Your Most Hated Music Artist.
 

Pick a band or musician that you can't stand at all. And try not to choose Bieber, Minaj or One Direction because those are way too easy :D

My choice is these guys:

I CAN'T STAND THESE GUYS. A lot of their songs (especially that horrible Para-para-paradise song) are some of the most boring and overrated ever written. I can't really think of another band I dislike as much as these guys (Nickelback almost makes the cut, though).

Re: Your Most Hated Music Artist.
 

Is that Coldplay? I don't care much for them either. I've always thought they took U2's sound and made it a lot more commercial and blah.

I haven't heard much of One Direction's music, but what I have heard doesn't make me the least bit interested to hear more. What do they offer to music except, at best, mediocrity?

Oops, you said no One Direction. Now I have to think of someone else. Shouldn't be too difficult.....

Chris Brown.

I cannot think of a musician that I hate, because it's pretty easy to ignore music that isn't to my tastes, and hating people you've never met isn't very useful.

Re: Your Most Hated Music Artist.
 

Hate is too strong word for me but few years ago whenever I heard Bruno Mars,I got annoyed.So so banal yet some of my friends used to love him.

Re: Your Most Hated Music Artist.
 

Surely its the music that is the subject of the hate not the actual artists? I really, really dislike:

-Any artist that has been on a reality television television programme designed to make the record company execs and tv execs richer
-The Streets
-The Black eyed Peas
-Maroon 5
-Most manufactured bands like The Spice Girls or Mumford and Sons
-Most Rap artists who just sing about guns and their fellow african americans.
-Celine Dion
-Queen
-The Darkness

She was the first to come to my mind when I saw the thread title.

But Queen? :(

maybe what Monkeypunch was trying to say was to hate a true artist is sort of like hating the person themselves, since their music is just usually an extension of them. but i don't think most people would consider One Direction to fall into that category. not sure about Coldplay. i've only heard like one song 10 years ago.

i wouldn't include 'manufactured artists' as musicians myself, regardless of what they're considered, so i'm having a hard time thinking of a true artist i hate. i'm not saying it doesn't exist, i just can't think of one for some reason.

Then that's a silly thing to say.

Yes. I hate them.

Novelty pap.

I cannot freaking stand this ^ guy!

Re: Your Most Hated Music Artist.
 

I find the music by Fun annoying for some reason, especially the song We Are Young. Always use to hear this annoying song last year, step into a shop and it was on, urgh.

I can't really think of anything else...

Any boy band or Nickelodeon-based girl act

Cue any deathmetal or blackmetal group.

Re: Your Most Hated Music Artist.
 

i hate most rap or hip hop, or the horrible kind of pop you hear on the radio now. also, country music and deathmetal.

Re: Your Most Hated Music Artist.
 

Some of these responses are making me a little sad. Except for one or two songs, I can't stand John Mayer, so no issue there. But fun.? Love 'em. Especially "Some Nights" and "All Alone."

FI No2 - you listed quite a few types of music there. What do you listen to?

Re: Your Most Hated Music Artist.
 

I'm pretty sure this thread will contain intermittent bickering until the end of the time. :laugh:

Re: Your Most Hated Music Artist.
 

Count me in as another John Mayer hater.

Re: Your Most Hated Music Artist.
 

Nickleback. I actually hate them and don't understand how anyone could like their music.

Usher. Should have stopped failing to make music a long time ago.

Ne Yo. Spend more time making a half decent song instead of crappy dance routines.

Pitbull. Words cannot do justice to how terrible this guy is.

Re: Your Most Hated Music Artist.
 

Ok, about John Mayer, I'm wondering: Is this because of his personality as it comes across via the media? Or because of his music?

The thread is called 'Your most hated music artist' so maybe some people are focusing more on the person than the musician?

Imo, John Mayer is one of the most accomplished, versatile musician/singer/songwriters around.

His guitar-playing is fantastic, whether playing blues, jazz, rock, folk-rock, pop, you name it. His albums experiment with the same genres. I don't like all the songs in all his albums, but they each contain some really good songs. Plus, he's got his own voice; he's not trying to emulate anyone.

Check out John Mayer: Where the Light Is, Live in Los Angeles, in which he performs solo/acoustic, with his jazz/blues trio, and with his pop/rock band.
