Everyone always talks about their favorite bands but what about the bands you really can't stand. Overrated? Unoriginal? or just plain bad.
Would love to see who people really dislike and some good debates about why.
Before i add the bands i despise/dislike, i just wanna say, sorry if you like bands i mention or if they mean a lot to you, this is my opinion and i don't dislike people who like these just the music and the people who perform it.
First up hmmm
Bring Me The Horizon - Arghh where to start, they come from the same city as me, we one of them does yet they claim they are a 'steel city' band lol.
The lead singer is one of the most pretentious people i have ever seen yet he is idolised by the bands fans as if some pioneer. He went to school with one of my best mates and bullied her for years because she was a rocker yet decided to switch and hang around with her friends in later years after all the stick he had given her. Theres also the fact of their music, the singers voice is just poor, okay he has a good hardcore vocal range but its near impossible to make out what he is saying. People who criticize him usually say the band makes up for it, bu tit seems so generic, the guitar are so similar to other hardcore bands and are just attempting to copy bands that are established in the genre such as As I Lay Dying and Black Dahlia Murder.
To finish, they are overrated, unoriginal and arrogant.
H.I.M - The heartogram logo is to tattooists what the short back and sides is to a barber. Another incredibly pushed media driven band. Its no t so much their music that annoys me it is their look and image which it wouldn't suprise me if the logo merch outsells CDs, but the lead singer is the worst. He's at the front of everything, videos, album covers. A band isn't just about the lead singer, he seems to get all the coverage.
Madina Lake - Another generic screaming pop punk band, we've seen it a million times before yet to 15's and under these guys are like the next big thing. I just don't understand hows these do well in a medium that has so many bands doing the same thing better.
Hard Fi - i don't think i really need to explain why, just listen.
The Rakes - that song 22 grand job is possibly the most annoying song imo of 2006, indy my arse, just another one of the many getting in on the resurfacing of brit pop/indy era. They can f*ck off coz theres a billion better bands out there that do exactly the same.
Cute Is What We Aim For - A band from the myspace generation with a stupid name, doing the same pop punk we heard back in 2003 with Allister, Homegrown etc the P-Rock days. This band seem to get a lot of attention from the media but bands like Hit The Lights and Houston Calls really do it better and deserve so much more credit than this lackluster band.
I'll add more when i can think.
