Legendary artists/bands who have never appealed to you.

[Towelie]

Bruce Springsteen - never heard anything which remotely captured my interest. Probably doesn't help that my first impression of him was his terrible vocals on We Are The World where he sounds like he's squeezing out a shit.

Elvis - I kind of get why people like him, and there's a handful of songs I enjoy, but that's it for me.

Bruce Springsteen-talk about overrated

Michael Jackson- avg. Singer and pretty much made himself a career from music videos.

The Beatles- 3 avg. singer/song writers. Never will understand the fascination with these guys.

Metallica- I only the black album, cause it's when they decided to write good music.

Many more ...I'll post later.

[jekylhyde]

Pantera (Their songs sound like crap to me)
Metallica (I like some of their stuff, but I never got why almost everybody loves them so much)
The Beatles (I understand their importance to pop music, but can't really say I enjoy their music)
Pink Floyd
U2 (Ugh, Bono...)
DIO (never cared about songs about dragons, wizards and whatnot)
Rolling Stones (I like Keith Richards' solo stuff)
Motörhead
Van Halen


There's many more, but those came to mind.

Ooooh, attacking other artists, goody gumdrops!

Pink Floyd - load of fuckin' overblown overrated fuckin'... just total shite

Fleetwood Mac - AHHHHHH!!! HIPPIES!!! THOUSANDS OF EM, KILL KILL KILL!!!

Bruce Springsteen - Corny boring middle of the road fuckin' music for American Mums driving cars they can't handle.

U2 - Just generally poor quality, not to mention a patronising cock-bag arch-self promoter of a lead singer, just a massive massive massive wanker. And The Edge ain't far behind either.

Anything with fuckin' greasy metallers in it banging on about gasoline and the ace of spades and motor cycles and fuckin'....all this pre-historic fuckin' greek bollocks like, Mesothesopostaline, the fuckin' winged God of fuckin' Thor or something. Dirty smelly fuckin' unwashed unfashionable sad deluded no friends having BO stinking fuckin' Satan worshipping, The Ladybird Book of Witches reading tossers...all called Nigel And Alan

Kanye West - Just look at his face, says it all.

Rick Ross - I will die the death of a thousand bastards before i listen to a fuckin' copper rapping.

Lil Wayne - Just a little poof really isn't he?

(The title said legendary so technically you could leave the last three out altogether)

Phil Collins - is a massive bender

[hausofaxl]

The Beatles (A few songs I do like but still think they're overrated)

U2 (I only like 'One')

Elvis

[MB.]

Lots of the same artists as mentioned above:

- Pink Floyd

- Fleetwood Mac

- U2

- Eagles

- Dire Straits

- R.E.M

- Bruce Springsteen (a few songs I do like however)

- Motley Crue

Michael Jackson is an average singer? Seriously? Say what you like about his music and his lifestyle, but the man had an incredible voice.

Yeah, one of the more fuckin' ridiculous things I've heard stated, average singer, really?!?! The boy could sing better at 10 years old than most of his peers and his peers were the greatest soul and rhythm and blues singers ever born.

you're absolutely right...he was a great singer at 10 years old....but not when he was an adult

[Facekicker]

Lately...Adele (not a legend mind but insanely successful in her own right)

I don't know how anyone could enjoy her music. It goes through my head like a dentists drill. And it all sounds the fuckin same.

I'm not as fond of where he went in his later career as a singer as I am of what he was doing as a kid but i don't think I could justifiably say that, as singing, it didn't stand up.

[Bono]

Black Sabbath

Led Zeppelin

Queen

Nirvana

Michael Jackson

Lots of others but those are the biggest ones.

[ZoSoRose]

The Boss. Im sure he will click one day and i do want to see him though

[Towelie]

I forgot to mention U2, Led Zeppelin and Green Day (although I'm not sure if they'd count as legendary).

[DieselDaisy]

Lead Zeppelin.

[Gibbo]

Radio head

Michael Jackson

Van halen

[The Real McCoy]

Pink Floyd

Nirvana

Radiohead (although I don't consider them legendary, just popular.)

The Beatles (I LIKE them, but consider them to be extremely overrated.)

Edited September 24, 2014 by The Real McCoy

[Iron MikeyJ]

U2 (completly overrated band imo)

Iron Maiden (couple of songs I like, but everything sounds the same)

Avenged Sevenfold (lets get Axl and Slash imitators, throw in some Metallica, and the youth will love it. Nothing original about this band)

Pretty much all punk rock except for The Sex Pistols and The Ramones

Bad Religion (boring)

The Misfits (blah)

Black Flag (double blah)

That's it for now. I'm into pretty much everything, so even though I don't LOVE Bruce Springsteen and other bands mentioned in this thread, I still respect them. But the ones I mentioned here literally do NOTHING for me. They could be erased from history for all I care.

Oh ya, plus every band mentioned in the "Hipster Sanctuary Thread" could easily cease to exist IMO also.

lol

The Black Album was shittacular. Kill 'Em All is a masterpiece, Ride The Lightning is great, and Mast Of Puppets and ...And Justice For All are good. Metallica are a thrash band - The Black Album ain't thrash. It's commercial, radio-friendly shit.

[Black Sabbath]

Nirvana is awful.

[Strange Broue]

Beatles


I despise them

[BreakDown2014]

Beatles, I still have hope that someday I'll get into them

And U2, and I've tried.... really hard, but nope, just won't work

[Nulla Lex Ink.]

Nirvana - I won't lie, I like a couple of their tunes, but overall I'm not a big fan of their catalog. I might like them better if the fan base wasn't a bunch of whiny people going on about how Kurt Go Bang was such a revolutionary songwriter. That was basically the opinion of everybody in my high school. My art teacher even said he was the voice of a generation, once. Also, they were vehement fanboys/girls, so you couldn't say a damn thing bad about the band, unless you wanted to hear bands you listened to and a lot you didn't get bashed for weeks on end. I think some day I may like the band, but as long as I have the mental association of a bunch of whiny, blind cry babies from my high school, I won't be able to enjoy it.

The Beatles - Again, I admit I like some of their songs. But you know something? I enjoy it when other people play them more. The Beatles were an okay songwriting group, but those guys did way better things apart than they ever could have together. Again, maybe some day I can enjoy them when the mental association with my stupid school is gone, but these guys have rabid fanboys everywhere, apparently.

Avenged Sevenfold - As was said before, nothing but a dishonored bastard child of GN'R and Metallica.

Aerosmith - I like some of their songs, but they have a lot of filler in their back catalog. Maybe I'd understand the appeal better if I had grown up with their songs, but eh, as a whole they just aren't for me as I am now.

Hole - Just plain awful, it barely qualifies as music to me... Wait, you said "legendary," not "our singer was married to someone famous once." My mistake.

Kiss - Again, some songs are liked, but I don't understand how they got to be so big. You'd think weird antics could only get you so far, but I suppose not. Eric Carr is an under appreciated drummer though.

Motley Crue - Some songs are good, but the damndest thing is, I like their self titled album better than everything else. I guess I just don't like Vince Niel's vocals that well.

The Cure - There's a lot I could prolly say about Robert "Tim Burton's wet dream" Smith, but he is an okay musician at the end of the day. First record (I think) was okay, but everything else they've done has been pretty boring. Not even necessarily bad, just... Boring.

David Bowie - I just don't like some of the eras of his career. Others I like, but there are quite a few I'm not a fan of.

Joe Satriani - He's a great guitar player, but I really don't get this whole "he's the best since Hendrix!" business. Maybe I'm just not hearing the right stuff, I dunno. I'm not really willing to keep looking though, his styles don't do a whole lot for me.

I think that's all for now. Might be more I could say later on, but I have a feeling I'll be shot by rabid fanatics tonight, so... Yeah. If I'm not dead I'll be back, haha.
