Greatest rock band you don't like or care for (2 Viewers)

[SystemShock]

So, some of the posts in the Beatles thread got me thinking... personally I like 3 Beatles songs: literally 3 songs, the rest I can live without.

So, the question is: of all the so-called greatest bands of all time, which band you don't care for or don't like? Let's keep it within rock.

I'll start with:

Led Zepellin.
Don't care about them at all, don't think Stairway to Heaven is that great, and Jimmy Page is way over-rated as a guitar player; seen/heard much better.

 

[St. Widge]

The Beatles
Rush
The Who
Pink Floyd
The Eagles
Radiohead
The Grateful Dead
Queen
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
The Beach Boys

I recognize that all of these bands are very influential and that many had great musicians in them, but I don't really like songs from any of them except for a few songs here and there. Some, I don't like anything.

 

[VaeVictus]

The Beatles
The Eagles
Yes
Cheap Trick

Queen and the Beach Boys have EARNED your worthless respect you mongrel. You're becoming more like Antipop every day. And not the charming aspect of his personality, all the other smelly parts of it.

Cheap Trick
KISS
Blue Oyster Cult (other than The Reaper)
The Cure

Actually.. a lot of New Wave 80's bands aren't my thing, outside of a few songs.

How anyone doesn't like The Beatles, Floyd or Zepplin is beyond me

U2 is at the top of my list. I can barely make it through any of their songs.

 

[Saint Jack]

I always thought The Beatles were overrated.

Probably some prescription drugs their Mom took when she was pregnant

I think that most of the well known, hall of fame acts are that way for a reason. If you spend some time in their catalog, you realize why - but taste does come into it, I suppose. But don't confuse your own taste with lack of objective quality.

I know Metallica is a hall of fame act, and I know a lot of their material. It mostly doesn't do much for me and I never really actively listened to it. But I recognize what they have achieved and I'm not going to talk **** about them.

Other bands have eras that I like and don't care for. People mention U2, I love a handful of their albums. I saw Joshua Tree tour when I was 14 and listened to Achtung Baby constantly for about six months. But I don't ever need to hear anything U2 did after that album. Still, great band.

Led Zepplin, the most overrated band of all time.
