i absolutely despise Abba...i hate the fact that everything you have to go to a family party that fucking senseless megamix is played...!although since the smoking ban it has forced me to brave the cold...!


Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes...

All that gay shit.


Bright Eyes

is fucking shit on a stick without the stick. Absolute fucking pathetic...


I HATE

That fucking EMO band Blackhole


I MEAN!!!!!!

I HATE The Blackout.... have nothing against Blackhole.


BRING ME THE HORIZON

BABYSHAMBLES
THE PIGEON DETECTIVES
ANY WISHY WASHY RADIO-INDIE SHIT


EDITORS

Oh I would stomp their fucking heads in, man. I'd love that shit to death.


Sigur Ros

I mean.. the empty sky is beautiful and all... but I dont feel like staring at it for hours on end. No thanks.


Nah, he's right.

Sigur Ros are boring. Not bad, just boring. Which would be fine if the entire alternative community didn't insist on fellating them so frantically. This makes them annoying.

Saw them once. Fell asleep.

The pot pourri of rock.


Shite bands

Radiohead - absolute pretentious 'tortured artist' shite - and - unfortunately, spawned even worse similar shite. I'd like to see them really tortured, that would be an interesting record.


kate nash

she reminds me of a dinosaur


a little list

Gwen Stefani
The Cure (because everybody else has anal sex with them)
The Smiths
Girls Aloud
Madonna


There are very few bands I can say I genuinely hate

Scouting For Girls is probably the only one that actually annoys me so much it makes me angry though.


add to the list

...the kooks suck pretty bad..


hmm

mars volta - please dont put foreign lyrics in i cant understand its just s**t.

fall out boy/panic at the disco/horrors or anything emo


Really???

You'd actively hate a band because they sing in a foreign language?

Well, more fool you, then.


I wouldnt call FOB emo

they are more pop rock

as are Panic nowa days

and are Horrors

and u dont like something cause of the language?

U sir are a massive idiot


radiohead

because they're always so fucking depressing.

seriously, thom yorke. cheer the fuck up.


Trash Fashion

I hope they die of AIDS.


agree

fucking completely.


the pixies

smell of ex girlfriends and wee
