Everclear
Creed
Candlebox

design219 · Mar 15, 2008, 08:39 PM

Lynard Skynard.

An oldie, but God I still sometimes hear "Sweet Home Alabama" and I want to puke.

Doofy · Mar 15, 2008, 08:42 PM

All of them.
Radio should be banned and the mindless masses forced to create their own entertainment with a crate of Bud and two hard-boiled eggs.

starman · Mar 15, 2008, 08:45 PM

Any band that was formed on or after the day Nirvana first signed a contract.

64stang06 · Mar 15, 2008, 08:53 PM

Chingy
Soulja Boy

...and I agree, anything on or after Nirvana signed.

L'enfanTerrible · Mar 15, 2008, 09:20 PM

Nickelback.

Rumor · Mar 15, 2008, 09:28 PM

Radio?

I quite like the Foo Fighters. Hated Nirvana though. Cobain was a whiny little prick.

I nominate Metallica - noodly pussies.

Hrmmm. I dunno, I quite like Opeth.

Seconded.

And Mogwai were founded in 1995, but they ****ing rock (oh, not played on the radio, though, so I supposed they don't count).

ctt1wbw · Mar 16, 2008, 08:03 AM

Prince
Prince
Prince

analogika · Mar 16, 2008, 09:52 AM

Love the Prince - he's not a band, though.

ctt1wbw · Mar 16, 2008, 11:50 AM

Still sucky, though.

analogika · Mar 16, 2008, 11:58 AM

We all got problems, I suppose.

Jawbone54 · Mar 16, 2008, 02:12 PM

I second Everclear. How they ever broke through into mainstream I have no idea (but that goes for about 99% of musical acts out there right now)

Avril Lavigne
Justin Timberlake
Dashboard Confessional

sek929 · Mar 16, 2008, 02:19 PM

Breaking Benjamin
7 Days Grace
Nickelback
Papa Roach
3 Doors Down
Fall Out Boy
any popular rap

There's so much more...

zro · Mar 16, 2008, 02:22 PM

The Eagles
Steely Dan
Genesis

Steve Bosell · Mar 16, 2008, 05:58 PM

Sum 41
U2
Finger 11
Stained
Seather

Wha? Breaking Benjamin. They are awesome; how can you say that?

Anyways, I'd say Nickelback and Fallout Boy

sek929 · Mar 16, 2008, 06:43 PM

I disagree, I absolutely hate that style of rock.

Sorry, music IS very subjective.

ShortcutToMoncton · Mar 16, 2008, 06:56 PM

Wow, someone said Justin Timberlake?!? JT's teh bomb!

The only problem I have with this thread is that the confines are unclear. Shouldn't the band be heard on radio at all? After all, almost every band has one "good song." I'm going to take it to mean that no new songs should be heard by them.

Foo Fighters (oh yeah I said it)
Sum41
Linkin Park
Nickelback
Jon Bon Jovi

Any American College Rock/Emo band. Blech.

Beatles
Beach Boys

brassplayersrock² · Mar 16, 2008, 10:29 PM

If you listen to radio, you get what you deserve.

I second the ban!

Spliff · Mar 16, 2008, 10:48 PM

- Led Zeppelin
- Pink Floyd
- Jimi Hendrix

Everytime I turn on the radio (on various stations), these three bands/musicians seem to be playing.

Have you tried changing between the two classic rock stations?

ghporter · Mar 17, 2008, 08:35 AM

I get the feeling that most of this disaffection isn't with the bands themselves, but the stupid corporate radio station programmers who think that if two plays per hour is good, then six is better!

Keep in mind that radio is run by a small number of "media corporations," such as Clear Channel Communications. These corporations typically dictate playlists, rotations, even on-air patter. It's pathetic, and is one of the reasons that a relatively new genre of stations, such as "Jack-FM", "Bob Radio" and others like them have become popular: they actually play music and the computer program that randomly selects the next song is much better at it than those suits in the glass offices are.

Jawbone54 · Mar 17, 2008, 12:07 PM

I haven't actually listened to an FM radio station more than 15 minutes in the last two years.

olePigeon · Mar 17, 2008, 12:19 PM

I thought radio went the way of Demolition Man. Every time I turn it on it's just commercials.

Andrew Stephens · Mar 17, 2008, 04:01 PM

Phil f***ing Collins

brassplayersrock² · Mar 17, 2008, 04:21 PM

there are radio stations that allow intercourse to be aired?

smacintush · Mar 17, 2008, 08:08 PM

Nicklehack
Butt Cherry
Moron 5

Truer words have never been spoken.

Miley Cyrus
Rihanna
Beatles.. ditto that.

Jawbone54 · Mar 18, 2008, 06:38 PM

Seriously...is there that much Beatle-hate here?

analogika · Mar 18, 2008, 07:00 PM

They're all under sixteen.

brassplayersrock² · Mar 18, 2008, 07:31 PM

some of the youngins just don't understand

analogika · Mar 18, 2008, 07:46 PM

brassplayersrock² · Mar 18, 2008, 09:14 PM

are you 64 yet analogika?

ghporter · Mar 18, 2008, 09:48 PM

Since just about every "innovative" band in the last 40 or so years has stolen from the Beatles in one way or another, it's hard to understand why so many younger people don't like them. They've been hearing Beatles' stuff in rehashed, over amplified, screamed at the top of the lungs, and otherwise distorted forms their whole lives...
