Bands within your respective genres you just can't get into.

[tijuanatim]

Ive tried very hard to enjoy The Killers and The White Stripes, but I just cant get into them.

I also hate Tool. In fact I like the name of that band because it requires people who enjoy that music to wear clothes that label them for what they are...

 

[Dommyboy]

I enjoy most types of music but I cannot stand death metal, some female pop and screamo music.

 

[odatnarat]

i heard that metal has different sub genres, grind core hardcore etc.. but i think they just all sound the same.. i cant distinguish or differentiate each.. hahaha just loud noises growling and shouting from the vocalist and gut wrenching guitar solos.. haha

 

[Labyrinth]

I honestly despise Cradle of Filth, and Slipknot for that matter. Not a fan of Cannibal Corpse.

 

[TheBlackKnight]

Iced Earth aaand

Man-o-War: go and watch the Blow your speakers video and you might understand me.

 

[Tattaglia]

Dangit, I've been trying to get into Ashley Tisdale, but there's no way she's anything like a Vanessa Hudgens! That said I do enjoy a tincy bit of Jonas Brothers in their early days for some rockin' out, yet I'll never listen to the conformist "music" they do now.

 

[SimuLord]

I have never in my life been able to get into Led Zeppelin. I love classic rock, but LedZep always seems to go for musical complexity for its own sake to the point where even their straightforward rock 'n' roll just doesn't work for me.

Never try prog/post metal. Or prog/post rock.

Although I love black metal in general and Dissection in particular, Watain plain sucks. Their songs lack any coherent structure jumping from awesome riffs to horrible ones (quality divided equally, and there's never a middle ground) making it seem more like they are playing a meddle of different bands rather than actual songs. I know Watain is often compared to the far superior Dissection, and I can see the resemblence in certain areas, but I still can't get into them. To top it off, I think their singer sounds silly, like a rebellious teenager who joins a satanic band to punish his ma.

 

[asinann]

Any Metallica made after the 80's and almost anything newer than 1997 I just can't get in to.

 

[Arntor]

Slayer. It's probably because by that time, I've been listening to far too many thrash and death metal bands to fully appreciate it.

Also, I can't stand Children of Bodom. I like the guitars, I like the keyboards, but I just could not stand Avril Laiho's voice. I didn't like his growls and that coupled with C.O.B.'s lyrics just ruined the it for me.

Then, there was Darkthrone...
More specifically their album, Transilvanian Hunger.

My fellow Überkvlt black metal enthusiasts can go lick donkey balls if they tell me this is one of the best black metal albums ever made. No.
And this is not hype backlash. I listened to it when I was 13, just barely getting into Black Metal. I saw it in a store with no prior knowledge and I thought "What a kewl album cover!" and I bought it. I listened, I cringed, and I felt guilty for making my parents pay for that piece of rubbish. Then my friends started talking to me about the album. It was praised all around, touted as "pure raw blakkh metuls" and I felt kind of sad because I might have missed out on something. I finally listened to it again two years later where I had attained a competent level of taste for the genre. Most notable was my affinity for the band Burzum, but even then, what I heard was still a piece of sonic shit. Even if I listen to it today, the only word that comes out of my mouth is a big fat no. Whatever "cold and raw" minimalistic ingenuity you saw in that album was naught but poor sound production and riffs without melody repeated ad nauseam for 39 minutes for me.

 

[mintsauce]

I'm a huge fan electronic music, but I cannot stand The Chemical Brothers. I find it very frustrating that they are constantly looked up to as one of the best examples of the genre, because I honestly think they are one of the most over-rated and unrepresentative bands of all time.

It's commercialized pop rubbish. Chemical Beats and Hey Boy Hey Girl were decent, but everything else is terrible - Let Forever Be and Push The Button are an embarrassment. Give me Orbital, Autechre or Squarepusher any day.

 

[varulfic]

Then, there was Darkthrone...
More specifically their album, Transilvanian Hunger.

I have to wholeheartedly agree. With the exception of Skald av Satans Sol, which is probably my favorite Darkthrone song, the album bores me. The minimalism that is supposed to be hypnotic or something just strikes me as redundant, no way two mediocre riffs can keep me interested for a six minutes song. And the production is the bad kind of raw, the kind that doesn't sound cold and evil, just weak.

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

I just can't understand some of BFMV's music. I guess I'm not emo XD

 

[zen5887]

Hmmm Cradle of Filth are a band I not only dont like but hate with a firey passion I normally reserve for plastic pop. In fact I would rather pay to watch the Jonas Brothers covering "Dark side of the moon" than see Cradle for free

Cradle Of Filth are pretty much a plastic pop band, they're metal for 13 year old girls with loads of acne who get bullied all the time.

Cradle are the Slipknot of the black metal world. Kids hear them and go "Aww yeah this is fucking brutal!" then listening to it non stop. Now after this one of two things can happen

With a bit of luck they 'grow out' of them and more on to better bands then every now and then going back and listening to an album or two and eventually coming to terms with the fact that the band that was once 'fucking brutal' is just a stepping stone used to get to better bands.

OR

They stick with them and become one of those weird 29 year olds who wear the band shirts and get pissed off at all the kids in the mosh pit at their gigs. Will most likely get arrested for kicking a 14 year old in the face

[Arachon]

Cheap Sex - Hardcore-/Street Punk... Their singer sounds terrible O,o

 

[superbleeder12]

I like Doom stuff like early Katatonia, Daylight Dies, November's Doom, etc. But I can't stand Candlemass.

 

[InvisibleMilk]

I like alot of the bands you pointed out Dave42
Like Dream Theater, they're one of my favorites.
Underoath, and Metallica, of course.
Yes, I'm a bit of a screamo fan.
Well, alot of a screamo fan.
anyone heard of Demon Hunter? They're Christian Metal, just sounds like Power metal, but it's about jesus and sinners.
The Devil Wears Prada does some grindcore.
And Opeth is a great death metal band.
but I can't stand Black Metal.
ugh.
Sounds like the lead singer's throwing up.
or like, having dental work done.
