80's metalhead burnouts will always love Metallica! Oh soo damn wrong. As an 80's metalhead burnout I have yet to love Metallica. Maiden for Ever!!!
Faith No More...now thats the way to go.

I hate that Al Green song, but only because I had to hear it 8 times a day at work for months on end. Sorry.

Surely no one can hate The Pogues?

I think Little Richard may well be right. If no one here hates him, we'll send him a plaque.

I don't think the Beach Boys should be a contender, they fucking blow, I don't care what anyone says about Pet Sounds, it fucking sucks...a lot;

You have a cold, dark, loveless soul!

(maybe you could sell it to a goth..)

Gah! Beachboys!!! Visions of John Stamos playing bongos on Kokomo still haunt me... I hate them. I also loath James Brown.
Johnny Cash...he rocks.

Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean"

I fact, I know loads of lither's'll hate it, but that's because they like Metallica. And Brian May's gang-a-parched arsemullets.

Yes Beach Boys are good yes.

This thread has convinced me that if everyone who posts on this board ever gets together for that big party (assuming we can find a venue taht everyone agrees with and a date where everyone's free...yes, those are two pretty big assumptions), the DJ is going to have a nervous breakdown 'cause everything he plays will be dismissed as "crap" by a significant portion of the audience while on average three people start a display of acrobatic gyrating on the dancefloor.

Sorry for the threadrot...may I be locked in a small cubicle and forced to listen to Yanni records for a period not exceeding 72 hours.

I have, in my time, met people who claim to hate Elvis. But I think they're just lying to do my head in.

I know that, sometimes, people will like or dislike a given thing just to be reactionary. And I know that you all know this, too.

So, Riz: Beth Gibbons no, John Stamos guesting yes?

You are a weird and twisted man.

Well, ok, Stamos, bongos - doesn't sound like their greatest moment, but C'MON MAN! We're talking THE BEACH BOYS here!!

Portishead? Ahhhh-HAHAHAHAHA.

C'mon peeps, let's crack out the Morcheeba, Massive Attack and Groove Armada while we're at it and have ourselves a dinner party....

Oh, I think we should all slap that crowd with wet fish till their bodies stink as bad as their souls.

about the portishead thing.
the point i was making is that i can't imagine them rousing such a strong emotion or passion of pure hate in anybody. i mean, you might not care about them or think that they have anything to offer. but they just don't warrant any deep amount of hate.

i can live with Portishead, but it's exactly the blandness and inoffensiveness of similar stuff like Massive Attack that makes me want to throw grenades into coffee shops all day long.

Dunno about now, but back in the mid nineties angry loners were queueing up round several blocks to kick Portishead's teeth in. I remember a guy on some mailing list getting into a right old frothy state, claiming - in all seriousness - that their music would be directly responsible for deaths in the year 2030.

well...... each to their own, i guess......
