Lincoln Park Korn/slipknot (not that I object to stupid noisey metal at all but what the FUCK is that hopeless strangled croak coming from the bass?????/)
Ahhh what's the point, I hate almost everything that'a remotely normal or popular with the kidz, always have, always will (with ocassional exceptions of course.....I mean just cos a record sells doesn't mean it's MADE to sell, and therefore utter wank).
Oh, and I know it's a bit old hat, but I'd really like to kill and dismember Black Lace in front of their families and use their graves as latrines for Glasto. I consider them on a par with Hitler, Pol Pot and Genghis Khan in the most evil cunts in history hall of fame.
Sorry, you were perhaps expecting sense?

No, babble and clever insults is what I was expecting. Well done, and yes Linkin Park is absolutely terrible. I never was too keen on Radiohead or Arcade fire either.
Half the shit churned out these days seems to be praised by a music press still following the career of the Rolling Stones. Another shit band is the current Cure Lineup.
artic monkeys
just shite, remind me of shitty high school bands full of over confident little shits with half decent so they must sound good
and tracy chapman except for fast car, the rest is just dullllllllll, could b/cos she in 7"6 and scares the shit of out me

Wow, what cunts!
Absolutely unbearable? Let´s see...
Foo Fighters, Coldplay, The Libertines, Hole, Creed, Bush, Green Day, Fall Out Boy (they're sick and that LWTUA cover is outrageous!), Franz Ferdinand, Pearl Jam, The Offspring, Linkin Park, Rage Against The Machine, Limp Bizkit, Blink 182, Korn, Goo Goo Dolls, Slipknot, Panic! At The Disco, Metallica and boy-bands in general.

Seconded, and I recently add to my list Thirty seconds to mars. Shit eco friendly politics, and shitty music don't mesh well.

Must have to be American to enjoy many of those you mentioned... 
Not that yer entirely wrong, but most of those bands have excellent albums or songs, but none of the above have a spotless catalog
My list is almost the same:
Foo Fighters - They drive me batshit, the only reason why anyone gives a shit about them is the guy's from Nirvana. Mediocre songs with the mandatory 'goofy' video. Have to admit 'Everlong' is alright.
Fall Out Boy - Insufferable, everything about them, from their song titles to their videos.
Franz Ferdinand - I can't put my finger on why I hate them so much. I tried to get into them but I had to just admit that I couldn't stand them. On paper, they should be..decent?
Linkin Park - They know one song, and it sucks and isn't remotely original. 10 million albums sold...
Rage Against The Machine - probably my most hated band of all time. I'd be here all night if I had to explain all the reasons why. They're about as smart as Limp Bizkit but they've fooled people into thinking they're subversive
plus Britney Spears, all boy bands, Lady Gaga
well boy, war, october arn't that bad, in compared to bronski beat, metallica
but U2 make it into a league of their own should be shot, along with simpily ginger, afi(any emo shit for that matter) george micheal,
i've also developed a massive hatred for The Associates, even though few weeks ago i loved them

Foo Fighters - They have alot of good singles, but nothing I would rush out to the store for, but if they're on the radio I enjoy them
Fall Out Boy - Songs are disgustingly catchy, to the point I find myself enjoying them, even though I know with all my fiber of being I should hate them
Franz Ferdinand - Concur
Linkin Park - Metora is an excellent album, my guess is you haven't tried it. My intial feelings were the same as yours, but acciedently heard this album, and it is amazing... everything else of theirs is shite
Rage Against the machine - Though I concur with your comments on the lyrics, the self titled album, musically, is fabulous... I just ignore the lyrics because the music is that good... the other albums are just trying to rehash the first album sound and don't pull it off.
modern pop music - concur

bunch of c__ts.. Put them in Tora Bora in November 2001, together with the Lighthouse Family, Simply Red, The Killers etc..

Are you kidding? The begining years of Joel are outstanding... granted in the 80s, and there after he went to complete shite... but I love old Joel.

weirdest post in whole thread & that's saying something!
can understand that people like different things & do not claim to be a joel fan, but to say that everybody that likes him is just pretending to is ridiculous.

I'd have to say that 'piano man' is one of the most dreadful fucking songs ever recorded.

Please allow me to explain my ridiculous, flippant remark about Billy Joel. You see, the night previous to my posting, I had been working completely sober at a feverish pace serving Margaritas and shots of Tequila to drunken Cinco de Mayo revelers without a break, drink or even a cigarette for approximately 9 hours. During this time, Joel's "Zanzibar" had come on the sound system approximately 4 times. That's an average of once every two hours. Why Billy Joel was playing while celebrating The Independence Of Mexico, I have no idea. Afterwards, by 3 am, I had nearly drank myself into a stupor, went home and passed out. I know. Stupid, right? Hungover, the next morning, I decided to drink some water and coffee and relax all while "Zanzibar" played on a continuous loop in my head. After reading the title of the thread, "Shit Bands", I had discovered the perfect outlet for me to vent my petty annoyance of Joel's hit, "Zanzibar". After posting, I hadn't thought of the melody or word for several days. After revisiting the thread, I realized how truly ridiculous and bizarre and hasty my posting had been. I realize that Billy Joel is not a "band" and understand why some people may genuinely love his music. I regret taking the earnest title of the thread for granted and posting my irreverent, slap-happy remarks.

i like Joel (early stuff though) and you are right, that song is the shite of the shite.
Note though that Cinco De mayo is not celerated in Mexico, and they don't recognize it as their offical indepedence day, so Joel playing that day really doesn't matter then....

Level 42?!
I like-em a lot ... do ya know that Mark King plays the bass in a very unique way ... just like Peter Hook. That's original to me.
They're back on touring with the original line up and that includes Wally Badarou & Mike Lindup.
The band recently played at The Indigo2 in London and is set to announce more concerts later in 2009.
U2 are a bunch of rip-off cunts! 
Razorlight
The Pogues
The Enemy
The Killers
Simple Minds
UB40
U2
Eminem
Reverend and the makers
Spandau Ballet
Nickelback
Green Day
Anything EMO
thats enough shite music for now.
also any wobbly voice RnB shite.
If a lot of typical American white guys like a band, it usually is pretty much shit in most ways.
...
yea! that's what you all say now but, i bet these 'shit bands' you've listed are in and part of your music collections...

There's too many...but then again I don't spend my time dwelling over the topic.
Emo, grunge, and hiphop/rap musicians and bands in general come to mind.
Boy bands, emo bands, corny hip-hop (why would I want to hear about pimps, ho's, bling, etc. Public Enemy, Coolio, and Dr. Dre are not corny, imo), anything in the top 40.

I hate Pearl Jam more for their influence then the actual band.
They opened the floodgates for a million copycat bands that all have that same 'banging on bathtub' snare sound and dull, over-earnest macho male singers pretending to be angst-ridden and deep, basically half the shitty american grunge bands of the last 15 years.
Pearl Jam themselves have some amazing early songs, have to admit.

Not wanting to defend Cozzie or anything, but the phrase 'anything in the top 40' would suggest as in NOW.. I.e. not 26 years ago before her birth.
And Pearl Jam are shite. Nickelback should be executed.
Bar the usual suspects (never been into grunge, mainstream pop, "urban", most metal etc) I'd have to single out The Feeling as a band I would readily associate the word "unbearable" with. Their atrocious, FM friendly, soft rock, soppy chorus ridden WANK seemed to follow me around from radio to radio a few years ago. I swear. Never Be Lonely and Love It When You Call are just a couple of their crimes... I could imagine Love It When You Call in particular being piped through the PA of Guantanamo Bay by the CIA with great success. Waterboarding's got nothing on it in terms of effective torture.
I'll add Mika in as a brucie bonus; a preening tosser sporting truly insipid music and on stage theatrics. Someone should really tell him he's not Freddie Mercury but just a curly haired cnut pretending to be Freddie Mercury. Badly. Mind you, he's been nowhere to be seen lately so if you're reading this Mr Mika, keep the sabbatical up
EDIT (one more!): The Darkness / Justin Hawkins... one massive glam-metal-cliché joke stretched ludicrously thin. On borrowed time the moment they picked up their instruments in some shitty Lowestoft backstreet boozer no doubt. Even most of their fans had enough after an album and a half. Won't be missed.
Hey Edel, hey Burt,
When I said the top 40 in that post, I meant the US Billboard top 40. I certainly did not mean the UK charts (in which the songs on the top 30 would get a chance to play on Top of the Pops).
P.S. So glad that NOOL is back. BTW, it went down on HK's birthday. Karma.
