The most irritating band ever?

The only enjoyment I have got from any Kings of leon track is singing the line

"Woooah oohhhhh all our songs sound the saaaaaammmeee" through out them when they came on the radio at work.

Because as has been said, they are SO dull, its unreal.
I literally cannot tell the difference between some of their songs, but thats me, but I can see why other people like them.

Which brings me on to my point for those dissing Muse, they are the only band who I've found I can introduce to people who simply dont listen to albums or anything that isnt on the radio and they actually enjoy them, and then go on to buy their albulms, and go to their concerts.

My Ex wife, would only listen to flouncy factory pop and then I got her to listen to Muse, then she would only listen to flouncy factory pop and Muse, and it wasnt because thats all she had heard, she just didnt like anything else.

The woman I lived with after that was the same, she'd never heard of them, and her musical tastes were dictated by what she heard on radio one, I gave her My muse albums to listen to while she was out and about, she loved them, and became an instant fan.

Same with my wife now, She had never heard of them, despite having extremely wide musical tastes and being a competent guitarist and very good pianist and singer , I had them playing in the car on our first date, she now worships the ground Matt Bellamy walks on.

Friends, people I've worked with, even my 62 year old dad, every one I've introduce to them all think they are good or "great".

Sometimes people just like music because it sounds nice.

Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish! Muse are rubbish!

If your partner, or your 62 year old relatives, think that they're good, then that is actually confirmation that they are, in fact, not good. ;)

However Aliens soundtrack definitely does kick ****.

YAY people said Radiohead!

Glad you don't like them, because I love them :p No one hate Portishead either? Mogwai? Tool? Other bands I seem to love everyone hates :p

Annoying bands? Kaiser Chiefs, U2, Oasis (yea **** off :D), Reverend and the Makers, Nickleback.

Portishead are excellent. I love Radiohead.

Bands which irritate, Let The Bass Kick In Miami Girl by Chuckie and when florence and the machine go into screachy warble mode. There are some things she can do and do fairly well, but often she's scretching and its like drowning cats.
 
Ahh yes rap, almost forgot about it (mental shielding?) Its more ridiculous than irritating. The whole "gangsta" image thing is quite possibly worse than anything the 80's ever produced.
 
Muse irritate me, Radiohead irritate me, RHCP irritate me and Coldplay irritate me. Liam Gallagher irritates me.
Oh and so does Robbie Williams.

Please note - the above opinions have almost nothing to do with the music the above artists have created. I quite like a lot of their stuff, but THEY irritate me.
 
Strange how many people hate U2. 25 years ago everyone wanted to play like U2. That was the moment to hate them. When every single new band, in every country tried to sound like U2. These days what's there to hate? They are the last super group. Once they're gone there is no one else in Europe on that scale.


Back on the topic. Except RHCP, which were the less talented Faith No More copycat that didn't know when to stop or progress, I hate Rolling Stones. It's a band so bad and so talentless, they couldn't fill one Greatest Hits album with trully decent lyrics or catchy tunes for all decades of existence. Absolutely appalling musicians too, you would think after so many years of strumming and yelling at least they would learn to do it properly and in timed manner, but no.

Oh, and just about any rapper/popster that use that uberannoying melodyne on steroids/overdriven antares auto-tune thing on their voice, that Cher "believe" vocoder type of thing. Once it's interesting, twice it's meh, three times, it's like sauerkraut with pickled gherkins, but when 10 years later every Kanye West, T-Pain, Lil Wayne and Daft Punk under the sun does that over and over again ad infinitum you just feel like shoving AK47 with bayonet down their throat and ripping out that dalek speech device.
 
Daft Punk alongside Kanye, T-Pain, and Lil Wayne? Err, what? They're completely different!

Flicking through the music channels the other day, it pains me to admit that randomly finding U2 after repeated subjection to the absolute sea of **** you accurately describe in your last paragraph was comparatively spiritually healing to me.

They've always used it though

Precisely!

You see, everyone knows you can only do vocoder type of effect only once. And then it's damn annoying. Kraftwerk would do it once. Electric Light Orchestra would do it once. Alan Parsons would do it once. Oldfield, quite possibly the best example of non-annoying vocoding, would do it once. Even Cher. She used it once.

And then comes a bunch of retards and just do the dalek album after album. Some of them for second decade now.
 
i dont think im alone in saying that you honestly dont have a clue. listen to any track on discovery then try to imagine it with 'normal' vocals. it wouldnt work. it would have been terrible , awful , tragic. it would have been left in the bargain bin with certain other electronic albums of 2001 instead of being a true classic

To be honest, Daft Punk were doing it long before it became mainstream. In fact, it goes hand in hand with their robot persona.

aye ! not to mention its been nearly 10 years since they actually made any of those tracks that got popular...

they are one of the most influential electronic acts ever for good reasons. they found an individual style that worked and worked very well . 1000s of people have tried to copy it but so what. . it would be near impossible to find a current electronic artist who wasnt influenced by them in some way

thread just seems to be full of people whos open mindedness extends too listening to the top 40/radio 1. people slating whole genres because of a couple of bad artists etc
