It's easy to make fun of Creed, but their first album really was good.

The same could be said of so many bands listed in this "hate" thread. Early Dave, Matchbox 20's first album, etc... I don't know exactly what happens to musicians once they make it big. Perhaps the stress and grind of touring, the pressure to constantly write and release new material, the lack of drive that must certainly follow money and success, distractions that accompany said money and fame?

Often, I feel like so many new bands that I like have spent their lives getting those first one or two incredible albums together, but then they just don't have enough time or creativity to perpetuate.

Personally, I have written about an album's worth of what I believe to be really good songs. It's taken me nearly 15 years to get there. I can't imagine someone telling me that I need to hit the road, do TV, still try to live my life and have a family, and yet write another 12 songs that will live up to what I just released. It would be tough.

Labels have the influence after an artist makes a splash.

Yep, and I actually think Nickelback's early stuff was not bad at all. I think Kroeger actually has a great rock voice but it's ruined on the crappy songs he sings.

Disagree 100%. His most recent work with Ryan Lewis is phenomenal. "The Heist" is what rap can be, at it's finest: poetic lyrics, smooth beats, and a variety that made me want for another album. Listen to "Neon Cathedral" and rethink.

As a wedding DJ, I've got to mention the Cha Cha Slide. I bet I've played it at over 200 weddings and I've participated zero times.

Miley Cyrus and her rube daddy/pimp are the dang 'ol worst thing to happen to music in pretty much "ever".

For Knox locals with kids of a certain age, you probably hate almost everything played on Star 102.1 as much as I do. Even my kid knows to flip the damn dial when she hears the horrible emanations erupt from Miley though.

I used to be very stubborn and opinionated about music, but now I am more open. The only thing I really despise is the Justin Bieber type stuff, one direction et. Not even sure what genre that is, garbage?

Dave Matthews sucks....try 2 days of him at Bonnaroo...suicide watch.

Breaking Benjamin doesn't suck....totally, although a lot of their songs sound the same.

Rush....suck? WTF man?

Today's pop uh, I mean country is so commercialized it must be produced by Nickelback.

I'm going with Luke Bryan for #1.

The biggest duo in "country" right now, Florida-Georgia Line, actually is produced by the same guy who produces for Nickelback. And their music is every bit as awful.

That's funny. And sad. And scary. And gut wrenching. I've compared Fla-Ga Line to Nickelback countless times.

Foo Fighters, Florida/Georgia Line, Eric Church, current Green Day, Dave Matthews, and pretty much everything that makes up the mainstream pop charts.

Bruce Springsteen. Not his band but the man. His voice gives me audiogenic epilepsy. So anytime I hear the first note of one of his songs I find myself scrambling to change the channel to anything else. I know I'm in the minority and I just can't fathom the amount of over whelming love that guy gets.

The who. They have a few decent tunes. But that who are you song makes me want to vomit.

Elvis Costello.
Grateful dead.
Boston.
Styx.

I'm the same way about Springsteen. Never been a fan of his.
