    Bryan Adams and Nickelback. I can turn off any of their songs in 3 notes!!

    Oh, and on behalf of Canada, I apologize for these two violators of everyones ears. These two acts bring truth to the saying that silence is golden.

    Funny, I saw the name of the thread and couldn't wait to jump in and post about Nickelback. Turns out I'm not the only one that cant stand them. Pop-rock posers...

    Make me the second. Led Zeppelin are awful and ripped their music off from others. Can't stand them one bit.

    Funny how taste change. I grew up on "album rock". Back when the DJ's were cool and played some of the best modern music around. I still like album rock because I like to hear a whole piece of music as opposed to the cut version.

    Now for you who don't like any country in any way shape or form. Some of today's country music competes with the best recorded music of any time, you have to weed through it. Get off your high horse and start watching Studio 330 on CMT. You find a few mediocre tunes on the show but you'll also see some of the best musicians on the planet. I have been watching it for awhile and have watched musicians play world class music that others wish they could play. They are live performances recorded very well and really exciting because a live performance sounds good.

    Don't care for Rap and people screaming at me.

    I give props to Neil Peart. More gongs, little music boxes, silly hats. Stuff like that.

    LZ? First album, first side, first song. I've been waiting some time to hear them do something as good as that ditty again. They never did.

    Well, since you put it that way ..... Mr. Grand shall be allowed to live. That was a close call, though. :eek:


    Had to actually look up the name of the band that makes me cringe. This band (Europe) put out a song that, no matter what else they did, put them on my "Hate For Eternity" list: "The Final Countdown". That song .... it ..... geeez ...... :evil:
