Classics that you can't stand

Oh, no reason to apologize, was just a little shocked to hear that.

Agreed totally! I never really liked Guns n Roses though

Most of Iron Maiden (if I want to hear female vocals I'll listen to Nightwish)

Ozzy-era Black Sabbath (most)

Yes (see Iron Maiden)

Motorhead (possibly the worst vox this side of Bob Dylan)

Off the Christmas list, onto the hit list!!


(Just kidding, but that's an interesting if blunt take on Maiden.)

I seriously cannot stand the stereotypical metal shriek anymore. I wouldn't even like Priest if they weren't so engrained in my psyche from childhhood.

Never a fan of Guns & Roses - I remember when Appetite came out and the album just never clicked with me.

Man, those guys are either love or hate. That album still stands to me as a watershed moment. Seminal, if you will. I know there were bands like that before and after, but that whole album is a masterpiece in my opinion.

Most Deep Purple. I like a song hear and there and the album Burn is good but a lot of it leaves me cold.

Probably 95% KISS's catalogue
Pretty much everything I've ever heard by Pink Floyd
Most of Led Zepplin's songs (I can't stand Plant's vocals)
Anything and everything by Queen.

My girlfriend hate GENESIS/PHIL COLLINGS and i dont like QUEEN at all.

All Rolling Stones, My #1 pick for the most overated band of all time.
Aerosmith, sorry Ult, hope we can still be friends.
Kiss.
Ozzy, Sabbath or otherwise

everything by Lynryd Skynyrd

Freebird..thats all i have to say about that. Lynryd Skynyrd I really dislike.

I don't blame this on any of the classic bands. I liked most of their stuff at one time, it's the fault of the radio programmers who played a lot of good stuff into the ground; but truth be told there are very few "classsics" that I care to hear anymore. 90% of my listening is at least somewhat underground/forgotten stuff now. It's just fresher to me.

Such a good point SAHB.

I really don't like Living After Midnight at all.

Crazy Train does nothing for me.

I hate Enter Sandman.

Also, for many bands, it's not that their most famous songs are bad, it's that often there are much better songs on the album. Often, the "overplayed" songs are among the "weakest". Not always, but much of the time.

I also couldn't stand Van Halen's "Jump", though I loved the rest of 1984. That song annoyed me from day one and it became hard hearing it over and over on radio/MTV.

I wouldn't say I can't stand them, but Pink Floyd I never really got. Have some on vinyl and every time I spin it I feel like I'm missing something with it.

I love Kiss but can completely understand how people could hate it.

Anything by a "GOD band" That just blows...

And have to agree on KISS, not for me

You're a bastard. Death by tray it shall be!

I dislike any song that classic rock radio chooses to "play into the ground". Some examples include:
Guns N' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle & Sweet Child O' Mine ( I LOVE the rest of this disc)
Lynard Skynard - Sweet Home Alalbama & Free (if I hear this song one more FREAKIN time I will rip out my eardrums) Bird
Van Halen - Jump (the rest of this disc is GREAT)
AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long (AC/DC is my FAV band, and I love their entire catalogue.. BUT this song, as it has been over-played to the point of torture)
Aerosmith - Dream On
RUSH - Tom Sawyer
KISS - Rock and Roll All Night (I LOVE KISS, and most every other song they did during the 70s, BUT this song is just CRAP!!)

I could go on and on, and this list grows EVERY DAY, as Classic Rock radio stations refuse to play anything other the hit singles from classic bands...

I can't seem to get into:

Guns N Roses
KISS

I'm really trying to get into KISS but I haven't found much that I like from them.
