Ten Bands I will be forced to listen to in hell (Note: I did not write this, nor do I endorse it.) [View all] Tommy_Carcetti Jun 2015 OP

The list is immediately rendered irrelevant by including REM. Coventina Jun 2015 #1

Ha ha! Spot on and you rock, Coventina! Arugula Latte Jun 2015 #27

You rock too! And, agreed about Eddie Vedder. Coventina Jun 2015 #29

I like Billy Joel better than I used to. But Cat Stevens needs to be on that list. (nt) Paladin Jun 2015 #2

Me - music in hell - constant EDM LynneSin Jun 2015 #3

Every year they have Ultra Music Fest in Miami. Non-stop EDM. Tommy_Carcetti Jun 2015 #5

Same type people who would follow Grateful Dead Concerts non-stop all year... LynneSin Jun 2015 #7

i can't stand pearl jam fizzgig Jun 2015 #4

I like some Counting Crows. Tommy_Carcetti Jun 2015 #6

I thought I was the only person who hated Pearl jam....*sigh of relief* nt clarice Jun 2015 #11

The Eagles should be on that list. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2015 #8

Definitely. I'd choose nails on the chalkboard over Geddy Lee's voice. Arugula Latte Jun 2015 #28

Disagree, vehemently... ms liberty Jun 2015 #32

Rush are great instrumentalists. And they've been known to write a catchy radio hit or two. nomorenomore08 Jun 2015 #42

No argument from me CrawlingChaos Jun 2015 #79

I agree with you. Manifestor_of_Light Jun 2015 #82
