The Who. As musicians they are very good. Entwistle was such a good bass player. Moon is over rated although was good to watch when he played live and Townsend is just an arrogant bighead nonce who thinks the sun shines out of his arse. Have never known such a big band to have ( bar a few ) such mediocre songs. Amen brother! Loathe Zed Leppelin, they go on and on and on and on and on and on......... Blasphemy!

Saxon. I'd forgotten those clowns. Whitesnake were abysmal as well. Kiss. I like some of the first Rainbow. Rush. For their Ayn Randishness. They won as well. Feckers. Rainbow Rising is a top album .......Whitesnake before they went big hair were a top band also ...." Trouble " was excellent Pre-'87 Whitesnake is ace. Proper British blues-rock - lyrics with tongue firmly in cheek. 1987 was a great "comeback" album - but the poodle-permed youngsters, cars and skimpy-dressed girlfriend videos became the norm, not the exception. Oh and my nominations: - Any "R&B" (what used to be called "Soul" until some point in the 90's). Sugary, licentious bollox for blokes who think it will help them with "the ladeeez". Always reminds me of Lenny Henry's Theophilus P. Widebeest character.

Wow. That's a bold assertion. Like yer style. The way I, and a lot of other folk 'receive' music has changed significantly with the Interweb etc. I used to listen to the radio, factory radios, or watch Top of the Pops etc, and have to wade through a lot of shite to hear/see the bands I liked. Similarly in pubs with jukeboxes and in nightclubs there'd be stuff that I disliked. And it was unavoidable. Blasted by a stream of pop pap. I've got a lot more choice/power in what I listen to these days. There's a massive back catalogue of great stuff and easy ways to get at it. I make my own choices of what to listen to and can bypass the tat easily enough. Even adverts and dramas etc have interesting music these days. I love a tour down the sidebar links suggested in Youtube, a musical mystery tour. As a kid getting into music Youtube would have turned me hermit no doubt. I don't get exposed to music that grates anywhere near like I used to. I have no idea what's in the charts. Or even what the charts reflect. I don't really hate 'stuff' any more, just do me best to avoid ever listening to it. All the early Beatles 'Twist & Shout'y stuff falls under that category.

Some flippin' iconoclasts on here. Beatles, the Who, Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen. WTF.
Hate. Really? I take it you've never heard of Grand Funk Railroad, Steppenwolf, Gnidrolog, Third World War, Jobriath ... and I'm not even out of the feckin' seventies.

Were Grand Funk Railroad really so bad? I'll have to google and refresh. Musical tribalism was far more complex than just a straight choice between Beatles and Dave Clark in my adolescence. A mate of mine got a minor kicking for having a Judas Priest album amongst his Stranglers stuff. First by punks and then fribbos. {I should never have grassed him up.} On a side note have you seen any 'All Shook Up'? Mark Radcliffe doing a kind of new Old Grey Whistle Test. I've seen a couple on Iplayer, it's encouraging there still seems to be some revolting musical youth about.

You'd think people would have to wade through all the Cowell/Stock Aitken Waterman/ChinniChap fodder; and an awful, awful lot more before they finally decided they didn't like some of the bands on this thread.

Did a better job of apeing than Oasis. 'Think I'm going out of my head' by ELO is brill. I wrongly attributed 'War of the Worlds' to Jeff Lynne for several years. Conna abide Travelling Wilburys or The Band, or The Flying Burrito Brothers or Sky.
