Adele
Morrissey
Oasis
David Bowie
Complete rubbish to me.....
Feel free to defend them or add your own...

Beatles
Pet Shop Boys are the one I really can't stand, I mean there are some bands like Queen that I don't like, but I can at least see how some people like their overblown soft rock type rubbish, but the Pet Shop Boys are just a couple of dull blokes with a cheap casio keyboard.
I lkie adele.........i think liking or disliking things is a hard one to argue or explain........you weither do or you don't
I love listening to donovan...but i can't tell you why
+1 for Morrissey *shudder*
I've tried, but me and Lou Reed are destined never to see to eye
If Neil Young could refrain for singing ever again I would be a happy bunny (nice tunes and guitarwork I'll give you that, but that voice....)
My radios are mostly tuned to Radio 4 or Planet Rock so I don't get much opportunity to be offended by new stuff.
If it doesn't get whacked out on Fenders and Gibsons plugged into a Marshall stack I don't understand it
How Paul McCartney is still popular is baffling.
He's not.
Foo fighters
Not complete rubbish, I just don't see why anyone would get excited by them, just
The Carpenters. I mean, really?
+1 pleasant tunes, not my cup of tea, but I don't understand their god-like status
Morrissey is a total knob, but I do like listening to The Smiths
If you really want to make me and put on some Proclaimers
+1 for the Beatles or anything Paul McCartney related
Oh and sorry DV, but my absolute fave is Mr Bowie
i love the carpenters
I'm sorry Seren, I really am but there is something about her voice that makes me want to stick my fingers through my eyeballs and pull my brain out.
Anything to do with hip-hop or what I see is now called 'r'n'b' I just don't understand.
Abba are shit
Morrissey is shit
Leonard Cohen is dull
Elvis - nope. never got him.
Queen - live - fantastic. to listen to - annoying. likewise the Stones
Showing my age, but I never really got the Electric Light Orchestra. These days, I don't understand dirgey stuff such as Coldplay and Snow Patrol.
By the by, for a masterly take-off of the Pet Shop Boys....

I love anything from classical, to rock, to punk, but I really can't stand anything that is listed under dance music be it hip hop, disco or techo/house. Good call on the Pet Shop Boys, as a child of the 80's I had to suffer that dirge alond with bloody Erasure almost constantly to the point that now just one note from their songs makes me want to cut my ears off in protest.
I'll listen to anything if I am in the right mood. I agree that some artists / bands you have to be selective with and I often find that I prefer the tracks that didn't get released as singles. Maybe the singles get over played.
I can't understand why people go completely mad over one particular artist or band.
oh yeh.. rap.. what is that all about..? The words..? You can't hear the words...!
Isn't that something only old people say?
yeh.. its all thump, thump, thump noise....
I love Van and Leonard Cohen and can't abide things like acdc and The who leave me cold
Rap is shit too, and techno
Am I showing my age?!
Coldplay - make me lose the will to live
Kate Bush - AAAAAAAAAARRRGH
Tom Jones.
The Eagles.
Elton John.
Rod Stewart.
Tina Turner.
Supertramp.
Pink Floyd.
