I refuse to like any generic Prog Metal band that comes out of the woodwork and tries to pass off their lack of ingenuity and creativity with pretentious solos and "technical" ability.

These guys make me hate prog music even more, even when I know there has to be some good stuff out there... they've turned me off of ****ty wank-filled solos forever...

wank-filled?

That's almost as bad as saying twat... don't sink the low.

Deicide

I don't care if they have two of the best selling death metal records of all time, I can't stand that ass cunt Glen Benton. His ideas on religion are juvenile (even for a death metal artist), his treatment of both animals and women is appalling, and his attempts to come across as an intellectual are laughable to say the very least. Not only that but I've never found their music to be anything special, like a bland mixture of various Death Metal artists from the Florida scene. It really irks me that he is seen in the same slight as Death Metal greats like Chuck Schuldiner who had more talent in his little toe than Benton has in his entire body.

Folk rock is awesome when done right, but it does seem like a lot of current bands are using the same obligatory formula, no matter the situation.

for sure, and i'm not really that close minded, i was just poking fun at the earlier generalization. although personally, folk music has just never done it for me, and i've heard plenty through various sources over the years. i can respect and appreciate the talent involved and it's not that i want to dislike it, it just doesn't do it for me. but that's why there are other styles out there and why music is such a fundamental social / cultural element straight across the globe.

...these guys (and 1 girl - i mean they ARE indie bands after all) make me hate indie music even more, even when i know there has to be some good stuff out there. they've turned me off folky acoustic music forever...

how awesome are generalizations?

They're great. Generalizations happen all the time with rap, I couldn't help it. Everything that i've seen and heard is absolute shit. There is no other way around it, they've ruined a whole genre for me.

Nice to see you have an opinion on that there. Not that I care but it's nice to see regardless.

...oh and by the way I wasn't generalizing rap. I was saying that those kinds of rappers (i.e. 50 Cent, Soulja Boy etc. etc.) have totally trashed the genre. Making it hard for anyone to take rap seriously unless they look for underground artists that still rap about things I give a crap about.

I refuse to like any band that comes out of the woodwork and is not fronted by Thom Yorke and tries to pass off their lack of ingenuity and creativity with terrible excuses for front men.

These guys make me hate music even more, even when I know there has to be some good stuff out there... they've turned me off of ****ty non-Yorke-fronted songs forever...

Aside from their iconic hit tunes, I find it pretty laughable when people are die hard fans of bands like AC/DC, Kiss, Motley Crue, Guns 'N' Roses and The Scorpions. I mean... have you heard these albums?

I refuse to like whiny emotional soft rock, who's marketing seems mostly directed to young girls, but pretends as though it's deep songwriting. All those bands created by Blink-182 members like +44, Angels and Airwaves, Boxcar Racer, for example. City and Colour, The Plain White T's, Dashboard Confessional.

I refuse to like Modern Radio Country as well. Perhaps this goes without saying, but my hatred is particularly seething. Lets set the record straight, The Rascall Flatts does not a country artist make--They're a pop act. Darius Rucker, does not Charlie Pride make, just because he's black. Fans of pseudo-country music are idiots, through and through.

Radiohead.

I find Thom Yorke's vocals annoying as ****.

On an unrelated note, 90% of their fans are douchebags.

John Mayer - not to suggest is a bad musician, but just thinking of his face irks me.. he's so arrogant and self-obsessed and he gets away with it.
