Top 5 - Popular Bands/Artists/genres you just don't get

I'm gonna defend the free form jazz. If you have to listen to jazz, at least let it be weird and difficult, otherwise, why bother if it's just going to sound like background muzzak for a coffee shop? Four geeks playing four melodies at once? Sounds cool to me. ;-)

Michael Jackson - just can't stand the sort of weird gulping effect.
Pulp/Jarvis Cocker - how did that geezer carve a career out of one decent song?
U2 - just utter dross -love Bill Bailey's piss-take on "The Edge" https://youtube.com/watch?v=H8dZwXnMrRU.
Stevie Wonder - music to sleep to.
The Libertines/Pete Doherty - the definition of talentless.

(Not in my list but I'm surprised no one has come up with Simply Red or M People!)

Just don't get the abuse for the perfectly acceptable, semi-decent Coldplay though - are people just trying to get "likes" from Noel Fielding or is it really their own point of view?

Coldplay utterly dreadful whining that goes on forever, they just dont know when to shut up. But then, if I was constantly fed spinach and seaweed smoothies, I'd whine a lot more too.

I'd be too busy shitting through the eye of a needle to whine.

1. Abba 2.Abba 3. Abba 4. Abba 5.Abba

I understand perfectly that people are not Coldplay fans. But are some of you really saying that you find their success more perplexing than, say: Take Life, Westthat, countless other syrupy so-called boy bands or Kate Bush, Björk, The Plastic Ono band, Yoko Ono by herself, Celine Dion, Barry Manilow, Des O'Connor, Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber, Justin Bieber.... Jeez this post is beginning to sound like a cover of that Mylo song now!

Coldplay are absolutely horrible, similar to Adele in the sense every song seems to be about depression or horribleness. Your life can't be that bad, surely.

And I'm sorry mate but MJ, the libertines, pulp and Stevie wonder are all amazing!

You were doing so well in that response until you mentioned Jackson... ;-)

Children singing (unless it's your own)

I'm pleased to see that everyone likes all the classical stuff.

Classical is fine - well, much of it

Beyoncé - I cannot stand her. No doubt another album is soon set to come out with a number one track involving finger clicking and asking all the single ladies to be confident and r.e.s.p.e.c.t themselves while she does her tour in one of Jay Z's private jets.

One Direction - Obviously screaming girls like it but a mate of mine was trying to argue how it's "catchy" and easy to like.....no it isn't, it is rubbish and since then anything he has suggested musically has been passed off as kak.

@cafcfan‌ couldn't put this any better 'The Libertines/Pete Doherty - the definition of talentless.' he is a complete clown shoe.

@kentaddick‌ cheers mate, that was brilliant.

The best thing she has ever had her name mentioned in to be fair.
