Name a band that everyone likes

I'm fine with things as they are, just sayin'. View attachment 3745909

Nope. I don't care for them, though I understand their place in pop music history. And the hype and worshipping surrounding them turns me off.

In fact, I'm going to agree with lots of the posters in here and say there is no single musical artist that everyone likes.
Exactly. I hate their music but I get why they're important.

And I'm with you on the Beatles worship thing. I don't quite get it. Maybe I had to have lived through Beatlemania.

There's no such thing.
Think about all the people in the world. Not even all English-speaking people will like the same band, let alone other cultures.

For perspective, a real-life rock-star told me he enjoyed vacationing in Asia, because people didn't recognize him as often as they did at home or in other Western countries.
Whoever it is, I don’t like his band ;)
 
Nope. Maybe you don’t like them, but I don’t know any other bands with so many haters. Their music alone doesn't explain the extreme vitriol for this band.
Lot of haters for lots of things. Hell TB has a sizeable population that actively hates hip hop, pop, and/or any music made after 1989.

Nickelback got it worst only because it became a viral 'meme' type thing to hate on them. Doesn't make their music any less gag inducing to me.

This is an impossible task. Fun to spitball, but impossible. Somewhere out there is someone who only listens to Tiny Tim, or tibetan throat singing, or accordion covers of death metal songs.
