    After some soul searching through my itunes, I've chosen Dave Matthews Band. They have one song called "Shake Me Like a Monkey" that I quite enjoy, but the rest is drivel.

    And I went to one of their concerts stoned as a mutha****a. If seeing a jam band live and consuming a weed lollipop beforehand can't make you like it, NOTHING WILL.

    U2 - "Stuck in a Moment (You Can't Get Out Of)" - although there are a couple others that I do like quite a bit ("All I Want Is You", "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"), but considering their full catalog, they make up maybe .05% of their total output.
    Death Cab for Cutie - I just can't seem to get into them, but "I Will Follow You into the Dark" is unmatched.
    Jessie J - "Do It Like a Dude" is hilarious. I bought the whole album, but meh at the rest.

    I seem to find myself more often in a situation where I love a band/musician, and (as Bob would say) I celebrate their entire catalog, but there are songs in their repertoire that annoy the crap out of me. Many of them are bands/musicians that I'm somewhat embarrassed to publicly admit that I love, for fear of persecution.

    Prime examples:
    George Michael ("Last Christmas", although technically that was with Wham!)
    Hootie & the Blowfish (any of their songs that made it big on the radio)
    Counting Crows (any of the upbeat songs that actually get played in public places)
    Dave Matthews Band (the entirety of Everyday, and the album with the fire dancer on the cover, I think it was Stand Up - oh, who am I kidding, anything produced after 1998 but before Busted Stuff that wasn't scrapped at the last moment and then leaked onto the interwebs)

    I can't STAND Fall Out Boy, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't love that song Dance Dance...its in my workout playlist.

    I hate to love them. There's just something about his voice that compels me. I watched a show online where he went to Daryl Hall's house and they jammed on Fall Out Boy and Hall & Oates songs, and it was actually pretty badass.

    I HATE U2....so much. But I have to admit that "One" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

    Taylor Swift "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"

    :explode:

    HATE THIS SONG. (And yes, I'm yelling) However, I may or may not know all of the words and I catch myself singing along everytime I hear it. *kicks rocks*

    Lol. I feel the same way! I really don't care for her or her music very much but that dang song is so catchy!

    Can't freaking stand Rascall Flatts, esp. the lead singer. I want to punch him bt his beady eyes.

    However, I'm willing to concede that my love of bluegrass music and honoring my Southern girl roots makes me not turn the radio when I hear "Banjo".

    I, like a few on here cannot stand Coldplay.

    I can't think of any redeeming song they have done. They are all bland, unimaginative pap.
