Hate is a strong word. I should probably use “really strongly dislike” instead, but it wouldn’t make for a pithy post title. But I digress…
Music is, as you likely know, very important to me. If I’m not writing it or playing it, I’m usually listening to it. And in all this I try to be reasonably open-minded, even though my listening habits are usually pretty narrowly confined to the arenas of rock, classical and ambient. But… But but but…
I’m sorry about this, but there are some artists that I just hate. I really do. I’ve tried not to, I’ve tried to give them a fair go, but I just can’t do it. A few bars in and I’m either reaching for my headphones or heading for the door.
At this time that list includes:
- The Smiths/Morrissey
- Johnny fucking Cash
- Beck
- The White Stripes
There are plenty of currently trendy bands that I would put on this list if I knew their names (one I know is Vampire Weekend – more irritating than genital warts) purely because they seem to take pleasure in singing just a bit off key or pjaying just out of tune enough to make me wish I could go spontaneously deaf, but I really don’t have the stomach to research their names.
Jesus. Just thinking about some of the shit that is played on the office stereo gives me the fucking shakes.
Still. If ever I’m at a party of yours and you want to get rid of me, now you know how to do it.

Hear hear on fucking Morrissey. It’s like listening to Mr Bean run through an Auto-Tune. Badly. Fucking daffodil-dangling fey fannywipe of a man. I wouldn’t shit in his eye sockets if I was touching cloth.
Sorry, I appear to be in a bad mood and have filled your comments with profanity.
The White Stripes! WTF is that “band” all about?.
Give me Take That any day
Tina Turner!Thats what get’s me,Call that singing,the noise from her mouth sounds as though she miss-placed her vibrator for a fuckin’CORK-SCREW…..wailing bitch!..ahem rant over.
Mark, you love Tina Turner!. You once had hair like hers……..a wig!
Yeah. Morrissey blows.
I love to HATE. Its a necessary reaction, esp with Music. I righton the CASH bs. Right on.
Stripes I like but you can ditto every band currently played on the radio, MTV etc…may they feel the burn of forced liquidity…
