Bands that are an automatic skip when they start playing.

[Mike Honcho 5,084]

The two that get absolutely no leeway from me are REO Speedwagon and Boston.  I'm not suggesting they make bad music, but the music they made just does not work for me at all. Not one pleasure center in my brain lights up at all when I hear either of them. 

[avoiding injuries 1,505]

Taylor Swift

[Fnord 2,051]

Feel the same about REO Speedwagon. Red Hot Chili Peppers for me. What few good songs they've had got so overplayed I hate them all. I feel mostly the same about a lot of the big grunge era bands like Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, STP, Soundgarden, the list goes on. At one time I enjoyed them and that time was 30 years ago. 25 if I'm being generous.

It would be easy to list off just any pop singer/group, because that is not my type of music.

 

But within my type of music (mostly classic rock), i find myself skipping over Queen a lot.  Definitely not a knock on them.  But I have a hard time listening to Killer Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody for the 14 billionth time.

Yeah, I picked REO and Boston, because they are typically music/genres that I listen to a lot---but for whatever reason they absolutely don't click with me at all. 

 

[Fireballer 2,639]

The Doors

[Tree of Knowledge 1,691]

Pretty much any grunge music and 99% of music from the last 20 years that isn’t from a “band”

Get off my lawn.  

[Hawkeye21 2,380]

Most hair bands.

[BunnysBastatrds 2,306]

Foreigner, KISS, and The Beatles. I respect these bands, but I just can’t listen to them anymore. My lady is a Beatles fan and I am a Stones. fan to the core. 

[posty 2,609]

Led Zeppelin 

Journey with their “one-hit wonder” tune

Same.  And I was in college in the late 80s.  I just never got into that genre for the most part.

I could have written this. 

Punk Rock like the RHCP, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash... out. Then you go on to mention the Grunge stuff of the 90s too. Basket and a trip to the free throw line.

[GobbleDog 976]

My wife, a soft-spoken lily-white Christian girl from Alabama, for some inexplicable reason loves ... thug-life gangster rap. I don't get it. Every year we drive the kid to camp and then the 10 hour drive home... ugh.

Waylon is the man along with Willy, the Oulaws. Great music.

Yet, everything here mentioned is a zillion times better than 99 percent of the sh!t coming out today.

I remember the Kids In The Hall had a real funny skit on being a Doors fan.  I liked it because the Doors suck

I’m not here to defend Journey, but the label One Hit Wonder is inapplicable.

Nickelback

Anytime, which is very rare, I've seen over the years that someone likes Nickelback, I think to myself, their life went wrong somewhere.

[iam90sbaby 2,472]

Any 80s song is auto skip for me. 60s/70s music is great, 80s is dog water. 

[easilyscan 856]

For me, it's not about the band itself, as much as certain songs by those bands that were overplayed.

While I like some of Queen's stuff, I absolutely despise crazy Little thing called love, & we will rock you.

Some others. Jack and Diane, my angel is a centerfold, hey Jude, how many times do they have to repeat Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na hey Jude!

 

[wiffleball 4,788]

The Doors. 

Can't reach the dial fast enough.

It’s a joke…. Because terrestrial radio and even Sirius only plays “Don’t Stop Belevin’” when a Journey song is played…

Waitagodamminutehere.

I didn't say anything about punk rock. RHCP ARE NOT PUNK. I know this because they suck ass and punk kicks ass. I will die a gruesome, mangled death on this hill.

That said, while I have undying love for the Ramones and Pistols, I'm not exactly seeking them out for new Spotify playlists. I was always ambivalent about the Clash. First punk show I ever saw was Green Day right before Dookie came out ($4 all ages show) and it changed my life. But I can't stand them anymore, either. 

For funsies, here's the song GD stole the American Idiot riff from (later settled out of court for an undisclosed sum):

Yes, Kansas and most of those prog rock bands. Also Ozzy and Black Sabbath and the rest of those devil bands.

Good call on Hey, Jude…. One of the worst songs ever recorded…
