I have a few:

1. The Doors... most overrated band ever.

2. Mama's and the Papas...make me wretch.

3. Styx - though eventually I grew to ALMOST like them

4. Van Hagar ... though Sammy solo is "OK".

5. George Thorogood

6. The Ramones.... WTF?

And when I was younger, I really hated Jimi Hendrix.... now I sort of enjoy him.
 
I couldn't stand Led Zeppelin. Still don't much care for them to this day.

Deep Purple was another. How many times can ya hear Smoke on the Water before ya hate it? :eek:

I'll let ya know when I reach that point. :sqlaugh:
 
Sex Pistols.....:puke: I liked some of the punk bands but could never understand how those guys ever got a recording contract.. :dontknow:


Grateful Dead would have to be on my list also....:sqwink: There's a couple studio recordings of them that I do like, but overall I thought they were a big snooze-fest.




Bands that I liked but were a big disappointment live in concert:

Cheap Trick
Journey
INXS

We can't be friends anymore!!!

DLR is a complete ahole and is one of the most overrated (if not the most) front men in the history of music. He can't sing live and it is all about "me me me" onstage, basically have a "screw the audience" attitude.

But as to your original question:

5. Green Day - I love American Idiot, but that is it. They are just the same thing over and over, and 21st Century Breakdown is nothing but a very very bad American Idiot knock off.

4. Garth Brooks - Just never understood why people thought he was so talented. Sounded like every other country guy back then to me.

3. Motley Crue - so many other bands from back then were much much better, they just had the drug use to keep them in the news

2. The Doors - a very bad Americanized version of The Beatles

1. Do you really need me to say it?
 
I never cared much for the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix.
I do however love the Ramones,White Stripes and the Sex Pistols so what the heck do I know. Actually anything Jack White does comes out sounding cool to me even his country stuff.
Oh yeah sorry Papa but I never liked Pink Floyd either.

I think I have to clarify. Jack White is interesting, but I just cant handle a band that can't keep time.
 
Can't say I found any bands terrible, except a couple in concert...

One of my fav bands of all time, Aerosmith, totally sucked in concert. I saw them twice in the late 70's/early 80's. You couldn't even tell what they were playing :sqerr:

First time was in New Haven, with Styx as the opener -- Styx brought the house down -- totally awesome. Then Aerosmith came on, and after 2 songs, people started leaving -- they were that bad. Gave them another chance a year or so later, and they were even worse. Totally disappointed.


Honorable mention goes to the Smashing Pumpkins -- they were horrible live, one of the opening acts before The Stones. Granted, I wasn't into their music, but they sounded like a bowl of oatmeal (similar to Aerosmith).
 
My old father-in-law used to say Garth Brooks was buying his own records because nobody else would pay for that stuff. :D

Aerosmith, I can take or leave. Fine musician work... just not much in the vocals department.

The Doors, Greatful Dead and others were more of a cult following. Jim Morrison could play. But much of his fame (or notoriety if you will) came from drug use.

Pink Floyd, well they're an aquired taste. Roger Waters' guitar work is instantly recognizeable to any PF fan. They'd put on huge lighting shows at their concerts... long before everyone and his brother was doing it. Many of their early albums were sleepers, I concur. :)
 
Thanks Rick, I forgot about the Pumpkins.....totally overhyped "average" band.
 
Some new, some repeats

Pearl Jam
U2
Oasis
Rush (love Neal Peart tho....Getty Lee.....ick)
Jonas Brothers
Garbage
NIN
Marilyn Manson (count as a band?)
Brooks and Dunn (why they hell do they let Kix Brooks on stage....let alone with a mic)
Sugarland


How about an underrated thread?!
 
Pink Floyd
Fleetwood Mac
Spice Girls
Led Zepplin
Bruce Springstein.
Jimmy Buffet.
Enya.
Asia. Someone still owes me an apology for that one!


I can't understand the hate on the Doors, Garth or Dylan. Some of the greatest groups/artists ever.
