I have missed this thread somehow. Here goes:

Rush
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Ozzy

There must be more, so I'll add later.

...If you cut Rush from this list, I completely agree. I adore Rush, but the other three I couldn't care less about. Don't get Zep or Floyd, Ozzy is annoying.

And I was right. I forgot to mention The Doors.

I agree. Never understood there appeal. A friend gave me an MP3 CD with most of their discography.... I only like 2 songs. The rest are either "meh," or flat out pointless. However, thanks to The Doors we have Amorphis, so I'll give them a pass lol
 
I don't know if it's really regarded as a classic, but I'm honestly not a big fan of A Matter of Life and Death by Maiden. I don't really like the album cover either. I think it would've been better if Eddie was more in the foreground and not in the background like he is. Not a big fan of Bauhaus either, (they do have a couple of great songs though) They are not a patch on the latter goth rock bands of the 80's. Can't stand Cannibal Corpse. For my ears they are too heavy and no melody to them. That's all I can think of for now.

I myself like the cover and the album's decent, but it's certainly not the masterpiece others consider it to be.

I agree with you to an extent. I listen to CC every now and then, and some of their songs, particularly "Hammer Smashed Face", are awesome (I'm so mainstream lol). But they'll need a lot more listenings before I actually like them overall. There's so much other death metal that's better.
 
Regarding CC, I've actually always enjoyed the deathrash debut a lot (still have the T-shirt) and I remember listening to Skeletal Domain when it came out and thinking it was pretty good. I'm also kinda partial to Butchered at Birth, but those albums in between are mostly meh.
 
Ronnie James Dio.
I tried so hard to love him and his voice as he's considered to be one of the best rock voices (if not THE best), but I can't. I listened to all of his albums, but they only made my head and ears ache. I don't know what is wrong with me, Dio sounds too monotonous for me - it's all the same with his vocals from one song to another... I got tired of him and got back to Bruce again to heal my ears :D:bigsurprise::notworthy:


AC/DC and most of metal bands (JP, Manowar, BS, Motorhead etc) as well. They sound as complete nonsense to me...
 
I'm not a big fan of Motorhead or AC/DC discography but both bands I consider great. Judas Priest rules and Black Sabbath I won't even mention...

Manowar? Now there's some grade A manure.
 
AC/DC - Bon Scott era is okay but not exciting, BJ is not my cup of tea, fan base is annoying, everything after Hells Bells is cringe.

Led Zeppelin - everybody loves them because everybody loves them. 3 good songs are enough to become a legend, it seems.

The Doors - if Jim Morrison had not romantically died, nobody would even remember that band. There is a great episode on the podcast "Your favourite band sucks" about The Doors, and it hits the spot perfectly.

Queen - didn't even have their own style, they just randomly played everything. Would be ok if they were good at it, but they weren't. Some songs are so bad that they justify throwing eggs. Bicycle Race is a case for Amnesty International. To make things worse, a few of their songs are excellent, so I can't even hate them completely. Damn!

Korn - really, I can't stop laughing ever since I first heard them in 1994. How can anyone take this stuff serious for one minute? Even Doro is more psycho and evil than these clowns.

The Beatles - greatest band in the world, you say? I challenge you. Go listen to Obladi Oblada, Rocky Racoon and Yellow Submarine and try to say that again. Without laughing or feeling ashamed. You wont make it, unless you are dead inside.

Tool - musically I just don't care much. That could be all, but they have the most annoying, most elitist, most crybaby fanbase on he planet.

Rammstein - maybe if I didn't understand german, I would just find them boring. Unfortunately I am from Germany and understand every single word. Instant cringe.

Soundgarden - Down On the Upside and Big Dumb Sex are good songs, other than that I find them rather boring. Still better than....

...Pearl Jam, though - No good songs and awful singer.

The Police - they STING!! Yes, that pun was terrible, and I apologize. But it was still better than Every Breath You Take or (sorry, I try to remain calm here) E Doo Doo Doo E Da Da Da. Why is it even legal to write such songs?

Jimi Hendrix - yes he could play. Yes he did things no one did before. But that does not mean his songs were good.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - goddamn redneck yokels fulfilling every cliche.

Cream - Boring music and I just realized that I forgot to list Eric Clapton in my douchebag-poll. That guy is a red level asshole.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - every hit, and I am not exaggerating here, EVERY hit they EVER had was a cover version. Most of them were actually Bruce Springsteen covers. They were basically his cover band, specializing on the most dreadful stuff Bruce ever wrote, tranforming it into dull hippy music.
 
Reading your posts is going to make my head explode.

Those three songs are all great examples of why the band was so good. They were able to be silly when they wanted to. They could write for both adults and children, often within the same song.

They also wrote “Synchronicity II” and if you tell me that song is anything other than a masterpiece I’m gonna pop.

He obviously means Stairway to Heaven, When the Levee Breaks and Kashmir. Or maybe Dazed and Confused, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp and Black Dog? Perhaps The Rover, Heartbreaker and Immigrant Song? Or quite possibly Out on the Tiles, Since I've Been Loving You and Rock 'n' Roll? Or, am I completely wrong and he actually meant Going to California, Ten Years Gone and Whole Lotta Love?

Also, "everybody loves them because everybody loves them" better describes The Beatles.
