Deep Purple

Led Zeppelin

Genesis

Fleetwood Mac

Coldplay

Any big 'uns that you dont get? (ooo er missus)

Hate Coldplay with a vengeance, insipid music for student bedwetters and people who like their rock music to be very polite.

Keane are similar but worse, as they don't even have the decency to have a guitarist.

How dare you not get Led Zeppelin though

I really dont get why people like them. usually if I get into an debate about them, I ask the person to hum or sing one of their songs... as yet, no one has been able to!

Still don't get Led Zep!

You need educating

Just hum one Coldplay tune and you've hummed them all ! Words really can't describe how much I hate them...it's up there with anyone that made a 'career' from a reality TV show !

Kidderminster+ surrounding areas.

not keen on oasis,blur or springsteen to be honest!,led zep i did see live and all are bloody good at the job within the band but they were not at all original,'borrowed' a lot of material from the old blues guys thn re-wrote a word or two then passed it of as'page-plant' originals!,they had court cases in usa for plageurism and unlike eric clapton who fully acknowledged his influences from these black blues men and paid royalties, led zep did not!.

the guitarist (jimmy page)also ripped of 'the creation' guitarist eddie phillips idea of using a violin or viola bow across the guitar strings whilst playing and everyone exclaimed how original jimmy was!,but although a fine session player he was not original.

If I remember rightly the court case you refer to was because they didn't get full permission to use Willie Dixon's "Whole lotta love" but it was soon sorted. I think it was Chess Records that had the rights to the song, and you'll probably find they've made more money from Led Zeps version than they ever did from Willie Dixon or any of the other artists that covered it.

Top Of The Pops used it for years to introduce the programme, and on my copy of Led Zeps record, Willie Dixon is cedited with writing it

You must have Led Zep first. Who else can have 20million fans applying for 18 thousand tickets for a single concert ? ?

Watch out for the cinema release of the film of that concert. Released 17-10.

Watch out for Whole Lotta Lef, damn good tribute band.

Otherwise Pink Floyd. Self indulgent at times, but brilliant and groundbreaking.

I dislike boybands like Westlife and I'm not then impressed by Take That, though Take That have been better lately. I dislike Robbie Williams.

I also don't like Fleetwood Mac nor The Who.

I may be old fashioned in my thinking but you can only be a "band" if you can actually play the instruments.

There's loads I don't like and just as many that I do.

Because I'm an old fucker I've lived through the rock n roll years, I've witnessed Glam Rock, Punk, Heavy Metal, etc, etc, the list goes on, but each new genre always say they were influenced by their predessors.

At the end of the day there'll always be acts we like and don't like

"Beatles. A few good tracks but think it was a lot of hype about nothing. "

Strangely enough last night ended on the Beatles, J said "Norwegian Wood" was the only track of theirs she liked.... so our friend got out his phone and started playing other tracks like Lucy, Strawbery Field, Here Comes the Sun etc.... anyway much later it appears that there are quite a few songs that are the only Beatles track J likes... for a band that were only recording for 10 years give or take, there are a LOT of albums and some great songs scattered amongst them....

Personally, I like my music loud and heavy, but with a good story in the lyrics too...

Coldplay,two good songs,in a sea of drivel.

In defence of the Beatles,they went from she loves you yeah yeah yeah,to eleanor Rigby in two years,maybe for them drugs did work.they wrote some fantastic songs.

Muse, with their uncanny resemblance, rift-wise to Iron Maiden and that bloody thing that sounded like doctor who theme.

Apart from John Lennon and George Harrison, the Beatles have to be one of the most irritating bands of all time. Their only period that I would credit was their Sgt Pepper episode. Everything else made me want to rip my ears off.

And don't get me started on girlbands and boybands! They're just the spawn of the devil! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I really feel like i want to contribute to this thread but there are just so many bands i want to list. Credit to those who mentioned Queen, Coldplay and prety much everyone else in this extensive list too. The only one i can think of while my tiny brain has shut down is probably Roxette, bloody awful. Oh and Chicago, The Eagles and pretty much all that middle of the road american rubbish. You can also add all that pretentious progressive stuff too like Yes, King Crimson etc. I'd better stop now.
