Im am glad this thread was about bands people hate which allows everyone to just vent their prejudices rather than bands you like where you would all have been trying to be crawling up each others backsides with pseudo intellectual bullshit.

Hating the beatles because they took the limelight away from The stones is hilarious.

The rolling stones are resposnible for that. If they had all died in a plane crash about 1980 they would have had a great music legacy and would have been regarded as a great band.

At least the Beatles had the good sense to break up before they become a laughing stock and a parody of a rock band and not release shoite for 3 decades.

As for not liking REM because they are miserable and not mentioning the Smiths or Morrisey at the same time is laughable.

REM were a great band and spoke to a lot of people at the time. Any band who can make people think that The one I love is a love song deserve respect.

Personally i hate any UK bands trying to be some sort of american gangstas , Garage and crooners like Jamie Cullum , Michael Buble and their copycat from the X factor

You can blame Yoko Ono for The Beatles splitting up.

I give you
Yellow submarine
Obladi oblada
I am the Walrus
Your mother should know
Octopus's garden
Maxwells silver hammer
Revolution #9
That's close enough to being laughing stock for me.

To be fair that is the consequence of writing music whilst doing poop loads of drugs and letting Paul McCartney have the pen when songs were being written.

I quite like the Walrus song reminds me a bit of Edward Lear and was apparently Lennon taking the mickey out of people trying to interpret his lyrics so was meant to be a bit of a mickey take.

Cheers.

the thing with her is, she's no better than the likes of Amy MacDonald, Rumer, to name a couple, but she made a few hormonal women cry their eyes out at the Brits in 2011, and she became a megastar. Grammys, Brits, bloody OSCARS! Please. I'm not saying she can't write, but she is bland as beige, and her voice... ugh, nails on blackboard. You can't criticise her either, else you just get told ''you don't like her because she's fat'' Emile Sande is the same, only slightly less annoying.

You would, the most "pseudo intellectual bullshit" song ever written with a revisionist attempt to pass it off as a micky take - yeah right love it pure gold.

so you dont think it was related to being out of their heads on Acid then. Maybe you think the stories of drug use were made up to cover up some naff songs being written.
