Maybe we should re-jigger this to say SPECIFIC ALBUMS that everone loves....this would eschew the whole "yeah, well their later work was crap" argument (an argument I used, incidentally).

And I realised the other day I don't like T.Rex either.

Tom, you hurt me in my heart.

Allow me to officially remove David Robert from the running.

Abba . Without any doubt

― Panagiotis Pileidis, Sunday, 22 September 2002 22:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Here, too.

Does anyone dislike Zero 7? How about Groove Armada?

and i dare anyone to criticise Prodigy

By the way the one song that people I know from all walks of life absolutely LOVE, is "Ghostwriter" by RJD2

Trust peeps

three months pass...

Groove Armada are horrible

― Mike Ouderkirk (Mike Ouderkirk), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 05:42 (twenty years ago) link

Wait, shit, I didn't realize I was bumping a four month old thread. I guess that was kinda pointless. Nevertheless, Groove Armada are shit.

― Mike Ouderkirk (Mike Ouderkirk), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 05:43 (twenty years ago) link

Um, Bob Marley/the Wailers?

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 05:49 (twenty years ago) link

nope

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 05:51 (twenty years ago) link

he's the devil! get him!

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 06:01 (twenty years ago) link

Bob Marley elicits nothing but a yawn and a "next!" from this corner.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 06:41 (twenty years ago) link

I don't see anyone vetoing Al Green yet...nor do I see how anyone with an ounce of taste or sense or just plain human decency (not to mention genitalia) could do so. He is king.

(Anyone veto Marvin Gaye yet? Actually, I'm remembering--it seems someone did.)

Cheap Trick, though. It seems hard to imagine disliking those first three CT albums...and I think every band Barrus mentioned, besides the Minutemen, are pretty unimpeachable, but I know people who dislike em each and all...)

The Ramones

― Chris Clark (Chris Clark), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 20:16 (twenty years ago) link

the answer to this question is Depeche Mode. Everybody likes Depeche Mode. That's a fuckin' fact.

― Rog, Wednesday, 18 June 2003 20:27 (twenty years ago) link

at least everyone who's seen martin gore in leather pants and suspenders singing "question of lust"

― Felcher (Felcher), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 20:40 (twenty years ago) link

I never liked Depeche Mode, personally. This is never going to succeed, you know.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 20:47 (twenty years ago) link

cosmic rough riders!

― doom-e, Wednesday, 18 June 2003 20:49 (twenty years ago) link

Why not try and find a band that no one hates--you might not love it, but you can appreciate it.

― cybele (cybele), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 20:51 (twenty years ago) link

I hate Depeche Mode.

― My name is Kenny (My name is Kenny), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 22:14 (twenty years ago) link

the Shangri-Las?

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 22:15 (twenty years ago) link

i hate depeche mode also

justyn might just be on to something there.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 19 June 2003 01:31 (twenty years ago) link

Soft Cell? I never found anyone who hated them.

― phil jones (interstar), Thursday, 19 June 2003 01:35 (twenty years ago) link

No one's shot down Joy Division.

Or the Buzzcocks as far as I can tell.

What about the Ramones?

― Simon H., Thursday, 19 June 2003 01:36 (twenty years ago) link

Jesus H. Penises people can we just say James Brown and call it a fucking day? What's the point of suggesting more new bands when we can't agree on the ones already suggested?

― Millar (Millar), Thursday, 19 June 2003 01:43 (twenty years ago) link

I don't like James Brown. Sorry!

― phil jones (interstar), Thursday, 19 June 2003 01:52 (twenty years ago) link

Haha I was going to POINT out that Geir wouldn't have agreed either.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 19 June 2003 01:57 (twenty years ago) link

phil jones and geir are bots

― Millar (Millar), Thursday, 19 June 2003 02:31 (twenty years ago) link

I hereby shoot down Joy Division and the Buzzcocks

― Dan I., Thursday, 19 June 2003 02:53 (twenty years ago) link

That leaves the Ramones? I'm for the Ramones then

― Millar (Millar), Thursday, 19 June 2003 02:56 (twenty years ago) link

nope.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 19 June 2003 03:05 (twenty years ago) link

If we ignore people who hate Manchester, we must settle on Joy Division, New Order, the Smiths, and Stone Roses. At the absolute least. No need to include the Fall, Oasis, Happy Mondays, etc.

We just fucking love Manchester, okay?

(perhaps a little bias crept in as I was born there).

― David A. (Davant), Thursday, 19 June 2003 05:25 (twenty years ago) link

Almost forgot the Buzzcocks for a minute there.

― David A. (Davant), Thursday, 19 June 2003 05:27 (twenty years ago) link

David Wilcox

― blutroniq (blutroniq), Thursday, 19 June 2003 06:42 (twenty years ago) link

STOP THIS MADNESS!

(PS I don't like the Ramones. Despite Shania's patronage.)

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Thursday, 19 June 2003 06:48 (twenty years ago) link

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 19 June 2003 06:48 (twenty years ago) link

"who can hate Miles Davis?"

Cicely Tyson?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 19 June 2003 07:49 (twenty years ago) link

― Patrick Kinghorn, Sunday, 30 November 2003 23:29 (twenty years ago) link

I don't like Miles Davis (though I wouldn't go as far as to say I hate him.)

― Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Sunday, 30 November 2003 23:36 (twenty years ago) link

Blondie. Surely no-one hates Blondie do they?

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 30 November 2003 23:42 (twenty years ago) link

What about Billy Idol?

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 30 November 2003 23:50 (twenty years ago) link
