Masked Intruder.  I think the concept is awesome, and I like some of the music, but the vocals are just too sugary for me.  I guess I like my pop punk a little dirtier.

Sublime...  Most overrated "ska" band ever of all time in my opinion.

Very much this.   I dont mind their existence all that much, but holy shit they get way more praise than they deserve.

Tool.
Metallica and Slayer.
Whoever the fuck sings that "In love with the coco" song, holy fuck that song needs to go away.
ACDC.
Every Rose Has Its Thorn, Enter Sandman, Smoke on the Water, and all the other songs that newbie guitar players play endlessly.
Andrew Jackson Jihad (I dunno if they frequent these forums, but I'm not trying to start shit).

Anna Karina

People who aren't 19-year-old fratboys in 2004 praise Sublime?

lindsey

haha yeah i think sublime is shit on way more than praised

I liked Sublime a lot better when I was a teenager in the mid to late 90s. I love Tool who were mentioned earlier. They put on the best live show I've ever seen, though me being very fucked up may have been a factor.

Any rap artists whose first album came out 2010 or later fits into groups/musicians I hate that everyone loves. There may be 1 or 2 exceptions

Having said that, I'd rather listen to Papa Roach than GG Allin

I know it's a song and not a band and I generally like the B-52's but I can not stand "The Love Shack."It's so sucky, the more I think about it the more I hate it!

The Mountain Goats. I really don't get it. My friend even brought me to a show and I hoped that seeing them would make me understand why so many people love them. It didnt.

Anna Karina

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

I've tried to listen to the Misfits, but they just don't do anything for me.  (For the record, I don't know if everyone loves the Misfits or if the Misfits are just good at marketing.) "Dig Up Her Bones" is probably the only acceptable song.

While I like what Crass was about, the music... Ah... I don't actively hate Crass, but I don't think I would ever have the thought, "I really feel like listening to Crass."

(On the other side of things, Propagandhi is my favourite and I'm wearing a Masked Intruder shirt as I type these very words!)

Holy shit the video for Dig Up Her Bones is hysterical, I can't believe they are still fooling little punk kids sounding like some serious butt rock. 

You really like that song the most compared to danzig era misfits dude?

Dear lord, James and I agree on something.

That song is the worst, but "Rock Lobster" is one of the best things ever.

I had no idea that that shit version of The Misfits ever existed. . .  I wish I never would have looked at that dig up her bones video.

Also, Song for a Future Generation and 52 Girls are probably the best B-52 things ever.  Rock Lobster is ok, I guess... I don't hate it, but I feel like it's always go-to B-52s at parties, so it's kinda meh.

Mesopotamia is pretty good, too.  I guess my point is that Rock Lobster sucks comparatively.  lol.

(also, I feel like Daun from the Door-Keys would be awesome in a B-52s tribute band for Rock-n-Roll Prom or whatever.)

It's possible that my tastes have changed. I haven't tried listening to the Misfits since 2008 or so. I just listened to "Dig Up Her Bones," and that certainly hasn't held up, so who knows what's what anymore?

The theme song they did for Rockos Modern Life is one of the best things ever.

Lots of correct opinions about the B-52s in this thread

I forgot they did that! Love it. I stand by my love for Rock Lobster though.

Godspeed You Black Emperor.

I just don't get it.

A friend of mine liked them, so I figured I'd check them out.  I spent a couple of hours on one of their albums.  Then I switched to the next track.
