Hard News: One man’s Meat Puppets is…, in reply to Danielle,
That song does, however, have the distinction of being the one Kanye West track in history which does not namecheck Louis Vuitton, but rather Dior. So there's that. :)
*massive applause*

Happy fucking funky house with "sunshine" in the lyrics.
And the saddest part about that is the "sunshine" lyric is often a ripoff of this stone cold classic from Roy Ayers:

Oh, Peter. How can you possibly say that about Arcade Fire???
Hey, plenty of people seem to love them and all power to them. I just don't seem to get it.

Worst vocal performance, and most over-rated band of all time:
Boom!
That Hendrix was rubbish too. All fingers and thumbs...

Any song which includes a spoken word interlude.
Isaac Hayes "By the Time I get to Phoenix"? No, say it ain't so!

This is sososo hideous it made Grease preferable at the time
Alex Petridis at The Guardian said he liked to stir his Springsteen fan mates up by telling them that "Bat out of Hell" was the album that Bruce would have made if he'd had more talent.
Hardy har har. *applause*.

I've loathed Dire Straits forever. This youtube clip has a Suzuki shopping basket ad on before it; perfectly targeted marketing.
Good call. Music for young (at the time) accountants and metal fans who turned 30 and needed to get sensible

Can I throw in a late shout for Arcade Fire as well please? Seems to have an amazing ability to make me switch a radio off.
Also, funnily enough, almost anything that Kim Hill plays...

However, UB40 will always make me want to drill out my ears.
Heh, funnily enough it was hearing some of UB40s 12" dubs as an impressionable young man that got me hunting out the good stuff from likes of Scratch and Tubby.
Your point still stands though.

My partner loves that Nico album but we've agreed that it should probably never go on in my presence. Velvet Underground & Nico? Sweet as. Nico on her own? Yeh nah, no thanks.
She also loved Bob Dylan but I've managed to convince her that he's an appalling old charlatan who should never be given air space.
I also have a bone to pick with anything that takes it itself remotely seriously. From the appalling Creed through to the faux serious cred of that Tool and NiN crap.
Lloyd Webber is another obvious candidate but, finally, I'm going to throw in all that atonal post-rock super hipster rubbish. You're neither big nor clever, get over yourselves.
Ah, that feels better.
