1. A few I was suspecting were on the list...Hootie and the Blowfish...and

the supremely annoying Blues Travelers (which nearly made it, along with Spin Doctors).

Yuck!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

2. Squirrel Nut Zippers were horrendous, IMNSHMO.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

3. Didn't mind them, as far as novelty bands go.

When the song "Hell' came out I was an undertaker, and I found it fun to work late nights with that playing on the radio. But then again, hearing Monster Mash in the embalming room or driving the hearse on Halloween was always an occasion for smug glee.

Otherwise I agree with the list, but didn't mind Smash Mouth, because they did retro 60's pop well.

[Tom Ripley]

9. "He makes that harp sound like a goddamn whistle!"- my friend Hick'ry Hawkins on John Popper's...

playing with Blues Traveler.
My teenaged nephew started getting into them; I bought him a Little Walter collection so that he could hear how the instrument should be played.

[d_r]

4. yeah those are annoying

but they forgot the #1

[OriginalGeek]

5. Can't say I'd argue with any of those

none of them on my playlist.

[Tom Ripley]

6. The only surprises were that Live and Barenaked Ladies were not on the list

Shit like Dishwalla, Semisonic, Harvey Danger, Sister Hazel, and Deep Blue Something weren't around long enough to be memorably hated.

[LeftOfSelf-Centered]

17. Live... *shudder*

I had forgotten about them, thankfully. Now I blame you for reminding me! I had a roommate who would play them a lot, so I was more familiar with them than I ever wanted to be...

Although I'd argue that, like the other bands you listed, they weren't relevant long enough to become really hated.

[tabbycat31]

21. Is it bad that I started hating Barenaked Ladies because of an ex boyfriend

I was neutral about them until dating him then he went off about why he hated them.

After that (we had since broken up) they released THE most annoying song in the world (If I had a million dollars) and another song that's lyrics sounded like a 2nd grader wrote them.

I guess that's the one thing he was right about.

[Tom Ripley]

34. There are no bad reasons for hating Barenaked Ladies

[sendero]

36. One They Might Be Giants...

.. was enough

[OmahaBlueDog]

7. This is NOT aimed at the post/poster, but the writer of the article

It's easy to be a critic...isn't it? Whenever I read a piece like this, I fondly recall the words of philosopher Warren Sapp...

"Put On a Jersey!"

Yes, Prachi Gupta , I'm talking to you. It's much easier to write clickbait articles ragging on bands that aren't obscure or egdy enough for you than to actually make music. "Twenty years later and chances are that you can still hear Rucker rattling around there in your brain" you intone. Yes! Yes, you still hear Rucker because he has a highly sucessful country music career -- not that you'd condescend to listen to anything aside from Pandora streams and obscure college radio stations.

[NaturalHigh]

10. Eh...I can find one or two songs I like by most of those.

Hootie and the Blowfish is a glaring exception. Boy do I hate Hootie. Oh, and Insane Clown Posse too.

[Archae]

11. No mention of the Steve Miller Band?

Any way a band could suck, they suck!

[Boom Sound 416]

14. Who could hate the joker

On a big jet airliner chasing after Bobby Sue...

[reformist2]

16. If they're doing an '80s version. Then they could include Journey, Toto and Styx...

[OmahaBlueDog]

23. OK. I had to tell the Eagles hater this. Now I have to break the news to you.

The article is bands of the last 30 years.......

SMBs last hit was "Abracadabra" in 1982. My friend. 1982 was 32 years ago.

"Fly Like an Eagle" turns 38 this year

"Book of Dreams" turns 37

I grew up listening to this music. Soon, I'll be looking into the assisted living facility they are building down the street from me.

[Archae]

24. Well, in the past 30 years, MTV dominated music.

95% bland shit.

For every 1 Peter Gabriel, there were 99 Whams.

[Tom Ripley]

12. I'm no fan, but I applaud Insane Clown Posse's ability to get so many people wound up...

both their fans and detractors.

I once worked with someone who ONLY wanted to hear the classic rock shit he had heard in high school.
I found that playing Laibach or ICP would drive him to near-homicidal levels of agitation. Good times.

[azurnoir]

13. they forgot one - Buckcherry

okay they're pretty forgettable a Walmart version of Nickleback and that's saying something both awful bands

[DrDan]

15. saw Hootie and the Blowfish at the New Orleans Jazz Festival few years back

This was on a Sunday. It rained on Friday and Saturday so it was PACKED on Sunday.

Hootie was one of the few performances where one could get within hearing distance. All of the other artists' performances were packed.

Being within hearing distance was not necessarily a good thing . . .

[LeftOfSelf-Centered]

18. Can't really argue with anyone on the list.

Pretty solid list.

[Ahpook]

19. I've noticed Nirvana gets quite a bit of punishment

I never understood that

Cobain was a tortured soul which made an outlet for poetry. Their music was honest until the corporates got wind of the band.

He reminds me quite a bit of Nick Drake

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. Why are The Eagles not on that list?

[OmahaBlueDog]

22. Because - wait for it -- most of their music is older than 30 years old.

Hotel California is pushing 40.

I'm really sorry to have had to tell you that. You may want to consider purchasing a life alert and looking at a no-denial insurance policy to cover your final expenses now. I know I am.

[Art_from_Ark]

25. Well wait for this-- the Eagles have also been recording within the past 30 years

Some of their more recent singles include:

1994 "Get Over It"
"Love Will Keep Us Alive"
"The Girl from Yesterday"
1995 "Learn to Be Still"
2003 "Hole in the World"
2005 "No More Cloudy Days"
2007 "How Long"
2008 "Busy Being Fabulous"
"What Do I Do with My Heart"
2009 "I Don't Want to Hear Any More"

So yes, they DO qualify.

[OmahaBlueDog]

29. OK, they've recorded. But has anything they recorded since "The Long Run" charted?

I don't think they've recorded anything relevant.

I think you have to have recorded something omeone has actually heard to qualify.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. You're right. I guess I've hated The Eagles for so long

that I've lost track of how long they've sucked.

[OmahaBlueDog]

30. Consider this for a moment

For those of us who grew up listening to music in...say 1978.

If you turn on a so-called FM "Adult Contemorary" station today, you will more than likely hear music by artists such as The Eagles, Billy Joel, and Elton John. It's 2014, and that music was made mostly between 1975-1978 which is between 36-39 years old.

So in 1978, this would be like listening to FM stations that played Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby, & Ella Fitzgerald.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

27. I kinda liked Smash Mouth

[Orrex]

28. I don't think it's fair to hate Lana del Rey just yet

She's a relative neophyte, compared to Limp Bizkit & Nickelback, who've been polluting the airwaves for more than a decade. Certainly she can't be nearly as bad as Shrek Mouth.

Give her time to redeem herself or to earn our contempt.

[Vashta Nerada]

31. I'm going to have to agree with most of that list.

I like many of the bands on her "Dishonorable mentions" list.

I remember most of those groups in the '90s when I went to jr. high and high school. Sigh. I'm getting old.

[progressoid]

32. I listen to DMB occasionally...

Well, actually, I listen to Carter Beauford play. DMB just happens to be there too.

[Still Blue in PDX]

33. This merely confirms the suspicion that I haven't listened to music in the last 30 years.

...unless one counts stuff like "Follow me up to Carlow" and the like at my local.

[Submariner]

35. Zager and Evans "In the Year 2525"

Even though this POS song goes back to 1968 (46 yrs), I still hated it 30 years ago, and continue to hate it. All lists should include In the Year 2525. Zager and Evans are lucky they didn't get drafted and sent to the Cambodia or Laos front lines for conceiving such a song.

In the year 2525 is to music what Sarah Palin is to astrophysics imho.
