Okay, so maybe my LEAST favorite bands is a stretch, but these are some groups I have a problem with. Feel free to leave me hate mail in response! Black Sabbath: Are they really in the Rock and Roll hall of fame?? Of course they have a few anthemic songs that have been absolutely worn out by a shitload of unfunny DJ's doing those stupid morning shows around the country, but are these songs really THAT good? Just listen to the lyrics to something like "Iron Man" or "Paranoid". Trite is putting it nicely. I can't name names because I don't know who wrote what, but they were doing it at about a 6th grade level. At best. The guitar playing is decent, I guess and Ozzy isnt a bad singer, but their drummer is attrocious. In my twisted head, they're the Sex Pistols of Heavy Metal. Dave Matthews Band: So they tried to do something different and succeeded, I guess. Admirable, but they still suck. When Dave Matthews sings, he sounds like he's got a snack cracker sutured to the roof of his mouth with peanut butter. And I imagine if I were to die and go to Hell, I'll have eternal lawn seats at a DMB show. Normally you'd think a bunch of cute college girls under the influence would totally be appealing, but even that couldn't get me to a DMB concert. Because you just know they'd all just talk about how many 'Dave' shows they've been to and how they're kick ass, and then catalog everything they've had to drink in the last week...Yuck. Then throw in the frat guys and you've got a recipe for disaster...On top of all that, there's the fact that Dave Matthews spawned an entire movement of DMB clones...with that singing...oh god, that singing! U2: Oh how I hate U2. First of all, their music is sort of "Ho Hum...". It's not that great, but not so bad that I'd turn the channel when they came on or anything. But what solidified their place in my Rock and Roll Hall of Shame is their giant egos. This band actually thinks they're changing the world! Changing the world! Through song! How cute...Though somehow I find it hard to believe that this fucked up world would be any more fucked up if Bono had never squeezed into his tight-ass leather pants donned the giant grandma shades and his guitarist had never re-christened himself after something I wish he would drive the tour bus over. Possibly the lowest point in human history: Before performing a cover of 'Helter Skelter', Bono, self righteous as ever, exclaims, "Charles Manson stole this song from the Beatles so now we're stealing it back!" Ugghh.... Limp Bizkit/Korn/Nu Metal/Rap Rock: I don't know anything about any of these bands except for the fact that it took me less than a song each to realize that they would be a flash in the pan. But, honestly...to all of these bands, I'd like to say "thanks" because they all but killed off Popular music at the time...something that really needed to be done. Counting Crows: I don't know, I just really don't like them. I think their lead singer looks like a guy I used to know and didn't like, or something...I really have nothing to back this up...except for that Mr. Jones song...that should be reason enough, shouldn't it?
