Pink Floyd - I hit the button at first indication of their presence.

Queen - I can’t fathom how these guys ever got any traction with Bohemian Rhapsody, which I at first had assumed was a disc jockey joke.

Canned Heat - What the . . . !!??

Rush and the Eagles. Wouldn't choose to listen to either of them.

Radiohead. Apart from a couple of songs, they do nothing for me.

At the risk of committing grievous heresy, I've never heard anything by Bob Dylan that would make me want to buy an album.

And I find Neil Young to be a bit dull and boring.

I'll crawl back under my rock now.

KISS - pretty much your average Saturday night bar band with a marketing schtick.

Queen - very talented I just couldn't get into them

Styx

Journey

pretty much every 80's hair band

The Rolling Stones. They never were the band they could have been.

Smashing Pumpkins. Great musicians and great songs.
Billy Corrigan’s breathless voice gives me a rash.
I like Rush and Janes Addiction… go figure

Ahh, see? I probably heard too much of it one time and suffered a head injury. What an awful earworm, nasty excuse for a song .

There are many I dislike. These are a few that cause me to become angry when I hear them.
And in no particular order…
Green Day
The Ramones
Kiss
Most of the hair bands of the 80’s

Well, Runny Noses, (AKA Guns & Roses) can't stand them.
Pretty much 99% of country music. Hair bands, Lynard Skynard, Kiss, I could go on & on.

I'll probably open a can of worms here, but it's just my ears, so don't shoot me.

Not a band, but an artist--I just can't get into Tommy Emmanuel.

I can appreciate how good of a player he is, but the music just doesn't isn't my bag.
