I must respectfully disagree with that statement. There have been way worse than her. She was great back in the day, but One Sweet Day was, in my opinion, her last great song, haven't really liked anything she's done since 97

I gotta concur with the Evanescence hating here. And, for me, it went go from "don't care, they're not on my radar" to "stab my ears with a Taco Bell spork" after their new single hit, and every critic on Earth slobbered over them as "maturing, intelligent songwriters." I'm sorry, but when your chorus has you rhyming "me" with "me" five lines in a row, you're not intelligent. You're not mature. You're brain dead. And obviously not owning a thesaurus or dictionary. That kind of sloppy songwriting is borderline criminal.
A couple more while I'm here:
Beck~~Hi, I think I'm Bob Dylan, only I "sing" over some cheap, recycled Moby beats. My lyrics make sense, if you combine random words in a dictionary with a few conjunctions. Somehow, being incoherant, unoriginal and devoid of gravity makes me a genius, and not even in an ironic sense.
System Of A Down~~Faux speed metal with MELODIES?!? And a singer who sound like he should be singing Puccini? And why is a metal band singing about how life is like a waterfall? Add it all up and you got a band that's so wussy, they makes Stryper sound like Cannibal Corpse.
Rush~~If I wanted to listen to a falsetto midget sing about trees and Tom Sawyer after sucking on helium, I'd ... no, scratch that. There's NO HUGING WAY I'd want to listen to that.
Shinedown~~The vocalist sounds like he had his throat kicked in. If not, he should. The guitars are generic radio-friendly patter, the drumming sounds like it's on something with Fisher-Price stamped on the side, and the lyrics sound like random noodlings from a 14 year old written on the back of a placemat while waiting for their Moons Over My Hammy at Denny's. Other then those minor quibbles, I have no issue with this band.
Jed Shaffer ~Anticipating a barrage of flames for attacking critical darlings. And I'll enjoy it. ;D

You just outlined the reasons I LIKE SOAD.
Originality is better than Slayer making the same album over and over for the past ten years.

Everybpdy's got their own taste. I'd rather have the "unoriginality" of Slayer then the square-peg-round-hole combination that makes SOAD. Their style may not deviate much (some, but not much), but I can count on them for QUALITY. Bands that feel the need to shed skin and abandon their bread & butter in favor of "growing" ... well ... hello, Metallica.
Jed Shaffer ~Old School Metal, and proud of it.

I just don't like listening to a bunch of stuff that sounds the same.
I love Slayer from Reign In Blood, South Of Heaven, Seasons Of The Abyss, Undisputed Attitude, Divine Intersection..because each album had a different flavor.
I hate bands who repeat themselves and repeat someone elses style.
If a band dont have SOMETHING that makes them unique I dont have time for it.

Dead Kennedys
I'll certainly disagree with that one. Not that I take any other persons intrests seriously enough to have it effect my enjoyment of it or upset me in any way.
Actually..outside the Casualties I agree with the rest of the list.

Yea I figured you'd say something about DK. I actually like Jello's spoken word stuff, but I never liked the band...little too poppy sounding for me...and the Casualties just kinda bug me since they're faker than Notorious B.I.G.....we used to call them the Casual Ties around work.

I certainy don't have a problem with you not liking them. It'd be pretty boring if we all liked the same crap.

Ok, I won't even bother to list every MTV "flavour of the week" teen-boy-girl bands or disposable artists who'll be forgotten once their 15 minutes of fame are gone.
I'll concentrate my "hate" on artists who have a real following and some kind of long-lasting credibility.
Nirvana: all they have going for them is Cobain shooting himself. The music ranges from dull to abysmal. I don't care if they were "groundbreaking", they're definitely overrated on all accounts.
U2 : one of the best rock bands ever? Not even rock if you ask me. And Bono's attitude makes things 100x worse! STFU with your "preaching" and try to improve as a singer. The rest of the band sounds meh (at best).
Marilyn Manson : when Alice Cooper met Ozzy... plus tons of KISS'es cheap merchandising/communication strategy. Great business sense, terrible artist. Sadly many have been buying into that crap.
Slipknot : same tactis as Manson. Gimmicky band, with little substance.
Bob Dylan : the epitome of "resting on the laurels". 1968 called Bob, they want you back.
Bruce Springsteen : another once interesting artist living off his glorious days, with little new and interesting to say. But he won't shut up. Oh, and another so-called "rocker" who's not really rocking...
R.E.M. : depressing, clichè, boring. Yet insanely popular... Go figure!
Limp Bizkit (and their followers) : we can't do decent metal, nor decent rap. Maybe if we mix them the people won't notice we suck...

Fergie! FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST FERGIE!
I have not heard anyone worse than her, ever. Listening to Fergie-licious is like being raped in the ear by seven cacti, then having a dog crap in the wounds with alcohol laced turds.
And most rap, boring, repetitive, my opinion.
