In a way, I agree with you. But you can't deny his talent. "Cuts Like a Knife' is one of my favorite radio tunes from the late heyday of FM radio, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Great guitar riff, solid melody, good lyrics, great hooks.

He is rumored to have done a no-compromise record with Steve Lillywhite, only to decide not to release it.

The problem is not his talent. His talent is obvious. He just seems more interested in making money than making art.

What a shame. So yeah, actually, I do agree with you . That Robin Hood thing was an atrocity. A well constructed atrocity, but an atrocity nonetheless.

And to clarify: I'm not saying that I wish Brian Adams was dead.

There are certainly far less talented folks out there.

I iddn't for a second think that you meant that. Just wanted to point out that this is not briney we are dealing with. Talent can go terribly wrong.

Dave Matthews Band.

 

[ramicio]

Mickey Avalon.  A white makeup-wearing fag doing rap music.  And anything Emo, Indie, or Alternative.

 

[winma]

Wow, 3 yrs old thread bump. 
 
Anyways the most hated artist by me is Kanye West. 

 

[soundaddicted]

Justin BIEBER!! i wouldn't call that music...

 

[MrGreen]

Deadmau5. Bad music, overly arrogant man who doesn't respect fans. Aphex Twin - mostly because of the fanbase of pseudo-informed listeners.

Agreed. 
Another to throw on that list, Britney spears. She was great when started singing, but became very commercial.

There are only three people/bands that make me dive for the volume knob, Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, and The Mars Volta. 

 

[DeusEx]

Lady Gaga/Bieber.  (Unfortunately, can't escape from the reality of it being played/embraced constantly everywhere, even when I was in Asia this summer).

 

[digx]

Kanye, since Graduation.
