I FNHate… Music

Posted by Richard on April 12th, 2010

Well not all music, but quite a lot of it. And in the spirit of which, here is a list of my 5 least favourite bands in ascending order. (Note: I am not including singular artists that I hate because the list would be near endless, Rhianna, Akon, Eminem and so on)

5. Blink 182

Its hard to say why I hate Blink 182 so much, I think it is just down to them being played an awful lot in my early teens. They weren’t very good then and they aren’t very good now. There is not a single Blink 182 song that I find entertaining, or fun in any way. They are just boring and that is a Cardinal sin for a band.

4. Razorlight

In a similar way to Blink 182, Razorlight are extremely tedious. They rank higher on my hate list however for 2 major reasons. Firstly the band falls into the categoryt lovingly known as Indie. I hate this new genre which should instead be called poof rock. They don’t wanna call themselves pop, but at the same time they aren’t hardcore enough to be proper rock. The second reason is the lead singer. His voice grates on you as badly as someone continually running the hoover in the background. I just cant bring myself to listen to the words he’s singing.

3. The Scissor Sisters

The scissor sisters are on my list for one very good reason. Their cover of Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb. The original contains what I believe to be the best guitar solo in any song made before or since. Then the Scissor Sisters came along and massacred it. They will never be forgiven in my book.

2- Green Day

If you thought Blink 182 and Razorlight were drab and dull (which clearly I do) then the king of all boring bands has to be Green Day. In all of the songs I have heard from them, nearly all of them are entirely indistinguishable from one another, and the lead singer’s voice makes me want burn my ears off. Green Day are in my opinion the most boring band still performing today.

And now in at number one…..(drumroll please)

1- The Red Hot Chilli Peppers

I have a feeling this will not be a popular choice. But the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are the most overated, overplayed band ever to walk this earth. Their songs are downright annoying, but seem to get played an awful lot. If I hear Californication one more time there’s going to be trouble.
