i'm just pretty limited in my ability to hate, Fu; i can typically find at least one redeeming quality in almost every band.

i do hate master p and the whole no limit sound. what a complete waste of tape.

i probably just threw them in there because they're one of the only other jam bands i know. there was a song of theirs that got played on radio that i didn't mind too much.

It wouldn't bother me not to hear Michael MacDonald sing ever again. I wish Alanis Morissette would disappear, too. Right after I teabag her.

You white people need to listen to Yail Bloor for once! The man speak the truth.

And all I can say is [img][427:500]http://img317.imageshack.us/img317/6874/tribettmug17bv.jpg[/img]
to whoever the fuck said Dr. Dre.

You fucking sinner. UNNNNNGGGH!

Since my hate is boundless, I will also add:
Aerosmith
Bon Jovi
The Moody Blues
Motley Crue
Lenny Kravitz

I also second the drawing and quartering of Michael McDonald. His only contribution is "I Keep Forgetting", without which, Nate Dogg & Warren G would have to "Regulate" acapella.

THANK YOU!!!!!

I forgot, good christ do I hate the moody blues.

And shiv: Its easy to hate the fans and jammy side of phish but they really are a pretty great band if you give them a chance.

See? You can't deny the Fu. When he's right, he's right!

to add to his boundless list:
Quiet Riot
Taco
anyone that has anything to do with a Paul McCartney duet-- see, I don't wish away Sir Paul, or Stevie, or Michael, but when they perform WITH Paul? Ick.

No Hagar? No Hagar-led Halen?

Pearl Jam - not because I hate 'em, but because they're responsible, through no fault of their own, for Creed and Nickelback etal. I mean, you take away Creed and nothing changes, but you take away PJ and POOF! - all those shitty yarbling imitators disappear.

Black Sabbath - 'cuz I hate the sludgy, retarded metal these guys pretty much invented.

Cream - it's quite possible that without the existence of Cream the interminable deedly-deedly guitar solo wank would never have sullied my delicate ears.

Radiohead - yeh, thanks guys, just what the world needed: permission to toss out structure and melody in favor of narcissistic, pseudo-intellectual moaning about your own alienation. Thank god for the future generations that will DESPISE this shit.

Pavement - kinda the same boat as Pearl Jam - ie: tolerable on their own, but they encouraged a generation to obstinately refuse to try, and we're still deluged with their slack, untalented offspring.

Guided By Voices - Bob Pollard is a teacher by trade, and he has successfully taught a new batch of songwriters that it's not necessary to finish your songs, not necessary to learn your craft, and not necessary to even play your songs with any sense of passion or skill. Thanks, asshole.

My best friend would probably hug you for saying this. He hates Peter Cetera more than any musician on this planet.

Have you heard White Pepper? Shit, I like them enough for the fact that they can transcend the genres they shamelessly satirize. I think some of what they do is flat out drug induced self indulgence, especially the GodWeenSatan, Pod, and Pure Guava records. But some of what they do is brilliant and doesn't sound dumb at all.

?

And still he wrote a whole ton of great songs. Love 'em. Maybe I'm nuts, but I think the half-songs are pretty fun to listen to.

My vote goes to Metallica.

No way, without them, the Dickies wouldn't have released the KKK pic sleeve.

This is very true.

I will also nominate Kansas.

As much as I hate Creed (they're evil), they're not influential enough to matter. So...fuck 'em, but, no. (EDIT: Sorta like what Elvis Fu said about Nickelback &&/|| Candlebox.)

Eagles are a good call -- that whole alt.country thing is largely their fault. So yeah, good call, definitely on the short list.

Definitely not Yes or Rush -- I love prog.

Definitely not Black Sabbath -- I love metal.

Who's the first chick who did the singer/songwriter thing, Joan Baez? Joni Mitchell? As much as I don't hate her, her. Because I really hate that stereotype that women are delicate. Women rock, damit! In my world, Heart woulda been as big as Led Zeppelin...

But my final decision:

The Beatles -- now that would really make things interesting. Take away one of the biggest and most influential "power pop" bands -- yeah, that would definitely make things different.

yeah but there are a million "artists" that are horrible and horrible to look at such as Limp Bizkit, Korn, etc.

Don't forget Aerosmith. And Kansas.

I remember the day when my dislike for the Eagles really solidified for me. I was getting on a bus and the bus driver had the radio playing and there it was: "Welcome tooo dee Hoh-tel Ca-li-fuh-nia"...

Um, why is he singing in a Jamaican accent?

End of story.

ah, but they arent half-songs, just short ones. Cigarette Tricks for example is beautiful, but it couldnt be any longer. Perfect composition as is.

I don't own any Eagles albums, not even the greatest hits. But I'll listen to them on the radio if they came on. Unless it is Take It Easy, or Already Gone.

And Aerosmith was my favorite band in 8th grade, so I still have a soft spot for them. They were the first serious band I got into, because previously I liked Vanilla Ice, Kriss Kross and MC Hammer.

Apparently, she may be willing to go down on you in a theater.

Do you hate the Police too? 'Cause that affected Jamaican accent Sting uses on a bunch of Police songs can be quite irritating also. Just askin'

Steve

That's easy...Limp Bizkit.
