    The Grateful Dead and their many jam band disciples. I'm a granola, pot smoking Coloradan, and even I can't stand this stuff.

    I also agree with Lou Reed. Every song he sings feels a suicide note. I'll make an exception for a few Velvet Underground tunes.

    Edited to add Adele. Yes her voice is liquid rainbows and sunshine, but I can't stand her whiney lyrics.

    This. My ex bf was a Dead Head, I tried so hard to like them so that road trips wouldn't be unbearable. I never could jump on board though.

    Agreed on Nickelback. Every damned song sounds identical.

    I'll add to the list and i know I'll get flamed... Zeppelin. I listen to all rock but just can't take Zeppelin.

    They fit into that whiny category.

    Sorry but isn't Stairway to Heaven one of the greatest songs ever written?

    I don't get why everyone is saying Nickelback. They're not even rated, much less overrated.

    ETA: my answer is Taylor Swift. Idk what it is about her, but she makes me irrationally angry.

    Yeah I don't think anybody has ever said they were a great band, unless that somebody has never heard any band at all

    you know, i think thats the one thing that could unite all of MFP- that nobody likes Nickelback.

    There's always one outlier, but they would never admit to it.

    i'll admit i love the Hero song from the first Spiderman movie, but that's more because Josey Scott from Saliva was in it and those guys are great.

    Speaking of pro wrestling and Nickelback, and I know nobody can relate, but Nickelback did the theme song for Monday Night RAW for a couple of years

    Those were dark times and I didn't watch ever

    Bruce Springsteen.

    No, and I mean no one, has milked so few Top 50 hits into icon status.

    He's had like what, 3 Top 50 hits? Maybe one Top 10?

    Another one that I could be perfectly happy with never having heard. That voice. Ugh.

    I also want to add Justin Timberlake, he's like master of an exclusive genre called bland-pop

    I'm not afraid to say it: ERRONEOUS. Justin Timberlake is an incredibly talented singer. You make not like his style, but to say he's overrated is a bit much.

    Agreed. He's a very talented guy.

    Taylor Swift. She has won a billion awards and yet I am compelled to change the station every time one of her songs comes on. :P
