The Eagles 

Steve Miller Band

Bruce Springsteen

Rage Against the Machine

Korn

Aerosmith

Fall Out Boy

Bon Jovi

 

Those are the only ones I can think of now.  More later.

Who do you think is awful that is popular/critically acclaimed in all of music history? Solo acts are welcome too!

I really could care less about the Boss. I never did like him when he was at his height of popularity and don't like him now.

that Lady Gaga - I don't understand...

I agree with every single one.

But Rage Against the Machine!! That's a big mistake there, j.

Can I add: The Ramones.

 It's actually "couldn't care less",  & I saw Bruce in his prime numerous times in the '70s. You want proof of his greatness, watch the '75 Hammersmith Odeon concert. The last time I saw him was in '81 (The River) & he was hospitalized for exhaustion a few days later. I've been sorta lukewarm since, but the '70s...

Coldplay, The Fray, any bands that do shit like this

Linkin Park-ugh

CCR- I don't mind them sometimes but I find John Fogerty's voice to be grating

I don't get all this anti-Clash sentiment on here

How could Rage Against the Machine be thrown out there?  The music is unique and I admire the political nature of the lyrics.  They are also one of the most electrifying live bands I have ever seen.

Lynyrd Skynyrd- Redneck bullshit

skynard's one of the worst because there is clearly a lot of talent present, but it's all channeled into the buttrock

If you don't like it, you don't get it.

 I'm not anti-Clash, I just don't get their appeal.  I'm not a fan of political music.  I want to be entertained, not preached to!

I'm not a huge Skynyrd fan, but I do like their popular stuff, even though Sweet Home Alabama, is way overplayed.  As far as southern rock goes, their right up there with, James Gang!

Amen to that.  That goes for books, music, tv, and movies.

 I like to drive my monster pickup truck up to the lake in the summer wearing a cowboy hat and cranking Sweet Home Alabama.  Life is good.

i can understand that but are you really that incapable of ignoring the lyrics and just enjoying the tune?

(i literally can't hear lyrics unless i pull out the liner notes. i consider this to be a huge blessing in my life)

It's not like I dislike The Clash that much.  I just don't see what's so special about them.  On the other hand, I'm a huge Ramones fan, and I know a lot of people on here don't like them and thats cool, too.  I've always found , that your either a big fan of one or the other.  It's possible to like both, but you can't like them the same.  Saying that, as a fan of punk, or whatever you wanna call it, I respect the Clash, I just don't get it.

Can't you just feel the love? It's so beautiful.
