Holy shit so that's who does that song. I couldn't place the voice, but I hear that damn thing every day at Gold's. It's the only song on the "20 on 20" XM station that I can tolerate. Honestly, I think the anger I feel at listening to pop music adds a solid 2 reps to any set, and maybe an extra 20 lbs, too.
So yeah, after I got out of high school in 2002, all the crap that sounded good to me then just lost luster over the course of freshman year of college. I just have enjoyed my Warren Zevon cds, some country like Hank III, Waylon, Cash, etc. a whole lot since then. Most of the bands everyone talks about, I have never heard of. I'm a crotchety old man at 22 complainging about all of this catterwauling headbanger music. It all sucks. "Play Takin' Care of Business." "Skip to the workin' overtime part."
Eh. so yeah, I'll fill in the country that sucks contingent- Big & Rich, Shania Twain, Billy Currington, Alabama...and lots of Generic One Hit Wonder Artists.

Here's my list...
3 Doors Down- What exactly do they do that no one else does? Sing nonsensical lyrics about superman? Ah well, let's put anyone who sings like that in the same place as well.
Nickelback- it's been said that they only have one song. But unlike AC/DC where you just can't tell the difference between them, they literally only have one song. Seriously, play them next to each other, their two hits are the SAME DAMN MELODY! How this didn't get figured out I don't know.
Green Day- Self Righteous, pretensious little jerk-off's who can't create a decent album. I seriously do not get the American Idiot hype train and I for one love Rock Opera (hook me up on Jim Steinman even). They only have four damn songs on that album repeated over and over again. The album is full of irony because they use words they cannot even begin to understand. And before you try to insult your president, do some research. Perhaps you can do a better anti-bush song. Hell, hook up Paul Simon's latest, Wartime Prayers is an awesome anti-war song that doesn't get lost in the times. Tommy is remembered, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band is remembered, Smile will be remembered, even Bat out of Hell will be remembered. American Idiot will be left on the dustbin of history. BANK ON IT!
Simple Plan- HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MMMMEEEE I MADE MY MISTAKES!!!!
Korn- You went to Hilary Duff's writer? And your music wasn't that good to begin with.
Slipknot- Someone tell me what the hell they are singing. Until they are subtitled live on stage I will not take them off of my list.
Good Charlotte Blink 182 Sum 41- Why do I group these people together? BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SAME DAMN BAND! Try to differentiate their music, YOU CAN'T!
Gwen Stefani- Never before in the history of music has one man, or woman, been able to chart more annoying songs. Yes including Phil Collins.
I'll get a lot of slack for this but... Sex Pistols- They jump started a whole genre that has done nothing but drag down music. We could have a second Bethoven's Nineth and they ruined that chance.
Anti-Flag- Anti-Captialists join BMG to sing Anti-Capitalist music and make a ton of money off of it. Not only that, the singer can't sing and the music sucks.
Anyone who uses Pachebel's Canon in D- Seriously, get your own damn music.
Bowling for Soup/Fountains of Wayne- you're not funny and your music is annoying.
Linkin Park- Where do I begin? I would love to have this double the Green Day portion but I need a starting point. First off Rap and Rock should never mix to the degree you people do it. Second off your lyrics suck. Anyone disagree with me? Here's a sample: "Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness, or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?" The answer you nu-metal emo bastards is to live your life seeing as that's all you can do. So what if people are phoney what difference does it make Holden Caufield? Sure you're going to get hurt, but just because your girlfriend broke up with you doesn't give you a reason to shriek like a girl, and just because your father doesn't like you doesn't mean that your life is ruined. There are soldiers in wars dumbasses. In Darfur people are DIEING, how about you get out of your pretencious, self-obsessed, ebony temple and life for a change, contribute to society, and make good music? There, long enough.
Fort Minor- Linkin Park only worse.
Metalica- One was one of crappiest songs I could think of. So we are going to drone on about the most depressing book ever? Yeah, whatever. And then they go off and do Enter Sandman which is only good for Sandman's entrance theme. What's more metal than James Hetfield freigtening a poor kid before he goes to sleep? Oh yeah, Richard Simmons!
Limp Bizkit- Behind Blue Eyes was the last straw, and luckily enough it ended their careers.
Garth Brooks- Simply for ruining country.

Ya know, I have a "If it sounds good to you, listen to it" motto. So I can't factually state that any band or artist is horrible since it's completely subjective.
However, Juggalos annoy me to no end.

All of blonde pop-tarts of today. The Simpson sisters, Brit, et al. Please close your mouth, go stand over there and look nice, but please be quiet.
All the boy bands... except for Justin Timberlake. I'll let him off on probation, but he's treading on thin ice.
Most rap since around... 1999. Except Eminem, he's one of the few I can stand. But all this ''Bling Bling'' bullshit... Shut up. ESPECIALLY THAT NO TALENT P. DIDDY.
I'll think of more later... maybe.

I hate My Chemical Romance.
I don't know much, but Bowling For Soup sounds like a lot of ass.

I hate Fall Out Boy. I hate My Chemcial Romance. I hate Green Day. I hate Fort Minor. I hate Linkin Park. I hate Good Charlotte. I hate most rock bands with rap songs or ballads. I hate the OPM bands they have here... I.. I actually don't hate much bands. So let's move on to artists... But mostly, they're the really hot ones. Shame. Oh wait. HILARY DUFF IS NOT HOT.
And I agree about the rap music right now... How it's all about bling-bling and those ugly-ass grills.. I have braces so ha!

I want to be fair, so I'll only criticise the metal bands.
Testament - All their earlier thrash songs sound the same, so the only stand out songs they have are their ballads which are actually pretty good. Now when a thrash band is only good at ballads, something is wrong! Although the song Practise What You Preach is ok... And the less said about their death metal years, the better.
Slipknot - Except for Duality and Before I Forget, all the songs are the same, unintelligible bullshit. The only upside about Slipknot is Joey Jordison or whatever his name is, and there are still way better drummers than him.
Tool - All their music is bland, their only song which is good to me is Lateralus. It goes for 9 minutes, but the build up is SOO drawn out the actual song only goes for like 3 minutes. Seriously.
Mastodon - Put your instruments down RIGHT NOW! Walk away, and never ever look back.
Cradle of Filth - First of all the vocals sound like a frog with a sore throat. Second of all the music is dull and uminventive and finally; when your best song is an Iron Maiden cover, somethings up.
Children of Bodom - HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hinder - A singer who sounds like he's constipated and whiny, over a band playing Bon Jovi-lite.
Buckcherry - First, there was AC/DC, a bluesy, if juvenile, band who played down 'n' dirty rock 'n' roll about women, drinkin' and havin' fun. Then came Jackyl, a Southern AC/DC ripoff with a quarter the talent and none of the wit of AC/DC. So, hey, why not a ripoff of a ripoff? Well, because copies of copies suck, that's why.
Dragonforce - Metalheads are all gooey over them. They're all nuts. It's Steve Perry from Journey, singing discarded Manowar lyrics over a Slayer cover band playing in a higher octave. That's a recipe for a migraine.
Black Crowes - Remember those old TV ads about the Norelco electric razor, where they said "You'll get a shave just as good as a blade!" That's a tacit admission that a razor blade is the gold standard, and that you have to convince you're "as good as" is, by default, implying your inferiority. This argument works with The Black Crowes and The Rolling Stones.

You're very welcome. Now if only I could get the time of my life back when I heard their CD ... Jed Shaffer ~Isn't it illegal to rhyme "fire" and "desire" in every song on your album? No? Well, it should be.

My borderline is 1995. I have only ONE CD by an artist who debuted after 1995. Everyone else pre-existed. So, pretty much, the death of grunge was the end for me.

Not that i dont respect your opinion..but.. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA etc. I knew somebody would say this, but i just never got into them. Just seemed like random ideas to me. Plus i hate Mike Patton's voice, the most obvious put on voice of all time. They had no songs either. Angel Dust? Don't get me started on that overrated piece of crap album. No tunes anywhere, just lame third rate riffs topped out with Patton sometimes saying something random for no reason. The fact that this band gets heralded time and again as the most influental band makes me confused when they are essentially the metal version of Fleetwood Mac. Or The Feeling. Ie too sickly. I mean seriously, was Mike Patton the only guy on earth who thought they sucked? The only plus point was Jim Martin who was wasted in this band.

I actually like Sum 41. They're a little harder than most pop punk bands
Another band that sucks is Our Lady Peace. I know mass people who love them but can't stand them

I normally would have added My Chemical Romance to my list but I've heard good things about them from their new album, though I haven't listened to it.
Have they really changed at all from their "i'm not ok (i promise)" days?
Damn can't believe I typed that, I HATE THAT TITLE!
