Abba songs make me want to roll around on the ground holding my ears and screaming 'LA LA LA LA LA LA' until my insides melt.
What bands can just JUST... NOT... STAND???

COURTEENERS
Rage Against The Machine!
fuck you!
RATM
good choice
FAIL
who sang that
song about wearing the same jeans? Them. The Zutons are on the up on my hate list. Kasabian. There're loads. Paulo Nutini, though his drunk trampie performance at that Live Earth gig or was it the Live (Dead) Diana one was undeniably entertaining for all the wrong reasons. U2.
The View Klingklang
Now you can hate the band proper like...
the
Hoosiers
the River Island
in the High Street of wan indie-pop.
You need help with those ears
Songwriting genuis, pal.
Abba is a lot more than Mamma Mia The Musical.
^this, more or less
i have nothing against abba, though i admit i wouldnt listen to them. what i really fucking hate it the constant karaoke versions of their songs being shoved down my throat, with one exception:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiI5-c6GNz8&feature=related
i respect you a lot less now
:(
One Night Only
The lyric "You and me, equality" just goes RIGHT through me.
Lol.
how? abba are okay
To be honest,
I think it's because my mum's such a massive fan of them, so I hear them ALL THE TIME. If she's not playing it, she's singing it. I'm dreading when Mamma Mia comes out on DVD because it will be on CONSTANTLY. Although I'll probably have moved out by then.
Most likely, I wouldn't hate them if my mum didn't LOOOOOVE them.
And also..
They are rubbish.
Boris
Johnny Foreigner
Pete And The Pirates
Black Kids
Late Of The Pier
Future Of The Left
^ a few bands to raise my ire recently.
and always Foals.
So you don't like any hyped band?
I agree with about half of that
you're wrong about Foals though.
I've just realised I've hated them
for 18 months http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/1478184
Out of all of them
I think Foals will die first
The Foals
Absolutely dire.
Anytime I hear "Cassius, it's over, you're second best", my heart sinks very low.
I kind of liked
it on first listen then I made the mistake of watching the singer, styled&affected to within an inch of his life it seemed, and it totally turned me off. Oh well.
Also,
Besides making horrible music, I despise the fact that in most interviews, he bemoans the "hype" his band receives, yet appears in loads of interviews, television appearances (Never Mind the Buzzcocks, MTV2) and radio shows. On top of that, his hair cut is wank.
I bet
he cries after sex too.
GOOD ONE LOL
I like the Antidotes bonus CD
I loathe everything
about the Divine Comedy.
^^^^^
Yes this!
This.
Yes.
Even the Father Ted theme tune??
and 'My Lovely Horse'???
yeah
everything about them. Everything.
:(
I didnt think it was possible to hate 'My Lovely Horse'
it's tainted
by the stench of Hannon.
abba are shit thought
shit thought
alan partridge improved on their back catalogue. tells you all you need to know really
Boney M
Pure torture. As for Abba, some of they're output (Winner Takes It All, Angeleyes, One Of Us, Dance While The Music Still Goes On) is up there with the best pop music ever recorded.
I Have A Dream, on the other hand, is wank.
If you need a laugh, check this out:

No band capable of that can be all bad.
^ racist
Even Ra Ra Rasputin?
You have no soul.
To give Boney M their dues
The "Ooh those Russians" bit in that song is pretty funny.
Frank Farian was also responsible for Milli Vanilli. Worse than Cowell.
"Leaning over me, he was trying to explain the laws of geometry"
I hadn't heard that song before, it's BRILLIANT. I really like One of Us too, I've got nothing against Abba. There are worse bands out there, like The Red Hot Chilli Peppers for one.
Simply Red
The Beautiful South
Savage Garden
Ting Tings
The Black Kids
Born Ruffians!
Enya makes me want to stab myself in the knees
Newton Fuckner
The View are simply awful.
And the arrogance of Oasis and a number of their fans has always pissed me off and mystified me in equal measure. A decent pub band with some decent singalong tunes, nothing more. But still I hate them.
Oh, and HOW did I forget The Kooks?
twats.
As much as i hate Abba's 'legacy' (if you will)
e.g. shit musicals and loudmouth hen party karaoke, but there is no denying that they wrote some absolutely mint records. i think i like them a lot more because of Muriel's Wedding though.
I love ABBA
it's horrible how they are kind of seen as these cheesy joke to so many people, assosiations with horrid 70s fashion, shitty musicals and hen nights.
The Winner Takes it All is probably my favourite ever pop song. Perfect in every way. I get shivers down my spine every time i hear it. I'm imagining the song in my head now and i'm getting shivers.
I can't stand The Kooks. His damn voice. Ugh.
it's the seemingly affected
"catch" in his voice and punchable face coupled with the idea that the 1st vomit of songs were about Katie Melua that all adds up to a band we can all direct our bile at.
^ this
i think my favourite is Dancing Queen. It's difficult to completely appreciate it sometimes considering its ubiquity but...yeah. Never particularly great lyricists mind, although i guess they were writing in their second language.
an ex of mine was from Sweden
she didn't like them because she found their English embarrasing. I think the lyrics are great though, sure they are very simplistic but the generally jist of the song is really easy to understand. The music though is actually quite complex. Especially the last album, the Visitors. That is a brilliant album. Not really a pop album at all, had much more in common with a musical soundtrack, lots of sudden stops and almost classical melodies.
i'm not sure
it's admirable that they could write lyrically competently bilingually (trilingually? i think they wrote in German or something once) but ...i don't know. i find certain turns of phrases they use a bit cringeworthy, i guess.
Robyn is still my favourite pop exprt from Sweden, mind. By about a squillion miles.
The Beautiful South
It's like listening to two washed-up fortysomethings that were once on opportunity knocks appearing as the "celebrities" at a karaoke night in Walsall.
Worse lyrics than Scouting for Girls, worse singing than the Kooks, tunes like the ones they use in Health and Safety videos for businesses.
In short, the musical equivalent of Belgian 1980s daytime TV. Shit.
definitely The Foals
I reallt fucking hate Calvin Harris.
I'd just love it if he disappeared from music, or at least from a few of my friend's music taste. Every time they play him I die a little inside.
Also, that cunt with the trumpets...
...
Mark Ronson
Die pls
scouting for girls
a high five to the face for anyone who likes them
Marnie Stern

ABBA are amazing.
Id like to throw in

all Ska
The Cure
Beastie Boys
Red Hot Chili Peppers
suck
Faith No More
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Rage against the Machine
Nine Inch Nails
