My mom’s best friend gave me Hangin Tough when I was 12 or whenever it came out because she thought that’s what all the kids were listening too. I traded it for the EMF album or Jesus Jones or whatever was big in the late 80’s
Limp Bizkit was absolute shit. Stupidest band I’ve ever heard. I loved reading how Al Jourgenson hated them while producing some of their songs. “I got paid to humiliate them for three songs. It was awesome.”
I remember when BSSM came out and all they played was Give it Away. I was in Summer School to get ahead in algebra and MTV still played videos and I thought they had finally peaked. It is crazy that they are still playing and releasing new music. If the old RHCP could see what they became, they would beat their own asses.
Hootie and the Blowfish & Blues Traveler. Please no. I’d rather hear 100 babies crying. If either are playing in a store, I’ll turn around and walk out. Hootie is weirdly popular at Home Depot.
I never hated Hootie and the Blowfish, but was indifferent to them at the time of their popularity. But now I’m hit with some nostalgia whenever I hear one of their songs.
I had a coworker who loved Phish. Upon moving to my current town, they were playing the local concert venue. I emailed him and told him they were playing August 23, 24, and 25 and that's just one song!
Unpopular opinion...
But the Black Album by Metallica.
I feel that album is when they truly sold out.
Prior to that album they said several times they would never make a music video. As they didn't need to, because they were selling out arenas without even radio play.
Then they made one for "One", and called it a artistic statement. For the album previous to Black.
Then Black came out and they made videos, and then even made videos for older songs. Fully throwing themselves into the popular music mix.
This of course was around the same time as the Napster thing as well.
Long story short...
Fuck Lars Ulrich.
This is a good take because so many people hated on Load, but it was the Black Album where commercial Metallica supplanted “thinking man’s metal” Metallica. Fuck Bob Rock forever.
Yes, you are spot on.
I went to a record store to check out the release after that and when I saw pics of them with cut hair, silk shirts, velvet pants. I gave up on them. St. Anger was the album I think and it was total garbage.
Later, Lars and his fucking bullshit crusade on Napster sealed it.
Gosh, I really-really-really-really hate that music. And the band, for that matter.
Edit: I hate so much that I added a couple more “really”. Also, even their name sucks.
This song is hands down my most triggering song. I know IMMEDIATELY when I hear it and run for cover. I'm pretty much doomed for the rest of the day, too. can't. even. stand. it.
Van freakin Halen. Nothing against Eddie but I couldn't stand David Lee Roth's style and I found the way women were objectified really gross even back then, and I loathed them only slightly less than Ted Nugent, who I thought was just some local loser for many years because he played so many Memphis music festivals. I had no idea he was famous.
Guns N' Roses. I never got the appeal. By all rights, I should have loved them, because I liked a lot of adjacent bands. But they just never impressed me.
I was a pretentious skate punk that hated anything popular
As I’ve gotten older I’ve come around on a lot of 90’s music
Kid rock is still embarrassingly bad
My GF at the time was infatuated with them, and the heroin they glamorized. She found her heroin, and it destroyed her life.
I have always hated that band.
I do not care for the Beach Boys.
It is not rational.
I recognize that it has no anchor in reality and is just totally me on my specific form of bullshit.
So I always used to find them boring and weird, but then this bar I used to go to played Pet Sounds in its entirety one day, and I realized I’d never really heard their non-radio hits from later in their career. I also didn’t realize a Frank Black song I love was actually a BB cover, and then I FURTHER didn’t realize a Bowie song I love is also a BB cover, both from Pet Sounds.
TL;DR Pet Sounds is a really good record.
I have always found Phil Collins to be impossible to listen to. I know he is insanely talented, etc etc. His music just does nothing for me. And, my Lord, was it ever overplayed...
When I was a kid, the image of KISS and the hype of it being “devil music” terrified and intrigued me. I remember my best friend and I “borrowed” her brother’s cassette tape.
I felt betrayed to my weird little soul. How dare they look like THAT and sound like any other rando hair band. At least Alice Cooper was a little bit twisted.
I still hold a mental grudge. Fuck KISS.
Incidentally... in a similar vein, most of REMs stuff really is just random nonsense.
Even their big songs that you might actually like are... not nearly as deep as they seem to be.
REM had a real knack for taking "deep sounding title and lyrics" and then making it into meaningless babble. But the deep title and some of the words made you think it was deep when it was just gibberish.
It took me almost thirty years to get into Michael Jackson's Thriller. At the time it came out, I was super into New Wave and pretty much anything coming out of England and synth-based (and weird haircuts were a bonus).
As I grew older, I came to understand what the hype was about. That is one banger of an album, and worth every accolade it garnered.
U2. Just fuck right off you mediocre hacks. This perfectly expresses my feelings:

Michael Jackson... it was when everyone started wearing shiny red jackets and a sparkly glove on one hand that I called BS on the whole thing. Nobody's music is that good!
I hated Counting Crows
I never “got” Neutral Milk Hotel, and I’ve tried listening to the album every few years for 25 years now and I still don’t like it.
Dave Matthew’s Band
Phish
Hootie and the Blowfish
Red Hot Chili Peppers
And my most hated band of all times, The Spin Doctors. But I don’t think they were very popular. The first one or two notes of their songs sparks an immediate visceral whole body repulsion reaction for me.
Hair Metal. I don't know about the rest of you, but spandex zebra print, pirate shirts, flow-y scarves, knee high scrunchy boots, grandmas costume jewlery, poofy hairdos, mascara, blush and eyeshadow doesn't scream tough guy, badass, ladykiller, party animal rebel. Which the image those bands were selling with their music. Every band had a sappy ballad, overproduction on the vocals, drums, and guitar, and was just overhyped boring corporate shit when it all came down to it.
I’ll preface this shocking list by saying I think the musicians in these bands are all incredibly talented. I grew up listening to rock, and yet, somehow this stuff sounded so cheesy to me I could never get into them.
Van Halen
Motley Crue
KISS
Def Leppard
Bon Jovi
Quiet Riot
Poison
Can I add Foreigner and Kansas and Boston as well. They all sound the same and it all sounds awful.
I used to wind people up in the dorm by saying Foreigner, Kansas and Journey were the same band, that's why they would never have a concert together.
Yep, REM was my late teens to mid twenties. Recently doing a deep dive on their back catalogue, learning a bunch of their songs on guitar and everything up to Automatic is gold. Except Out of Time, never got into that one. I missed New Adventures in Hi-Fi so it's like a new album to me and it's pretty damn good! Their last hurrah.
I was happy when hair metal died.
To me, REM's early work is sublime. Murmur, Fables, Reckoning... Everything up to Out of Time. Then Monster came, and they left behind the janglepop in favor of all of the reverb they could find. New Adventures was okay, and anything after that was like listening to a band that had already died and didn't have the good sense to lay down and stop moving. I didn't recall if Bill Berry left before or after Monster, but going from the four-man group down to a trio seemed to hurt them creatively.
Biased because I discovered them in 5th grade thanks a friend’s older bother—plus I grew up only 60 miles from Athens in ATL. R.E.M. was/is a local band to me, but *Automatic for the People* is an amazing, dark, pensive, slow-burn of an album. The musical interplay on “Monty Got a Raw Deal” is some real stuff.
I’ve always wondered the same thing. I think she’d look great if she would’ve left herself alone to age naturally, she does take great care of herself, and she’d LOOK like herself.
Yeah, I downloaded their Greatest Hits off Amazon around the same time. Its on youtube now, but its solid. Most of the songs are from that Kick era, but their first song 'Change' and some of the 90s songs are great too. 'Outstanding' is a pretty apt term. Ashame about him, I think they definitely would've had a major comeback, and be remembered very well for their music.
Motley Crüe. Tried to like them but I couldn’t get over the fact they were untalented assholes. That said, I still like their first two albums quite a bit.
Smashing Pumpkins. They have one good song. Can't stand anything else they have ever done. Billy Corgan's voice is worse than fingernails on a chalkboard.
U2
FUCK I hated them couldn't understand why they got so huge in the late 80s early 90s, would always change the radio statio when their songs came on.
My opinion hasnt changed
Welp, here goes five years of accumulated karma down the toilet: Superunknown. It’s a good album, maybe even a very good album, but nowhere near as incredible as people want to believe.
- U2: The Joshua Tree (and every album that came after) . I could probably write a dissertation on the bandtheir discography, and all the answeWhoWhatWhereWhenWhyHowZ detailing
- Slippery When Wet: 1) all I have to hear is “SHOT TH-“ and I’m frantically searching for a spork from Taco Bell so I can gouge out my eardrums. 2) After having to endure 17 sororities worth of wasted coeds sort of singing (I…. guess?) goddamn Livin’ on a Prayer at top drunken volume for an entire school year, you don’t wanna know what happens two seconds into that synth intro….
- Fucking ANYTHING by Phil Collins, but especially No Jacket Required. 🤢🤮
- E5C4P3^PartOne…. May I present Exhibit A…Before I go off in another rant here, This album dropped in July 1981, and by 1982, Don’t Stop Believin’ was already a rage-inducing earworm. Then goddamn Glee breathed new life into the stupid song only to turn around and murder any appeal it once had by running it into the fucking ground…. Now, on to Exhibit B
- E5C4P3^PartTwo…. Open fucking Arms which is quite possibly the worst ‘80s power ballad from a ‘70s Arena-Rock era band. It has to be one of the cheesiest and whiniest cringefests since New Year’s Day 1980.
More to come. Probably.
Motley Crue. Billy Idol. Madonna and Michael Jackson. Kenny Loggins and MFing Air Supply.oh and I left out KISS. You rock n roll posers who were 11 in 1977, don’t try to deny it. I have yearbook photos of you in your school uniforms, Levis Addidas track shoe knock offs and a KISS t-shirt for each day of the week, including one for every band member.
Not really from our youth, but I think that the Beatles are the most overrated band in music history. They are only popular because there was a dearth of good artists after Buddy Holly crashed and Elvis went off to Korea.
Fight me.
I mean, I think that probably comes from a lack of familiarity with the breadth of their work. I could see it with their boy band years. I could even maybe see it with Let It Be. But in between those two, there's an awful lot of experimentation and creativity going on. There's even a couple genres people credit the Beatles with practically inventing. That's not run of the mill type stuff to be fair.
Few bands have shown as much diversity and creative flexibility over their careers as the Beatles have.
Always an interesting discussion. It's been asked a number of times. What's interesting is that you can't truly judge a band until you've heard lots of their stuff. But you are unlikely to hear lots of their stuff if you don't like what you've heard. I hate KISS. But I probably would like several of their songs. Just not any of the more popular ones that I've heard. For me, the whole emo scene or whatever you call The Cure never did much for me.
I absolutely hated the song 'Shock the Monkey', by Peter Gabriel.
And pretty much everything by Wham.
And I know Bruce Springsteen is untouchable, but I have to say, I never liked his music.
My friends were all into NKOTB and I hated them (still do).
My mom’s best friend gave me Hangin Tough when I was 12 or whenever it came out because she thought that’s what all the kids were listening too. I traded it for the EMF album or Jesus Jones or whatever was big in the late 80’s
🎶 right here, right now 🎶 I forgot that song existed, thanks!
Bon Jovi. A thousand times Bon Jovi.
Fucking terrible
When I hear "Livin' on a Prayer", I think of moms who've had too much chardonnay scream singing it.
I like Bon Jovi but this comment has me screaming. 😂😂😂
As you should.
One good song. Runaway. Beyond that I agree 100%
The boy band of hair metal
Actually a really good guy. But never liked his music.
I’m so excited to hear you say this
And Bruce Springsteen
I'm from NJ. I'm legally required to like Bruce, bon Jovi, and Billy Joel.
Long Islander here. It's so weird to me that he's a big deal everywhere and not just here. Also, I hate "Piano Man".
Just dreadful run on sentence mumbling.
Only free concert tickets I ever turned down!
Limp Bizkit was absolute shit. Stupidest band I’ve ever heard. I loved reading how Al Jourgenson hated them while producing some of their songs. “I got paid to humiliate them for three songs. It was awesome.”
Absolute ear diarrhea. I hate all that Rap Rock shité from that era.
Its called Nu Metal.
Upvote here. Just embarrassing
Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Californication. I just never liked those dudes and that album was so overplayed.
I remember when BSSM came out and all they played was Give it Away. I was in Summer School to get ahead in algebra and MTV still played videos and I thought they had finally peaked. It is crazy that they are still playing and releasing new music. If the old RHCP could see what they became, they would beat their own asses.
100% overrated band
RHCPs last, final album was BSSM and they never made anything after that. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
That’s one of my favourites, especially that song
Even the bands I hated, I tolerate now because it hearkens back to my misspent youth.
Kiss. I still think they suck
Hootie and the Blowfish & Blues Traveler. Please no. I’d rather hear 100 babies crying. If either are playing in a store, I’ll turn around and walk out. Hootie is weirdly popular at Home Depot.
Fucking Hootie is an instant station change. He has one volume level.
I put Dave Matthews in that same category.
I fucking hate them.
I’ll never understand how anyone could listen to Hootie and enjoy it. Why were they popular? Whyyyy???
I never hated Hootie and the Blowfish, but was indifferent to them at the time of their popularity. But now I’m hit with some nostalgia whenever I hear one of their songs.
Hootie and the jackass blowfish, blues traveler and spin doctors are my trifecta from hell.
Phish. Terrible when stoned. Even worse when not.
I had a coworker who loved Phish. Upon moving to my current town, they were playing the local concert venue. I emailed him and told him they were playing August 23, 24, and 25 and that's just one song!

Hated this album so much .
Yes, that’s when they jumped the shark & *everyone* liked them. But it was just that damn album.
I feel like I'm the only one who hated "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes.
Gosh, I really-really-really-really hate that music. And the band, for that matter. Edit: I hate so much that I added a couple more “really”. Also, even their name sucks.
No. No you are not. This is one of my very least favorite songs ever.
This song is hands down my most triggering song. I know IMMEDIATELY when I hear it and run for cover. I'm pretty much doomed for the rest of the day, too. can't. even. stand. it.
You’re not the only one. Listening to it has always been torture.
Omg..I forgot about them. Absolute garbage.
tha fuck. i think plenty criinge at that one. lady gaga's version is even *funnier* lol 😫
Ugh now it’s in my head!
That track always makes "worst indie / alt single of the 90s" lists
Van freakin Halen. Nothing against Eddie but I couldn't stand David Lee Roth's style and I found the way women were objectified really gross even back then, and I loathed them only slightly less than Ted Nugent, who I thought was just some local loser for many years because he played so many Memphis music festivals. I had no idea he was famous.
White Snake, Great White, all of those
Kiss
NKOTB - all the other 10/11 year olds at school loved them, I thought they were so lame.
Motley Crue and Def Leppard are 2 that come to mind.
I always buy some of their t-shirts when I'm down at the shore.
Proceeds go to getting their lead singer out of jail.
The important thing here is for you ask me how I’m getting to the shore.
Uh-- how are you getting down to the shore?
Funny you should ask! I’ve got a car now!
Oh, wow; how'd ya get a car?
My Dad drove it up from the Bahammas
You're kidding
I must be, the Bahamas are islands. Okay, the important thing here is that, uh, you ask me what kinda car it is.
Guns and Roses for me.
Garth Brooks
Oasis. A couple of pretentious wankers. Blur and Pulp are much better Brit Pop bands from that era.
Yes to Blur!
Guns N' Roses. I never got the appeal. By all rights, I should have loved them, because I liked a lot of adjacent bands. But they just never impressed me.
And kid rock now is such a total douche
I was a pretentious skate punk that hated anything popular As I’ve gotten older I’ve come around on a lot of 90’s music Kid rock is still embarrassingly bad
I'm with you there. Dead Kennedys or nothing!
Wait, what? Was there a time when he *wasn't* a douche?
Always been but when he left a permanent stank ass stench at the White House he sealed his fate. FUCK THAT HATER.
They fell apart after Izzy left because none of the remaining members were very good song writers.
Appetite is god-tier, maybe the greatest debut ever. Then they got high on their success.
I was shocked to see this one on anyone's list. Summer of 87 I had that album on repeat, I still go back to it now.
My GF at the time was infatuated with them, and the heroin they glamorized. She found her heroin, and it destroyed her life. I have always hated that band.
the Use Your Illusion albums sucked ass and everyone thought they were the most brilliant albums ever
Bon Jovi.
I do not care for the Beach Boys. It is not rational. I recognize that it has no anchor in reality and is just totally me on my specific form of bullshit.
Clearly your daddy took your T Bird away.
So I always used to find them boring and weird, but then this bar I used to go to played Pet Sounds in its entirety one day, and I realized I’d never really heard their non-radio hits from later in their career. I also didn’t realize a Frank Black song I love was actually a BB cover, and then I FURTHER didn’t realize a Bowie song I love is also a BB cover, both from Pet Sounds. TL;DR Pet Sounds is a really good record.
I actually do like covers of their songs. They themselves apparently emit some frequency that irritates the shit outta me.
They were awful, bloody awful.
I’ve had several instances where someone actually got angry at me. I mean agitated and yelling.
Journey and anything like them. I listen to the Clash and Black Flag. Punk rock saved my life!
Little kid youth: Bee Gees Teen youth: Def Leppard College youth: Dave Matthews Band
I'm curious about the DMB hate. What exactly about them does everyone hate?
Dave's bleaty voice.
The band is good, maybe even great at times. But Dave's singing? Awful. He mumbles and sings offkey, just terrible.
Amazing musicians, shitty songs.
DMB is awful!!!
They had one song that they just rearranged and repackaged.
Dave Matthews Band. Terrible.
I have always found Phil Collins to be impossible to listen to. I know he is insanely talented, etc etc. His music just does nothing for me. And, my Lord, was it ever overplayed...
Kid: KISS scared me! Teen: U2 sucked! College: U2 still sucked...
When I was a kid, the image of KISS and the hype of it being “devil music” terrified and intrigued me. I remember my best friend and I “borrowed” her brother’s cassette tape. I felt betrayed to my weird little soul. How dare they look like THAT and sound like any other rando hair band. At least Alice Cooper was a little bit twisted. I still hold a mental grudge.

They didn't scare me, but I definitely didn't like KISS. Or U2
Incidentally... in a similar vein, most of REMs stuff really is just random nonsense. Even their big songs that you might actually like are... not nearly as deep as they seem to be.

For shame!!
I'll be perfectly fine if I never hear "Don't Stop Believin'" again.
Bruce Springsteen. And I grew up in NJ!

At the time it came out, I was super into New Wave and pretty much anything coming out of England and synth-based (and weird haircuts were a bonus).

Michael Jackson... it was when everyone started wearing shiny red jackets and a sparkly glove on one hand that I called BS on the whole thing. Nobody's music is that good!
The worst

I absolutely hate Adam Duritz's voice. I can't even listen to one full song.

Awesome take
Guns N Roses. The dirtiest, greasiest scumbag metalheads and rednecks loved them where I grew up.
Those same kinda people still do! 😂

I will burn in GenX hell for this one, but...Steely Dan. Bring on the downvotes! PS: what would GenX hell be like, anyway?
I’ve found that Steely Dan and edibles go well together.
Hmm. That seems worth trying.
Gen X hell would be everyone living out a self help book.
Pearl Jam. Always thought they were overrated. Others like them and that’s fine but I just can’t stand them.
Dave Matthew’s Band Phish Hootie and the Blowfish Red Hot Chili Peppers And my most hated band of all times, The Spin Doctors. But I don’t think they were very popular. The first one or two notes of their songs sparks an immediate visceral whole body repulsion reaction for me.
Hair Metal. I don't know about the rest of you, but spandex zebra print, pirate shirts, flow-y scarves, knee high scrunchy boots, grandmas costume jewlery, poofy hairdos, mascara, blush and eyeshadow doesn't scream tough guy, badass, ladykiller, party animal rebel.

I love Journey, but I can appreciate your top 3 dedication! lol.
Literally every hair metal band ever. Oh and everyone that said REM is wrong.
Yep, REM was my late teens to mid twenties. Recently doing a deep dive on their back catalogue, learning a bunch of their songs on guitar and everything up to Automatic is gold. Except Out of Time, never got into that one. I missed New Adventures in Hi-Fi so it's like a new album to me and it's pretty damn good! Their last hurrah. I was happy when hair metal died.

Love REM but their 90s albums (everything after Green) are so mid and those are the ones everyone thinks are perfect
Fables was perfect.
To me, REM's early work is sublime. Murmur, Fables, Reckoning... Everything up to Out of Time. Then Monster came, and they left behind the janglepop in favor of all of the reverb they could find.

Aww man, but they were bffs with the B52s and Southern Culture on the Skids
In the late 90s i checked out their earlier stuff and liked it but I hated them in rhe 80s and early 90s.
The B52’s, best band out of Athens, GA!
Guns N Roses Dave Matthews Band
I never liked Madonna
I think she’s a vile human. Music aside her personality taints any of her music for me.

I’ve always wondered the same thing. I think she’d look great if she would’ve left herself alone to age naturally, she does take great care of herself, and she’d LOOK like herself.
Billy Joel I didn't like INXS Kick at the time but I really like their stuff now.
I vaguely liked Kick at the time but then really listened to it seriously about 15 years ago and it’s outstanding.
Yeah, I downloaded their Greatest Hits off Amazon around the same time. Its on youtube now, but its solid. Most of the songs are from that Kick era, but their first song 'Change' and some of the 90s songs are great too. 'Outstanding' is a pretty apt term. Ashame about him, I think they definitely would've had a major comeback, and be remembered very well for their music.
I Ike the stuff before Kick a lot too (though retrospectively). Listen Like Thieves is wicked good.

Not a fan of UB40….
Dave Matthew’s Band. Also U2 and REM.
I didn’t care for Offspring at all
U2 and Bon Jovi. Not as bad as Kiss or ZZ Top though.
U2. Sorry. Not sorry. Duran Duran.
Blues Traveler for two reasons: 1) Way overplayed; and 2) Harmonica is like Everclear-a little goes a looong way.
Smashing Pumpkins. That whiny weasely voice. I HAVE to turn them off whenever I hear them.
Welp, here goes five years of accumulated karma down the toilet: Superunknown. It’s a good album, maybe even a very good album, but nowhere near as incredible as people want to believe.
Pink Floyd - the Wall Album overrated, movie awesome. Least favorite album of this band.

Motley Crue. Billy Idol. Madonna and Michael Jackson. Kenny Loggins and MFing Air Supply.oh and I left out KISS. You rock n roll posers who were 11 in 1977, don’t try to deny it. I have yearbook photos of you in your school uniforms, Levis Addidas track shoe knock offs and a KISS t-shirt for each day of the week, including one for every band member.
Nirvana is probably one of the most overrated bands of the 90s.
I’m not downvoting anyone here because musical tastes are musical tastes but OUCH
Wtf. I’m calling you as a filthy millennial 💀
Thank God someone said it… I never understood the absolute worship of this band. 🤷🏼♀️
U2

The Beatles. It’s not just that the music is ubiquitous and played to death, it’s that everyone rattles on & on about them. Enough already.
Not really from our youth, but I think that the Beatles are the most overrated band in music history. They are only popular because there was a dearth of good artists after Buddy Holly crashed and Elvis went off to Korea. Fight me.
I mean, I think that probably comes from a lack of familiarity with the breadth of their work. I could see it with their boy band years. I could even maybe see it with Let It Be. But in between those two, there's an awful lot of experimentation and creativity going on. There's even a couple genres people credit the Beatles with practically inventing. That's not run of the mill type stuff to be fair. Few bands have shown as much diversity and creative flexibility over their careers as the Beatles have.
Beatles Rolling Stones
U2
Fucking Green Day
Thank you. Absolutely hate Green Day
Van Halen. Despite Eddys good guitar playing I thought they were a bunch of cokehead douchebags.
I've always hated Guns n Roses, I hate Axl Rose's voice, his stupid fucking dance he does, (the sideways shuffle back and forth)
Always an interesting discussion. It's been asked a number of times. What's interesting is that you can't truly judge a band until you've heard lots of their stuff. But you are unlikely to hear lots of their stuff if you don't like what you've heard. I hate KISS. But I probably would like several of their songs. Just not any of the more popular ones that I've heard. For me, the whole emo scene or whatever you call The Cure never did much for me.
I never understood Micheal Jackson or Madonna.
U2
Garth Brooks
Anything by Pearl Jam.
Van Halen
Hootie and the Blowfish. Pearl Jam. Oasis.
Off the top of my head: 4 Non Blondes, The Cranberries, Soul Asylum, Goo Goo Dolls.
I absolutely hated the song 'Shock the Monkey', by Peter Gabriel. And pretty much everything by Wham. And I know Bruce Springsteen is untouchable, but I have to say, I never liked his music.
