I don't see how any self respecting fan of rock music can dislike all of these bands, especially 1-6. Don't know a great deal about 7-9. I don't like the child molester with or without his brothers.

In most cases, its bands who have at various times been on the same level of commercial success as the Stones or have exceeded it. I would guess its some kind of personal affront!

I started a new job a couple of months ago and my co-workers are still getting to know me. One guy downloaded some albums to his ipod the other day and was all excited about one in particular, and he showed me his ipod with the album cover art on it.

It was Journey's greatest hits.

without even thinking about it, my body recoiled in horror, as though I was a vampire and he was holding a cross up to me. It was weird having such a strong involuntary reaction to it, but I REALLY HATE THAT BAND!

Hahaha Keefan, that sounds like an awful moment. I remember last year starting a new job, and after work one day a new colleague drove me to the pub where we were all having a cold beer. Before entering his car, I was thinking "This guy seems pretty cool, what a relief to make a friend at work so quickly"... Anyway upon entering the car I immediately noticed his CDs in the car:

- Phil Collins live
- Lionel Ritchie
- Bryan Adams

And he started playing the Phil Collins CD and drumming his fingers on the steering wheel to the music. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

HA I am *exactly* the same way. During the Golden Globes I was hoping "Glee" would not win any more awards because they played a Journey song every time they won. There is something gut-wrenchingly awful about that band; the only band that even comes close imo is Styx.

They're really not the best of bands; it needs not be anything personal. Commercial success says very little about the quality of the music. They have *some* qualities, or made *some* good tracks, but IMO too few to appreciate much.

Most progrock, especially Yes and ELP, don't mind Pink Floyd though.

none of which is exactly enough to warrant them being the worst ten acts on the planet.....

That's not what I, nor the original poster, nor I think anyone else in this thread wrote. I would more call them overrated, and the thread is about "not liking".

In my music heyday of teens and early 20's:

Fleetwood Mac
Bruce Springsteen
Journey
Supertramp
Phil Collins

As I settled into my core likes of music I discarded:

Styx
Kansas
REO Speedwagon
Asia
All Hair bands
Bon Jovi
ZZ Top
