I hate Metallica. Not for what they were, but for what they became. Suing their fans over the whole Napster thing was just despicable, and their latest music is an insult to their musical legacy. Unfortunately, this colors my perception of their music and makes it very hard to enjoy their older, classic material (which makes me hate them even more).
I also hate rap. Just about all of it, equally and evenly. I wouldn't hate it as much but it's absolutely everywhere, and I can't get away from it in public places. Well, no, I can, thanks to the ES2
My most hated band, however - by a mile - is Barenaked Ladies. In a special on VH1, I've heard them say
"we're like your favorite band, but better!"
Um... are you better than Shpongle? Are you better than Pink Floyd? Than Camel, Rush, Nile, Amethystium, Alchemist, OTT, Delerium, Jethro Tull, and Nicholas Gunn? Are you better than Rachmaninoff, Liszt, and Bach? No, you just are a band of arrogant ***** that don't know their *** from a hole in the ground when it comes to good music, but are too blinded by commercial success to see it. Or maybe you do see it, in which you're some of the biggest hypocrites in music history. ************* ********!
