Boards of Canada are ok- as in I don't actively hate them -but I don't often see the point of playing MHTRTC when it's sitting so close to my Cocteau Twins cds.

yuss, COCTEAUS. or has someone already done them?

― alexfack, Friday, 20 September 2002 02:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I know so many people who hate the Cocteaus..

Dare i suggest ABBA?

Is this "bands that EVERYONE loves" or "bands that EVERYONE ON ILM loves"? If the former, I suspect no one, but James Brown may be as close as you'll get. I'm not sure I've ever met anyone who didn't at least like his stuff.

I hate the Minutemen and Neil Diamond.

are there VU hatas among us?

― s, Friday, 20 September 2002 04:51 (twenty-three years ago)

I've heard a LOT of people slam the Velvets. (are you out there, Mark Prindle?)

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 20 September 2002 05:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I FUCKING HATE THE KINKS.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 20 September 2002 06:11 (twenty-three years ago)

I dont like the Velvets or the Minutemen. Don't dislike them either particularly but that's not the point.

I do like James Brown.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 20 September 2002 06:56 (twenty-three years ago)

let me second chic. surely...

― michael wells (michael w.), Friday, 20 September 2002 07:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Alex in NYC, do you hate Madonna?

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 20 September 2002 09:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Any Momus haters out there? What about Brian Eno or Marvin Gaye. Go Beach Boys!

― kinski (kinski), Friday, 20 September 2002 09:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I've got it - REM! No, hang on a minute, I don't like them...

― Jez, Friday, 20 September 2002 09:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm willing to bet I'm the only person on ILM who can't stand ABBA, and even I like a few songs.

Dare i suggest ABBA?

Nope.....

― Ray M (rdmanston), Friday, 20 September 2002 10:01 (twenty-three years ago)

''haha you are all kidding right? come on let's face it the answer is SLEEPER''

I will set fire to yr hair mark!

''I dont like the Velvets or the Minutemen. Don't dislike them either particularly but that's not the point.''

bah! no one looked at that suggestion and then nearly towards someone had to say they don't love minuteman.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 20 September 2002 10:03 (twenty-three years ago)

well OK so no one has said they hate minuteman, Tom says he doesn't dislike them: Minuteman wins!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 20 September 2002 10:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't hate Momus, but honestly I don't like his music.

everyone loves bon jovi, even when they say hate they mean love, you know this, I know this.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 20 September 2002 10:09 (twenty-three years ago)

No cos thats not the question Julio. I wouldnt admit to liking them cos I don't.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 20 September 2002 10:09 (twenty-three years ago)

bah!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 20 September 2002 10:12 (twenty-three years ago)

i've not heard minuteman.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 20 September 2002 10:13 (twenty-three years ago)

"Has anyone shot down the Beach Boys yet?"

BANG!

*Sound of band falling to earth accompanied by the sound of screams in irritating four-part harmony*

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 20 September 2002 10:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Just to summarize. The artists that have been mentioned that I like have all been shot down, except James Brown.

The rest that were mentioned - I don't like.

So right now it's James Brown (unless someone shot him down when I wasn't looking.)

― dave225 (Dave225), Friday, 20 September 2002 10:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Minuteman are toss. Nice choruses, but the verses... yekky dehh...

I seem to recall Vitalic has a decent rep round here...

― Mr Swygart (mrswygart), Friday, 20 September 2002 10:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I've never heard anyone say they dislike Beck...?

― Jez, Friday, 20 September 2002 11:06 (twenty-three years ago)

i dislike beck.

― michael wells (michael w.), Friday, 20 September 2002 11:08 (twenty-three years ago)

and i don't believe you.

btw, what's with the bold type.

― michael wells (michael w.), Friday, 20 September 2002 11:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham shot down James Brown, unless he counts as a 90s artist. There is no ruling yet as to whether the weapon used in the shooting is acceptable under thread-rules.

― mark s (mark s), Friday, 20 September 2002 11:13 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't stand Beck.

I think there's a Minuteman/Minutemen confusion going on.

James Brown counts as a 90s artist surely - was there not a MEGAMIX and a single in about 97??

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 20 September 2002 11:14 (twenty-three years ago)

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

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 20 September 2002 11:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Slade!

Big Audio Dynamite!

The Firm!

The Bangles!

Was Not Was!

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 20 September 2002 11:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't care much for Ministry. Most Kool & The Gang, Ella Fitzgerald, Weezer and Basement Jaxx stuff i've heard has been in-one-ear-out-the-other. The Human League makes it but barely. I've never heard Spacemen 3. X is WAY overrated.

Joy Division ?

― Patrick, Friday, 20 September 2002 11:36 (twenty-three years ago)

People, people. Abruptum! Everybody loves Abruptum, right?

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 20 September 2002 11:45 (twenty-three years ago)

So, everybody likes Gene Vincent then, eh? If not, surely we all got a little love for Buddy Holly.

So, far JB is the only one out there it looks like everybody's giving a chance to.

― christoff (christoff), Friday, 20 September 2002 11:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't like Buddy Holly, sorry.

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 20 September 2002 11:56 (twenty-three years ago)

btw, what's with the bold type
What bold type? Re the thread, it's nice for once to be able to say I don't like, REM, Stone Roses, Elvis & Nirvana...and not get into trouble.

Erm, should I get me coat?

― Jez, Friday, 20 September 2002 11:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Sammy Davis Jnr?

― kinski (kinski), Friday, 20 September 2002 12:00 (twenty-three years ago)

''I think there's a Minuteman/Minutemen confusion going on.''

OK minutemen were a band on SST who released the best alb evah (OK maybe not but it's a v v good rec) ('Double nickels on the dime'). the other band is a recent thing and I heard one single which I thought was a joke (in a bad way).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 20 September 2002 12:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm down with Sammy, man. I love that cat. You know that.

― dave225 (Dave225), Friday, 20 September 2002 12:16 (twenty-three years ago)

there was bold type, i swear. it's gone though.

― michael wells (michael w.), Friday, 20 September 2002 12:17 (twenty-three years ago)

No, Tom, I don't hate Madonna.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 20 September 2002 12:40 (twenty-three years ago)

I shoot down: Chackha Khan (occasional good stuff w/ Rufus doesn't excuse dreary solo career), Motorhead (like the occasional song, but too repetitive for me to LOVE 'em), Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Britney Spears, Bon Jovi, and for what it's worth Gene Loves Jezebell and Queen.

Now, if we assume that dave225 wasn't serious about not liking all candidates xcept James Brown (tho he could be, correct me if I'm wrong dave) that leaves us with:

James Brown

The Bay City Rollers

GWAR

The Cure

Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps

The Spinners

Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes

Little Richard

Al Green

Buzzcocks

Undertones

The Shangri-Las

The Clash

Magazine

Louis Prima

The Skatalites

New Vauderville Band

Slade

Chic

Human League

St.Etienne

David Bowie

The Ronnetes

Mercury Rev

Johnny Cash

Can

AC/DC

Huey Lewis & The News

Madonna

Brian Eno

Marvin Gaye

Big Audio Dynamite

The Firm

The Bangles

Was Not Was

Joy Division

Abruptum

And, oddly enough:

Ted Nungent

Sproyton Layer

Eminem

Anal Count

Sammy Davis Jr.

(Graham's pre-1990 ban is just a sad and shows how out of touch he is with The Kids- I should know, I'm one.)

― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 20 September 2002 12:54 (twenty-three years ago)

... I was serious... not that I don't like all of the above.. but I thought that they had all been shot down in some form... Except for the ones that I'm shooting down:
Gene Vincent, Bay City Rollers, Ted Nugent, Sproyton Layer, Eminem, Anal Cunt, GWAR, The Spinners, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Undertones, New Vaudeville Band, Slade, The Firm..

Can't say I love any of them. There are others that I can't say I love, but don't really have a problem with...

― dave225 (Dave225), Friday, 20 September 2002 13:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I really do only like about three records made before 1990, is this so hard to understand?

― Graham (graham), Friday, 20 September 2002 13:07 (twenty-three years ago)

the cure. peeoww!

― michael wells (michael w.), Friday, 20 September 2002 13:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Well actually, yes! Cos there are tons of great records before 1990! Obv!

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 20 September 2002 13:11 (twenty-three years ago)

I think everybody secretly loves BARRY WHITE ok ok at least the song that was on Ally McBeal when she dances about in those WHACKY unisex bogz0r.

I wd like to think everyone likes KATE BUSH but when faced with some of the Lionheart/Hounds of Luv (hammer)HORRORS I cd see why they do not.

― Sarah (starry), Friday, 20 September 2002 13:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Well no one's bothered to tell me about them.

Oh hang on, Barry White wins. End of thread.

― Graham (graham), Friday, 20 September 2002 13:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Barry [ ] is substantially challenged
